Baracoa Cuban Restaurant was an amazing discovery when we stopped for a lunch pitstop on our drive…read moreup towards Tehachapi. I can easily see them being a favorite in the Palmdale area. There was plenty of parking in this lot. The entrance is located through their patio, which can be a bit counter intuitive. We came at opening and the restaurant got really busy during our time there. Initially we were looking at the sandwiches because it was lunch time, but then we were going to a wedding that night so we decided to eat something more filling since the ceremony and speeches always delay the eating. All entrees here are served with black beans and rice or congri, and 3 fried plantains. My boyfriend had the Ropa Vieja ($28) with the congri and I had the Lechon Asado ($25) with the rice and beans. Our food came out pretty fast after we ordered. My boyfriend's Ropa Vieja is a Cuban braised beef. The congri is basically a mix of the rice and beans. This dish was super tasty and the shredded beef was so tender with the bell peppers and onions. I can really taste the red wine and tomato sauce in the base. I took a few bites but in general I preferred my dish more, and vis versa he enjoyed his dish more. My lechon asado is a roasted pork that is super super tenderrrrrr. It was so sweet with the grilled onions and it had the perfect amount of fattiness without being over bearing. SO GOOD! Love the plaintains too. I'm glad I got the rice and beans option because I would have gotten too full too quick with the congri. I barely touched my beans and only got through half of my rice. Both dishes came with this super tasty garlic butter sauce that I poured on my rice and made it even tastier. It was so good. One thing I didn't enjoy about the experience was the flies attacking us and our food. Since the door is open and connected to their outdoor space, it leaves the opportunities for flies to come in. We had to play defense with the flies the whole time. The service here is a little slow. Especially when I was trying to get back on the road I wasn't feeling too patient. I waived down multiple staff members too. Also I got hit with an undisclosed 3% surcharge for using my credit card. I only found out after I got the receipt. I would have paid in cash if I knew. *dislike* LOVE LOVE LOVE the food. Might be the best Cuban food I've ever had... and I've been to Florida where there was a lot of Cuban spots. Room for improvement with service, flies prevention, and the disclosure of the credit card fee.

My aunt made reservations to this place in Palmdale. Palmdale is a very dry, hot heated area,…read more surrounded by bushes and lizards and maybe snakes too. Anyway, this place apparently is a fancy Cuban restaurant according to my aunt. We decided to eat here for dinner after 7pm on a Saturday and it was booked. A great place to take a date if you can even get one nowadays, lucky you. You found the right place. The Cuban food ordered was a vaca frita sandwich that was reasonably priced at $17 or so. It was dry, lacked seasoning and had even more dry plantain chips on the side fried to high heaven. My aunt ordered a grilled chicken sandwich. Still dry but more moist than my vaca frita sandwich. Server was Juan, he was good, good patience and quick delivery. Good overall was mid in my book. Maybe should have ordered the $65 plate with seafood. But it was overpriced. Although I could afford it, $65 for a plate is ridiculous. The other entrees included the fried bananas but the sweeter ones and black beans and rice with for example oxtail, fried steak, chicken and pork, of which was overpriced as well. At least $30 for each dish or more. Take a look at that menu. The ambiance inside was loud, outside was louder. Music was playing and there was this massive window door that separated the inside and outside. Inside it was small, there was a bar area for alcohol drinkers and in the back was a nice restroom. Other than that, it was a decent Cuban place, needs to adjust prices for the entree, but the sandwiches were at that sweet spot. The sand which to me needed sauce like tabasco or cholulu or some sort of wet birria sauce that would make it taste better. Incredibly dry, was not a fan of the texture, taste was fine. Came out to $50 for both plates and it was a little lackluster in my opinion but everything else, good service, nice ambiance and decent sandwich prices, it was worth the visit but maybe a one and done not sure. Maybe the plates are delicious.

