An excellent and generous sized Cuban sandwich with crispy fries served fresh. I also tried that empanadas and they were okay. Service was good and friendly and the décor was pleasant. The air conditioning was a bit aggressive for February and we had to finish our meals quickly to escape the cold.

I love a good Cuban sandwich and man this one is to die for! Also friendly and fast to go ordering. Definitely recommend!

Rounded up to 5 stars bc there were some negatives. But as a whole this place was perfect for us. Plenty of unique options to choose from. Fresh house salad with interesting dressing. Empanadas were hot and better than most. I ordered a chicken dish with bacon and seasoned fries. All good. My son's Cuban was big and thick. A little different. Service was friendly. Negatives were...sketchy area, dark parking lot, our booth had tape covering tears in seats, not exactly clean and there is no ambiance. 2 Entrees with 2 sides, drinks and apps $50. Fast service and all in 30min. Perfect for my son and I. My wife would not have eaten here though.

We make it a point to stop here whenever we travel that way. The food is Cuban outstanding! The wait staff is wonderful. It's a very short walk from the parking to the door. Nice decor with comfortable seats. Love it!Parking: Small strip mall with plenty of parking.

The Cuban sandwich was amazing! It's my favorite sandwich and they did it very well. I tend to like a little extra meat on my Cuban sandwiches so my only complaint would be to add more but this was authentic and very well priced! Absolutely worth stopping in.

Friday night ... date night and our first time dining here ... so glad we gave it a try. Authentic Cuban cuisine..delicious! My hubby had the mojo steak meal and I had the empanada meal (Let's just say the salsa verde was SO good). The black beans were perfectly seansoned. The plantains...chef's kiss. We finishes up with two cups of café con leche ?.The kitchen turn around time was fast and the service was excellent. Our waitress was Julie ... very attentive and with a happy countenance. Such a pleasure.The menu also offers several kinds of salads, sandwiches and non-cuban food choices if you'd rather (but why would you? j/k ... no but real why? Lol). Can hardly wait to return and bring our daughters.

Stopped by for lunch and I'm in love! I like to try out new spots for lunch when I'm working, and I found this cute place on Google.I couldn't decide between the Sriracha Chicken or Shrimp wrap initially. I eventually went with the Sriracha Shrimp Wrap and sautéed Zucchini on the side because I wanted something lighter than french fries. I was very happy with the food portions.S/N: Don't sleep on the Zucchini! It was sooo good and fresh.Julie took my order over the phone and she also checked me out when I got there. She was SO NICE. I was shocked because she was super busy taking care of tables as well. She even made sure I had sauces, napkins, and cutlery in the bag without me asking. I would definitely recommend Jessica's Bistro if you're in the area. I'm excited to come back and bring my family for dinner one day. Until next time!(Edit: typo)Parking: Free parking available in a shared lot out front.

I was here to fix the hostess’ phone and the weather got really bad so I decided to stay and have a bite while I waited for the rain to calm down. Best decision ever. The service, the people, and the food was absolutely phenomenal and affordable. When I’m back in the area, I’ll definitely stop by again!
