As someone with Cuban roots and having grown up in Miami, I was excited to try 1492 Cuban Restaurant. This spot has potential, but there are some hits and misses that you should know about.Let's start with the positives--the ambiance here is spot on. The small, intimate setting really adds to the experience, and you can feel the Cuban history and culture infused into the atmosphere. It's like a little slice of Havana in the area, which is something I always appreciate.I opted for the bistec with black beans and rice, and while the dish had the classic flavors I love, it didn't quite hit the mark. The steak was a bit on the chewy side, and while the beans and rice were solid, they didn't have the punch I was hoping for. Don't get me wrong, it's still enjoyable, especially if you're in the mood for some comfort food with a Cuban twist.Overall, 1492 is a decent spot with a lot of potential. If you're in the area and craving Cuban food, it's worth a try. Just don't expect it to be the ultimate Cuban experience. With a few tweaks, this place could really shine, but for now, it lands at three stars for me.

I stopped by and picked up the 6 inch Ropa Vieja sandwich an order of yuca and one guava pastry. Pictured is only half of the sandwich and half of the yuca. I was able to get two meals out of it. I also ordered the café Cortado and that was good too.Everything was good, but I'm only giving it four stars because I think they could've added more meat to the sandwich.

Stopped by for lunch on a Saturday afternoon.I absolutely love their warm French fries with the white sauce. The chicken sandwich was decent but I added the white sauce because it was dry and a little hard.

I have no idea how this place has 5 stars. We ordered delivery and ordered masas de puerco, lechón, and skirt steak as entrees. 3 empanadas from the appetizer menu plus 1 extra empanada, a side of white rice and a side of tostones. The masas de puerco were inedible. They were over fried, dry and tasteless. Usually masas de puerco are crunchy on the inside with a soft tender inside. This was not that. This at best was really bad chicharrón. They forgot the order of empanadas and the one they did sent was dry. The skirt steak was a solid 3, the lechón a solid 4. If you order those I guess you'll be fine. But avoid ordering from here altogether, there's so many better Cuban options in the city.

I've been wanting to venture out and try new cuisines so my boyfriend and I decided to come to 1492 Cuban Fusion based on their great reviews. For the appetizer, we ordered the empanada trio (chicken, pork, and veggie). They were okay. The chicken was a bit dry but we added the chimichurri sauce to it and that elevated the chicken empanada. For our meals, I ordered the Chuletas Ahumadas (smoked pork chops) with yellow rice and sweet friend plantains. The pork chops were very flavorful and tender! Enjoyed every bite! The yellow rice was good as well as the plantains. My boyfriend ordered the Ropa Vieja with Congri rice and sweet fried plantains and he loved his food. I tasted his congri rice and it was packed with flavor! He also ordered a virgin piña colada and said it was made very well. I had café con leche (coffee with milk) after my food and the coffee was excellent! I'm happy they have non dairy alternatives. I ordered my coffee with almond milk. If this restaurant was closer, I would definitely grab my morning cup of coffee from here! The waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I appreciated her honesty and how she's tried several items on the menu. This made our experience that much better. Overall ratings:Service 5/5Empanadas 3/5Chuletas Ahumadas 4/5Ropa Vieja 5/5Virgin Piña Colada 5/5Café con Leche 5/5Will return to try the sandwiches! I saw quite a few people ordering those.

They lost their touch. Their Cuban sandwich used to be loaded with juicy, flavorful pork. Now they are skimping on their meat portions, and it's so dry. So sad because I really loved their Cuban sandwich!

The food was absolutely amazing. I ordered the Ropa Veija with white rice and black beans and it was perfectly. I also ordered the trio empanadas and they were pretty good. Ambiance is very vibrant and fun. Trust me you need to try the food here. I left very happy.I also got the cafe con leche and cheese and guava pastry. Both had a subtle hint of sweetness but still very flavorful
