Cuba De Ayer Restaurant

First, if you haven't been here, you must go, this restaurant is a gem, not only for their food and atmosphere, but staff are so kind♡. My husband and I have seen the Facebook reel for this restaurant, so one Saturday afternoon we decided to try them, and we are so glad we did. We enjoyed the Empanada trio...Chicken and Beef were amazing! We also enjoyed the Cameron's al Ajillo and the Rabo Encendido, both were excellent. Dessert we opted for the rum cake...light and nicely balanced with the rum sauce. Our hostess, Jennifer, was excellent. Jennifer was very helpful with helping us decide which dish to choose and very friendly. We loved sharing a couple stories with her and hearing her story as well. So happy we chose Cuba De Ayer Restaurant tonight, we will definitely be back.

Wife and I had a very nice early dinner here on a Wednesday night. The staff are very friendly and we were seated quickly and our food was also prepared promptly. We are not real familiar with Cuban cuisine but both enjoyed our dishes (one beef and one chicken). Each came with a side of rice and beans and plantains. My wife got her rice and beans “combined”, while I got mine separate. Also comes with plantains and I got the sweet ones and she got the crispy. We both agreed that we liked the sweet ones better. Topped it off with a delicious Tres Leches desert. The dinning areas are nicely configured with separation between the different rooms and also some space between the tables, which is nice. Also, we were surprised to have a musician playing on a Wednesday night, which was a ni

The smell was enticing the moment you walked in. Food was great. I loved the decor and the atmosphere. My buddy and I both found something we loved, and he said it reminded him perfectly of his grandmother's cooking.

Food was GREAT!! I would come here again. This is ropa vieja, and the empanada is an appetizer. The empanadas doesn’t come with the ropa vieja, just the empanadas is an appetizer (comes with 3 empanadas choice of meat or just cheese), that’s why I put the empanada on my plate lol🤣 also the chocolate cake and tres leches and RUM CAKE WAS DELICIOUS! Customer Service is spot on!🙂

If you are looking for good food with flavor and good service look no further. The portions of the food are nice. The oxtail is amazing and I’m not a fan of plantains but they have a fried crispy version that is AMAZING! The drinks are mixed very well and the environment of the restaurant is very chill. Also tried their marinated steak and onions with the rice & beans… every bite was GOOD!
