Message: | Actually, IMO, I think all the Versailles chains are over hyped, serve terrible food, are a lousy value, and have some of the worse value ever. I don't even care for the Versailles in Miami either. As such, I would be hesitant to use them as a benchmark for comparison, and I'm not at all suprised you managed to find something better.
By the way, have you tried other Cuban restaurants in town? Again, this is just my opinion, but I think El Floridita in Hollywood have the best overall Cuban food so far, with a very extensive menu. Ricon Criollo in Culver City probably have the best Cuban garlic fried chicken, shredded garlic pork, and the best sweet plantains. I also love their chicken soup. Another favorite of mine is Havana on Sunset, who make a killer Chicken Fricasse, and cornmeal pudding. Albeit I didn't care for their other stuff.
There's also La Cubana in Pasedena, which I haven't tried yet, but is rumored to be worth trying.
I will be sure to try out your recommendation in the near future! I hope perhaps you will give some of the restaurants I mentioned a try also, if you haven't yet checked them out already. |
