I'm a Cuban that grew up in Miami. This is the most authentic Cuban food in the Denver metro area and honestly it's not even close.

Ordered the nachos, croquettes, chicken fricassee, and ropa vieja - all were very delicious and flavorful! Can’t wait to come back ☺️

I’ve been to El Bohio twice, and as someone born in Cuba and raised in Miami, I can confidently say this is not authentic Cuban food. Don’t be misled by the reviews—this place is mid-grade at best.
The staff is friendly, but the food doesn’t meet the standard. My go-to spot is Cuba Bakery and Café in Aurora, which offers a far better and more authentic experience.
The other issue is the pricing. The food here is expensive for what you’re getting, and frankly, I can cook better Cuban food at home. It’s hard to justify paying high prices when the quality isn’t there.
It seems like they’re cutting corners in how they prepare meals, and it shows in the flavor. Also, the staff isn’t Cuban—when I walked in with a strong Cuban accent, they asked me where I was from. 🙄

2nd time here with my hubby. Empanadas are delicious and the cubano is super filling. The green sauce and red salsa to die for. The owners are friendly and provide great service. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu!!

Owners were so polite! I post this review as an honest review with no intended malice.
The food was not what the reviews say. We order the fried pork and pork + black rice. Onions weren’t cooked well and made the watery pork a bit bitter. Black rice was missing something. Just can’t put a taste. Side included tostones (those were good) and two soft drinks.
Total bill was just at $50. Crazy!

First time having Cuban food. The Cuban sandwich was THE best sandwich I’ve ever had period! So delicious, tangy, meaty, cheesy. We’ve been back multiple times. Also tried the roasted pork with rice and sweet plantains-delicious! The owners are very sweet and take good care of their customers.

Perfect place to eat, delicious dishes 100% Cuban flavor, good service, in short I would repeat it
We got the roasted pork with beans and sweet plantain, and a side of tostones. The food was wonderfully seasoned and flavorful. The sauces were delicious. Everything seemed made with simple and clean ingredients. The couple working the restaurant, whom I believe to be the owners, were genuine and kind. Overall a delightful experience.

We recently discovered El Bohio, a true hidden gem offering authentic Cuban cuisine. The owners are incredibly warm and welcoming, adding to the charm of the place. After searching high and low for a great Cuban sandwich in Colorado, I finally found it here—it’s easily one of the best I’ve ever had. The beef empanadas are another standout, perfectly seasoned and absolutely delicious. We’ll definitely be returning!

Listen, as a Cuban raised on my mothers and countless aunts and uncles cooking, I'm going to give it to you straight. You don't come here for ambiance. You come here to eat amazing food. You'll get it every single time and every meal. Come hungry, leave satisfied. Thats what this place is all about. Family owned and operated. Incredible pork, beef, and chicken dishes. Zero fluff, all substance. Trust me.
Delicious Cuban food. I had the tostones nachos and it was so flavorful and yummy. The Mojo sauce was excellent - piquant and full of flavor. Service was great. Unbeknownst to us, we came in right before closing, but we would never have known by the way they took care of us. Everyone of the five of us enjoyed our meals.
