Cuba's Cookin': Cuban Classics in Oranjestad
Havana circa 1959 is the mood at Cuba's Cookin', a Cuban and Caribbean restaurant in Oranjestad, Aruba. Live music and dancing set the tone, and art collected from across Cuba over 20 years fills the room. Vegan and gluten-free dishes are offered as well. The Table Desk can book your table.
The setting carries much of the evening at this restaurant. Art gathered across Cuba over two decades decorates the space, and live music and dancing keep the room moving.
The menu sticks closely to the Cuban classics. Ropa vieja is braised shredded skirt steak, and slow-roasted pork is cooked in sour orange. Garlic shrimp come with plantains and black beans. Chicken mofongo arrives with sweet mashed potato, and seafood is served in a Creole orange sauce. Vegetarian Habanera fried rice is on the menu too.
The Table Desk is an independent service and not the restaurant. You pay a flat $20 service fee online by PayPal or card, and you settle the meal at Cuba's Cookin'.
