“ This hidden gem is the authentic Cuban atmosphere and food you've been looking for. As soon as I walked in, it felt like I was in Miami (little Havana) and I knew that this was the place --- we were greeted as soon as we walked in and seated, now the service might be on the slower side, which is not something we mind because we are more of a "long meal" type of family, but you definitely want to factor that in if you're trying to come here in a rush. The food was absolutely delicious, my go to is of course a classic Cuban Sandwich, and I will say that the prices match not too pricey and you have space to sample a few items. This is always the first stop when my family comes into town, and every experience is as good as the last. Tip: Go on the weekends for dinner to get the full experience with live music! ”
“ Come and enjoy authentic Cuban food in a Cuban atmosphere! Unlike many "spanish" type cuisine, Cuban food uses a variety of spices, not spicy at all. Big difference, visit and enjoy! ”
“ I've been to Cuba Cafe before and can confidently say the food is always delicious and authentic. The dishes really give you a taste of the culture, and the execution is impressive. However, this visit left me with mixed feelings. First, the service wasn't the best. Our waitress was a bit standoffish--not rude, but definitely not the friendliest. It didn't feel particularly welcoming, which was disappointing. I was excited to have coffee with my meal, but their coffee maker was down. I was surprised they don't make coffee on the stovetop as a backup--especially given the importance of coffee in Cuban culture. It felt like a missed opportunity. As for the food: * House Bread: Tasted homemade and didn't even need butter. A solid 9/10 from me, 9.5/10 from my boyfriend. * Churrasco: The chimichurri was great! 8/10 from me and 8.3/10 from Dylan. * Rice & Beans: Absolutely flawless. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Easy 10/10 for both of us. * Salad: Surprisingly tasty! We both gave it a 9.4/10. * Pernil (Dylan's dish): This was the star of the meal. Incredibly soft, tender, and flavorful. 10/10 from me, 9.6/10 from Dylan. * Amarillos: Sweet and delicious! 8.2/10 from both of us. The food is undeniably good, but the prices are on the higher side. Soda was $3.95--the same price as the espresso I couldn't order. That's a bit steep, even for quality food. Overall, the food earns this place its stars, but the lackluster service and small frustrations (like no coffee options) bring the experience down a notch. If you're coming for the food, you won't be disappointed. ”
“ My husband was craving a Cuban sandwich. We hadn't been to Cuba Cafe in a while, but we needed to be in that area anyway, so it was the perfect choice. We must always go at off times 'cuz there was no one there when we walked in about 12:15, but customers were coming in as we were finishing our meal. We got an order of croquetas. They were okay, but probably wouldn't order them again. We decided to split a media noche, recommended by the waiter for the bread. I'm glad I asked for he choice, instead of just getting the regular Cuban. After much debate we settled on lechon asado, the roast pork plate. Wow! What a delicious pile of pork they served up! It came with Morros & cristianos & a lightly dressed spring green salad on the plate. Oh, there was a small basket of yummy crispy garlic toast served before the meal, too. We were too full for coffee or dessert after eating, unfortunately. I did have to take off a star for the overwhelming smell of Fabuloso when walked in. I wish restaurants would use that stuff in the evening not in the morning right before customers come in. It's overpowering & unappetizing. ”
“ Located next to my favorite chicken spot, I stopped by here for a Cubano sandwich for myself and a coworker. The service was good, and the restaurant was beautifully decorated. Ordered the Cubano sandwich, and it came with fries. It was delcious, and my co-worker also enjoyed it. We will definitely be back. ”
