From scratch food served with a smile. The daily special was delicious; cut pork, rice, beans, and a tamal. I added a side of rice pudding to top it off and I won't need dinner. It was plenty of food! Half of a Cuban sandwich is a meal in itself. Loaded with ham and tasty mustard. Nothing is spicy but sauce is included if you'd like to spice yours up. I highly recommend giving that a shot. The prices are extremely reasonable and even a bit higher I'd still stop in. The owners are warm and inviting. A much needed addition to Penrose.

Someone recommended this place to us being that we frequent the Florida Keys. I have never had good Cuban food in Colorado until now. This place is pleasantly deceptive. Do not judge on appearance of the place. You owe it to yourself. Although the appearance isn't bad. Its just unconventional. Going in, it is squeaky clean. There are no heavy oil smells as Someone else suggested. We ordered cafe con leche. It was good. Very close to the real deal. We got some tostones. It was close enough to Cuban bread. The spinach empanada was a winner. We also ordered a Cuban mix and a midnight sandwich. The Cuban mix was perfection. Rhe bread was close but the way the sandwich was crafted was authentic. The people of Penrose are lucky to have some rich culture in their town. We also ordered a few mango

The food was good. Sandwiches were huge! And not too expensive. The beef balls were good and crispy. Unfortunately the empanadas were old hard and inedible but they gave us an extra beef ball in the order so I’m not too upset. The ice cream was good and only $2! It was the perfect little desert. The lobby was inviting and the people were friendly. My only thing about the lobby was that once I left with my order, I had to shower and change my clothes due to the very strong cooking oil smell that stuck to me. I will definitely go back though. The sandwiches were excellent!

Soo good! Service was great! We have been in person and ordered through doordash and both times we were super satisfied! Midnight sandwich is soooo good! Potato balls are also delicious, plantains are so good. Any time we have eaten here everything has been delicious, hot and fresh.

Passing through Penrose and the Cuban Cafe was recommended by multiple people. Let me tell you it lives up to the hype. Absolutely fantastic Cuban food. The service was quick and the ladies were incredibly nice and inviting. My wife and I shared the Cuban sandwich, a cream cheese pastry and the beef and potato ball. The Cuban sandwich might be the best I’ve eaten. The pastry was flaky and warm. I almost forgot to mention the wonderful Cuban coffee. I’d leave multiple 5 star reviews if I could. DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE!
