Thank you for not disappointing. My friends and I had a girls' night, and they had not known this existed. They were happy with their meals and impressed with the place.I had been here twice, and the 3rd time was still a charm.Gives the other Cuban places a run for their money.

The restaurant is impeccable; the decor is beautiful. The staff and owner are so very polite and courteous; most important, the food is delicious and authentic, unlike many of the chain Spanish restaurants. The tostones , rice, beans, ropa vieja, monfongo and soups are all delicious and made from scratch . This restaurant is truly a gem .

We celebrated our daughter’s birthday today at Q-Ba, which has become our favorite spot since we discovered this restaurant last month. My 7 and 6 year-old granddaughters loved the food (steak, white rice and black beans). The ropa vieja is really tasty and we all love their home-made tostones, yuca frita and their special dipping sauce.We also catered our Nochebuena dinner for a party of 14. Everyone loved the food: pernil, moro, yuca con mojo and salad. Everything was delicious and the portions were very generous.We highly recommend this restaurant. The owner and staff are very attentive.Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating to kids. Their kid menu includes real Cuban dishes in a smaller portion.

Came here with a large group and was very satisfied with the food, service, and atmosphere. The food was very reasonably priced. After apps, members of my party had seafood, chicken, pork, and Cuban sandwiches. Everybody was satisfied with what they ordered. In addition to our entrees, the flan and tres leches was perfect. Thank you to QBA and to our beautiful servers !

We recently discovered this little gem...have been to Q-Ba 3 times and love the food, especially the freshly made tostones! We are Cuban, so we know good Cuban food. We decided to carter our Nochebuena dinner from here, and were not disappointed! Ordered for a party of 14 and there was enough leftovers to feed us all again on Christmas Day. The whole family was impressed with the delicious food. We had pernil, moro, yuca con mojo, tamales and salad. This has become our favorite Cuban restaurant. Ramon, the owner is very pleasant, as well as his servers, Claudia and Alan. Looking forward to having dinner at Q-Ba again for my daughter's birthday next week.

I miss southern Florida for the Cuban food and culture. Coming to QBA, great name, I ordered a Cuban Sandwich. From doing some looking in the area for an authentic Cuban Sandwich, QBA. Came out on top. The sandwich tastes great and for the area it's good. I came for lunch and was welcomed in. The restaurant/lounge has a great feel and vibe. From the Cuban flag to the artwork and music playing.

We really liked their food first time ordering and it won’t be the last. The place is very clean and cozy, the people super friendly and accommodating.We order from the lunch special and the portions are favorable and it’s all fresh in other words you get your money’s worth.The Cuban Sandwich is super big for only $9KeepIt up!!

I've been here a handful of times since the spring of 2023. The food is good, the drinks are good, the music volume is at the right level to socialize if need be. The only caveat is that after being served the Waitresses stand on guard and just stare. That can get a bit annoying and uncomfortable, that is the reason for "atmosphere 3 ⭐'s" otherwise it would have been an easy 5 ⭐'s.Overall, it is a good spot and worth coming here!
