Review #2---Carlo's Cafe
I went to Carlos Cafe in Rock Hill the other night which is one place I've always enjoyed in town. My wife had never eaten there and she had never really tried Cuban food. I've had a couple of the sandwiches in this delightful small bistro type establishment. My favorites being the pork sandwich and the cuban sandwich. There isn't much to these sandwiches but some shredded roasted pork on a pressed roll. The pork is marinated in citrus juices and just bursts in flavor. You add some cheese and that fresh bread and you have something truly delicious. They also do Cuban style espresso which is very sweet and strong; a perfect compliment to the joyous flavors going on in the pork. Another thing to go into the mix is to try their rice with black beans. I can't put into words how wonderful the food, atmosphere and the people are at Carlos Cafe. I've always wanted to have some of their desserts but have never been able to make it to eating one. They have home made Flan and Molten Chocolate Lava Cake on their menu ad well as the loving sweetness of caramel filled churros which I did partake in as a sinful snack one day. I promise that you will enjoy everything about this place as it is true authentic Cuban cuisine. I give it a solid A+ for taste, authenticity, and atmosphere. Here is their website.
