Finally something that tastes good!

Went to Alma de Cuba for the second time and was not dissapointed.

As a Caribbeanite, I am always dissapointed when it comes to Latino or Caribbean food but Alma’s was the opposite. The plantains were awesome and food very good, well seasoned and good portions. Drinks were awesome.

The only thing that I wished was the entree’s automatically come with sides, i.e. Salmon with plantains and white rice….you have to purchase those seperate.

Otherwise, kudos!!

What I ate:
  • *****
    Honey Cilantro Salmon and Plantains

    Taste good and very filling, will go back again!
