Romeito Cuban Restaurant

When my friend and I walked in I noticed the nice vibes. The friendly hostess directed us to our table and on the way there I noticed the waiter doing a happy dance which put a smile on my face. I already like this place and I haven't even tried the food yet. I also like it when the staff seem to really love their job. The nice waiter came and took our order. I ordered a sangria, platano maduro frito (fried sweet plantains) for an appetizer and the sandwich cubano. Everything was amazing! Nice size sangria. The plantains came with a dipping sauce which was really delicious. Big portion too. Loved the cubano sandwich. It was really tasty. Excellent Cuban bread. I am so glad I didn't order fries because I was stuffed and I only ate half a sandwich with leftover plantains. My favorite thing I had was the sandwich but everything was good. This was my first time trying Cuban food and I will definitely be back to try other things. I love this happy place.

I LOOOOOVE a good Cuban sandwich, and appreciate almost all Cuban food, so when my aunt invited me here for lunch for my first-ever visit last week, I was pretty excited! First off, I had no idea this place was here! However, upon seeing the depth and history of reviews on Yelp, it appears I'm about the last person in southwest KC to figure it out, so that's a positive!We entered just after opening on a weekday for lunch, and there were a handful of other parties already there. I'm glad we arrived early, as they definitely had a bit of a lunch rush a few minutes later!The dining room was much larger than the strip-mall location makes it appear, and was festive and clean!Our waitress was joined by a new-hire trainee, and both of them were absolutely wonderful! They walked me through some favorites and popular items, which I'm always grateful for on a first visit!Although the menu was pretty expansive, and I was definitely tempted to go in any of a dozen different directions, I HAD to start my Romeito journey with my Cuban go-to: the Cuban sammy, of course!Of note on the menu: they have a Cuban flag next to any item on the menu that denotes a traditional Cuban dish or meal! Very nice!We were served just a few moments after we ordered, and the presentation of my Cuban sandwich was beautiful! My aunt's dish was also very appealing! And, most important of all: everything was absolutely delicious!!My first experience here was absolutely wonderful, and I'll be back very soon and often!Food = 5/5Facility = 3/5Service = 5/5Ambiance = 4/5Value = 4/5

Whenever I used to desire Cuban food, I would make the trek down to Blue Caribe in KCK. Unfortunately, they closed. A friend of mine called me a few months ago and told me there was a new Cuban restaurant where my favorite Mexican restaurant was, so I decided to meet him there for lunch.First off, the restaurant is nicely appointed and very colorful. The seating is comfortable and the place is spotless. I was greeted right away by a friendly lady who turned out to also be our server. She gets people out of their shell with her banter, which I love. Most places these days hire waitstaff that would rather text you and not make eye contact, so I find this refreshing. The food is great! Some people think that Cuban food is bland, but they don't have the palate to enjoy well prepared food. I had gastric issues for a while and Cuban is the only Latin food that I could eat. My favorites are the Lechon Asado and the Cubano sandwich, they are simply delicious. Since the first time I came in, I've been back 8 or 9 times and I have yet to find something that I don't like.In summation, Romeito is a great local gem that deserves your patronage.

Location: Olathe, very close to Lenexa, Kansas.Ambiance: indoor seating. Beautiful place with cuban-miami vibe. Paintings and sculptures dedicated to Cuba. It really feels like being in South Florida.Food: Delicious. It's definitely the best Cuban food in this area. Sorry, "la cubana" but there is comparison. Big portions. 1 main dish is enough for 2 people.Beef was moist and well seasoned. Rice was grainy, and plantains were delicious.Pork was also perfectly cooked.Price is not cheap per dish, but if you take into consideration that 1 plate can be shared for 2 people, then certainly it is a very affordable place.Juices were also delicious. Multiple tropical fruits available.Flan was good. Maybe the croquetas were slightly dry. Overall the food here is outstanding.Service: The best that you can get. They are always smiling and ready to serve you.Yelp factor: best Cuban restaurant of this part of the country. We do not have many options, but this restaurant is top-notch. I've been to worse places in South florida. If you want to drink, don't forget to try a mojito.I can't wait to go back to this place...

Believe the reviews - this place IS a hidden gem. One bite in on all of four of our meals and we were already talking about coming back. Three of us focused on the dinner entrees and one wasn't going to pass up the opportunity for a Cubano sandwich. We enjoyed two of the Tuesday specials: Carne con Papas & Lechon Asado and the 4th member of our party had the 1/2 Pollo Desguesado. Plenty to eat all around. From the food to the decor to the staff it was a great 1st impression. If we lived closer we would be going here all the time. I think Romeito will be in our favorite restaurant rotation. If you are food adventurous or wondering where you can get great (in our opinion) Cuban food then look no further and get yourself to Romeito!

Not everything here is great but the recommendations are incredible. If you have ever wondered what Cuban food should taste like you should come.

3 stars because of only 1waitress working lunch!!Other employees were walking around in the dining room but no one would help the waitress! Unbelievable. I mean isn't that customer service 101? When the place is full it should be "All hands on deck"!!!The food was okay. Not much flavor. Probably would not go back.

Excellent food and great service. Our group all got different things and sampled each other's food. Everything tasted incredible! There was a steady lunch crowd but the service was fast and friendly. This will definitely become a regular haunt.

Best Cuban food I have had outside of Florida.Wish they were closer to where I lived.But worth the drive.

The food and service at Romeito are outstanding! We've been a couple times and look forward to returning many more.
