I hate when my memory of something is much better than the reality. I've been to Cuba Cuba before, and I remember the food being awesome. So when I was planning my trip to Denver, I made a dinner reservation for Cuba Cuba. Big disappointment...I should have realized that it had been probably 6 years since I've last eaten there, and maybe like the economy, it's gone downhill. The food wasn't nearly as good as I remembered it, the plaintains didn't taste the same, and the desserts tasted worse than fast food joints at the airport.
Top to bottom: creme brulee, tres leches, something infused flan. They had fancier names, but it wasn't worth remembering. The creme brulee - eh, average. The tres leches - dry. The flan - weird and not something I would ever crave. Flan's texture is "special" as it is...no need to infuse a weird peach or something flavor in there. (And I have no aversions to texture whatsoever.)
