*Quarantine Delivery Review*
It was my fiancé's birthday and the Quarantine Birthday Boy wanted Cuban food, so that's what we ordered. Unfortunately, there were not a lot of Cuban options delivering to our area. It was between this place, and another one we had tried before, which was meh - so we decided to give Casa Cubana shot. Unfortunately, most of the things were not hot when it arrived because it took longer than the quoted one hour delivery time.
We ordered:
Chicharron de Pollo - nice flavor but a little on the salty side. They should probably also pick a different packaging for it because it was no longer crispy when it arrived
Camerones el Ajillo - not much garlic flavor
Albondigas - meatballs were nice and tender but again, a little too salty
Lechon Asado (with yellow rice) - pork was tender, no complaints here
Paella Valencia - wasn't a fan of the seafood
Cubano - the pork was a bit dry and had a leftover-y taste. I liked the fresh plantain chips that it was served with though
We also ordered some extra sides: black beans, yuca frita, and maduros. I normally don't love maduros but I really like these. Even more than the yuca frita (which is my typical go-to side)
Overall, I would say the meat dishes are good, but the seafood ones are not that great. I also liked that they had all these small dishes, tapas style - so that we got to try a lot of different things, without breaking the bank or eating too much.
I don't know if they can adjust their salt levels. Since they have 'Catering' in their name, I assume they make everything in large batches. But if they can, I wouldn't mind giving it another try.
Delicious food. I ordered delivery and I was impressed.
