I didn't like those, those aren't Cuban flavors, the fried and breaded yucca wasn't what I expected.

Lovely spot with incredible Cuban food. They give you so much food and it all tastes so fresh. The coffee with a Cubano is a great lunch or way to end the day

We went to this place because I found it on Google Maps and I thought it had a good rating (4.7) but unfortunately my friend and I ordered 2 Cuban sandwiches and the meat was bad. Leftover meat, we didn't finish eating it and despite that it hurt us.

Great service and extremely authentic food! Love the music they play here and beans/rice are reminiscent of the luncheonettes in NJ and Miami. Glad to have a spot that serves truly delicious Cuban food and good coffee to finish the meal :)

Best Cubano in the city. The croquetas are good and the bacaloaitos are really good too. I like it there. The owner is a great guy too.

Vegetarian options: Ask for what you want. They'll accommodate as best they are able

Food was AMAZING! I got the "Con Pollo" sandwich and it was a 10/10! Coffee was delicious along with the Maduro Muffins went perfectly with it.

Cuban food is one of my favorites and sadly there aren’t enough Cuban restaurants in the area, which makes Benny’s a must try. I got the ropa vieja with rice and beans and a side of croquetas to go. The ropa vieja itself was good but not my favorite. The beans were perfect and exactly what I would expect from a Cuban restaurant. I wish I lived closer so I could get the croquetas like everyday for breakfast. Prices are truly a great value for what you’re getting. I’ll def be back to try more things on the menu!

Delicious food and friendly staff! Highly recommend the vegan tacos, empanadas and friend rice. The garlic and special sauces added so much flavor.

Vegetarian options: Many things on the menu come with a vegan option (usually fried plantains).

I found out about this Cuban restaurant through Instagram, and I finally had the opportunity to go try it. I ordered the Ropa Vieja with rice, beans, and sweet plantains. The food was excellent. It tasted like a home cook meal. I would definitely like to come back and try their famous cuban sandwich. I recommend giving this restaurant a try if you're in the area.???

I am Cuban myself, and the dishes did not taste like home, but I will say that the best part was having a café con Leche and the butter garlic pan de Manteca bread.
The service could have been better. My friend and I were the only guest at the cafe and service was not to my expectations.
I would come back to try dinner menu and hoping it was better than the breakfast menu.
