The Buzz column in today’s Herald Sun notes that a new Cuban restaurant in Durham will open tomorrow – Gregoria’s Kitchen at 2818 Chapel Hill Road (in the location long occupied by The Peddler steakhouse) – http://www.gregoriaskitchen.com

I vouch for Carmen’s Cuban Cafe in Morrisville and will add the suggestion of Havana Grill in Cary. Here’s a link to a really cool article about Carmen’s from a few years ago:

Do not despair, there are more choices! Try the Old Havana Sandwich Shop at 310 East Main St. in downtown Durham and Carmen’s Cuban Cafe near the Morrisville Outlet Mall (take I-40 east to exit 284A, turn right on Airport Blvd and make the first right, the restaurant is on the right in about 0.2 miles.

I was excited to find a Cuban Restaurant here in Durham after moving up here from Miami two years ago. I asked my local friends about it and they all said the same thing. The food was awful and overpriced. I had to check it out for myself. I walked in saw the enormous pictures of Che and Fidel and turned right back out. What sick communist would hang these pictures of murderers in a Cuban Restaurant? I’m Cuban and those two animals do not represent me or my people. I went online and looked at the menu, there was nothing authentic on it. And when I looked for an icon to contact them, the coward who owns this place has no such icon.

Out of respect for my parents, I will never step foot in there again, too bad, the location is ideal and after reading several reviews about how terrible the food and service is I can only imagine the owner has a lot of money to throw away. What a waste. I guess when I want good Cuban Food, I’m gonna have to make it myself.

Wow, complaining about a restaurant getting a 97 on a sanitation report is rather petty and hysterical even for the most petty and hysterical of foodies (and we all know the type).

Having said that I’ve eaten at Cuban Revolution only once and disliked the food enough to not want to go back. I’ve heard their tapas menu is better, but…meh.

Why would anyone eat here? Obviously, they have something going for them, like location, because they have been open for a while. But that doesn’t forgive the fact that in a town of great food, they are at the very bottom of in terms of creativity and local sustainable ingredients. Have you seen their sanitation score? 97, which is really an 95. Toxic chemicals found unlabeled? Sanitizer not at the proper levels? Eat here at your own risk

The food is decent, but it’s not even in the realm of authentic Cuban food. The Cuban Sandwich shop in the Northgate food court has much more authentic food (and cheaper).

Well, at least it’s vacuum-sealed to prevent oxidation and preserve freshness.
