I had been wanting to try this place for a little while! And now I can't wait to go back! So delicious and hefty portions, I got 3 meals out of my dish! The plantains and congri are especially yummy:) The service was a plus also! Will be back soon!

Got the barcoa sandwich and plantains and cafe con leche. Everything was very good and authentic

Our family and friends enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Baracoa last night. The food is incredible, I highly recommend the empanadas, ceviche and ox tail. Each dish was full of flavor and the service was top notch. The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and modern. We brought our kids and felt comfortable, but I can see this as a wonderful date night spot for many. They have a cool bar, and patio which makes it feel young and classy. Do not leave without trying the flan!! scrumptious and best I've EVER had.

This was the best dining experience that I've had in the AV. I came here on a Saturday night in a party of 2 and was immediately seated. The dimly lit room, art, real candles gave the whole place good vibes. Our server helped walk us through the menu and even checked in on me when I looked dead due to being dehydrated from a long road trip. We ended up ordering yuca frita and papas rellenas for our appetizers and then ropa veija with congri (Cuban rice and beans) for the main entree. Our apps came in after ten minutes. The papas came with their rico sauce which was pretty good and tangy. The papas had pickled onions and the yuca had pickled cabbage. The yuca tasted like a giant french fry. The papas were super crispy on the outside and had a mashed potato like filling (but better tasting). Both of these appetizers were awesome but if I had to choose between the two I'd go for the papas. The ropa vieja came another 15 minutes after our appetizers and it is absolutely humongous. They gave mojo sauce to pour onto the congri and it also had pickled onions and plantains. There was a bay leaf in my rice that was a bit annoying but not a big issue at all. The meat was super tender and juicy. The plantains were soft but also firm and sweet. The bell peppers literally melted in the mouth. This was a really satisfying dish and was so big that I had to take some of it home as leftovers. This was an all around fantastic dining experience. If anybody says that there isn't any good food in Palmdale please invite them to eat here so they can change their mind.

First time here, we were bored from always same restaurants...so we tried....and we really LOVE IT...!!! Place is small, feels like a family dinner, service is excellent... all associates attentive and very friendly. Music and ambience is great. Food is awesome... best Cuban food since I was in Yucatán, ropa vieja, lechón asado, plátanos fritos, frijoles, rice... and the drinks are amazing. I cannot say how delicious was the guava cheesecake empanada, just epic. Everything was delicious...!!! Thx..!! We will be back for more..!!! Can't wait to recommend it to family and friends...!!!

This business has a nice cozy feel for dinner. The staff greets you upon entering. The server immediately took our drink order and gave us a moment to decide on food. Once taking our order we waited about 10-15 minutes for our food. Once our food got to our table the server no longer came to check on us until it was time for the bill. PS- Bring cash as they charge a credit card fee. Ropa Vieja Plate- 8/10 The beef meat tasted a bit sweet. I did like the fact that this plate came with a few pieces of platanos fritos. I wanted to try congri with my food but, when my plate was brought to my table it was a simple rice and beans instead of the congri. Cuban Sandwich- 9/10 Great flavor and I like that you can get a choose your side (platanos fritos)with the sandwich. Mojo Fries- 8/10 This has a lot of garlic but I wish the mojo taste was more present. Jupina- 10/10 If you like pineapple soda this is a must. Marilem's Flan- 10/10 Very rich and smooth. The portion was good enough to split with 3 people.

Searched best food in Palmdale while there for work and this came up. Incredibly good food! I had the Bistec de Pollo and it was the best grilled chicken I've ever had. The rice and beans were amazing and the tostones were perfection after I added a bit of salt. I'm not a huge fan on plantains but their's were really good. I had a chilled coffee drink recommended by the our waitress, and it was dynamite, too. I took off one star because it was hot as sin inside the restaurant. Apparently, the AC was out and it was near unbearable. Our waitress was super sweet though, and very knowledgeable about the menu.
