CUBAN CUSINE AND MORE


The Soul de Cuba Cafe concept is rooted in the idea of promoting and preserving Afro-Cuban culture through sharing traditional Cuban and African food and art. The concept begins in a cozy dining-room setting that incorporates Cuban memorabilia, family photos, and Afro-Cuban religious artwork displayed over soft, earth toned painted walls. The ambiance is enhanced by the infusion of Cuban Salsa, Boleros, and Son music as well as traditional Yoruba Rhythms and African and American Jazz.

Thank you for choosing to dine at Soul de Cuba Cafe. You should know that we prepare our meals using family recipes passed down through the generations. My father, William Jesus Puerto, my aunt, Martha Gomez Bacon, and my abuela, Louisa Gomez, have shared with me and my team the most sacred of our family's heritage: their cooking techniques and childhood stories surrounding the preparations of meals.

Here at Soul de Cuba Cafe, we also work eagerly to train our cooks in those same traditions, mindful of the importance of preservation of culture, tradition, and authenticity. We also encourage members of our kitchen teams to express their own creativity by creating more contemporary selections while keeping in mind the spirit of our Cuban heritage. Dine or cater with us and indulge in traditional favorites like Sopa de Frijoles Negros, Lechon Asado, Ropa Vieja, Fricase de Pollo, Rabo Encendido or Bistec Palomilla or try one of our contemporary dishes like our Soul de Cuba signature Black Bean Chili or our famous Pollo Moderno.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the sights, sounds, aromas and flavors at Soul de Cuba Cafe!
