This lived up to the hype of reviews left. Everything we had was great. Vaca frita, congri, tostones, yuca frita, and the flan. The waitress was sweet as could be. M gracias por su servicio.

I saw the great reviews and had to try this restaurant. The waitress was so pleasant, and the service was speedy. We tried the famous Cubano, and it didn't disappoint. The pork was tender, and the ham had tons of flavor. The bread was perfectly toasted, and all came together nicely. The platanos had the perfect texture and sweet taste, which I would recommend with the Cubano. The white rice and black beans were just ok.

Couldn't eat my dinner. The tastes were way off but the girl server was really good. I eat a lot of Cuban food. The black beans were not good. The fried Yuka had like a hard shell when you bit into it.

5 stars for service, food and value!Stopped in around 4pm on a Saturday. Was looking for lunch options in the area and found Juana on Yelp. This was a great find!!Our waitress was the only person front of house at the time. Nevertheless, she was attentive, patient and very friendly! My mom observed her rush to the door to open it for someone bringing in their elderly family member. She took her time with that table and it was nice to see that she showed so much respect to them.As far as the food - delicioso! Before our meals, we had cortaditos that were strong and only a little sweet as requested. In less than 10 minites, plates of food were headed our way. I had the picadillo with white rice, black beans and sweet plantain. My mom had the bistec empanizado (a breaded skirt steak covered with ham and swiss cheese) with moro rice (white rice mixed with black beans) and tostones. We both agreed that the food exceeded our expectations. Authentic flavors and perfect portions. The temperature of the food was excellent - steam was coming out of the rice. The taste was very fresh as if the food was cooked to order. We didn't intend to finish but nearly did and our happy bellies were set for the rest of the day.Overheard they've been open a total of 7 years with 5 being in this location. There is plenty of free parking available.I'm not often in the area but if I were in the future and found myself craving Cuban food, I would return with no hesitation.

Juana's was a pleasant surprise, and a first time experience. My guest and I were guided there from Google, after attending an event at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The Cuban cuisine we were in search of was only minutes away. Our waitress was warm, friendly, and welcoming. The restaurant was small- average size, well maintained and clean, with a few paintings here anf there. The walls are adorned with the scriblings of customers who have come through its doors, which adds a nice sense of community to it. I loved that! The food was delicious. I had the breaded steak, with ham and melted cheese on top, moro -mixed black beans with rice, and tostones/fried plaintains with a hint of salt. Let me say delicious, again. The food was served hot, and the rice stayed hot throughout the meal. I had not had breaded steak in years, and that steak reminded me of when food was cooked with care. The tostones, were fresh and had the perfect crunch and flavor. I normally would need a takeout, but, I ate all of my food! It was that satisyfying without giving you that bulky feeling. We were given a pleasant goodbye as we exited. When I am in the area, I will definitely return. Prices were reasonable as well so hurry to Juana La Cubana Cafe!Wheelchair accessibility: Tables and chair seating allows for wheelchair access.
