I know the one sharing the building on Hargett with Est Est Est is now closed.

I've eaten at Oakwood Cafe off New Bern a few times and its great for the price.

all cuban restaurants in NC suck ass (no homo). i went to the one in morrisville and the bartendar didn't even know the ingrediants for a mojito. she explained, "it's cuban owned and this is how they do it". the drink sucked. had no brown sugar, etc. i doubt they are true cubans. aside from that the food is eatable, but it's not like cuban food in south florida.

a real mojito does not use brown sugar. she was correct.

Thanks, I might try Oakwood, and keep my expectations low. Guess I will just have to make my own. I managed to find some recipes online, we'll see how they turn out.

I've eaten at Oakwood a few times and thought the food was great and very reasonable price. it's worth trying out.
