Great experience, great service. The wait for the food was not long was attended really quick.

The food is damn good! The garlic half chicken is the best (even better than Miami's Little Havana).

Authentic Cuban Comfort with a Family Touch ! 🇨🇺
El Cubano is a true neighborhood gem. From the moment you step inside, you feel like you’re part of the family. There’s a warmth here that’s rare—not just in the service, but in the food, the energy, and the way the owners clearly pour their heart into every detail.
The menu is packed with soulful, home-style Cuban dishes that taste like they’ve been passed down through generations. The ropa vieja is tender and deeply flavorful, the black beans and rice are perfectly seasoned, and the tostones are golden and crisp ! Every dish we have had here has been beyond delicious ! And the Mojitos are just perfection. 🍹🤩
But, what truly sets El Cubano apart is the wonderful people. You can feel the love in everything they do—from the warm welcome to the genuine care they show throughout your meal. It’s not just a restaurant—it’s an extension of their home, and they welcome you like an old friend from the moment you walk in. 💜
This is the kind of spot that makes a neighborhood special. Delicious, heartfelt, and unforgettable. Support them once, and you’ll find yourself coming back again and again. Jessica, Nicholas & Mikey, THANK YOU for always making us feel like family ! 😘 🙏🏼

This is a hidden gem in SCV and our new go to local spot for Cuban food! Mike was our server and he was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and overall one of the best servers we have had in a very long time in SCV. The food was delicious. We had the arroz con pollo, empanadas, media noche and flan. Everything came out in a timely matter and was hot and fresh. It was all so yummy. Being Cuban myself, I can say this was an authentic food experience. This should be everyone’s new local casual dining spot for a date night or family. Their prices are also very reasonable and they have an extensive menu with lots of options. I only wish we tried this place out sooner! Highly recommend, just go you won’t regret it.

Absolutely phenomenal. One of my very favorite restaurants in California. Service is always good and the food is OUTSTANDING. This restaurant made me fall in love with Cuban food and I have been trying as many Cuban places as I can but none compare to El Cubano. Pictured: Mojo Chicken (my personal favorite) and Ropa Vieja. The Cuban sampler is also really good!
I am so glad my son recommended this place. Ordered a couple of sandwiches to go and they were just excellent! While I waited Mike made me feel right at home. I can’t wait to take the whole family and go further into the menu. What a gem!

“I was hyped when I saw the 4.7 stars, but when I ordered the breaded pork chop and Ropa Vieja, it was just average. There was too much breading on the pork chop, and the Ropa Vieja was pretty fatty. However, the beans were really good and the plantain.
Got half a bbq chicken meal and chicken empanadas… the empanadas didn’t have much filling and was a little disappointed… but the meal was very delicious and would definitely get that again!!

I originally found out about this place when I picked up a order for my client. She let me try her fried yucca which had beef in it and it came with a green garlic sauce and let me tell you I had to have more. That's the only thing I have tried so far but look forward to having many more things. The inside is so cute and felt so welcome by the staff. They also have a sangria I want to try just couldn't then was on the way back to work.
Great food, great service, good size portions and clean bathrooms.
