El Pub Restaurant - Little Havana

A long-standing staple on famed Calle Ocho in Little Havana, El Pub opened in 1966 and was rebuilt in 1995. The menu features authentic Cuban cuisine with specials including ropa vieja, arroz con pollo, black beans and rice, picadillo criollo and flan. A cortadito makes a perfect after-dinner coffee. A colorful rooster sculpture greets you at the restaurant's entrance. We enjoyed both a beef empanada with a picadillo filling and the coffee. I must confess that, although not being a coffee drinker, I’m enjoying the Cuban coffee. Must be the sugar. :-) Brian says it’s a “gateway” coffee.
