Mi Sueño Restaurant

Very nice weekend.
Always happy to try something different for Easter meal.
Very large portion tasty and well seasoned with vegetables.
Love it and I enjoyed.

I am in love with this restaurant.
We stopped in over the weekend for the first time while in town picking up our son.
The owner greeted us and walked us through his lunch recommendations.
We all went with the combo meals - picking the Ropa Vieja, Pork Fricase, and Chicken.
Each of us went with black beans and rice and then picked different sides (I am still thinking about those plantains and potatoes).
The portions were generous and EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS.
We were the only diners while there, but several folks came in for carryout.
I overheard another customer talking with the owner, professing their love for the food.
We will absolutely be back the next time we are in Louisville.
This place is a gem!

I was super excited to try this place out, but it ended up being very disappointing.
There aren't too, too many Cuban places in the area, so I gave it a try.
I ordered a ton of food: the yucca croquettes, yellow rice with vegetables, ropa viejo, and plantains, tres leches, and an empanada. The main dish (ropa vieja with vegetables, plantains, and yellow rice).
It was quite disappointing.
The rice seemed to be soaked full of butter and weirdly crunchy.
Plantains were okay, but a small portion.
The ropa vieja seemed to come almost in a tomato sauce.
The meat was okay quality and fine texture, but just not what I was looking for.
Weirdly sweet and not enough vegetables. The empanadas were some of the strangest I've had in a long time.
The outer shell was greasy, flaky, and hard.
The inside tasted a bit like canned meatballs with sauce.
Really weird flavor. The yucca croquettes were probably one of the best things I ordered from here.
And they weren't even correctly made, so that says a lot about this order.
Menu says the yucca is supposed to be stuffed with ground beef, but these were just yucca fries essentially.
They were still pretty good, had a nice earthy flavor and good crisp, but didn't match the menu description. The tres leches was once again very weird-tasting, artificial, and disappointing.
Lots of whipped cream on top.
Artificial strawberry flavor throughout.
The milk was watery and just not good at all. The greatest thing about this place is that the prices are super affordable for the most part.
However, the quality is just not that great.
I really can't recommend this place, although the prices are good.
Most of the food was just not good.
