“One of best ropa viejaI've ever had. If you really want authentic Cuban food, you must come here.Parking: You need to pay for valet parking.Kid-friendliness: I'm not sure if this place is kid friendly for sure, not in the evening. I wouldn't recommend it.Wheelchair accessibility: They might have wheelchair accessible.“
“We took my little brother from out of town to this place and enjoyed it. Immensely the atmosphere was very casual and we had a great time. The food was delicious and we got it very quickly. The staff was very attentive.Kid-friendliness: Our eight-year-old had a blast“
“Last night I was there and I bought the best empanadas I tasted in the United States in addition to some potato balls that for God's sake were so delicious! My heart burst with flavors! Thank you for cooking so good, I want to go back and try more things from the menu. I highly recommend this place. I loved that the lady who took care of us was confused when we asked for the flavor of the empanadas and gave them to us as a gift so that we can try another flavor.“
“Holy cow... The food. Amazing. Wonderful. Delightful. Simple, quality ingredients cooked with love. Best restaurant food I've had in years. Every bite was perfect.Service. Beyond par. Attentive but not too much. Friendly and polite. Perfect.Atmosphere is a cool-cat hang with Dizzy Gillespie at a recording session. Awesome.“
“Despite being a Cuban food restaurant, the place immediately transports you to any other Latin city, (Caracas, Santo Domingo, San José....) it is a place with typical Cuban food, the decoration is not exquisite at all, a Informal atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable, super excellent service, super good food, it has parking. I tried meat sandwich and fried Maduro, also a delicious soursop smoothie, excellent. Others ordered Ropa Vieja Sandwich, Chicken Sandwich, empanadas and suckling pig. All very pleased with our choices. The photo I published shows my bite of the Sandwich as proof of tasting. Recommended.“
“This place has become one of our favorites, and in the many times we’ve gone over the year it’s never disappointed on any level. The servers are so kind and attentive, the mojitos are refreshing, and the pollo saltado comes out perfect every time. This is one of the few places where I immediately look forward to our next night back after we leave.“
“One of the best Cuban restaurant's I have had in a while. Everything was delicious and authentic.Came in on a Friday night just after 6pm. Party of 4, we sat right down and ordered appetizers, papa rellenas and empanadas cubanas and drinks, Cuban sodas and sangria.Everything took a reasonable amount of time taking into consideration that it was a little busy. The server was a little slow to check up but not so long that you felt forgotten.Dinner was ordered... Ropa vieja, Lechón asado, pan con bistec, yuca frita, yuca con mojo, moros and maduros were ordered and IT WAS ALL AMAZING. Portions were sizable and flavors on point.And of course cortaditos and flan for dessert. FANTASTICO!!Definitely will be back to try other dishes in the menu.Parking: Parking lot is shared with other businesses. If you go at night, parking should be considerably easier.“
“Great experience overall. I ordered pinot grigio to drink and hubby had a Negra Modelo beer. Had a small hiccup with my first wine order but the server fixed it at once!Meals are in the pic.We definitely took leftovers! Tasty and nice environment. Certainly recommend.“
“Please note my rating is based on having tried their chocolate Reese's peanut butter cup ONLY. It is probably one of the best cookies I've tried. It is soft baked and just sweet enough. Could be a little less sweet but can't complain if you take it with black coffee. You can see the actual Reese's cups. I don't know how they bake it that the Reese's cup doesn't burn or melt and gives you the best of two worlds. Chocolate and peanut butter. Ambiance: it has no seating area inside but has a few tables Al Fresco which is good for this type of place and size. 3 out of 5. Service: it is great and there is a young girl there that is always welcoming. 5 out of 5. Price: the cookie is on the pricey side at $5.84 including tax. For this price I wish it was a little bigger or for the same size make it cheaper. 2 out of 5. Parking: only street parking and usually around it you can find a spot. 3 out of 5.“
“Delicious, cheap Cuban food, the last business of what was once Little Havana. Close to Silverlake and Echo Park, but tucked away in much less curb-appealed HiFi. That means the prices are low and there's nothing trendy about it. But it also means less atmosphere than Tropical, say. Most customers are Spanish-speakers, and it's good to have some of the language when ordering. The coconut flan was especially delicious! Ropa Vieja and Medianoche too. Half a point off for the tv screen menu (can we just have it written down?) and the fluorescent lights, but otherwise, a perfect hidden gem.“
“Thank you so much, Beaches Weho! You made celebrating my birthday fantastic! When we first arrived, they had reserved the VIP upstairs area for my big party. After we had some concerns about viewing the show from up there, they quickly put together some high top tables for us. I am very appreciative and we all had a great time!“
“This restaurant is absolutely one of my new favorites! The food was so good & the service was impeccable. The best fried yucca & tostones I've had in LA. I can't wait to go back and eat the entire menu.Vegetarian options: Rice, beans, plantains, salad, yucca, fries, etcParking: Small parking lotKid-friendliness: Family restaurant“
“"The food at El Criollo Cuban Bar and Grill is beyond incredible! Behind the scenes, Mom infuses every dish with love, resulting in the most mouthwatering Cuban cuisine you'll ever taste. Words can't describe how delicious it truly is!" And don't miss out on the perfectly mixed and incredibly tasty mojitos! WOW!! Delicious.Hurry over to this hidden gem in the small strip mall in Burbank (across from Costco) it's an experience you won't want to miss!“
“The food was amazing- cooked right, flavorful, and filling. I’ll be back just based on the meal, but the real reason I’m leaving this review is the service I received. Felt like I had stepped into the living room of a family reunion. Happily greeted with smiles, given a bonus slice of mango halfway through my meal by who I assume must be one of the owners, and the outdoor patio area is cool too. This is the type of business I love to support.“
“Love this place! The food is delicious! So many options! The service was outstanding. The people that work here are so kind and welcoming. The ambiance is one of my favorite. One of my favorite spots! The chicken, ribs, and oxtail are my favorite!“
“Hello I love the experience I was traveling and stopped by here I was greeted with a flyer it felt very welcoming I loved it , food smells great , The server was so nice and very well informative on the ingredients , It reminds me of home and taste just like home ? BEST Cuban Food in the 818 !!Kid-friendliness: Very friendlyParking: Lots of parkingWheelchair accessibility: It’s flat no need for ramps and wide open door“
“Before moving to SFV, my bf and I would go out to find something to eat, during one of those days we passed in front of this place, we had to make a U turn, the smell of charbroiled chicken was inviting us to go try it, the chicken was delicious, I bought an extra chicken so my family could try it and they too loved it. I have tried the ribs, but for some reason every time the meat was super hard, and didn't even have barbecue sauce, I gave up and no longer order ribs, only the chicken, it has yet to disappoint me. The staff is friendly and they are quick.“
“I enjoy the steak sandwich. It's like a Latin Hoagie. Flavorful and the bread is lightly toasted so you get a slight crunch in every bite. If you're into hot subs, Philly cheesesteak type of sandwich. This sandwich doesn't disappoint.“
