Had a low-key date night with my husband here this evening. We had the beef and vegetable empanadas, ropa vieja, champagne cupcake, and guava and cheese pastry. All of it was so delicious. The customer service was phenomenal as well. They are so very sweet. Already can’t wait to go back!

The food and service were incredible. I stopped in here for the first time with my daughter to get some Cuban coffee. We also, got the Cuban Frita burger and an empanada (thanks to the owner, Frank, for having us try it!). It was all amazing. Our new favorite place!

As a Cuban from the east coast, authentic Cuban food was always easy to find and my go-to comfort when I needed a pick-me-up. When I moved to Fort Collins, I thought I’d lost that connection… until I found Babalu’s.
Everything here is super fresh and delicious! The owners are so welcoming and kind to everyone who comes in. I’ve been enjoying their pastelitos with a colada multiple times a month for the past year—especially the guava and cheese pastelitos, which I highly recommend. Every time it takes me right back to my childhood.
I really love this place and hope more people in Colorado get to try the amazing flavors of Cuban food here.

If I could rate this place higher, I would. The Cuban sandwich is absolutely perfect and the bread was incredible, flavorful and cheesy. My husband had the frita burger special and it was absolutely delicious as well. It had fry chips on it and crunchy pickles ? They have an awesome selection of drinks and pastries too.
The staff is amazing and really complete the cafe! I really enjoyed learning that they started as a food truck and now have their own space. So awesome! We really enjoyed the atmosphere inside, the decor fits perfectly and really compliments the place.
We can’t wait to come back and will be keeping our eyes out for specials! Ps, we loved the “I love Lucy” stuff!
