“ Delicioso grilled chicken sandwich, a really good experience! ”
“ Friendly service and great food! I’m happy La Cubanita Cafe is still here after over ten years! ”
“ This establishment was exceptional. The Cuban sandwich was among the best I have ever had. The bread was exemplary, delicious traditional Cuban bread. The pork was incredibly tender and flavorful, easily falling apart. I took half of the sandwich with me, and even when it is cold from the refrigerator, it remains excellent. The red beans and rice were another notable option. The menu offers numerous combinations. I opted for yellow rice and pinto beans, topped with some Frank's Red Hot sauce, and finished the entire dish. Additionally, I sampled a watermelon soda. It was unique but enjoyable. I am sad I do not have enough time to go back again! Next Trip!! ”
“ Great coffee, and great food, they always give good portion sizes. The staff is incredibly friendly and always smiling. The interior is also very nice, they have a beautiful mural on one of the walls, they also have these very nice hand written menus they hang on the wall. All the items on the menu I feel are very fairly priced and even a bargain to be honest. I highly recommend this place and anyone in the area should stop by an give it a try. ”
“ I had a great experience at La Cubanita! The Cuban Special was delicious, especially with the ham croquette inside, and you really can’t beat the value for the price. The atmosphere is vibrant and feels authentically Cuban, and the service was top-notch with friendly staff who made me feel welcome. While the stuffed potato wasn’t my favorite, the Cuban sandwich more than made up for it. I’ll definitely be coming back for the food and the warm, inviting vibe! ”
