I drove by this hidden gem weeks ago and finally was able to stop in for lunch today. I gotta say that this is some of the best tasting food I have experienced in Minnesota since returning home. I tried the Picadillo meal which was perfectly seasoned and not over salted like some places do. The rice was a perfect consistency and a freshy made salsa added a little kick to the meal. The customer service was top notch and I will definitely be back to try some of the other menu...read full review

El Cubano is a restaurant known for its fast and friendly service, offering large portions and delicious Cuban food. The Picadillo meal is specifically mentioned as being perfectly seasoned, not over-salted, and served with well-cooked rice and a fresh salsa that adds a nice kick. The restaurant has a warm Caribbean atmosphere, with a well-designed interior that enhances the dining experience. Customers often praise the staff for being professional, familiar, and very kind, making visitors feel welcome. Many reviews mention the food's rich flavor, with dishes like the traditional stew (sancocho), bistec encebollado, loaded tostones, and loaded yuca, all bursting with authentic Caribbean taste. The roast pork, especially in the El guajiro dish, is tender enough to eat without a knife. The restaurant offers good-sized portions for the price, and some customers say it reminds them of visiting family or being back home in the Caribbean. The only downside noted is that it is not open every day of the week. Overall, El Cubano is considered a hidden gem in Minnesota for those craving authentic Latin Caribbean cuisine.
