FODOR’S POCKET ARUBA
3rd edition 2005

Cuba’s Cookin’. Locals (restaurateurs among them) agree that the food here is “authentic ethnic.“ When you enter this old cunucu, head straight for the bar to order a mojito, a tasty mixture of light rum, sugar, mint, and soda. Afterward you an unwind in the art-filled dining room before digging into truly Cuban dish such as ropa vieja, which, translated literally, means “old clothes.” It’s actually a sautéed skirt steak done to perfection. There’s live music nightly at this restaurant, which participates in AGA’s dine-around program. Wilhelminastraat 27, Oranjestad, tel. 297/588-0627, www.cubascookin.com. AE, MC,V.
