Arelita Authentic Cuban Food

To this day I think it is the best Cuban food restaurant in Colorado. The authentic taste of Cuba, very cordial treatment and a very pleasant atmosphere. I don't know how to explain it, but you just have to go, thank you

Wow what an experience. Cubano pork melted in my mouth. Full of flavor. Everything we had was top notch. Server was attentive and responsive, chief came out ensure all was good. Atmosphere authentic and welcoming. Everything was on point and we are so happy to find a new authetic, absolutely delicious cuban establishment locally.

Parking: Spark on Platte or there are 6ish spots next to the pot shop.

The food that we did end up getting was great, but on that note everything we initially wanted to order including drinks was not available, which is frankly quite disappointing. Staff was friendly, it was clean. We will eventually go back in hopes that we can actually order what we wanted!

When I learned about Arelitas Authentic Cuban Food, I couldn’t wait to try it, and it did not disappoint! The food is absolutely delicious and truly reflects traditional Cuban cuisine. You can tell the owners take a lot of pride in what they do—it’s reflected not only in the amazing flavors but also in the warm atmosphere and outstanding service. The server was fantastic, and the whole experience made me feel like I was part of the family.

I’ve been twice in a row now, and I can’t wait to go back again! Tip: Ask the chef for the special of the day—you won’t regret it! I’m wishing them the biggest success, and I highly recommend giving this gem a try.

We are originally from Miami and were looking for authentic Cuban food because we get homesick sometimes. This place was a wonderful little surprise. Very intimate atmosphere, loved the rice and black beans, the moro, the empanadas (definitely try the guava and cheese). The service was super friendly and attentive. I was so busy eating ai almost forgot to take a picture. Definitely try it!

Vegetarian options: They have salad, rice and beans, tostones, guava and cheese empanadas and even offer a vegan platter that has a vegan tamal option.

Food was amazing. Service was attentive and friendly. The chef can out to make sure everything tasted good. The rib meat (today's special) literally fell off the bone and had so much flavor. I've traveled to Miami a bit and this felt like the home cooked Cuban food I've eaten there. What a gem to find this place in Colorado. Highly recommend.

Absolutely one of the most delicious meals I’ve had in years. Incredibly kind and friendly folks here. Had the chicken, beans, rice, potato special and it was so succulent, savory and delightful. The sandwiches my bandmates had were massive and perfectly toasted. Everyone was incredibly stoked. Thank you!! We’ll be back

If I can give more than five stars, I would! Attended lunch here for a work trip and it was amazing. I have not had food that tasty in a very long time. I don't know the names of everything I tried because the boss ordered a bunch of different things for everyone to sample, but I did order the Cubano for myself and it was delicous, as was everything else. The staff is warm and friendly. A very pleasant experience that I hope to enjoy again sometime.
