Cuba Libre in Dallas – Tex–Mex-Jamaican adventure extraordinaire!

Share

It is perhaps not a surprise that Dallas should frequent some of the finest Latino, Mexican and Tex Mex restaurants on this side of the border with Mexico. What is gratifying however, is to find an establishment that innovates with nouvelle Tex-Mex fused with distinct Jamaican influences, with an elegant, happening ambiance to match and raises this to fine art! Marrying a vibrant and flamboyant ambiance with a great menu and mesmerizing presentation is a killer combination that Cuba Libre in downtown Dallas delivers with panache and elan.

What brings me back for more:

I love Mexican, Cuban and West Indian cuisine and to find an establishment that is eclectic enough to draw from all of these to deliver a sumptuous menu is indeed, fulfillment of my heart’s desires! Add an incredible ambiance, superb music and lots of beautiful people and you have a happening adventure that is worthy of exploration indeed!
