Rice and Beans Cuban Cuisine

When Carlos Ramos opened Rice and Beans Cuban Cuisine, his goal was to offer his customers in the Cypress area something they never had before: authentic Cuban Cuisine.

In the year after opening, Ramos said his food has added to the diversity in the area, drawing in customers from different counties.

"We didn´t see a restaurant in the area that served this type of food", Ramos said.

"There is lots of diversity in the people here, and we wanted to offer something new. We have customers from many different countries: Mexico, Salvador, America, and Cuba."

Ramos moved to the Houston area seven years ago from Miami, bringing the city¨s diverse flavors and atmosphere to his own establishment.

Along with offering new flavors, Ramos is proud to stand out among other eateries as the first Cuban restaurant in the area that serves freshly cooked food daily.

Rice and Beans has diverse menu choices that highlight a variety of Cuban Creole flavors with beef, chicken, pork, and seafood dishes such as shredded beef topped with seasoned Cuban sauce and served with sweet and tangy plantains.

The menu also includes a variety of wines from Italy and Portugal as beer, along with mojitos with tropical fruit flavors.

However, good food is not the only thing that keeps customers coming back, Ramos said.

"There are three things that are important to me about owning a restaurant: cleanliness, good service, and fresh food", Ramos said. "We want everyone to have quality food so that our customers are satisfied with what we offer."
