Vicente's Cuban Cuisine, Detroit, MI


A unique restaurant to Detroit, Vicente's is one of the few Cuban restaurants in the area, but most certainly the best. The menu offers traditional Cuban dishes that include tapas, seafood, pork, and meat. One of their most recommended entrees is their ropa vieja, "old clothes." The dish includes thinly shredded beef that is perfectly seasoned with wine, tomato sauce, and other vegetables. It is served with a bed of rice and some plantains. Their paellas also come highly recommended, but only for those willing to wait because they do take longer to prepare than most dishes. They have four paellas that each have a unique assortment of seafood and vegetables. Vicente's menu has a long list of tapas that range from containing seafood to escargot.
On any given Friday or Saturday night, you will Vicente's to be packed and alive with music and dancing. On both nights, a live DJ performs and at 9:30 sharp on Friday and Saturday nights, salsa dancing lessons are given to any and all willing to participate.
The fare at Vicente's is higher than other local Cuban restaurants, but it far surpasses the others with its authentic Cuban atmosphere and authentic Cuban cuisine.
