    Ropa Vieja (Shredded beef) Mixed Rice with Black Beans and Fried Sweet Plantains
    Zachary F.

    If there is one place I want to go back to on our next visit to Cape Coral, it's Chuchi's! What started as a random choice for lunch on our visit quickly turned into my favorite meal. It is easy to drive by during the daytime as it's sandwiched in between a few other businesses and the parking lot is small, but it wasn't very busy at lunch time when we visited. Our server was extremely nice and worked with us to make some good choices as many of our party hadn't heard of some of the dishes. I knew as soon as saw the menu though that I was ordering the Ropa Vieja. A friend of mine has always made some of the best Ropa Vieja I have ever had but this I think topped it. This shredded beef dish that's been cooked in tomato sauce and spices had me wanting to come back for dinner for more!! Wow it was so good...tender and juicy beef almost melted in your mouth it was so tender, and packed with flavor on top of it. I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone visiting! It came with two sides as well and I opted for the rice and beans and plantains, both of which were delicious as well! My girlfriend opted for some empanadas which she said were very good, and other members of our party went with the Cubano sandwich and chicken sandwich, both of which said were good and filling! Overall, the amount of food and flavor you get for the price here is insane and I cannot say enough good things about it!

    Seafood Paella
    Jason F.

    I stopped by here earlier today for dinner. My family and I had arrived in Cape Coral earlier in the day and a quick search on nearby dinner places brought up Chuchis. After a quick look at the menu we decided to place an order online. Our order consisted of a huevos estrellados a La Habanera with a side of fried green plantains while my wife went with a seafood paella, my in-laws a paella and a fried rice with shrimps and my kids a pechuga de pollo a la Planch. After placing it I was given a timeline of between 25-45 minutes and it was ready in about 30 minutes. Since it was a takeout order, I can't say too much about the restaurant itself except that I picked up the order in the bar area and everyone there was nice. Once we got it back to our house we opened it up and everything looked good. I ended up enjoying my meal quite a bit. The eggs were still runny and I added those to the ground beef and rice for some richness. Then the beef itself had a nice sauce on it which tasted slightly sweet and worked well with the rice. Last for me was the plantains which I also enjoyed as they had a nice and crispy exterior with a little bit softer interior. I did wish that they had been seasoned a bit better as I ended up using a verde sauce on them. Everyone else in our family enjoyed their meals as well and i even tasted my kids grilled chicken and thought it was simple but moist and very well done. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I enjoyed my meal and thought it was something a little bit different for me.

    Beef Empanadas
    Danielle H.

    Wow what a hidden gem! Me and my family were in town for work and just sort of randomly picked this place for lunch and I'm so glad we did! The staff were so friendly and we felt very welcome. Although English was not their first language, the staff was kind and tried their best to help us choose menu items! I ended up getting two empanadas and they were delicious. They had a ton of flavor and were fried perfectly with a delicious crunchy exterior. The sauce to dip them in tasted fresh and complemented the empanadas perfectly. I honestly could have ate more than two but I didn't know how big they'd be. They have an option to get three empanadas on the menu and I'd suggest doing that! My family all got different menu items and loved their food as well!

    Churrasco with rice and fried yucas
    Max C.

    3 things about this place: 1. Decided it was time to try a different spot for Cuban food in Cape Coral and found this place not too long ago and decided to give it a try. The place might be easy to miss if you don't pay attention. 2. Churrasco, Ropa Vieja (shredded beef), and Masa Frita (fried pork chunks) were ordered. Churrasco lacked in flavor and figured the meal would come with the sauce like chimichurri, but no sauce. Ropa Vieja was tender and full of flavor so I definitely recommend this item. The pork chunks were so tender that it melted in my mouth. One of the most tender pork chunks I've had. 3. Rice and beans were okay but I have had better ones and the beans were a little salty for my taste. Fried yucas were fantastic but I wish they had different sauces instead of just one sauce. Overall, this place is good and I would come back to try different items on the menu. Definitely recommend the fried pork chunks.

    Steak and onions entree
    Alex O.

    This place had a nice ambiance, the food was delicious, the staff were friendly and attentive. I had the steak and onions with white rice, black beans and sweet plantains. It was a delicious entree with the beans well seasoned, the rice was really good and the plantains were sweet and tender. I'll definitely be coming back to try other dishes.

    Oh my, we just loved the fish, very tasty, and cooked to a perfection. My friend had told me about this place and when I first walked in, I thought this is very plain and almost looks like a cafeteria, but I tell you it was fantastic. The service was wonderful, we were very pleased, we'll definitely be back again

    Lechon Asada (roast pork) with black beans & rice and fried sweet plantains
    Alec L.

    I came to visit southwest Florida expecting to find great Cuban food. Chuchi's did not disappoint. We got lechon asado (roast pork) and churrasco (grilled steak). Our sides were black beans and rice and sweet plantains. Everything was perfect! The steak was perfectly cooked and flavorful. The pork was succulent. While black beans and rice may not be exotic, their preparation made for a tantalizing flavor and texture. Finally, the plantains were tender with just the right amount of sweetness. Service was attentive and very personal. Prices are very modest. Overall, Chuchi's is a slam dunk! I suspect we'll be back before heading home. My meals here are likely going to be my favorite of the trip.

