Had dinner while visiting Denver and the food was delicious! The service was fantastic and portions were large. All options were customizable. Highly recommend!

We live in Longmont and always find an excuse for a “date night” at Cuba Cuba. We’ve been loyal patrons for over 15 years—and it never disappoints! Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just out for a casual dinner, everything on the menu is incredible. The Vaca Frita and Churrasco are our all-time favorites. Their mojitos and Cuba Libres are also top-notch! The service and vibrant Latin vibes make for the perfect night out every time.

Food was absolutely incredible. I just moved here from the Miami area and this really competes with the places there.

I highly recommend coming in and getting the pollo a la plancha

I’m a long time customer of Cuba Cuba and frequented the Glendale location for the four years I lived in that area, sometimes going twice a week. Cuba Cuba delivers on the flavor. Lechon plate or Ropa vieja plate are out of this world.

Today I visited the Denver location and found that the prices are nearly $10 more for the same dishes. This was quite off putting if I’m being honest. I would still come back and highly recommend this place! Just not sure why this location is priced that much higher.

Very fun atmosphere. Food was very, very salty. Yucca fries were like eating candles. Service was good.

I'm a Brazilian lady. I visited Cuba Cuba on a cold January night by myself. From the hostess (I wish i had gotten her name to give her major kudos) to the waiting staff and the bartending lady, service was warm, friendly and welcoming.
I had 2 caipirinhas, made with real life 51 cachaça, like whaaaaat. They also have Ypioca.
It was like drinking a caipirinha in BH: not overly sweet, not bitter, just right.
For dinner I had the vaca frita, and substituted the maduros with yuca fries. I also added garlic mojo.
It was one of the most delicious, filling and comforting dishes I've ever had. My sincerest compliments to the kitchen and all wait staff.

The portion is generous for 1: i was a little bit overstuffed, but I couldn't stop eating. I left NOTHING on the plate.

The dish was seasoned very well, i did not have to add salt or pepper.

The ambience was lovely: warm, inviting, not presumptuous at all. I've never been to Cuba, but I felt like I was there.

I highly recommend this place and I cannot wait to bring my husband.

Lucky me for living in the same neighborhood as Cuba Cuba.

With much amor ❤️ from the Brazilian patron who visited on Jan 9th.

So, I feel the need to preface this as coming from a 1st Generation Cuban, born and raised in Miami, but raised via my mother's cooking. Now, for the review. I was a bit disheartened by the atmosphere, the aesthetic and all of that was great, I wouldn't say that it was like going to my tia's house for a cuban party, but you can definitely see the inspiration. However, I feel that if this may be the 'flagship' of Cuba Cuba, they could've leaned a little bit more into it. I think the majority of the staff weren't cuban or spoke spanish, which "It shouldn't matter," but I feel like Cuban Hospitality is a lot different than anything out there. This by no means is a reflection of the service. It was great all around, but it felt off, and I felt out of place. But that's besides the point, now for the food.

The food is great, it is truly Cuban tasting food..... for the most part. As the flagship and as a business, I completely understand that the thing to keep this around is to bring in customers. But it definitely felt weird that some of it was fusion based, now, granted, completely understand that it's about including everyone. But still, I think it should've been like strictly cuban dishes to kinda show Denver, "This is Cuba.". The cafecito was good, and I know it's on a case by case, but this one was 4/5 compared to the usual 5/5, it tasted alright, but felt light and was missing the foam or 'espumita' that Cafecito are known for.

The other food was great tasting, and the 'Pollo a la plache' tasted exactly as if my Mom was in the kitchen cooking and complaining that no one helps her around the house.

In closing, come for the food, you will not be disappointed, but if you want more of a closer cuban feel, I would suggest visiting their Sandwhicheria locations.

Would recommend.

Nice vibes. Food was good but could have more flavor. No dipping sauce was served with the yuca which was odd. Attentive and kind service.

Best mojito you will ever have in your life!! The Cuban food is excellent as well, and it's in a nice, quaint, little bungalow.

This place is a total disaster and a health hazard. The waitress didn’t know the menu, the food took forever, and it arrived cold and disgusting. The manager, instead of addressing complaints, only cared about charging us. Worst of all: the staff handled food with dirty hands, without washing or wearing gloves. They should shut it down immediately.

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere, and great service!
On Google maps, it said there was a wait-list, but we arrived right when the restaurant opened and were seated right away (granted, it was a Tuesday).
Would definitely come back!

Cuba Cuba is very authentic and legitimate Cuban food. I admit that I have never visited Cuba, however I have dined many times at some of the highest rated Cuban restaurants in Little Havana, Miami, Fla.

Kristy, the owner took time from her busy restaurant to come over to our table and checked in on our experience. One can tell she is personally invested in the restaurant and the customers are treated well with excellent service. Thank you team members at Cuba Cuba. You got this dialed in and it shows.
