Vicente's Cuban Cuisine
- Neighborhood: Downtown Detroit
- 1250 Library
- Detroit, MI 48226
- 313-962-8800
- Price range: $$ ($9-$15)
Downtown's first Cuban restaurant is family-owned and pleasingly furnished; salsa music and old "I Love Lucy" shows on TVs add Cuban flavor. Vicentes' menu ranges from classic pressed Cuban sandwiches and home-style Cuban entrees to authentic Spanish entrees and tapas.
Dine inexpensively or go all out and have Cuban or Valencian paellas, a typical rice dish which are priced in the $20s per person.
