Amazing food, and very friendly people. Anything they have will taste great, their Friday's rabo sandwich are probably one of the best ones I ever had, full of flavor, and comes with a unbelievable sauce on the side.

My pictures don’t do any justice, because I am always ready to I eat their food!! I drove past here once and became intrigued. I decided to visit and I was not disappointed. As a fellow Caribbean girl, I love to support other Caribbean businesses. The place is very clean and inviting. I also love the decorations, and even was introduced to Albisa candle business, whose candles the owner of Matanzas has displayed by the cashier. She selflessly promotes other businesses. I have tried almost every sandwich and they are all AMAZING. Their cubano sandwich is the best I have ever had. The coffee is also sooo good. This was my introduction to Cuban food, and I am happy to have tried it here. The portions are generous, every sandwich being bigger than my head. The pastelitos as fresh and tasty. The owner is very involved and she is SO nice. Not only is the food great, but the customer service is exceptional. She opened this business to honor her and her late father’s dreams, and she is doing an amazing job. All the great energy, hard work, care and love that Annarella puts into this place and recipes is evident and is felt by anyone that walks into this cafe. Matanzas Cuban Café is an ode to the owner’s late father and a love letter to Cuba and its resilient people. You are making your father proud!

Never been inside always ordered from Ubereats … and the Cuban sandwich always hits. Bread is soft, the meat (pause) is tender and buttery … the mustard is subtle the cheeese is sweet and savory … If you’re looking for a traditional Cubano.. look no further ! 💯

A cozy café with window stools along wide countertop to dine inside. Enjoy free Wi-Fi, charging station for your cell phone and help yourself to refreshing lemon water. The owner is super friendly, and there’s convenient municipal parking right across the street. Can’t wait to return!
What we ate:
Tostones con Mojo/Fried Green Pantains with Garlic Sauce. (The garlic sauce is a family recipe - absolutely delicious.)
Media Noche Pernil, ham, swiss, pickles and mustard all pressed on sweet Cuban egg bread. (everything I wanted from a Cuban sandwich, but with a softer sweeter bread.)
Papi's Pan con Lechon Roasted mojo pork and grilled onions on toasted Cuban bread.(awesome)
Cortadito Bon Bon Espresso with equal part condensed milk
Jupina - cuban pineapple soda (so good. I had to take a can home.)

Best authentic cuban sandwich you can get!

I had been searching for a “real” Cuban sandwich in Westchester, I hadn’t had a good one since working in Washington heights years ago. Mantanzas is legit! The food was excellent, the employees were very friendly and the restaurant appeared to be very clean.
My wife and I have been to a good amount of Cuban spots, but this one is the best! I definitely recommend the steak sandwich and vaca frita. Everything looks fantastic though. It’s always the small spots that have the best food . You won’t be let down on the food, kindness, and great vibes.
The food was absolutely amazing. Everything tasted like heaven. The sandwiches were absolutely amazing with everything contained being Cuban. Giving the sense of nostalgia. 10/10 easily don’t listen to the other bad reviews. I recommend everything from this place.

The food here is always fresh and high quality. The owner is extremely welcoming and provides great service. We love the food and the service and often go for the daily specials.
Annarella runs a great business and serves very high quality cuban sandwiches and platters, by far best in area. I highly recommend. Not much seating, takeout easier!
