Rice & Bean

Not sure why reviews are so good. My experience was not good. Went here based on a reddit recommendation for great food in cypress, and I now question all reddit reviews. First, I had to send the tea back because it tasted "dirty," almost like they used bad water or a dirty machine. Second, one of the butter packets came open, and the bread was like a hot dog bun. I ordered the Mahi mahi and it was pretty bland. My wife got the steak and it was "the worst steak she ever had." I tasted it and it was super rubbery. Last, the napkin was a Klennex. yes, a Kleenex. The shrimp was pretty good but overall just disappointed. We won't be back.

Ropa Vieja is SO GOOD! I love this place. I definitely recommend if you're looking for some great authentic Cuban food!

Pork Chunk heaven. Although pricey, it's worth grabbing when I'm in the area. In all fairness I really haven't tried anything else.

This an excellent place to experience Cuban Food. It is family-owned and operated. The food is prepared when you order and hot when you get it.My favor is Pechuga a la Plancha. (pan chicken ) It comes with Black beans and sweet plantains. The service is excellent and friendly. If you like for a suggestion, the waiter will tell you what you need to consider. This is like going back home.

It was very disappointing. I've eaten at this place some years back. A friend of mine, took me there for their paella so we have some very close friends that we go to different restaurants on the weekends, trying different foods. We are all in the mood for paella. So I called made reservations and a problem was that was for the answer the phone that didn't speak good English, and had to wait for someone else to answer the phone to take her reservations and set us up for a dinner, we arrived and the girls got the pork and my wife got the sandwich and we got an appetizer which the plantains were great. My wife shared a sandwich and apparently no one really liked it. Then the paella came so everybody got a dish I was so disappointed in that the rice was gummy, the shrimp were overcooked the muscles were OK but I found that no one really ate them. The fish was good in there. You have to get drinks out of the refrigerator and you buy them per item which is it seems like that's the one thing. I would have to say that I would probably never go back, especially not order their paella you don't know how disappointed I was because I pick the restaurant I thought that this restaurant was on the up and up and had good food from my previous visit.

Place was good enough that we will return. It wasn't the best Cuban food I ever had, but I am also a harsh critic for Cuban food, as I am from S. FL. Not many options around here and we were happy with the food. My 3 year old ate very well too! Decent prices and wait time. You won't regret it.

We've been coming to this place for a couple of years now and it never disappoints. We normally share the bandeja Cubana to share and the kids love the friend plantans, my wife and I will normally do the ropa vieja and it always hits the spot. We also used them to cater after our son's baptism and the family loved it.

Food was good, the Cuban tamale was best though. This one didn't give me the vibe I was looking for. Glad to have gave this place a try.

Wonderful service and home cooked Cuban food that is nostalgic with every bite. The pork and beef are cooked well and there is plenty of food to fill you up. The Vaca Frita was my favorite dish! The plantains and tostones were home runs and the rice and beans hold true to the name.This is a Latin staple in the North Houston area! You gotta give it a try!

Love the food here. Very home cooked feel to it. Reminds me of my great grandmother cooking.
