It has been a long time since I last reviewed Old San Juan Cuban Cuisine. The owners have changed. The new owners have kept up the quality and even added to the menu selection.This is a wonderful place. Great food. And, real cubancoffee. I get the coffee with milk - maybe I'm a wimp, but it is perfect for me.The proprietors are wonderful.I highly recommend it. It may be a bit different than what most locals are used to. It is worth visiting and opening your experiences.

The food is made to order. So the wait is worth it. The black been and white rice combination just hits the right spot.

You know it's legit when they are offering money orders. My husband got the Cuban, I got the Ropa Vieja. The Ropa Vieja was excellent. Very flavorful and tasted fresh. The rice and beans were a little bland but well cooked. The Cuban came out fast, but the cheese hadn't really melted at all. The flavors all felt a little rushed, pre-packaged, even. The restaurant is very simple, and features a store of Latin goodies in the back. We will definitely visit again to try the empanadas.

I had a summer Friday off and decided today was the day that I tried this restaurant!I am so happy I did, I had a late lunch and was the only one in the place, everyone I encountered was kind helpful. I looked at the menu but already knew I was ordering a Cuban sandwich. They had many favors of Jarritos I was happy before I even got food! I got an amazing sandwich with pork and cheese, and enough for 2 servings. I really felt like I was in Miami where I had my somewhat authentic in the US Cuban.They had a huge take out business, that means the folks working in the offices around them approve. I did not try any of the side dishes, but that is a reason to go back.The location was easy to get to with easy parking, the staff was friendly and make you feel like family. This is a bit of out of the way for me, but I will be back.

Their desserts are incredible, too. The tre's leche cake is amazing. If you're looking for some authentic and delicious cuban food, this is the place.

I've had the sandwiches from here and a couple entree's but their claim to fame for me was the fresh strawberry cake. There was a slight language ppl

Authentic Cuban cuisine made by real Cuban cooks. I felt like I was back in Cuba, eating shredded beef, green plantains, rice and beans. I couldn't have wished for a better experience. Great service and a really cute little restaurant. I loved the plants and the mini grocery store as well.

I wanted a quick meal, having cleaned out my perishable food for an impending vacation. I ordered online, and mine was ready when they said it would be, no sooner and no later. It seemed like some time was spent cooking it right. What I got was a grilled sandwich that seemed kind of like a panini with beans, cheese, and vegetables. There was a hint of spice, and the bread was delectably crisp. It was one of those things that I inevitably ending up burning my tongue on slightly because I wanted to eat it at peak freshness.They had a couple of decent-looking vegetarian options (most with Swiss cheese, and only the sandwiches rather than the entrees), which some of these sorts of restaurants do not. Do I need to be paying $10 for a sandwich? Not every day, but I like the fact that this place adds a different flavor to the Lexington scene, and I will likely be back and get some tostones with my next sandwich.

The sandwich was huge and delicious! I had the vegetarian frijolada. My friend had two empanadas (one chicken and one beef) and chicken croquettes. She also said hers were good! You'll fare a bit better if you know a little Spanish! I know just enough to be polite.Visit them--it was clean. The food was delicious and good service.

This place has great food- but I won't go there cuz it's next to a bar that OVER SERVES its customers and I almost got hit by one man in his truck. At a time when most people haven't been drinking, like 3:00 in the afternoon.
