1928 Cuban Bistro - Jacksonville Beach

Cuban breakfast and sandwich shop. Order at the counter and they bring it to you. The breakfast or lunch sandwiches are pressed and good size. They also have empanadas or pastries and sides, like tequenos and queso fritas. If you order sides or dessert, you might want to share the sandwich. The Cuban sandwich was very good. The tuna melt was tasty tuna but the tuna was not hot and the cheese was not melted, it was just pressed enough to toast the bread. The salad was generic and I would not order again, mostly because there are just so many other better options here. Desserts are great too. The strawberry tres leches was tasty and different and about three portions. The key lime pie was a cheesecake layer and just enough key lime to add some tartness without being overdone. Lots of

We love this place so much. Every time we come they are so welcoming! Our daughter loves their food and the staff always are so engaging with her. Will keep coming back for the good food, good vibes and good drinks!!!!

2 Cuban sandwiches, Cuban sloppy joes and La Havana salad add beef. We dipped off the interstate for this and personally I loved my salad and yucca fries.

I ordered the shrimp empanada and a dirty chai latte, and both were excellent — but that shrimp empanada really stood out. The empanada itself was perfectly cooked, but the green sauce that came with it was the star of the show for me. I’m not 100% sure what it is (possibly a cilantro-based sauce?), but whatever it was, it was incredible. I honestly could’ve eaten it with everything on the menu. The dirty chai latte was also spot on — smooth, not overly sweet, and a great pairing with the food. You can tell there’s real care put into both the drinks and the dishes here. The service was just as good as the food. The servers were personable, patient, and genuinely w

I am from Miami so I was very hesitant to initially try it. However, it is the real deal. There isn’t anything I have not loved! The ropa vieja tastes like my grandmother’s cooking. Great rice and beans too. All the pastelitos (pastries) are perfect and I love their sandwiches. The coffee quality is like the cafes I grew up around. We have really enjoyed their seasonal guava offerings such as the watermelon and guava salad (pictured) and the Guava Matcha latte.
