South Congress, Austin · restaurant
Thatch-roof cabanas and dense tropical greenery turn the patio into a full Caribbean escape, especially once the mojitos start landing. The lechón asado slow-roasts until it collapses into a pressed Cubano layered with ham, Swiss, and pickles, while ropa vieja and garlicky yuca frita keep the rest of the menu grounded in family-style Cuban cooking. Order cigars for the back cabana if you want to do the night correctly.
Happy hour runs Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
