"Everything in my order was AMAZING!! I ordered the Yuca Frita, Palomilla Steak, Empanadas and the Grilled Shredded Chicken. Every single thing was flavorful, delicious, and AUTHENTIC! Big plus on the portions and my order was neatly packaged. Wow! Will definitely order again. "
"The lunch portion Roast Pork - Lechón Asado is plenty for one person. It does get packed differently based on whose working. I like when they put it on foil because then it holds the juices in which add so much more flavor. The Chicken Soup - Sopa de pollo is mediocre at best, its very scummy and salty. I decided to get extra Sweet Plantains - Maduros but for $6+ you get 7 and the 3 that came with my lunch were bigger. The Bread Order - Orden de Pan (12 p) is worth the less than $3 it's literally 12 pieces, so good. We're prepping for Hurricane Milton so I decided to grab Empanadas (3) Chicken or Ground Beef as well plus the much needed Colada which is strong and not too sweet and arrived hot. "

"I love this local restaurant. I've been a regular since I moved to the area almost 8 years ago. The food is always on point. Great portion sizes, amazing flavors, and great prices. Their customer service is always incredible. I love their energy in the morning. Stop by and get a cafe con leche or an omlette sandwich in the morning; you'll definitely see what I mean. Little Cuban Cafe is by far my favorite Cuban restaurant. "
"Little Cuban Café is the kind of spot you stumble into once and immediately add to your regular rotation. The food tastes like someone is cooking with real care. The Cuban sandwich has that perfect balance of crisp bread and tender, well-seasoned pork. The ropa vieja is slow-cooked and full of flavor, and the maduros come out just right every time. What makes the place stand out, though, is the atmosphere. The staff greets you like they’ve known you for years, and the whole café feels warm and unforced. It’s comfortable, welcoming, and consistent in a way that’s hard to find. If you’re looking for honest, authentic Cuban food without any gimmicks, Little Cuban Café is absolutely worth the visit."

"First time and food was very tasty cafe con leche was soo good ! Only had one issue was the Cuban toast a little too hard. Next time I will say do not toast. The prices were good and I want to try their pastries. I will be ordering again. This is my new go to breakfast place!!!!"
"Coffee was not a full cup. Good but cup filled a little more than half and a bunch of foam from the milk. Guayaba y Queso / Guava and Cheese lacked filling. I mentioned this before. I probably will not order again as nothing has changed. They were running a deal so I ordered from them but will not in near future. El cubano sandwich offers a better pastelle and cafe."

"Empanadas is too small but overall good"
"Terrible quality for the price point. Few chips provided for queso, no salsa provided, and the chips they did send are stale. Ordered "empanadas" and got 1 small, dry item. Horrible value for the money. Birria tacos were burned, and quesadillas were small. Looked like a kids meal size. I used to order from here regularly but that will be the last time.
