You have to understand that my review comes from a Latino point of view and that I am an excellent cook. On the particular day that I visited Sabor Cuban, I just didn't want to cook so why not let someone else cook for me? \nI ordered the ropa vieja with moro rice and hubby ordered stewed ch.icken with white rice and black beans. We ordered green plaintains as a starter. When the plaintains came--there were 3 on a plate. Really, 3 plaintains is an order?? Come on guys, a whole plaintain costs 99cents and can yield 8 plaintains. Very Chintzy. My ropa vieja was tough and not flavorful. The moro nice was clearly made with converted rice (which is not so bad for a restaurant) but with real long grain rice this dish can be amazing. This was not--average at best. My husband's stewed chicken (one thigh) was described by him as just OK. By the way, the hot sauce and the water was great. I have been considering opening up a restaurant for latin food in Phoenix (not Mexican, Latino) because the food is really mediocre. I think I would blow them out of the water. I would like the opinion of Yelpers. Do we need a latin-caribbean restaurant in Phoenix?
