    We tried quite a few things on the menu. Will definitely go back when there's a chance. We'll need to try more and different items. Red sangria was outstanding too!

    My first visit to Vicente’s did not disappoint. From the moment we entered until the time we left I enjoyed myself. We had Abraham as our waiter and he was phenomenal. Abraham shared his favorite appetizers,drinks, entrees as well as desserts. He was precise, friendly efficient. He made sure we kept our glasses filled and that the food was delicious. They also offer Salsa lessons and the instructor had top notch energy. He encouraged and supported all guest to give it a try. It’s safe to say I’ll be back here.

    Had this on our radar for some time now and finally made it in. One member of our party got stuck in traffic and was running behind, so we really didn't start until well after our reservation time, but thankfully our server was extremely understanding. When we finally got around to ordering, it was a case of hard choices as everything sounded incredible. Ultimately decided on multiple tapas which were just perfect. Looking forward to a return trip very soon.

    The food was excellent. I went to the restaurant the night before and then ordered it again on DoorDash. I strongly recommend the Empanadas de Pollo (Chicken Empanadas), plantains, and the Pollo Limon. I STRONGLY recommend you go into the restaurant and order the steak with chimichurri sauce. This is my first time trying Cuban food. I'm very glad I did. I wish I took more photos but, I couldn’t put my fork down! The service was great. He was very attentive and accommodating. Like I said, I never tried Cuban food. He answered all of our questions and was patient. It was very clean. The decor and ambiance were nice and welcoming. We made a reservation for four. I will be back bringing my Connoisseur Club!

    Our group visited Vicente's for a birthday bash and we were delighted by the whole experience! The dishes not only tasted great but were also beautifully presented. Our waiter was wonderfully attentive, ensuring our needs were promptly met. It had been some time since my last visit to Vicente's, but I was genuinely impressed by its spotless environment, chic decor, and vibrant atmosphere. We're already excited about returning for salsa classes and more dancing! It was also refreshing to see a few plant-based and vegetarian options on the menu. We'd love to see even more variety in this area, especially some plant-based dessert options alongside the traditional ones.

    This place is amazing! My server Paulina was super nice and helpful! The drinks were great and the food was amazing. So cheap for food of such amazing quality, I will definitely be back! Also I noticed they had quite a few gluten free menu items!

    We really enjoyed our dinner here on the patio outside with our dog. We just moved to the area and this is actually the first restaurant we ate at! We ordered the arroz con pollo and the ropa vieja. The ropa vieja was SO good, flavorful, and filling. We also ordered 2 cocktails and they were delicious, as well. Apparently, they have salsa dancing inside the restaurant in the evenings. We will definitely be back!
