This place was a review pick. It was a great choice. The facility was there for a while. Images from local officials and Boston sports heroes are on the wall. The food is why the restaurant has been there for a while. It is worth a visit when in Waltham, MA area. View all feedback.
What User doesn't like about El Oriental De Cuba:
Bread for the Cuban sandwich is terrible. Not a real baguette, but a soft bread that disturbs the good ingredients inside. It'll be soggy. I wanted to eat stuffed Yuca with meat. fried Yuca was given with onions. The flesh is not bad. Finally, a very mediocre restaurant. Could be very good with a little effort. View all feedback.
This hidden gem offers generous portions at great prices. The atmosphere reminds me of Cuba, and we absolutely loved it.
Great service. the personal was very warm for our group of 6. the food was delicious. beautiful concise menu.
I have ordered the Black Paella for takeout or delivery 9 times now, and it is one of only 2 dishes I have tried from this restaurant (the other being rice with cuttlefish, which was much less flavorful/exciting). Overall, my experience has been quite inconsistent, with some dishes being excellent while others are only average. One positive aspect is the abundance of seafood - I particularly enjoy the tender squid and perfectly cooked scallops. There are many delicious flavors when the dish is prepared correctly, and the ripe plantains are also a standout. However, there are some downsides to consider: 1) occasionally finding broken shells and grit in the dish (eating slowly is recommended), 2) the dish can be overly salty at times (personal preference can adjust), adding shredded salad and tomato helped balance this out, 3) the rice is sometimes overcooked, and 4) the taste can vary. Additionally, the staff I interacted with when picking up my order seemed a bit indifferent or dismissive. In conclusion, while I love the seafood in this dish, ordering it can be a bit of a gamble.
