Squid Eats: Santiago's Cuban Cuisine

Santiago's Cuban Cuisine has been operating in Burlington's waterfront area for about two years.  We recently went for our second visit for a pre-movie dinner.  We were too late to get a table so we sat at the bar.  Our bartender/server was both friendly and professional.

We shared an ensalada de aguacate (avocado salad) to start and camarón criollo (creole shrimp) with arroz amarillo (yellow rice) for our entree.  Both were perfectly nice.

My standards for Cuban food were set by Café Habana in New York 25 years ago.  My mouth still waters for the memory of their Corn y Cabano.  Santiago's is nowhere near that good but they offer a respectable meal.
