El Cubano

What a beautiful environment! Not only is the food really good and very fresh, but the owners are also kind and welcoming. You can feel that warmth in the way the regulars greet everyone and, in my case, welcomed me as a first-time customer. This time I had a vegetarian dish (plantains, rice, and beans, tostones, salad), it was very good!

Delicious food. Love the appetizer sample platter... we were able to try them all and find our favorite (the empanada). We both had the Cuban sandwich since that is what we were searching for when this place came up. We both loved it. The pork was so full of delicious flavor. The restaurant was rather small and bland but they made up for that in serving great food!!! We will definitely be back!!!

Waaooow, cute place, kind service, great food! Worth the price and you get decent portions! ☺️🫶🏽 Will come support again

Wonderful friendly & welcoming staff. Great value and nice big portions. We split: - roast pork tostones (5/5 stars, loved the cilantro lime sauce) - ropa vieja (5/5 stars, very flavorful) - the Cubano (3.5 stars a little disappointed the pork was kind of dry and wished for more mustard or sauce)

I had driven by this spot several times while in St. Paul and was drawn to the colorful umbrellas on the patio. It looks so festive. We popped in for lunch and I’m so glad we did. The service was friendly and helpful. You order at the counter, find a seat and they bring it to you. There’s seating inside and on both the front and back patios. We split the Cuban sandwich, which was delectable, the Plantains and the Loaded Tostones. They served it all with 3 sauces, one being a spicy creation made by their mom. So good. Highly recommend. We had so much to take home so go hungry.
