Honest review after 11 days — mostly great, a few gripes

Visited Cuba for 11 days. The positives are real: Che Guevara Mausoleum is every bit as impressive as advertised, and the food scene around Trinidad is genuinely excellent — try moros y cristianos if you haven't. warm and resilient people was an unexpected bonus.

That said, food quality in state restaurants disappoints. It's not a dealbreaker but worth knowing before you go. I'd still recommend Cuba to most travellers — just manage your expectations on those specific points and you'll have a great time.
