The menu at Escudo de Cuba brims with authentic Cuban flavors, boasting dishes such as the wonderfully smoky ropa vieja and the generously portioned King Burrito. This venue is enlivened by its retro Latin American decor and energetic Cuban melodies, offering a transportive dining experience removed from the typical metropolitan bustle. Tapas options are plentiful and flavorful, making it a perfect spot to sample multiple delights in one visit. The highlight for cocktail enthusiasts is undoubtedly Happy Hour, where artfully prepared cocktails like the Hemingway special and ginger basil mojito come to life. However, the service, while generally amiable, tends to falter under pressure during peak hours, affecting both the pace and attentiveness. Those planning to visit might find a mid-week reservation optimal for soaking in the vibrant atmosphere without the rush.
