Take an old Denver duplex, paint it in bright tropical colors, plant an iron palm tree in the front yard, and you have one of the hottest Cuban restaurants in town. Step into the cozy lounge area, slide up to one of the bongo-drum tables and order a pitcher of mojitos. Sample one of several ceviches, such as the shrimp and roasted tomato served with corn chips. You'll swear you have just transported yourself to Havana. The Cuban home-style ground beef with potatoes and raisins served over white rice and sweet plantains definitely captures the essence of that country's cooking. Dinner for two? Try the Paella Cuba Cuba, with market-fresh seafood, chicken and sofrito sautéed with saffron and Valencia rice. The new lunch menu features a variety of salads and entrées, as well as Cuban specialty sandwiches, ranging from Caribbean spiced tuna to roasted pork. Save room for the special tres leches or the Havana bananas. In the summer, Cuba Cuba has a great patio to enjoy the weather. Whether stopping in for a drink or staying to enjoy a tasty meal, Cuba Cuba is a sure thing for a fun night out.
