This is my favorite restaurant. I have dined in several times, and we order to pick up often as well. We don't even live in the neighborhood. It's a 25-minute drive and worth it every time!

Packaging was impressive, everything saran wrapped to prevent leaking which was necessary.
Picadillo plate - I thought I could ignore the reviews about the food not being authentic not meaning it wasn't good; I was so wrong. Bland is the word and overcooked; if you like no flavor, no richness of a little fat, limited ingredients, and 0 salt you might enjoy it.
In a nutshell, this is ground beef soup with some yucca pieces and chopped unripe raw tomatoes tossed in, no olives, no sofrito, no raisins, you get the picture.
Don't get me started on the rice and beans.
Salt and pepper did not fix the problems.
Portion size was ok for 1 small appetite person.
Spinach Sauteed - for the price you usually expect fresh garlic or onion or sofrito and it to fill up the small container. It did not.
Smoothie strawberry and guava - not worth the price for the small size, especially as fruit pulp was used not fresh. How do you tell? No tiny seeds. It was tasty but tasted mostly of strawberry.
Small mango salsa cup - this could have been awesome if the ingredients were ripe.

Awesome food, slow service. But I can’t get mad because there was only one waiter for the whole restaurant. The restaurant is small, but has the cutest Cuban theme, wonderful music, great cocktails, and great food. I’m really surprised that this place only has 4.2 Stars. I will absolutely come back, I will just make sure that I’m not in a rush to go anywhere after our meal because service might be slow.

Very charming restaurant with Carribean vibes. When I got there it took a while for someone to take my order. They have a good Happy Hour. I got the Media Noche, which technically was half of a Cuban Sandwich, being that a Media Niche is made with a different kind of bread. It came with some greens and a salad made with Corn and Chickpeas. The Pork in the sandwich was good and plentiful but the dressing on it made the bread a little wet. The Mezcal Paloma was 😋. I loved the decorations here. The music was good. I would come back to try other menu items. The person that waited on me was very pleasant.

It’s a cozy Cuban-style cafe with tasty food, good service, and reasonable prices.
I tried Chicken Sauteed Onions Plato with peppers and mango, which came with rice and beans as a side. The colorful visual of the dish continued in taste, creating sweet and savory flavors. Interior with Cuban decorative elements emphasized the Cuban character and teleported me to the old Havana.
Overall, it’s a good place for a quick and delicious meal.

Food is ok, but not authentic Cuban food. Drinks are good depending who is bartending, but manager is rude to the staff and the customers. Not worth it unless you like seeing workplace abuse while you eat.

We ate a shrimp burrito, lemonades and a quesadilla and each thing was tastier than the last. Extra point for the musical selection and atmosphere.

My husband and I ordered the 1/2 rotisserie chicken with rice and beans + Maduros for pick up. It was absolutely amazing. The chicken fell right off the bone and was FULL of flavor. The rice and beans were also full of flavor. Maduros are always amazing. Highly recommend cubana cafe!!
