Carlos “Cuban” Café on Cheery Road in Rock Hill has closed but the restaurant is moving and reopening in Tega Cay at the Stonecrest Shopping center of Hwy 160.

The Restaurants’ Facebook page describes the restaurant as

“Family owned Cuban Restaurant, Carlos Cafe, was created to give the Carolinas’ palette an authentic taste of Cuba! Cuban food is a fusion of flavorful spices of Spanish, African and Caribbean cuisines. The owners of Carlos Cafe are bringing a piece of Cuba’s heritage, flavors and culture with their small eatery in a big way! Inspired by Cuba…Made in the U.S.A.”

The restaurant and bar facility at the Tega Cay Golf and Conference Center has reopened. The restaurant is called Casual Water at Tega Cay and the bar and grill is called the Drop and the Drink Bar and Grille. The Mike Frost Group was awarded a 5 year contract by the city of Tega Cay to reopen the facility in May 2011.

We elected to sit on the patio outside the restaurant between the Bar and Grille and the restaurant since the main restaurant’s room temperature was too cold. (more…)
