"In an unassuming corner of a nondescript street sits a tiny restaurant with high tables and chairs, a bar and a kitchen, the Casa Caribena doesn't look like much from the outside, but didn't your mother warn you not to judge a book by its cover.Inside Casa Caribena awaits fantastically good food, cooked to perfection and with obvious love by the proprietor, a jolly Dominican gent with obvious gusto for cooking. The dishes are a melange of classic caribbean dishes and some that were no doubt invented right here in Vienna. The result is an extensive menu with a great many good options to choose from.I chose an avocado soup and a red-tuna steak. The soup was surprising, full and flavorful and good enough that I would have asked for a second plate if I didn't have the tuna coming. And the tuna, man o man, the tuna was out of this world. It's easy to overcook red tuna and make leathery, it's just as easy just to give it a brief tour of the grill and call it a day, but cooking red-tuna and seasoning to perfection requires experience and talent. The sauce was so good I asked for some bread just to sponge it up. And there awaited a further pleasant surprise. The bread came, obviously fresh and lightly toasted over a grill (as any good Caribbean cook would know). I took a bite and the aroma surprised me, it took me a while to place it. It was the smell of a long forgotten meal in Miami, must be twenty years ago. There's something about how they make their bread that sets it apart. I don't know what it is, but it works. I guess you couldn't get any more authentic than that.The cocktails are brilliant, I recommend the Rum Sour.Be warned, this is a cash-only joint, come prepared."
