News

In Cuba, the cimarrones were brave enslaved people who escaped from colonial plantations in search of freedom.

At El Cimarrón Cuban Restaurant, this powerful history is at the heart of everything we do. Our name pays tribute to those courageous individuals whose fight for liberty shaped the soul of Cuban culture. Their resilience and spirit live on in the flavors, stories, and traditions we proudly share with our community.

Every dish we serve—from our tender lamb and brisket to our handmade empanadas and tamales—is a celebration of that legacy. We invite you to join us in honoring the past while savoring the vibrant tastes of Cuba today.
