    Everything about the experience was disappointing. It took quite a while to get a server to come over and take our order even though it wasn’t very busy. When we asked for recommendations the server seemed annoyed. The chicken was dried out and the beef was chewy. The music was blaring even though the restaurant was mostly empty. It seemed like the staff was annoyed to have us there even though our reservation was for 7:30. A full hour before their last available reservation.

    Outstanding food. Fresh, healthy, and good portions. Great option when you tire of or are looking to avoid the 3rd and 5th avenue schtick.

    Second time dining at Van Van Cuban. We were excited return as our first experience there 1 year ago was great. This time everything was a huge disappointment. They no longer have Mariquitas on the menu which was a main reason we went and a Cuban Restaurant staple. Kitchen made them for us but served them with terrible sauces, a creamy overly garlic sauce and a cheese sauce, both awful. No traditional garlicky Mojo sauce! The Pollo Chimichurri was very oily. The Vaca Frita was just okay. The black beans and yellow rice were both devoid of any flavor, very bland, tasteless. And the pressed Cuban bread was horrible. Who messes up the bread?! It was rock hard, dense, dry, and had a burnt oily taste when it should have had a buttery taste and crunchy on the outside soft on the inside. Bad bread alone ruined the meal and when you add in all the rest it’s a never again restaurant. I’m guessing they get a lot of tourists who maybe don’t know what good Cuban food should taste like. Unfortunately, the chef at this restaurant doesn’t know how to cook good Cuban food. Bummer, but save your money and eat elsewhere.
