A nice little beach bar at the end of the beach walk in Rota with a variety of Tapas, drinks, and…read moreentrees.
We followed the sunset to the end of the beach walk to find Azúcar de Cuba Beach Bar. With great popular music covers from 1970s to today playing in the background and setting the mood this beach bar has a great combo of indoor dining, as well as out door beach side dining and small cabanas. On weekends they have live bands providing entertainment.
It definitely was not easy at first to place an order. We weren't seated at a table but the server suggest we sit at a side bar looking outward to the beach and although it was a high traffic area no server in particular seemed to be responsible for customers sitting in that area.
The menu has a fun mix of Caribbean, Latin American, and Spanish inspired dishes. I had pico de gallo with tortilla chips which tasted fresh and flavorful. I asked for Sangria, the offered Rojo or Blanco. I chose red but recieved white Sangria which had a fruit and cinnamon sticks added. It was good, just not what I ordered.
My friend wanted the 75 Euro Steak meal but they told him no they were out. Someone at a table nearby sat down after us but got the steak. When he flagged down the server again he asked a second time but they told him no again and went to find a server who spoke some English. That server told him they only had one steak left and it was 75 Euro per kilogram and the only steak in the kitchen was over 1 kg so it would cost too much. It seemed awfully presumptuous to make an assessment that my friend in shorts and flip flops could not afford such a steak. He was more that willing to pay for it but got frustrated with being told no.
The food, drink, and atmosphere is 5 stars for sure but the service needs some improvement. I would definitely try again, maybe when they aren't so busy.
