Mi Sueño Cuban Express

This was my second time here and I left underwhelmed.The service was not as nice and the food wasn't as good as the first time. The black beans were still delicious and on par with what I had the first time.

The food here is delicious and *plentiful* (I sometimes get three meals out of a single serving), and I've found the service to be consistently friendly and attentive.As much as I like it here, though, I will say that each of the entrees is slightly imperfect in its own way. The fajita chicken is almost always a touch overcooked (I've actually stopped ordering it for this reason), the ropa is a often shredded a little too thin, and lamb shank can be on the dry side. Somehow, though, I still always end up satisfied with my meal, as the flavors are hard to beat.

Holy smokes-a-mole. When our first choice for Cuban food was unavailable, we stopped by Mi Sueño Cuban Express as a consolation prize. We soon discovered the error of our thinking - Mi Sueño Cuban Express should have been our first choice, and will be henceforth.Picture Chipotle, but for Cuban food. Choose your rice (there are FOUR kinds!!), protein, and toppings/sides, and prepare to devour some of the best Cuban food you've had.For vegetarians, instead of picking from the meat options, one can choose either 3 or 4 sides. At the (spot on) suggestion of the incredibly lovely and helpful woman who was manning the front, we tried the yellow rice, black beans, chick peas, yuca, plantains, and potatoes. Giant portion sizes, and truly delicious food.Mi Sueño Cuban Express truly is a Cuban dream, one I can't wait to experience again.

Wow YUM! If you are looking for some tasty and quick food that isn't "fast food" then this is the place. I ordered the lamb shank with congris (sp?) rice and it had some kind of gravy that he put across it which was delicious. I also received 4 pretty big pieces of fried plantains. It was around $16 for the meal and it lasted me through two meals - lunch when I picked it up and dinner that night from the left overs. So about $8 / meal which is a good deal as it was filling. It may look a little scary from the outside but it is worth going in an getting an order. You can always carry it out!

Divey Cuban fast food that comes out of warming trays? Oooooh yeah. Best believe it. It's so good! I'm here VERY often. Have been since they opened years ago. Not one time have I been disappointed in the food. It's pretty dang consistent and very tasty. The food is very rustic here. We are talking about basically everything braised on the bone. The lamb... oh my dangggg! And then the Lechon Asados with yellow rice is another power move. The Maduros are usually good, but sometimes it hangs out in the case for a little too long. Oh well. Still good. They actually have some really good roasted gold potatoes. Get them. I almost forgot to mention pricing! Dude... A 2 lb feast and a drink for like 14 bucks. Insane. Throw in a piece of guava cake or chocolate flan and you're STILL under 20 bones. If you're just south of the highlands, go swing through. You'll have a meal in under 5 minutes. Rad.

Oh my, this food brought me to a happy place. This was one of the best lunches I've had in quite some time.Mi Sueno Cuban Express -- thank you so much!I ordered delivery via the Yelp app, and my dish arrived hot. It was just *chef's kiss.*I got the ropa vieja after reading so many great reviews. This was by far the star of the dish. It was so full of flavor and fall-apart tender. It was a rather large portion, and I had planned to save some for another meal -- but that quickly became not an option after tasting it. Along with it, I got yellow rice, which was a great compliment and also full of flavor. And the maduro! These plantains were sweet and soft without being mushy. I think I was a bit food drunk after eating this. I know this review is just full of gush -- but I'm 100 percent sincere with all my praise. This. Was. Fantastic. And for $10.99, you can't beat the price. I will be back here and telling folks about this for awhile.

I normally bring my lunch to work. I left it on the table this morning. I didn't want McDonald's or fast food. So I got on Yelp and looked at delivery options. I decided I would give this place a try. Thinking I will just eat a sandwich I ordered the Sandwich Cubano. Deliver was spot on! Good job! The heft of the bag made me wonder! I opened the box to see not a lunch meal but a feast! The fries were ample but the sandwich was where the heft came through. It was still hot!!! I have tried Cuban sandwiches and never was over impressed. They were okay. But they never made me wanting more. I always put it to where I ordered them. This was out of this world! The meats on here shined and the bread complimented the meats. It was delicious. Oh let me tell you the fries. Oh my the fries were perfect! I don't know how much should I can rave!!!!! Seriously of the experiences I have had, this one here I will be talking about for a long long time. They did it right. Top shelf service, great food and one satisfied fat boy!

New management, maybe? Used to frequent Mi Sueño but hadn't been in a while. No longer had a menu hanging up or the same desserts. I think the prices have increased quite a bit, and the green beans have changed (not for the better, unfortunately).I came by for lunch and got the ropa vieja, cilantro rice, green beans, plantains, and a Diet Coke. It was more than $16. The green beans and plantains weren't great, but the beef and rice was excellent. Very cold inside, staff were nice.

WOW ! Ordered catering for work. Absolutley fabulous. Lazaro, the owner delivered it himself. The Ropa Viejo, chicken fajita (not like you think) and the pork fricase spot on. All of the sides were perfect and the quantity was very generous.

Food is great!!The customer service is even better.Great little spot with really good Cuban food. For sure will be coming back.
