Cuban: Cuba Libre

Uptown/2822 N. Henderson/Dallas TX 75206/214-827-2820

We’ve frequented this place on a number of occasions. Joey once lived in Miami for 5 years and adores Cuban food. Some say there is a long wait to be seated here, but we’ve never had a problem before 5:00pm. In Dallas when dining out, timing is everything. The happy hour crowd is a fun group of young, casual professionals that often overflow to the outside patio. The Mojitos are terrific. The guacamole is by far the best we've ever had. Try the Cuban sandwich for sure. Other entrees include fish, chicken and burgers. Though we like Cuba Libre the food verges on being too Americanized for our authentic cultural quest. For starters there are no fried plantains and no Cuban coffee. Cuban cuisine is never low calorie so don’t count, just enjoy. The parking is valet, unless you’re lucky enough to find a free spot curbside, or willing to walk a few blocks. The exercise will do you good! Yankees Eat Rating = 4/Very Good
