If you’re looking for a place that instantly transports you to Havana through food, music, and atmosphere, The Cuban is a must-visit. I recently had dinner here, and I can honestly say the food was nothing short of amazing. From the moment you walk in, the vibrant décor and Latin beats set the mood, but it’s the flavors that make this restaurant truly unforgettable. We started with the empanadas, and they were perfection: crispy on the outside with a rich, flavorful filling that felt both comforting and exciting. The plantains were another standout. Sweet, caramelized, and golden-brown, they hit that perfect balance of crispy edges and soft, tender centers. They’re the kind of starter you could happily order over and over again. For the main course, I had the ropa vieja, and it absolutel

DO NOT I repeat DO NOT have a large party here or dine here on a crowded night. I hosted a surprise birthday dinner party for my boyfriend at this location, and from the very start of booking the party to the actual night of the surprise, everything was a total disaster. We went in person a few days later to speak to the manager about our experience and give feedback and request a partial refund. The manager wasn’t there that night but we were assured that he would call us so that we could discuss. Of course he never did… The first and most egregious offense was that we were sat in the second floor loft area with a leaking ceiling in the middle of the room from overflowing toilet water in the bathrooms above (see picture attached). This was actually disgusting, and food and drinks were be

★★★★★ 5.0 Varun Srikanth · Aug 2025

This place has such a fun vibe from the moment you walk in. The place gives off real Cuban energy with the decor and music. Starting off with a coconut rum drink was very refreshing and fresh never had anything as such before. We tried the empanadas and they were fresh with a flavorful twist, especially with the black bean puree on the side. The aguacate chips with Cuban-style guac were surprisingly good. I wasn’t expecting much but they were honestly a standout. We also ordered the vegetarian paella and it came out sizzling, packed with grilled veggies and full of flavor. The food overall was hot, fresh, and worth every bite. The staff inside was super friendly and warm, except for the Indian host at the front who gave us a weird look when we walked in. No smile, no greeting, just felt

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Ericka Kenan · Feb 2026

If I could give 0 stars I would. This place is not worth anyone’s time. We went out for my brother’s birthday and we had to wait nearly 3 hours for our appetizers and food. They were really good at refilling the waters- so I guess that’s worth the one star. They often forgot who asked for what drink, very unorganized. I didn’t even know which one was the waiter. When the food came out it was not worth the wait. My boyfriend’s burger was still pink and he requested well done. The food was very distasteful and everyone was highly disappointed. Especially being must of us drove a distance. We also had to request the check serval times. I’m sure there are a lot of other places in the area that are worth going to but this place is not.

★★★★★ 5.0 Megan Gill · Jul 2025

Tried Cuban food for the first time and it was an amazing experience! The portions were generous, and the flavors were incredible. Our waiter was attentive and made sure all my allergy restrictions were carefully followed. They even made us custom mocktails that were absolutely delicious. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with Spanish music playing in the background and a cozy interior that made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this place!
