Cuban Shack

This place feels like you are taking a trip to Cuba as the setup is reminiscent of something that you would see out there. Where do I begin I had myself the Cuban sandwich. It was really good and flavorful. The plantain chips weren’t the best imo I prefer normal sweet plantains as chips are dried out. I wouldn’t mind coming back here again if I was in the area for a good dish.

Ordered the steak plate. The steak was a little on the tough side, but the flavor was fine. Black beans had good texture (not mushy), and the plantains were good as well. Decent meal overall.

I was aimlessly walking in downtown Brooklyn when I stumbled upon this restaurant/cafe. Also, I was craving a Cuban sandwich and this place is my favorite go to! The Cuban sandwich was absolutely mouth watering and delicious. I didn’t get a cafe con leche to pair it unfortunately. But I will definitely be coming back again.

Visiting from D.C., I stumbled upon Cuban Shack and it instantly became the highlight of my Brooklyn trip. The flavors are authentic and full of heart—especially the slow-cooked pork. The place has a cozy, tropical vibe with upbeat music and genuinely friendly service that makes you feel right at home. Portions are generous, ingredients taste fresh, and every bite reminds you why this spot is so popular. A must-visit for anyone craving real Cuban comfort food in Brooklyn!

The best Cubano in Brooklyn. The yuca fries are delicious. Do not miss the Cuban Shack if you’re coming to NYC.
