Very polite personnel and great attention! Loved the Cuban Sandwich!
This place is AMAZING. First time having Cuban food from a place like this and it was the best intro ever. Everything was full of flavor. The place is a little small but the food from Cubamex is totally worth it. Been telling everyone about it lol. Can’t wait to come back.
Cubamex McAllen is a hidden gem that brings the soul of Cuba straight to Texas! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with the aroma of rich Cuban coffee and the warmth of a family-run kitchen. The food is absolutely delicious—every bite tastes like home. The taste pork was tender and flavorful, the tostones perfectly crispy, the congris was una delicia, and the cafecito cubano? Pure magic. Strong, sweet, and just what you need to brighten your day.
