El Ambia Cubano Cuban Restaurant

Great place, but the comments are inaccurate.. After speaking to the chef directly, the beans are not GF. If you are sensitive I suggest to not have them. The GF options are white rice, certain steak options, and one of the seafood platters. Make sure to double check with the kitchen!

Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon. Food was fantastic. Beans and rice were delicious, roasted pork was tender and delicious. Others in our party had the fried pork and the Hemingway rice, their take on Seafood paella. Staff was somewhat knowledgeable but I feel comfortable knowing it was fresh and not processed. Happy to share a great review and come back again.

The server was not knowledgeable so I asked to talk to manager who knew. They only have “flour” gluten in 1 fried item. So all items fried could have gluten. I am subbing out plantains for a salad. Their meat dishes should be good. The rice and beans. I will update if I get sick.

Amazing authentic Cuban cuisine! We loved the yuca fries, the traditional shredded pork dinner with beans, rice, and plantains, and the chorizo! Friendly service, delicious food!

Edit: Just wanted to note that a shared fryer does not bother me personally, but everyone has their own sensitivity level. If a shared fryer is an issue for you, they have lots of tasty options that are not fried.
