Nelly’s Cuban Cafe

Came here for an early dinner on First Friday. We ordered the Mojo roasted pork and Ropa Vieja entrees. Both were outstanding, cooked to perfection. Portions were huge and the side of plantains was the perfect accompaniment. They sold out of the flan so we didn’t get to try it but we tried the steak and cheese empanada and it was incredible! Thank you Chris for that and for chatting about the restaurant’s beginnings. Grants Pass is lucky to have this gem of a restaurant!! We highly recommend it and hope to be back one day when traveling again to Oregon 😋

Hands down, the best coffee in town. Not your mochalattechino stuff, but actual coffee. And they offer almond milk and oat milk for those of us that can't handle real milk. My husband and I both had breakfast sandwiches, the Madrina and the chorizo& ham sandwich, and we were both completely stuffed. And we are big eaters, so that's saying a lot! Absolutely try this place for an authentic Cuban experience. You won't regret it.

Stopped here and had a feast for dinner. Service was excellent. Ropa Vieja was on point along with Rice, Black Beans, and Maduros. Husband had the Mojo Roasted Pork. Tostones are definitely worth it. The Flan though!!! Don't miss out on the Flan! Freshly made Cuban Bread is served with meals. Was really craving a Bucci or some refer to it as a Cafecito. Unfortunately, they don't pull single shots. Got a Cafe con Leche to seal the deal on my way out and it was delicious. Go there with an appetite if you haven't had Cuban Cusine in a long time because you will want it all 😊 The last time I had good Cuban food was almost 15 years ago while bouncing around Key West. Very clean and organized! Price is reasonable. I will be back the next time I am in the area.

Nelly’s Cuban Cafe is an absolute favorite! The authentic flavors and vibrant dishes transport you straight to Cuba. The service is friendly and welcoming, making every visit feel like a special treat. From the savory Ropa Vieja to the delicious plantains, everything is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The cozy atmosphere adds to the authentic experience. I highly recommend Nelly’s Cuban Cafe to anyone craving genuine Cuban cuisine — it’s a culinary delight every time. I’ll definitely be coming back!

This review is for Chris! Nelly’s was very hospitable and the food was amazing! I usually go for a condensed milk coffee, but he can convinced me to do the Canela coffee. Amazing! The Mojo pork was so delicious and the black beans were perfect with just the right amount of flavoring from the meat. If you’re in the area, stop by this little jewel!
