My second time visiting. Service was great! The watermelon mojito was excellent! I got the pork and my son got the sea bass. Both so flavorful and excellent! Do yourself a favor and try it!

This is one of my favorite stops in Slidell. I get the fried pork chops... phew. Fire. Their plantains are out of this world and their black beans?! Would be hard to replicate.Super authentic, great vibes, great service.Must stop in if you're passing through.

I was looking for a lunch spot on a Saturday and decided to try Que Rico. We were quickly seated and the server was very attentive. I ordered the Lechon Asado (add a fried egg) and it tasted okay. The other guest had the Palomilla Cuban Steak. The steak was a bit overcooked unfortunately. The serving sizes were pretty large and I had enough to eat later. We shared an order of the Garlic Buttered Cuban Bread. It was a large portion also but didn't really taste that great. My Mojito Mocktail had bad mint leaves in it so that was disappointing. If I'm ever in the area, I'd probably pick up the Lechon Asado to go. I just wouldn't go out of the way to eat there.

Que Rico Cuban Cafe has been serving the Slidell area for many years! Historically they were located by a coin-operated laundry in Old Downtown. I ate there many times over the years, so I was glad to see they had reopened west of town. They are in a strip mall with lots of parking. The interior space is open and has plenty of seating. The wait staff is prompt and attentive. It's a great place to enjoy Cuban Cuisine!What is good about Cuban Cuisine? Lots of things! One aspect of Cuban food that is great to try are the plantains! These banana-like fruit are both starchy and sweet depending on their state of ripeness. The riper they are the sweeter they are. These are served both ways in the Havana Sampler, along with some yucca frites and ham croquets. This is a great appetizer to try! Moving on to entrees, there are chicken, beef, and stews that are all excellent. These tend to be cooked down to an extremely tender state. Sides often include rice and beans. Cuban Cuisine relies on black beans as their primary legume. These are spicy and great, but not too spicy.Another great Cuban food to try is their sandwiches! One of these that's popular is the Midnight Sandwich. This is reportedly popular for late night meals in Cuba, but is enjoyable at any time! Another great pork-based sandwich is the Cubano! Cuban sandwiches tend to be pressed, and made with great bread that is crispy on the outside but rich and chewy on the inside.Some other Cuban things to try are Cuban coffee and dessert. For the latter, don't miss the Flan which is a great caramel-covered custard.

First of all, as soon as you enter the place you feel like you are in the best place, the music and atmosphere is so great. Then the service is so spectacular. Very attentive and gives wonderful recommendations. Had the cubano sandwich with sweet plantains and it was delicious. And then the churros were so scrumptious. Will definitely be back!!

So good! Was hard to choose but Donna steered us straight and we had great black bean Bowl with pork and I added a seasoned fried egg. Nice people cooking fresh tasty meals in an open high ceiling space with lovely art and a loop of Havana playing on a super Hi-Def 4K screen. Please stop in and enjoy the great food and wonderful hospitality!

Amazing food and atmosphere! Wish I knew it was here sooner. We had the Mojo chicken and the Cuban steak which both had so much flavor. Great bartenders and music as well. Will definitely be back

The ambiance and service was good. My Cuban sandwich was very tasty and hot. The lavender lemon drop was spot on.
