Amor Cubano Restaurant Review: Is it a restaurant or a nightclub? At first glance, after spotting the hostess dancing with anyone within earshot, it’s a club. But sit down and tuck into some classic Cuban dishes and you’ll see it’s more a restaurant. The usual suspects are here, including a garlicky ropa vieja and sides of fried yucca and plantains, but there are some uncommon selections too. Don’t miss the tender lechon asado, “marinated in love” and bolstered by a bitter orange mojo, or the vaca frita, a shredded beef dish paired with a piquant marinade. Also impressive are several of the appetizers, especially the hearty garbanzos fritos---chickpeas crisped with smoked ham and bacon. It’s safe to skip dessert in favor of one of the just-as-sweet cocktails, including five styles of mojito. Amor Cubano isn’t the most innovative place for a meal, but with attentive service and a lively atmosphere, it’s the right kind of place for a Friday night on the town.
