DeBorincuba

Pretty solid steak sandwich and empanadas. Meat is higher quality than you would think and has great flavor. Fast friendly service

My mom and I were in the neighborhood walking the dog and searching on google for a place to drink a coffee we found Deborincuba. We were not hungry since we ate before but were craving some coffee so we stopped here and decided to also add some empanadas as snacks. The restaurant wasn't busy so it didn't take long although they do have a sign saying to please be patient because everything its make at the moment so it might takes a little longer. My mom order a beef empanada and I ordered a Chicken one. When the snacks and coffee arrived I was actually in shock of how AMAZING this empanadas tasted. It had meat from the beginning to the end, no gap in between. Since they made this empanadas fresh, they were warm and it also comes with a mayoketchup sauce. Coffee was also very good, it was truly a real Cuban cafe con leche. We decided to placed an order of some pastry that reminds me a puerto rico desert call pastelillos de guayaba (Guava puff ) but this one were different, they were like a tortillas shapes, it call besitos tropical with a side of guava. When I am telling those things were AMAZING it was because they were amazing. We couldn't stop eating them, so addicting. The owner also came to talk with us for a bit, a very lovely lady, she is half cuban and half puertorican so she has the best of both world. In overall I give this place 10/10. Only subjection I would give its to maybe change the glass tint on front, you can't barely see inside so you are not sure if they were open or close until you actually push the door. Other than that highly recommended, next time we need to go back to order food since we didn't this time.

Went there for dinner. Had lechon w:congri. It came with potato salad and two pieces of garlic bread. It was amazing! Lechon was super tender, flavorful, and not greasy. I also had an empanada de pollo which was also quite tasty. The restaurant is set up more for take out than it is for dine-in. Alberto and his wife are kind owners and good people: Oh yeah... We got to try a guava desert item that was out of this world! Can't wait to try breakfast and lunch in the future. They also cater out and can host parties if you're interested. Check them out!

One of the best steak sandwiches I've ever eaten. Meat was super tender and the flavor was perfectly balanced between the sauce, the tomatoes, and the onions. Toasting the bread was chefs kiss! Need to go back to try everything else!

Had a lechon jibarito with a Beef Empanada, food was amazing , best lechon sandwich I ever had , also the plantain was cooked thin and crispy, exactly how it should be, sandwich was bomb as f%^*! Definitely 100% recommend this place . Everything cooked fresh .

Nice business... Affordable, delicious food!Husband got the steak sandwich... Really good! I got a half pound of the pork that was tasty... Some pieces a bit dry but overall a steal! We also got casava... I could have ate those all night .We will be back for sure!

Absolute treat to dine here. The seasonings, portions, presentation and overall quality is excellent. We live far south but manage to come up as much as we can. The restaurant has a family feel which makes you feel very welcomed. Just be aware that if you order anything you'll be sure to finish it happily and order some to go too Side affects are sleepiness and might need to be rolled out of there with a full, happy belly.

Inspired by a NYTImes review of a Bronx restaurant that serves incredible pork, I did a Yelp search on "lechon" and came up with this 2-1/2-month-old restaurant. Thank you Yelp reviewers!A bit past noon, we walked into a nearly empty dining room. It was immediately filled by the warm hospitality of two women who greeted us like long-lost relatives. They sat us down, took us through the menu, made a couple of recommendations, then got to cooking. The food: piping hot, huge portions, very flavorful. My wife loved the Puerto Rican chicken stew; I had the same reaction to my roast pork sandwich. The only thing we finished were the empanadas--they were simply too good to leave any behind. Our gracious hosts treated us to a dessert of powdered chips and a homemade guava dipping sauce--fabulous! Service: attentive. Value: we took home as much food as we ate!

Huge fan of the jibaritos & Cuban coffee. The customer service has been a 10/10 every visit. Highly recommend. Hidden gem on Fullerton Ave.

I am so happy I now know DeBorincuba! The food is outstanding. It is also a little different from the usual places, which is refreshing. The steak Jibarito is FANTASTIC! The shrimp, beef and Cuban empanadas are awesome. I lived the Cuban and Puerto Rican rice equally. I would not know how to pick between them. And the Besitos! Where has homemade guava sauce been all my life. The perfect crunch and sauce. Wonderful food! ​
