I migliori ristoranti di cucina caraibica a High Point, Raleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill

Aaktun Coffee + Bar was a wonderful restaurant to dine at, especially with friends. It’s definitely a place I would recommend to eat at before a night out. The ambience of the establishment was fun with great Latin music; it’s a place that can definitely set the tone for the rest of the night. Granted, my friends and I had reservations for this restaurant on a Saturday night at 8:45 PM. When we walked in, we were immediately seated. Our waitress promptly approached us and took our order for drinks. As we browsed through the menu, the fun music filled the background. For our appetizers, we placed an order for curried mussels and their ceviche de coco. The ceviche was served with green fried plantains, or tajadas verdes (in Spanish). The ceviche was fresh and perfectly zesty. Considering the heat outside, the ceviche was a refreshing appetizer to start the night with. The curried mussels — scrumptious. What made these mussels scrumptious was the curry sauce they were served in. It was slightly spicy, but rich in flavor. Personally, we were ready to eat spoonfuls of that curry sauce. Since it was four of us, four separate entrees were ordered: (i) Bavette Saltado, a filling meat dish served with white rice topped with fried yuca, pickled onion, cilantro, and ají amarillo; (ii) Encodado Del Mar, a seafood dish that had meaty shrimp and calamari, a perfectly crispy piece of salmon served with white sushi rice in a coconut tomato sauce; (iii) Pork Belly Adobo, a hearty dish with braised and caramelized pork belly served with bok choy, oyster mushroom, and white rice; (iv) Short Rib Sancocho, a warm and filling dish (kind of like a stew dish) with braised short rib, small bite size pieces of yuca and butternut squash, topped with a beautiful avocado rose, fresh cilantro and red habanero slices, which was recommended to be eaten with a separate order of white rice to be more filling. Overall, the portions were worth the price and the taste outstanding.

Been here the last two weekends with a different waitress and waiter, both times were exceptional. Last Sunday delicious Little Bull French Toast brioche with cream in the middle and berries on top. On Saturday (yesterday) I got the OG Burger (two smashed oil beef patties), absolutely mouth watering!! 🤤🤤 I eat a burger only two maybe three times a year (I refrain from beef)but so glad I decided to try this burger that melted in my mouth. Oh I the Matcha.

Food and service wonderful. Wings are amazing, and whole fish unforgettable. Beautiful drinks. Lively intimate place. We love Mala Pata!

Loved our Valentine Dinner- only sorry to hear they are closing in April. Wish they would stay. Delicious food and fun vibe
