Filmmaker Asori Soto visits every province to sample food.

Variety

Eye-opening in every way, especially for those who may think that Cuban food is just rice and beans, the film makes extensive use of Soto's engaging voiceover narration.

Don't pay attention to the "rottens". This a glorious film that is in the spirit of Anthony Bourdain but much more centered on the lived experience of ordinary Cubans. A true delight.

Cuban Food Stories is about as ambitious as a film with such a banal title would suggest.

It's hard not to feel that something is lacking, that some throughline is missing, that the key narrative entree was lost amid the vibrant but not-quite-filling courses.

Rated: B-
