I had the bacon egg and cheese and pizza empanadas: Hands-down, the best empanada I've ever had in my life! The dough is so soft and flaky in the filling ratio is simply PERFECT. They have a variety of sauces to choose from, and I got the garlic sauce, which was a perfect pairing with the empanadas. I also had the strawberry dragon fruit drink that was really tasty as well. The merch is also too stinkin' cute!!! I need a tumbler on my next visit. This is one of those places that you truly have to experience for yourself. It was well worth the long drive across the center of the Earth to get here. I will have to make a monthly visit here!

Unfortunately, my most recent experience was disappointing enough that I feel I have to leave a 1-star review. I recently placed an online order and paid an additional $0.25 to try the creamy cilantro sauce. I remember the sauces being free in the past, but I didn't think much of the small charge. However, when I picked up my order at the front counter, the sauce wasn't included with my food, so I had to go back and ask for it. The staff was helpful in getting it for me, so I appreciated that. Unfortunately, when I finally sat down to enjoy my meal, I discovered someone's hair in the sauce I had paid extra for. Finding a hair in food is already extremely unsettling, but especially in a sauce that had just been handed to me separately at the counter, it raised concerns about the cleanliness and food-handling practices. I understand that mistakes can happen, and I'm not expecting perfection. However, having multiple issues with a single order, first the missing sauce and then finding a hair in it, made this visit particularly disappointing. I hope this can be taken as constructive feedback, because I've enjoyed coming here over the years and would expect better attention to quality and cleanliness. Unfortunately, this experience left a bad taste in my mouth... literally.

Sometimes you walk into a Cuban spot and you're just hoping it feels like abuela's kitchen... and…read moreAzucar Cuban Restaurant gets pretty close. Started off with the sopa de pollo, and yeah... that's the kind of soup that doesn't just warm you up--it resets your whole mood. Rich, comforting, and tasted like it's been simmering with purpose all day. Then came the masa de puerco... crispy, juicy, and seasoned the way it should be. No shortcuts, no playing around--just straight-up authentic flavor. You can tell they respect the roots here. The vibe? Clean, welcoming, no frills--just letting the food do the talking. Now... full transparency--I'm very picky with Cuban food. When you grow up on homemade, you carry that standard forever. And let's be real... nothing--and I mean nothing--touches my mom's cooking. But Azucar? They earned their respect. Solid spot when you need that Cuban fix in this area.

We were proven right with an inattentive waitress who focused almost entirely on a table of 8 v ours of 4. They excel in Margaritas with at least 8 versions swirling about in their ready to serve containers. Mango is our favorite. Food is just so blah. I even ordered some grilled jalapeno peppers, which was something they do not regally do, and I received a small pile of jalapeno bits, oily and they did not make much difference in delivering flavor to blah-ville. Come on guys...you certainly can do better, but give the crowds you being in I guess there is not incentive to make the flood flavorful, eh?

I noticed because the menus are the exact same pictures and items (this includes the grammatical errors and typos) as Tony's. I ask and my server, Issac?, said he thinks so but wasn't sure. So how does it compare? Well for starters the salsa was not good in any way. It tastes like Bloody Mary mix or tomato sauce. Zero spice either. Much like the only other time I came here several years ago, there was no bartender working so for my drinks it was a couple of guys trying to figure out how to make them. They tasted alright but I'm not completely convinced that they are what I orderedbut the 2nd one was strong AF! My main meal, Texas Rice, was super bland and I am pretty sure the rice was bagged like Uncle Bens or something but the dish was ok. Not the worst but not the best (better than a few years ago). Issac was amazing! Best server in ages and very happy to chat and get to know. It's people like him that make the rest of the experience worth it. So is it better than Tony's? Nope but it's not that much worse as Tony's is also kinda bland and over priced as well. This makes sense since it's the same owner. Save your time and go to CoCo's on Ardry Kell
