Cuba Cuba Cuba. I live for Cuba, though I have never been. It's just one of those places that a) I know I will love b) Have had a somewhat spiritual connection to for the past 10yrs or so now. Apparently, as I have been told about 25 times, I dance like a Cubana. This idea excites me, no THRILLS ME. I'm ready to make a trip now, but since I can't, I opted today to try a slice of Cuba on my own little island with a friend of mine. Dressed in all white, with a Cuban-inspired hat, I am off to the restaurant, Qubano.
Qubano is located in the centro just off of the main drag Avenida Hidalgo. Colorful with cute accents, Vivian has found a nice home for her delectable cuban treats. The caribbean air is filled with Cuban-style rhythms and passerby-ers yell an hola from the street to Vivian who is busy in the back kitchen making her daily delights. After a few minutes, a cold melon drink is brought to my table and our food follows shortly after. I had a vegetarian salad and J had both a salad and sandwich. The dressing was light but very tasty and the star of the salad was the homemade breaded goat cheese. J liked his sandwich very much, I wish I could have tried it because it looked very good.
Vivian also mentioned that on Fridays she makes a special dish. She said you can't miss it!
If you are on Isla Mujeres and in the need of some good grub, check out Qubano!

I have heard many good things about this restaurant--can't wait to get back & try it!
Qubano is DELICIOUS!! I love her fruit waters and Vivian is a sweetheart. She let my son come into her kitchen to watch her prepare her Friday special. She even told him what her secret ingredients were.
Glad u like Qubano lagovistajenn:)
