Lonely Planet review for El Aljibe

On paper a humble Palmares restaurant, but in reality a rip-roaring culinary extravaganza, El Aljibe has been delighting both Cuban and foreign diplomatic taste buds for years. The furor surrounds the gastronomic mysteries of just one dish, the obligatory pollo asado (roast pork), which is served up with as-much-as-you-can-eat helpings of white rice, black beans, fried plantain, French fries and salad. The accompanying bitter orange sauce is said to be a state secret.

    Would be happy to eat here every night

    gblaster recommends this,

    If I had my druthers I might be tempted to just eat at El Aljibe every night of my time in Havana. The food is great, I think about it often - that unforgettable sauce is addictive.
