I went in today for the first time to try their steak sandwich and I give it a 5 on a scale from 1 to 10 the taste was there but that steak was very chewy and a little hard. They need to cook the steak a little longer maybe in a pressure cooker to make it more tender so that it's not so chewy when you eat it. Please make your steak a little more tender.

I ordered the palomilla and what I got does not even resemble palomilla and when I called there’s never a manager there and they’re just like a we’re sorry and she’s like well, that’s our palomilla I said no, it’s not. This is cube Steak your ripping people off.They were rude as hell they wouldn’t offer it to fix it. I wouldn’t feed this stuff to my dog and then when you give them the opportunity to fix it or tell them that your Latin and you know what palomilla is and white rice that they put saffron on it’s awful. I wouldn’t recommend it for my dog.

Great little spot for breakfast or lunch, good food and very welcoming, the menu has different options and definitely good coffee. They've been there for years so you know that due to its longevity, they are a place to check out for yourself. They also have outside seating if you want to bring your four legged family member. Enjoy 😊

Worst Media Noche sandwitch ever. $10 for a non season and barely any ingredients. Won't return again!

Ricky's Cuban Cafe has that rare neighborhood charm where the food feels honest and the prices make you smile before you even take a bite. The place has an easygoing vibe, the kind where you can sit down for a quick meal and somehow end up lingering because everything tastes like it was made by someone who genuinely cares. The standout for me is the Spanish tortilla, and it is wildly good for how inexpensive it is.

The tortilla comes out warm thick and perfectly set, with that classic blend of potatoes and eggs cooked to a texture that falls right between tender and hearty. There is no dryness, no shortcuts, just that traditional slow-cooked feel that lets the flavors settle into each other. For something so simple, it carries a depth that only comes from making it the right way. Every slice tastes like it was prepared thoughtfully, not rushed.

The part that makes it even better is the price. It is one of the cheapest items on the menu, but it could easily compete with dishes at places charging double. You get real value here without sacrificing quality, and that balance is a big part of why Ricky's Cuban Cafe stands out.

Friendly staff, fast service, and food that feels true to its roots. Five stars without hesitation, and the Spanish tortilla alone is enough reason to keep coming back.

Place is slow, expensive and the ladies behind the counter got that attitude

Went in this morning for a quick to go order of bread and pastries

20 min later the order is still in the oven.
Atrendant rolling her eyes when I ask for my order. Ended up refunding me for the pastries that never received

What a joke. Airport prices and slow service with an attitude. Just about any other Cuban bakery will be better

Don't understand what the hype is about this place, it was average. Food was ok. Service was alright. Trying to get our check was a bit hard due to waitress shortage. I came, I ate but will not return