While driving through Antelope valley today my husband decided he wanted to get some breaded fried…read morezucchini and looked up places that made them. That's how we wound up at Schooners today. Food: Super large portions. Not many healthy choices. We ordered the fried zucchini. It had a nice seasoning but it was too greasy. The caprese salad with vinaigrette was soggy and beyond disappointing. Figured that was the healthiest choice on the menu. I couldn't eat more than 2 bites. The loaded baked potato was swimming in melted butter. A lot of butter. The bacon was actually the star of the plate. This place is where you come to share several plates. Service: Great. Jamie T. was our server. She was super friendly and had such an upbeat personality. She checked back with us several times to make sure things were going well. Ambiance: Typical sports bar scene with big screen TV's on the walls. Plenty of parking.

We sat at the very NFL Playoff bar, and our bartender got to us as soon as he could with a smile. The only regret was clearing one of our glasses away a little too quickly as it was my water I like to have alongside my adult beverage. Ambiance: A+. This place was hopping! People at the bar were extremely kind and offered to move over for us so we could sit together. The team spirit here was entertainment in itself! Dietitian Dorothy's tip: Definitely split the dishes here. Some of them (nachos, fries) are BIG enough for one person to eat for a week!

My husband and I came here for the first time a few Saturdays ago and enjoyed our dinner,…read moreespecially since we caught happy hour. He loved the chips and salsa, though I thought they were just ok. I tend to like my salsa really spicy. We ordered chilaquiles with green salsa and a burrito. The chilaquiles weren't bad but came out a little bland for my taste. What saved the dish for me were the chiles toreados, which were seriously spicy and made all the difference. My husband enjoyed his burrito and had no complaints. We also worked our way through the cocktail menu; he got the peach margarita, I had the Mexican Candy, and we shared a watermelon margarita afterward. All three were excellent. Our waiter was wonderful and the rest of the staff were warm and attentive throughout. The atmosphere felt slightly stuffy, though not unpleasant. We came during their less busy hours, which worked in our favor since smaller spaces tend to get loud. I also learned they have live music, so we may come back another time to catch that.

We found a great sunday brunch restaurant in Palmdale. Medranos nailed the brunch, we arrived…read morearound 845am, we were let in a bit early by the nice staff, I have been to many brunch style events, this was over the top. There were 30ish hot pans full of different food options. From fresh ceviche, made to order eggs or omelets. I had the pozole and asked for an Omelette with ham and bacon and I topped it off with green chili pork, wow everything was amazing and hot. I went back 4 times to attempt to try a bit of everything but that was impossible with so many options. We had bottomless Champaign or Mimosas, I also tried the Camarones a la Diabla, they were amazing, good sized shrimp with onion and Jalapeños, they had a nice kick. I snuck in some flan. We had a party of 6, they had plenty of seating options, the staff was quick to refill our drinks and even provided a spicy salsa on request. The cost on a non 50% off day is around 35.00 each, we went on a Sunday, well worth all of the amazing food and drinks. I cannot recall the two days they offer a 50% brunch discount but they were two week days. The food qualify was high, I would highly recommend the brunch.

There was no one in line and plenty of available tables but it took a minute for the host to return to the counter. After we got seated, it took a while for our waitress to take our order, but she did get us water right away. Ordered the Ultimate Sampler for $18.99. You got to choose 4 items. Got the Cauliflower Wings, Crispy Chicken Dipper, King's Hawaiian Cheeseburger Sliders, Mozzarella Sticks. Also got the 6 pieces of Bone-In Wings for $14.49. The Cauliflower Wings with Parmesan Garlic sauce were delicious and it was hard to tell it wasn't chicken. Got the original Crispy Chicken Dipper and it was super crispy and descent with their sauce. Did not like the King's Hawaiian Cheeseburger Sliders as it was pretty bland. The Mozzarella Sticks came with Marinara sauce. Was not impressed with the Mozzarella Sticks at all. Got the Lemon Pepper sauce for the Bone-In Wings. We were already an hour in, almost done with our sampler, when our waitress checked in on us and we informed her we never got our wings. She said she will check on them and the wings came out hot and crispy a few minutes later. We were brought ranch dressing with our wings. Apparently if you don't tell them what sauces you want, they will automatically bring you ranch dressing. Also got refillable soda for $4.49. Would come back for the Cauliflower Wings and Bone-In Wings as they were really good. The staff were constantly busy so service was really hard to get.
