Cuban Restaurants in Boise, ID

“I've been going here since they opened and their staff is always so welcoming and genuinely happy to see you everytime. If we have friends or family come into town this is our automatic first place to bring them for dinner. I don't say this lightly but their food has the best flavor in town! A few years back I went to Ft. Lauderdale (N. Miami) and looked up their #1 Cuban restaurant so that I could compare. Not only is Casablanca's flavor better than I had there, the serving size was smaller (with a similar presentation and plating) and costs 3-4x what I pay here in town. I feel so blessed to have them just down the street from me. You must try the Masitas de Puerco Fritas, it literally melts in your mouth. I give it an 11/10 experience and that's Real! - Chris Kelly“

“Adelfa’s Comida Cubana - Authentic Cuban Cuisine ⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re looking for Cuban food, be sure to check out Chef Noel Argote- Herrera’s Boise-based mobile kitchen. He often does pop-ups near his home, on the corner of Bella and 15th in Boise, but he frequents other locations as well.  To keep track of his whereabouts, Like and Follow his Facebook page. This Saturday, he will be at the Boise Farmer’s Market. Born in Havana, Cuba, raised in Miami Beach, Florida, and Los Angeles, California, some of Chef Noel’s earliest and best memories are of spending time in the kitchen, watching his mother cook. When he started his mobile kitchen in 2018, he named it after his mother. Chef Noel is passionate about his Cuban heritage. The day I visited, he served me while dancing to Cuban music, and sharing stories from his childhood. These photos are from my visit in July 2020. Chef Noel was out of salad, but I ordered everything else on the menu. I tried the Cuban Paella served with Plantains and Rice (10), and the Guava Pastry ($3). This was my first time trying Cuban paella, which has a different flavor profile than Spanish paella. It was a bit bland for my taste. I liked the plantains and rice, but I would have liked it better if I hadn’t also been eating a rice-based entrée. I enjoyed the freshly baked guava pastry.  Chef Noel serves a number of traditional Cuban dishes. I’m looking forward to trying his Ropa Vieja, Pernil, Picadillo, Lechon, and Flan. Recommended! — at Adelfa's Comida Cubana.“
