I stopped at the Cuban Hut in Temecula on a recommendation from my brother. He works in construction and mentioned that he and his coworkers go there all the time. Easy to see why - I’d have my thriller novel characters eat here.
Tried the classic Cuban sandwich with a spicy sauce on the side. It was solid. It was kinda like the beefy Cuban version of a French Panini. Been a while since my last Cuban meal. It was years ago in Los Angeles.
The decorations and wall art grabbed me right away. Bold colors and tropical graphics that reminded me of South Miami or snapshots friends have shared from Cuba. While sitting there, an idea clicked for one of my thriller books. A low-key café like this, where a hidden handoff could take place. It hit just right. The kind of place no one looks twice at, which makes it perfect.
The kettle-style chips gave the meal a good contrast. Not just soft textures. Real crunch. Way better than just some basic stuff pulled out of a bag.
Also tried the flan. Super tasty, almost like it came out of someone’s kitchen. Hard to find a good one that’s not factory-packed. This hit the mark.

I love the authentic food here. I am Puerto Rican and know Cuban food well and this place has it right. I ordered multiple dishes for a family meal and everyone raved about the food. Would highly recommend for catering or just a cuban sandwich. I like supporting small businesses, so this checks all the marks.

You are greeted like you are family 🖐. While I was looking at the menu trying to figure out, what do I want? The gentleman at the counter gave us a small bowl of this amazing soup that had potatoes, thick broth, sausage, it was amazing. We ordered the red snapper fish plate 🍽 😋 I ordered the Ironman chicken 🐔 plate. Wow, can I say that again Wow 👌 👏 😍 👍 🥰. There was specials that are going on. I will be coming back to trying out other amazing food. If you are a foodie, you're gonna love this place. They got it right on their receipt. This is the best cuban food that's in temecula.

The Cuban sandwich is amazing and if you like a little spice with a lot of flavor the sauce you can get with it is so good I always buy a bottle to take home

So I've had their food a couple times as takeout, but today was my first time actually visiting the location. I was greeted promptly ,atmosphere was super chill , and my grilled chicken sandwich was phenomenal! Would strongly recommend this place for sure!

Love this place, the guys there are friendly and welcoming. The Cuban King is AMAZING. I'd be more adventurous with other stuff on the menu but I just can't make myself miss out on how good that Cuban sandwich is. Don't miss the pastries, the cream cheese and guava is delicious, perfectly flaky and light but packed with flavor. THE only Cuban place I'll go to, without question.
True Cuban food, super flavorful and super friendly staff

The best Cuban food I've had stateside! The owner is friendly and the food is amazing. If you go I recommend asking the owner what he recommends. He has never steered us wrong. My favorite is the ox-tail special!

Whenever we are in Temecula we absolutely must stop at this little Cuban gem of the IE. Today we were just going to get the garbonzo soup and maduros but then we walked in and were overcome by the smells and the music. We also ordered, the beef puff pastry, the guava pastry and a pork & cheese empanada. The hubby topped everything off with a cafecito. Man, talk about delicious!! Give ‘em a try.

This is a small place with BIG flavors. The first time I ate here I had the Cuban sandwich and I was not disappointed. The next two visits I had their Oxtail plate. It is definitely a must try. 👌
