Cubata

<span style="font-weight: 400;">If you have yet to experience the sensual delicacy that is Cubata, allow us to put you on. The Spanish-Cuban tapas restaurant has stolen the hearts of many with their scrumptious bites and off-the-chain happy hour. While strolling through Little Havana’s boisterous Calle Ocho, snatch a seat outside at one of the colorfully tiled tables for some quintessential people-watching. Or, get ready to dance the night away while catching glimpses of the sorcerous mixologists craft special sips for your soul. Did we mention there’s live music on most nights? </span>
<br/><br/>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">On the menu, you’ll find the Spanish vino bar classics: cured meats like Jamon Serrano, rich cheeses like Manchego, and all the tapas your inner wanderer desires. Think crispy fried </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">croquetas</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">cod-stufffed piquillo peppers</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and the most tender </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">pulpo a la gallega</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Those looking for a heartier bite will find satisfaction in the sandwich options — the “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">A Lo Cubata</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">” Cuban sandwich is arguably the best in town. </span>
<br/><br/>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The crescendo here, however, is the happy hour that defies the very laws of pleasure. The drinks specials run daily from 4 to 8 p.m., stretch till 2 a.m. on Thursdays, and ignite an all-day fiesta on Saturdays. Diners get a 50% off all alcoholic beverages including the finest mojitos this side of Havana, fruity sangria, and an extensive selection of red wine. Step inside Cubata for a sizzling </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">soirée of flavors and rhythm that will make you never want to leave. </span>
