El Tocororo

Frommer's Review

Like its progeny, La Finca, this is a place whose reputation precedes it, and whose actual performance can't quite justify the prices and renown. The food and service are fine, but they don't live up to the fanfare. There's no fixed menu, but if the waiter's suggestions don't hit the mark, ask and they may be able to accommodate your request. Most main dishes run between CUC$24 and CUC$35 (US$26-US$38/£13-£19), with lobster -- which you choose from a tank -- topping things off at around CUC$40 ($43/£22) a pop. They sometimes have exotic game here, ranging from ostrich to crocodile. Almost anything can be prepared with whatever sauce or preparation you might desire. The restaurant is housed in an attractive old Miramar mansion; the decor is cluttered and eclectic, with Tiffany lamps, stained glass, assorted hanging plants, and carved parrots dominating the scene. There's also an attached little sushi bar and restaurant, Sakura, serving traditional and respectable Japanese cuisine, although sometimes certain ingredients are lacking.
