KUBA8 – Japanese
Kuba 8 opens early on Southwest 8th Street and takes breakfast as seriously as dinner — cafe cubano al chocolate, pan con jamon y queso built on serrano and chorizo, then a midday board of ropa vieja in creole sauce with white rice and sweet plantains, and churrasco cubano over malanga puree with roasted asparagus. Mojitos and daiquiris arrive once the afternoon turns. The room mixes traditional Cuban touches with something more modern, and diners keep singling out the warmth and speed of the service alongside the tostones. Calle Ocho Cuban, done with care.
