At Escudo de Cuba in Dalston, many dishes are served tapas-style, making it easy for you to mix and match. We recommend starting with small plates like platano maduro con guacamole (fried ripe plantain gratin with guacamole) or the calamares fritos (fried calamari) before sampling hearty mains such as the bistec de falda, a seasoned chargrilled skirt steak served with vegetables, spicy potatoes and a homemade spicy green sauce.

Best tapas and cocktails in town ! I highly recommend the croquettes and the chicken skewer, with nachos to share for starter and La Casa Del Amor cocktail to drink :)
Friendly staff, great cocktails, great happy hour and lovely food. We were a big group as it was part of a birthday party and the staff were really helpful and accommodating. Food was great as usual. I will defiantly be back and would recommend this for a fun evening.
Great atmosphere, great drinks, great food, both Tapas and Cuban dishes. Really nice little touches when you arrive and when you pay.One of my favourite restaurants in London!!
