What a great place! Best Cubano I’ve ever had. Ropa Vieja was so flavorful. Can beans be any more delicious! And the drinks were tasty and generous. Really pretty. Perfect for date night or dinner with friends. Go!

Went here during the week after work. I had the ropa vieja & the portion size was decent & the food tasted good but is nothing to brag about. The service was less than okay. The waitress just brought out what we ordered but didn't come by to ask if we wanted anything else, such as another round of drinks. We had to call over another waiter for a refill on our water. Had the service been better I may have felt inclined to go back to this establishment.

This is a place that treats you like family, and the food is out of this world. We’ve been over ten times and will never stop going back. Best experience in my opinion is not brunch but dinner. Brunch is a party though!

My ethnicity is Cuban American and this restaurant checked off all the boxes for me.
I ordered the Oxtail which they served me 4 large pieces that were very flavorful and tender.
Yucca fries were nice and crunchy , I requested a small bowl of Cuban mojo to dip my yucca fries.
The white rice and black beans were very good.
Staff very attentive.

Cuban Cantina met my expectations. Our waiter was a young man who was very polite, charming and attentive. However there was one waitress who kept interrupting us, I'm sure she meant well though. The food was good, the croquetas are a must! My cousin and I shared a paella which was more than enough for the two of us, it was really yummy! The mojitos were really good also! Will recommend and be back to try other dishes!

We went on 6/25/25. After driving in the madness of NY looking for a Cuban restaurant, we are from Florida and visiting NY for just the day. Decided to take a family member that lives there, and the place at 1p is not open. The lady said something about the kitchen but her English was really bad and we only understood “not open”. If the restaurant is closed due to issues they should’ve updated google maps and put “closed”for that day. So people don’t waste time going to a place that is not operating. Very disappointing!