    Lechon asado
    Arianna D.

    So, so good! We ordered the Ropa Vieja, which comes with white rice-it had the perfect amount of peppers in it. We also ordered lechon asado (pork), which comes with two sides. We opted for papas fritas (French fries), and yuca frita (fried yuca, which is like potatoes, kind of). It all tasted as close to traditional as it gets! Even the toddlers liked the French fries, lechon, and yucas fritas! I'll let the pictures do the talking for this one, but we will definitely be eating from here again, soon! The food was very filling and flavorful. There was enough food for two adults and two toddlers. We will all be sleeping good tonight!

    Masa Frita
    Kevin M.

    Nice Cuban spot in Cape Coral with plenty of seating. They have a few dishes that really stand out and they always give huge portions. There are a lot of Cuban spots in the area and this one is definitely worth checking out. Favorites: Tostones - One of my go-to items from here. These are always perfectly done. Crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside. Lechon Asado - Once again huge portion. A bit on the oily/fatty side but it made it all that more delicious. Served with sautéed onions that also were done nicely. Simple but great dish that hit the spot. Masa Frita - Absolutely delicious. Huge pork chunks that are extremely tender and juicy. Simple and classic dish. Nice crispy outside. Other Recommendations: Ropa Vieja - This dish is a big portion with a bunch of meat, but the beef usually comes on the chewier side. Sauce is quality with a good mix of pepper, onion and garlic. Cuban Sandwich - Massive sandwich with plenty of meat. The lechon is tender and moist and the spiced ham was tasty. The only downside here is the bread they use - I don't think they put enough fat on the outside or press it right, so the bread wasn't crunchy. Trio Empanadas - Comes with one beef, one chicken and a spinach empanada. They aren't as big as I was expecting but the beef and chicken ones were good. My spinach empanada was empty so not sure what happened.

The staff is super welcoming. Customer service is epic. We went specifically for the Seafood Paella. Our waiter told us that it takes about 40 minutes, as they make each order fresh. We were more than willing to wait. We decided on an appetizer, the Iberico Ham Croquettes. They were very lightly beaded and very crispy. We each had a glass of their white sangria. It was very refreshing. The paella came out and the aroma was heavenly!! It was the best paella I have ever eaten! The clams were so succulent and tasty. I could have eaten several dozen. All the seafood was cooked to perfection! We could not have asked for a better meal! I can't recommend Taberna Ole enough! A hit from start to finish.

We made reservations on Open Table, and I wanted to ensure I got my points. The computer is down.......sorry. They let us to a high top table. I do not want a high top. Took many minutes to decide which table to seat us at. We were there when they opened at 4pm and were the ONLY customers in the restaurant. When we left at 5:45pm we were STILL the only customers in the restaurant. Finally they seated us at a table. The absolute most uncomfortable chairs in the history of dining. Chairs with wooden bottoms. They explained that there was a concert this evening, and the place was booked full. OK. why not explain that on the web-site, so we could come another night. Or better yet, don't accept reservations for that evening. The noise level was horrible. Everyone of the staff scurrying around, moving tables, and chairs, setting up the speakers. Yelling, yelling, yelling, yelling. Could not hear myself think. Then, one of the owners opens a cabinet, and around 50 glasses come tumbling out, crashing to the floor and breaking. OK accidents happen. Then the performer arrived. Sorry, I do not know who he is, but the entire staff did and were very excited. They dropped everything and started taking photos with him. Then, they had to spend another 15 minutes showing each other the photos. This whole time, we are still the only customers, and we were totally ignored. The web site says happy hour is 4-6PM. The waitress tells us because of the party the happy hour is only lunch. Then, she asks a manager, and they bring a happy hour menu. We order from the regular and the happy hour menu. The one good note is that the cod fritters and the ham croquettes were excellent. The paella was soupy (I understand some folks enjoy it that way. I like mine with crispy rice) The waitress was very nice. She said she was sorry about all the confusion. We finally flagged her down and asked for the bill. She did, in fact, give us happy hour pricing. But, sorry, that does not make up for the evening. We left thinking that we would come back another day and give it a try. But, the next morning we woke up saying it was a horrible experience, and it is just not worth it. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g34230-d33076380-r1056307800-Taberna_Ole-Fort_Myers_Florida.html#

The saffron rice was rich and flavorful, the skirt steak was tender, and the white asparagus added a nice touch that made the dish feel special. For dessert, we brought home the Basque cheesecake with fig sauce. It was creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of sweetness from the fig sauce. Many people rave about the cheesecake, and after trying it myself, I understand why. It was absolutely delicious. We also picked up a bottle of red and a bottle of white wine for $25 each. Both wines paired beautifully with the food and made our takeout dinner feel a little more special. What impressed me most was how well everything traveled. The food tasted as good at home as it would have in a restaurant, and the generous portions meant we enjoyed El Basque for days. Great food, great value, and a meal that kept on giving.
