Cuba Cuba - Castle Rock

If you like Cuban food, you will like this place. There is a great vibe as you walk into the establishment. The music and atmosphere make you feel like you are in Cuba. In addition, I would mention that the sitting is limited, so prepare to have a wait. Service: All employees are willing to assist as I had the bartender as my waiter on this visit. She was very knowledgeable about the drinks and the menu. In addition, they were willing to accommodate all guest with big and small parties.Food: During my visit, I had Cuban sandwich, plantains and some empanadas. Everything I had was very good and well cooked. My drink was right portion of alcohol. I did get the Cuban bread pudding but was too full to eat it. But it was good the next day. Overall: I truly recommend checking this place out if you are in a mood for Cuban food. In addition, the prices are reasonable, and I really think you would like the food, vibe, and the staff.

After watching the movie Chef again,I had a powerful craving for a Cubano sandwich. Hopped I the car and drove over. It was busy, there were a few open tables and the host sat us out in the freezing patio area. After sitting there being fully ignored for about twenty minutes we got up and left.My girlfriend asked the host if it was standard procedure to seat people in the patios they intend to ignore. His response? ...."oh".They will never have to worry about us going there ever again.

When you're craving Cuban in Colorado Springs, your choices are pretty limited. Being Cuban & knowing Cuban food, you tend to be more critical than someone who didn't grow up with it. The place is super cute. I loved the decor and the vibe. Service was quick and friendly. We were a party of three. We ordered the Tostacha to start and 4 croquetas. The Tostacha was great. We enjoyed the flavor blend of the ingredients. Even the sweet beans worked well mixed with everything else. Though not totally Cuban, it all worked. This would also go great with Mariquitas. The croquetas are the frozen variety, sold in supermarkets. Ours were still cold in the middle. My husband & I shared a Vaca Frita with black beans, rice & maduros. The portion size is about 1/2 of what we are used to, but we weren't starving. So it worked out well. In Miami, we share a plate and still have leftovers. The vaca Frita was good, the maduros as well. The beans had a weird, sweet flavor that we did not enjoy. Our daughter had the Cuban Sandwich with fries which was good as well. Nicely pressed with melty cheese. For dessert we had the Tres Leche. Not Cuban at all, but we enjoy it. So decided to try. This wasn't a true Tres Leche. It provided the little something sweet that we were craving, but we weren't thrilled. All in all, this place does provide the bit of Cuban that we all crave while here. So we will return.

Whether not too crowded or when the place is packed the service is always excellent and the food delicious. Countable in the back corner for lunch was perfect to relax and enjoy!!

We tried this place once for restaurant week but finally went to dine in. Overall, the place wasn't too busy when we came around 6pm and we got seated pretty quickly. It took a little bit for the server to come take our orders but not as long as it did for her to bring a drink out :( we had to remind her about the daiquiri we ordered.We ordered mojo fries ($7), vaca frita ($22), and lechon asado ($20). I don't like beans so I subbed for slaw which got me a $2 charge. I think it's a little lame considering I was subbing but at least she did tell me ahead of time when I asked what I was able to sub with. I was a little thrown off when I got my vaca frita since the menu says steak and I saw what looked like brisket instead but the flavor was good! The plantains were a sweet burst of flavor that added to the dish really well. The lechon asado seemed to lack some flavor but I only tried a bite of it so it could've just been a spot that happened to not have as much flavor?The fries are supposedly rated the best fries in Denver and so far I can agree! The fries are garlicky and were great on their own. They didn't really need the ketchup. It came in a bowl that had a lot of fries in it. We left stuffed and satisfied. The only reason why I took off a star was because the service was kinda slow and the steak wasn't actually steak. Overall I would bring people here to try out and come back whenever in craving Cuban food!

I have to admit, I felt cheated when we walked into Cuba Cuba. I just thought they had sandwiches. They did and more - Mojitos, Ceviche & Mariquitas, Vaca Frita, Ropa Vieja. The restaurant was open and bright, a nice breeze coming through. The host checked on us a few times as well as our server. The food was hot and full of unique flavors. Both dishes had a very different flavor. We are definitely looking forward to another visit.

First visit with friends to Cuba Cuba. We loved it. We both ordered the Lechón and it was exquisite. The maduros (sweet plaintains) and the black beans tasted great as well. The ham "croquetas" were ok, with too much cumin for my taste. Excellent service and good Cuban cortado

Very atmospheric and fun decorations inside. Our waiter was kind and attentive. We told him it was our first time and he went straight into recommendations. We LOVED the food. The Vaca Frita plate was delicious! Everything is so flavorful and compliments everything else on the plate so well. The meat is so tender. Big fan. My husband ordered the cubano sandwich which was also a win. We'll definitely be back to try more!

The wife and I have been coming here since they opened. I am happy they have survived and more than that it seems they are thriving. Happy hour is 2:00-5:00 for half price Mojitos. Delicious! The real reason we come is the Cuban Sandwich. You will be hard pressed to find it's equal in the USA!!! Cheers

Amazing food & service. Waiters always have amazing personalities. The food is high caliber consistently delicious & accurate. 11/10!
