Cuban Foods Bakery & Restaurant

A friend was having a Cuban cuisine gathering and rather than cook something (there's no way that I'd be able to pull it off), I found this place. It's a wonderful restaurant with generous portions. I ordered Cuban sandwiches, tostones, the potato and meat balls, and sweet platanos. Everything I ordered was well-flavored and made fresh to order. My contribution was a hit at the party! If you are in the mood for Cuban food and it not break the bank, load up here!

If you're looking for authentic Cuban food, this is your place! The Cuban sandwich is incredible. Love the sweet plantains and the croquetas de jamón are yummy. I forgot to take a picture of the flan that I had with my Cuban coffee cause it was devoured instantly! Very relaxed atmosphere. The prices are inexpensive for all the food you get. Great value!All the servers are nice and you really don't ever feel rushed. Been coming here for years & will be for as long as they're around.10/10

I was extremely surprised by this restaurant, the service was great and friendly. Such a simple looking restaurant in a strip mall. The food prices and portions are so great. The ham croquettes were yummy, and the Cubano was so good and simple that it worked great together. I didn't get to try the desserts as I was full but I definitely want to go back to try some.

I can't believe I didn't review this place right away. It's a great place if you need a little real food refuge! I came once and then brought my family- we never lived in Cuba, pero si vivimos en Costa Rica por unos cuantos años and this felt like home. Great food at great prices! I am excited to come back for my birthday. Please check them out. It's hard to find good, simple/straightforward Cuban food in Phoenix.

Our Family had lunch here today. It was our first experience with Cuban food so we have nothingto compare it to. We tried several items. It was delicious! Everyone was friendly!

We live a solid hour away from this restaurant and the food is totally worth the long drive. My wife is Cubana and she says this is as close to home cooking as you're going to find in AZ. I like that the dishes they serve are traditional...none of that modern fusion stuff. My favorite dish is the bistec (beef) empanizado. Be sure to save some room for a desert, my personal fav is chocolate cake. Also, be sure to try an Iron Beer (it's a bubble gum style soda) with your meal. You won't be sorry!

I am from central Florida and since moving to northern Arizona I have not been able to find any Cuban food. I happened upon Cuban Foods Bakery & Restaurant and was greatly impressed. Very authentic Cuban food. Excellent food, good pricing, good service. Well worth the try.

Strip mall parking with sufficient parking. Some homeless activity nearby. Restaurant is clean and the service is polite and efficient. I found the food to be quite authentic and it tasted like something I would cook for myself. I shared the Cuban Sandwich and found it pretty good. I was a little disappointed with the empanada which had very little filling - mostly empty. However the pastry reminded me of empanadas I had as a kid which I enjoyed in spite of the lack of filling. As a footnote I'll say if you haven't had Cuban food before note this is NOT Mexican food. It won't be spicy or overly seasoned. The flavors are different and more subtle.

If flavor is what you desire, look no further. Your prayers have been answered. This restaurant is what I imagined Cuban home cooked meals would be, but insanely better. We ordered the tostones with shredded beef, fried yucca served with garlic oil, and beef empanadas as appetizers. So much goodness to be found! That probably would've been enough to eat but wait there's more! My husband and also our friend both ordered the lechones plate with black bean rice and plantains (hold the salad). I decided to go out of my ordinary getting lechon or a Cubano sandwich, and instead, I ordered the Filete Relleno. This was shrimp stuffed fish and to make it even better, it was fried to perfection. I wanted to take some home to enjoy it later but my husband "stole" what seemed like half of it under the conviction that since it was fried, it wouldn't last well going home. Granted I'm not even a huge fan of fried foods purely because I feel guilty eating them, but the fried foods here were totally worth it. Do you ever have that list of "worth it" foods that you give yourself permission to enjoy? Well, most items here meet those qualifications!....which brings me to dessert. I couldn't decide on 1 so I ordered 4! Flan, and variations of flan and other cakes. My dessert tummy was on attack! The questions is not if I'm going back here. It is more of a question when. I really love this place!

This place gets better and better with time. Food was delicious. Had the steak with Moro that came with salad. Had a side of plantains. We took home some of those stuffed potatoes which are still tempting me in the fridge. Place is super clean and the servers are polite and friendly. Come by. We have to support neighborhood places
