Cuban Restaurants near Bethesda, MD

“Food was delicious and service from the bartender, Julio, was amazing. He had great recommendations and made me feel at home. I had the Lechon which was 10/10. Very flavorful and juicy. I live far but would definitely make the drive to come back.“

“Quick, pleasant, and otherwise attentive, staff members at Colada Shop on The Wharf are consummate professionals. Even when I haven’t yet ordered, and am in line, staff prepares my order [they know my preferences] and swiftly checks me out. Coffee and food are delicious. Wonderful.“

“So delish! One of Dupont’s many hidden gems.“

“The best Cuban sandwich I've ever had! Out of three at that (one in Tampa and one in Atlanta) but still unbelievably good! Great iced coffee too. Excellent service, cozy atmosphere, good prices, and super bikeable thanks to the 14th Street NW bus/bike lanes. A real gem in Columbia Heights.“

“The chicken is always amazing!!“

“I absolutely love visiting Colada at Cabin John Village—it’s truly one of my favorite spots! The service is consistently amazing every single time I go. The team is always friendly and welcoming, and you can feel the positive energy as soon as you walk in.

I have to give a special shout-out to Enya and Melissa—they go above and beyond to make every experience exceptional. Whether it’s remembering your order, offering the perfect recommendation, or simply greeting you with a smile, they make you feel genuinely valued as a customer.

If you’re looking for great coffee, delicious bites, and the kind of service that brightens your day, Colada is the place to be. Thank you, Enya and Melissa, for always making my visits so special!“

“I have never had a bad experience at Colada Shop! I’ve also been to their locations in Crystal City and Mosaic, service and food have been impeccable at all three. The servers have all been kind and take your order with a smile. I LOVE the goat cheese croquetta salad- to die for - and my boyfriend always gets a cuban which is always great too! Their coffee is great and strong, which I like! I hate when a latte is essentially so diluted with milk you can barely taste the coffee, which has never been my experience at Colada Shop. Would eat the salad every day if I could, can’t recommend enough!“

“What a great place!! Food: delicious 💯 Place: beautiful💘 Drinks: excelent 💯 Services: Fast and Friendly 🧑‍🍳 Yes, I recommend Cuba Libre Rest. DC“

“This place is the definition of “good vibes only.” Indoor, outdoor—pick your paradise. The kind of spot where the sun hits just right, the music hums low, and life suddenly feels like it’s on vacation mode.

Ordering’s a breeze: scan the QR code, tap a few buttons, and boom—food and drinks appear like magic. No confusion, no awkward waiter hand signals, just effortless efficiency. The tacos? Flavor-packed happiness folded in a tortilla. The drinks? Cold, smooth, dangerously repeatable. The service? Chill but sharp—present when you need them, invisible when you don’t.

Final verdict: five stars. It’s not just a restaurant—it’s a mood. The kind of place that feeds your appetite and your serotonin at the same time.“
