I recommend the Cuban Sandwich, the Cuban empanadas, the yuca fries, the Vaca Frita and the grilled chicken. The black beans, plantains, and tostones are great as well. The quality and flavor is there, and I think most of the menu is worth a try. The mango juice/smoothie is good too! Hidden gem, keep this place in business by all means!

I got the grilled chicken breast meal with the congri rice and beans and fried plantains. 10/10 for sure and will be back. The service was great and our waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable of food options and recommended the tres leches cake for dessert but it was out so will be back to try it. This place is great for a lunch or dinner date, solo date, or family dining.

We chose Solera Bar & Tasting Room for the last BR restaurant week, in 2024. It was phenomenal. I…read morechose to have the wine pairing with my meal, and my partner had the margarita. Both good choices. Overall, the wine pairing was okay. I like the appetizer pairing of a nice light, white bubbly prosecco. The second was a classic red wine to pair with a steak. The last wine is where I was not impressed. It was a dessert wine that had a smell similar to a distilled whiskey. I took a sip and decided I rather another glass of prosecco. Shout out to the server who was accommodating and swapped out that glass for what I requested. He didn't have to, but he did! The food was mouth watering delicious. We started off with the sauteed shrimp and the piquillo peppers. THANK GOD the piquillo peppers are a Solera regular. I will be getting them again. The shrimp were just okay, nothing out of this world. Second course was the filet with polenta. It was absolutely delicious and packed with flavors that complimented each other well. Final course we had the rum bread pudding and the manchego cheesecake. The manchego cheese is definitely a rich and an acquiring flavor. Without the blueberry sauce, you would think its just a slab of cheese. The rum bread pudding was spectacular. I have never loved a rum sauce with my bread pudding, but the Solera one kept me wanting more. Overall and enjoyable experience, with a couple minor foods that lack the razzle dazzle of a 5 star review.

BullFish Bistro - Baton Rouge…read more I had an amazing experience at BullFish Bistro in Baton Rouge! I ordered the lamb chops with mashed potatoes and spinach, and everything was perfection. The lamb chops were tender, flavorful, and cooked exactly how I like them. The mashed potatoes were creamy and seasoned just right, and the spinach added the perfect fresh balance to the plate. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere made the meal feel even more special. If you're looking for a spot with delicious food and great vibes, I definitely recommend giving BullFish Bistro a try. I'll absolutely be back!

The service has always been spot on which makes me return on a consistent basis. The food is always FRESH and made to order so don't worry about getting old cold food. The decor makes you feel as though you are on the island getaway without leaving home. The bar produces so of the most beautiful drinks and they taste great. My favorites are the lamb chops that are cooked to perfection and the beef oxtails. When it comes to appetizers honey pepper chicken bites and the beef patties always call my name. The chef and and his family are loving and very inviting as if they invited you to their home for a delicious meal. I will return and hope to work my way through trying the entire menu.

I do not have anything to compare this--if next time I am given different selections of cuisine I…read moremight very well choose something else, however that's a reflection on my palate and not the establishment. My visit here was a lunch visit, arriving shortly after 11:30 am---even so it was the lunch rush and almost all of the tables were filled. That must be typical because the restaurant's staff was more than ready to accomodate my table and all others there---food was ordered and it was served quick. Between the 3 of us we order plates /combos of food which would be an entree (chicken or beef) with rice and beans. Also, some orders come with a small cup of soup which was tasty but not greasy. Overall, I finished my plate and was not hungry 1 but that afternoon so I will say portions are plentiful. Because of time, we did not try any desserts.

When my husband went up to order, he tried pointing at the menu (since it's large and easier that way), but the person wasn't accepting. He was only doing that to avoid mispronouncing anything, especially after I had just been corrected somewhat abruptly on pronunciation when I asked about an item. It made the interaction feel a bit uncomfortable. We went around 2-3, thinking it might be a quieter time since we were coming in with an infant (which is new for us), but it actually started getting pretty busy. They do have some baby/car seat accommodations, which was helpful, but the dining area itself isn't very spacious; there wasn't much room for a stroller. Overall, the food was great, and we'd still return if we were in the area again to try more items, but the customer service and space could definitely use some improvement.

You know how it goes... you live somewhere and keep meaning to try a place and suddenly it's like 8 years later and here we are. Exquisite everything... atmosphere, service, cocktails and food. Aperitivo-style dinners (aka girl dinners?) are my favorite. I love a good grazing. We had the seasoned chickpeas which are fried and crunchy but not dry like baked or dried chickpeas. These are the irresistible kind, the melt-in-your-mouth with salty umami goodness kind. The saltines that come with the black bean hummus are seasoned in the same way, fried, I suspect, but I'm not mad about that. I really couldn't stop eating these and don't get me started on the perfect fries. Drinks, ah the drinks. As much as I wanted one of those frozens, with dropping temps outside, I went for a gorgeous Flor de Jamaica. Think citrus-forward, not heavily boozy (vodka). I followed up with the Mary Pickford, which has pineapple juice and normally I would fear for an overly sweet drink but this is not that. It's more on the tangy/sour side of the spectrum. Both drinks are perfectly light and refreshing. It all felt like the indulgence I needed after a frigid week. After dining upstairs, which makes you feel like you're in a chic loft space, we peeked into the courtyard. I cannot wait to return and pretend that I'm in Havana, sipping on an expertly-crafted frozen drink. It really doesn't get any better than this.

Real cloth napkins and nice heavy silverware were another nice touch. Hard to find those any more, even in upscale restaurants. My food was fresh and very well made. I had the Baleadas La Express Supreme breakfast which was two big breakfast tacos with steak, egg, cheese, avocado, crema, etc. Very filling, stick-to-your-ribs kind of food. The flour tortillas were thick and flaky. The rest of the ingredients were excellent as well. I wanted to get some plantains (I love plantains!) but I was too full to eat another bite. The servers and staff were friendly. My coffee cup never got empty. My food came out quickly. It was a little pricey for a breakfast, but it was worth it for the excellent food and the cultural experience with it. No complaints at all. Highly recommended. I will surely be coming back to try some of the other items on the menu.
