    I try to eat at Cuba Libre every time I come to D.C. It’s a great experience from the moment you walk in the door. I feel like I’ve been transported to the streets Havana whenever I’m at Cuba Libre, from the decor to the people, to the food. I can’t say enough good things about the food. You just have to try it.

    One of the best restaurants I have been to lately. The balance of flavors in all of their dishes is superb. Saltiness, acidity, spice… all create a beautiful harmony. The cod salad was out of this world. Would go again and again.

    I love the atmosphere at the park at 14th. The waitress Taya I believe was very polite, customer-service oriented, and friendly . The food is very good each time I go there especially the chicken tenders, fries, jerk wings, and the grilled jumbo shrimp with jalapeno cilantro vinaigrette with garlic bread for the first time. Overall, I enjoy the park when I come with my family or co-workers because the staff make you feel welcomed. My only suggestion is to be able to carry out your dessert if you not able to finish after eating.
