Rancho Alegre Cuban Restaurant - Savannah (GA)

5 /5 Fatin Asnan: Coming to this restaurant wasn’t planned, but we were pleasantly surprised with the food, service, and vibe. We made a last minute reservation (due to our original restaurant didn’t work out). Got there 20 mins early and got seated right away. For the food, we ordered the whole fried tilapia, a fried grouper fillet, an iron beer (Cuban version of coke)— and everything came just about $40. That price in the downtown of Savannah is unbelievable. Huge portions too.

Sweet plantains were a nice touch of sweetness to the savory fish. And the garlic bread they gave in house… chef’s kiss! Plus, they got live music and friendly servers. We were there for 1.5 hours and witnessed 3 birthday celebrations by the servers and the band. Service can be a bit slow due to how packed it is, but just set your expectations especially for weekend nights.

5 /5 Joanna Park: The complimentary bread was absolutely delicious, garlic bread, to be specific, and it was full of flavor. The sandwich and fried calamari were also tasty, but the real star was the paella. The seasoning was perfect, and the umami flavor was just right. It says on the menu that the paella takes about 40 minutes to prepare, but it actually came out a bit quicker than expected, and I was completely satisfied. If youre visiting Savannah, this place is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend!

5 /5 Rod T.: The food was great. It and the drinks were reasonably priced. The portions were not huge; they seemed just right to have a really satisfying meal with some leftovers to take home if you happened to fill up on the delicious bread they brought to the table as we perused the menu. The service was friendly.

5 /5 Ana Viséras: Excellent food! Very delicious and I feel that the price was very competitive considering the amount of food we were served! I went for lunch yesterday and we had one lunch plate each and left full and happy. Service was quick and very friendly, the beans were specially flavorful and the pork was too. I had a fantastic sandwich. I would go back anytime!
