If you truly you want to taste of Cuba brought to your table, then go straight to Belkis, she has such passion for her food and her cooking, she brings the spirit of Cuba and her ancestors with her she oking all over again. She's been gone for quite some time now. But I can tell you my grandmother was born and raised in Cuba and left right before Fidel took control. When I tell you she has the best Cuban food and the best and most authentic, it is 100%. You can't get any better than Belkis! We have a lot of Mexican food here but she's the only true Cuban food, if you want the flavor of Cuba to come home to your dinner table or your lunch time goes to see Belkis on the island, she's right between the car wash and the old hospital, the gas station right there that it's on island itself walk-in make a right. And there she is cooking in her kitchen!(She was able to survive 2020 in the months in between by herself without help! She was open and ready to serve you at a moment's notice!) She was never closed once, and she does a lot to help the community! She is truly a gem in Venice and a staple! She reminds me so much of my Cuban grandmother, from cuba. She has that nothing can knock me down attitude keeps going. But mostly she puts so much love and caring into preparing every meal, when you want real food. That's not an assembly line and only uses the freshest of ingredients! No need to think twice go ahead and go, as a man that stands behind his word! I will gladly put my name behind hers
Vegetarian options: With all the vegetables she uses when she cooks, she can prepare your traditional Cuban food without meat. It's like asking your grandmother or your own mother to cook you a meal . She can customize anything to your liking
Dietary restrictions: She cooks everything from scratch so just ask her, and she will cook you any kind of Cuban food you would like. She will customize any order with no charge
Parking: More than enough parking, it's on the Venice island, and it actually stands on its own little baby Island what the gas station. There is always parking no matter what and very close parking
Kid-friendliness: Not only is a kid-friendly it's family-friendly! When you eat there you are family. Even if you eat there once your family for life

You wouldn't believe that you could find food that tastes this amazing tucked into the side of a Citgo gas station, so you're just going to have to try this place yourself. My first time eating it will DEFINITELY not be the last time. I got a plate of the seasoned and shredded beef with tons of rice and beans, as well as a potato roll that's stuffed with more meat. The plates themselves are reasonably priced for how much you're actually getting. I know the pork and chicken taste amazing as well, so I know the next 3 meals I'm planning to get WAY in advance.

Please excuse any typos here because I have been absolutely subdued by the food my husband and I got at Belki's!! I have never had meat that just melted in my mouth like butter. And the flavor was like a fiesta for my tastebuds! You want to talk about comfort food....... this is it! And the gentleman behind the counter was such a joy. He made us feel welcome and let us try some of the meats before making our final choice...... which was hard because it was all so delicious! Ultimately we got a Cuban sandwich (it was to die for) and a plate of chicken and ribs (I would die for those as well!) We will definitely be going back!

The cuisine at Belkis is absolutely delicious! The Cuban sandwich alone is worth a visit. Venice is a gorgeous setting & the owners are one of a kind.

This truly is a hidden gem! The deli is ran by a husband and wife who are so kind and genuine. As soon as you walk in, the food just smells so amazing. The food somehow tastes even better than it smells. True and authentic Cuban food. My husband and i shared a plate and a Cuban sandwich. They give very generous portions. I can’t recommend this place enough!!!
Great food, wonderful people!!! Definitely going back!!!

It started by ordering a Cuban sandwich… the next thing I know the owners have us tasting all the exceptional fresh food ready for the day and we are leaving with boxes to eat later. They both were very fun and engaging. We ended up ordering a bunch of food to take with us for a weekend job and enjoyed every single bite. Literally! Nothing went to waste. We ordered from there both days we were in town. We will be back the next time we are anywhere near the area.

Best plate of food in town, and for an amazing price. I get two filling meals out of one $13 plate of pork, rice, beans, and plantains. Absolutely delicious, the two behind the counter were so sweet and welcoming and offered me a sample of his favorite part of the pork shoulder! It was incredible! Always excited to go back here and I encourage everyone to try it!

The food here has caused me to ascend! The Cuban is the best sandwich that has ever graced my taste buds. It's perfect to split or save for later. The portions are great, the flavors blended so well together, and the bread was perfectly toasted. The owner graciously gifted me a sample of the meats she sells, and each one was delicious, with the pork being my favorite. I cannot wait to eat here as often as possible!
