Escudo de Cuba

After looking around for a nice Cuban bar and restaurant, I decided to take my family here to celebrate our anniversary. We don't live locally to here so I hadn't heard of it (even before they moved to Dalston) but chose after looking at the positive Google reviews. This place did not disappoint! I had booked a table for early afternoon so it was fairly empty. I'm not sure how busy it gets in the evening (very busy, I suspect!). The friendly staff got us seated and provided menus and we waited for about 5-10 minutes to have our order taken. We ordered a couple of cocktails, a plate of nachos to share between 3 of us to start, 2 mains and some tapas. The food tasted very fresh and as you can see from the photos you get a sizable portion. The chicken skewers and lamb skewers tapas were tender and the rice and black beans were well seasoned. A couple more cocktails and a couple of Tequila shots (including some lime juice for my son so he could take part) to finish with and I can safely say we'll be back again soon to try some of the other dishes.
