If you like neighborhood-style Cuban cuisine, you won't be disappointed here. This mom-and-pop restaurant serves large portions of traditional Cuban fare, such as arroz con pollo (chicken with yellow rice), ropa vieja (shredded beef), and, if you call a few hours or a day in advance, paella (fish and shellfish served on a bed of rice). We also recommend Rolando's roast chicken, which is brushed with crushed garlic, white-wine vinegar, cumin, and oregano, then briefly deep-fried. Entrees are served with yucca (a chewy root) or plantains (a cooked banana-like fruit). The plain dining room has Formica tables, old photographs of Cuba, and potted philodendrons suspended from the ceiling. Soft lighting adds a smidgen of ambience, and there's a very limited beer and wine list.
