Bella Cuba Restaurant - Santa Ana (CA)

4 /5 Raymond Basile: Bella Cuba has improved over the past year. The Beef Empanadas and Yuca Con Mojo are a must try. I have had both the Roasted Garlic Chicken and the Fricase de Pollo. I prefer the Fricase served with potatoes. The meat falls off the bone. I also recommend the Morros with your meal. The portions here are a generous size and super filling. They served me Tres Leches Cake for my birthday. Joel is a super host.

3 /5 Harry: Tried the chicken empanada and yuca dip combo — the empanada tasted more like a frozen one and wasn’t great. The garlic chicken with black beans, however, was delicious and flavorful. They also serve complimentary garlic bread, which was a nice touch. Service was quick, and there’s ample free parking available. Overall, a mixed experience but worth it for the main entrée.

3 /5 Michael M: Over all it was a great experience eating there. I have been to a few better Cuban restaurants to compare to. I couldn’t tell you one dish that stood out here. Great service and relaxed atmosphere. A lot of food so bring your appetite.

5 /5 Cesar: This is a little gem if you like Spanish food, my kids are very picky when it comes to eating rice and beans, they ate the rice, beans and kitchen, had steak chop with fried plantains, and the service was amazing.

1 /5 Mario Hamwi: Had the fried salmon fish and couldnt be made any worse. Heavy breaded and dried. Couldnt even see any meat in it. Felt like eating deep fried crackers. Priced in the $40 dollars is a waste of money to be honest.
