Juniper ArnoldFebruary 16, 2014I no longer wish to eat here. Even with reservations, you still have to wait. Had a 3 pm reservation and still was not seated by 3:30. We left. This place really needs to go to reservation only.
Not on the evening menu, but they will make you one of their famous Cubans if you ask.
- Vanessa IshJuly 30, 2011Cool building. Crappiest ovwrpriced food. Tou are better off microwaving black beans and rice at home.
Christopher ScharaldiSeptember 16, 2011Very disappointing sangria was great my roast pork was terrible. Rice was under cooked pork was tough and waiter was clingy I love the Columbia but wont go back on a weekday. Weekends are better.
Hannah WilliamsJuly 21, 2013The wait was long, it was loud, food wasn't super good, and they messed up out check.. Maybe they just can't handle Saturday night crowd, but I was not impressed..
Heather SumpterJuly 8, 2015Service was horrible when we were there food is just OK. The best thing is the flamenco show
Kevin KunzApril 11, 2013They say their salad is supposed to be one of the top 10. Maybe at a Vegas Buffett terrible.
renee uihleinNovember 4, 2010seafood dishes are better here, meats are good but sauces are mediocre..i.e., chimichurri..ok. white sangria is good!
Brent SarverJuly 28, 2011Largest Cuban restaurant in the world = slowest service. Arroz con pollo took twice the time promised and the waiter essentially blamed me for 4 of the other entrees being cold. Appalling.
Jillian AlcottJune 1, 2013Not so good anymore. Tapas sampler had dry tasteless food. The flatbread was a joke. Dinner for 2 - 100 dollars. Will not be going back.- Vanessa IshJuly 30, 2011Overpriced rice. Most locals know better. Crappy ingredients and most meals that involve rice such as paella.... Well all you get is food colored rice.
