"If it can do for Cuban food what Jiro did for sushi, the island could have a cult of hungry Americans arriving as soon as they're legally allowed."- FOOD & WINE
"A gorgeous love letter to the people and country of Cuba...a real triumph overall."- FILM THREAT
"A culinary adventure that would have made Anthony Bourdain blush."- REMEZCLA
"Eye-opening...mouth-watering! Made with an archivist's heart and a gourmand's soul, 'Cuban Food Stories' chronicles director Asori Soto's road trip around the island of his birth, searching for the flavors of his youth and the stories behind the distinctive (and sometimes disappearing) tastes of regional cuisines. Soto, a longtime U.S. resident, captures his native country at a time of transition and smartly probes the relationship between culinary traditions and cultural heritage...he imbues his film with a hand-crafted charm that perfectly suits the stories and foods he focuses on."- VARIETY
