Cuba Cuba Cafe & Bar

I came here during restaurant week and was so glad that I did! The interior is very cute but not overdone, the food chosen for the fixed menu was delicious! Tropical salad with pickled veggies and mango, followed by pork and grilled onions with rice, black beans and plantains. Everything was made very well and tasted great together. My server was very attentive and my plates were brought and removed quickly. Also, im not a huge fan of flan but their's was quite good!

I was in Denver visiting for a long weekend and discovered this place while looking for someplace good to eat. I hadn’t had good Cuban food in a while so I decided to try it. I was first impressed by the look of the restaurant - It’s like a cute little house! It definitely stands out with its beautiful colors and garden patio. I was surprised by how much bigger it was on the inside. I was alone so I sat by the bar in a comfy little corner by the window - It was perfect. The bartender was a Jack of all Trades that evening and served also as the waiter. He was very nice and attentive. I ordered moros, plantain chips, and empanadas. Everything was amazing and the portions were great. If I had more room in my belly, I for sure would’ve ordered more empanadas 🤤 Denver has some great hidden gems

Pro tips: 1. Leave the tostones on top of the platter so they don’t get soggy 2. Serve the tops vieja with the stew so it stays succulent during the duration of the meal. Everything was delicious and flavorful. By far the tastiest juncture of my Denver journey. This was well worth the 17 minute walk

This place is great! It always seems like everyone is happy, there. I usually get the Camarones al Coco, but I wanted to try something different on my latest visit, so I ordered the Cubano. Both are excellent. The dipping sauces you get with the Mariquitas Cuba Cuba are very tasty, as well. Sorry about the lighting in the Cubano photo. I think that was the restaurant lighting. I got it with the plantains.

Dined here a couple of times and it’s always been a good experience. The service is outstanding and the food great too, definitely worth a visit if you’re ever around.
