Cuba Cuba Café & Bar, located in the Golden Triangle neighborhood of Denver, has received praise from many of Denver's top publications, including 5280 Magazine, which said, “It's hard to do much better in the dinner category than to stop by Cuba Cuba,” and The Denver Post which stated, “Denver finally has a Cuban restaurant, and reason to celebrate.”

The chef behind the “best Caribbean food in Denver” is Enrique Socarras. Born in Miami, Florida in 1977 to Cuban immigrants, he grew up surrounded by the tastes and aromas of Cuban cuisine. Submerged in Latin American culture, Enrique began his culinary journey at the age of 14 as a bar boy and dishwasher at a neighborhood restaurant, and quickly moved up the ranks. After almost 10 years in Miami's hotels and restaurants, Enrique moved to Denver to open Cuba Cuba Café & Bar at age 23. As Cuba Cuba's chef, Enrique shares family recipes, as well as Cuban classics. His artistic interpretation of authentic Cuban dishes provides a perfect blend for a true Cuban experience. With nearly 10 years of success, Chef Socarras continues to push his limits and enjoy himself in the kitchen.

“I use Seattle Fish Company because of the integrity and professional attitude of the company and its representatives, but mostly the quality of their seafood."
