I had lunch at El Libre today with my brother. He had the Vegetarian Bowl which is rice, black beans, corn and I believe a bit of avocado. I had the Cubano pressed sandwich, which is sliced pork shoulder, along with a side of sweet plantains.
The food was very good. The is a small, plastic table cloth, hole in the wall with a very limited menu. As I recall there were two main dishes, along with a handful of sandwiches and another handful of sides. However, the food was delicious and I highly recommend it.
It was a little disconcerting, because I showed up at 11:45 and there were no customers inside. This is quite unusual for a New Orleans lunch place. Maybe we just hit a slow day / time?
Anyway, my lunch was less than $12, hardly more than massed produced fast food. Well worth it.
They also have a full bar, but since it was the middle of the work day, we did not try that.
The greatest tasting authentic Caribbean/cuban food around. Relaximg, serene atmosphere with friendly & kind staff. I will return again! They also offer a variety of tasty unique mixed drinks.
Great place with a simple menu. Wonderful people working at this place. I would spend all every weekend there. Chicken dish and beef dish are great. Nice vegetarian options. Wheelchair accessible. Great coffee.
