Sabor de Cuba

Wife and I were looking for Ropa Vieja and did find it here at Sabor de Cuba. The food is quite good from a flavor standpoint but as you can see from the photos the presentation is very drab. Brown food abounds, not a shred of color. This meal could use more visual differentiation to increase overall appeal. The cocktails were great. No complaints there. Service was good, wait staff were friendly and attentive. Atmosphere was maybe a little spare but not unappealing. Overall, food quality and dining experience were fine, but not overly memorable. Solid, could be elevated with some tweaks to the menu.

Best Cuban sandwich ever! Wonderful service and very friendly staff. Thank you

Ordered takeout. An item was accidentally left out. I called them back and not only did they make it right, they added a dessert at no charge. When I came back to pick it up, they were very kind and apologetic. Food is consistently amazing and perfectly seasoned/flavored.

Place was nice! The food was hit/miss/mid. The staff is incredible and our server was just a doll! The drinks were impeccable (if you like them strong). Overall, it was a good experience.

we ordered..we ate...we had a good time! Parking: didn't look

Love this place. Awesome Cuban coffee ☕️. It's so hard to find in the DMV. Staff friendly and helpful. Go! Try some great Cuban food today!

our server was the Best! let me have a fork!

A Bump in the Road at a Beloved Frederick Eatery Sabor de Cuba has always been a beacon of culinary delight in Frederick, MD, and it holds a special place in my heart. Having moved away from Maryland a few years ago, my visits back are incomplete without a meal at this cherished spot. It's a tradition I've relished during my sporadic visits each year. However, my most recent experience was a departure from the high standards I've come to expect, although it's important to note that it seems to have been an isolated incident. On a weary journey from Boston to Frederick, the anticipation of indulging in my favorite dishes at Sabor de Cuba was a comforting thought. Unfortunately, the reality did not match my expectations this time. My food arrived lukewarm, and my drink was notably delayed, taking about 25 minutes to be served. This was particularly disheartening given my exhaustion and hunger after a long day's drive. My companions—my husband and mother—had no issues with their meals, which highlights the inconsistency of my experience. The response from the management was prompt and considerate. My meal was taken back with assurances of a fresh order being prepared. Yet, the timing was off, and by the time my meal was nearly ready, my dining companions had finished theirs. Opting for practicality, I requested my dinner to go. The manager graciously removed the drink from our bill, an acknowledgment of the service mishap. Despite the disappointment and the frustration that marred this particular visit, my regard for Sabor de Cuba remains unshaken. The manager's actions to rectify the situation were appreciated, though the experience left me disheartened. I gave my to-go order to my mother, sparing myself the hassle of reheating hotel food. It's crucial to emphasize that this incident appears to be a rare misstep in an otherwise flawless record. My years of patronage have been filled with countless delightful meals and memories at Sabor de Cuba. This experience, albeit frustrating, does not overshadow the many positive ones. The food is still exceptional, and I look forward to many more meals here in the future.
