I will admit I was reluctant to come here as I have only been to their sandwich shops and while tasty, I didn’t want a Cuban sandwich for dinner.
Food, drinks, service and the entire experience were top notch. I am originally from Miami and have longed for good Cuban food for some time. Ropa Vieja was amazing.

I came here for the first time lastnight and sat outside on their patio with my dog. The food was delicious ! My friend and I split the shrimp , two empanadas and the sweet plantains. Everything was incredible , not the mention the mojitos. Great atmosphere , and big shout out to our server Marina. She was awesome! I can’t wait to go back.

Authentic, delish, and reasonably priced. The BEST caipirinhas and mojitos, just like homemade!! Vaca frita and ropa vieja were legit fire 🔥🤌🏻. 10/10, no notes.

My friend is a local and took me here. I was hesitant as I don't know much about Cuban food but it was delicious. The restaurant is so cute and quaint and does offer outside seating. Service was great. My friend had a special request cocktail and thre bartender did a great job replicating it. I would definitely go back if in the area!!

EDIT: I updated my review when I spoke with the manager of this location after having a tougher pick up experience. She was warm, friendly, and listened to my feedback with care. She took ownership of the experience and invited me back. It’s not easy to find hospitality like this and it speaks to the core Cuba Cuba spirit that made this location so warm and bright years ago.

As some of the recent reviews have mentioned, this Cuba Cuba location isn’t quite what it used to be with its food and service.
I do recommend the Cuba Cuba in Glendale - the drive is worth it! The staff are always sweet and the food has big flavors.
Lovely evening here. Drinks were good and the coconut shrimp was creamy and spicy delicious.

Well I didn't get to eat here this time but I went to the one at Northfield and wasn't as good as the original one they have a great bartender very servicing guy but the atmosphere wasn't pleasant the oarea pen walls doesn't work for me such a great restaurant don't need flies flying in and out of the restaurant and I don't want to be trying to be rude but it isn't pleasant time to eat fast so one don't land on your food or drink I rather go to the one downtown area instead Like I said great crew but I'm ok with the one in Downtown Denver.

This Cuban café in Denver is an absolute gem! Not only is the coffee rich, bold, and authentically Cuban, but the atmosphere is truly one-of-a-kind. Sitting here with a cafecito or cortadito in hand while being surrounded by the mountains is simply magical. The combination of authentic Cuban flavors and the breathtaking Colorado scenery makes this place unforgettable.
The pastries and snacks are just as delicious — flaky pastelitos, fresh sandwiches, and treats that instantly bring a taste of Cuba to the Rockies. The staff is warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
Whether you come for a quick coffee or to relax and take in the views, this café is a must-visit. It’s rare to find such authentic Cuban flavor paired with such stunning mountain surroundings. Truly a perfect spot in Denver!”

My wife and I had an incredible experience at Cuba Cuba in Denver! We both ordered the Lechon Asado, and it was absolutely packed with rich, savory flavor. The pork was perfectly seasoned, tender on the inside with crispy edges and the onions with a splash of lime brought everything together beautifully. The Moro rice was a star on its own! It was flavorful, hearty, and so satisfying. And the yuca frita? Light, golden, crispy perfection!
What really made this dining experience special was the atmosphere. The restaurant is designed from two small houses joined together, giving it the intimate, welcoming feel of a quaint home in Havana. The interior décor sets the mood immediately with vibrant colors, rustic wood accents, and tropical touches that make you feel like you’ve stepped out of Denver all together. It’s cozy, warm, and inviting, perfect for good food and conversation. The tables are spaced so you can enjoy a friendly vibe without feeling crowded, just the right balance of energy and privacy.
If you’re looking for authentic Cuban flavors paired with a Havana-inspired setting, Cuba Cuba is an absolute must-visit in Denver!
