Cuban Foodies

We were looking for a Cuban restaurant and select this one based on the yelp reviews. The food was excellent. I had the Cubano sandwich along with rice and beans. Sandwich was excellent. Really enjoyed everything and would definitely look to come back the next time. I'm in town.

I have not been here in a couple of years... Food is good, portions are ok. But today I was not happy....For a plate of Vaca Frita @$17.99, I only got three small pieces of Platano Maduros. Large portion of rice (cheap to serve), decent portion of beef, and three tiny pieces of plantain. I love Maduros... that was one of the main reasons I stopped here, they used to load it up. I guess I could have ordered a side... but for the price, that is stingy!Probably won't be back, since it is a bit of a drive.Received rude replies about my review also...

Definitely had a better experience here than the other Cuban restaurant across the street. It's a lot smaller, I would recommend getting your food to go, it's all worth it. You can sit at home while dining on some fine Cuban cuisine. The menu is limited and if you don't order ahead, it may take a minute before your meal is ready. Again, all worth it. Food is excellent, I enjoyed my mojo pork with rice and beans immensely. Of course I will be back.

Our favorite local Cuban restaurant closed after covid, and we've been looking for some good pulled pork ever since -- today we found it!! Cuban Foodies was such a pleasant experience, from the decor, music, and servers, to the amazing food. Definitely a five star experience, as I had nothing to complain about!Our server was incredibly sweet and patient with our questions, and her attentiveness through our meal was top notch -- more like we were in an expensive eatery than this smaller place in a strip mall!My wife and I both ordered the Lechon Asado (pulled pork). She chose a salad and the boiled yuca as her side, I got the black beans and yellow rice (only counts as one side!) and the vegetables. Delicious!!! The pork was tender and juicy, seasoned wonderfully. The beans and rice were cooked to perfection! My wife loved the yuca, and even the vegetables tasted delicious drizzled with a balsamic glaze.As we sat there I sent pics onto other couples we know and told them we all need to come soon -- so you KNOW we will be back!!

Very good authentic food with friendly service and nice lunch bowl specials a definite go to when in the area

Our Sunday after church with family, wife & I, eldest daughter, youngest daughter and two youngest grandkids. Visited on a recommendation from a friend and online ratings.Small but comfy, we found a table for 6 right by the window.I was surprised that a server came to wait on us. Mayte took our drink orders while we glanced at the menu. We decided on the Family Meal with Ropa Vieja and Pollo A La Plancha, with Yellow Rice and Black Beans. Grandkids also wanted Fries. We also ordered one each of Empanadas, Beef, Chicken and Spinach and an order of Mari-k-tas Plantain Chips.Shortly Mayte brought our Plantain Chips, followed by the assorted Empanadas. The Chips were great, fresh, hot and crispy. I divided the Empanadas into sections so all could try some. They were good, but not hot and had apparently been in the warmer I saw earlier. Disappointing since I was the one that really looked forward to them.Next came Cuban bread, crispy and terrific. Then our meals came. A huge bowl of yellow rice, a nice bowl of black beans, fries, and bowls of Ropa Vieja and Chicken A La Plancha. The meats were delicious, full of flavor. The rice was very good and the beans were the best I've ever had. And the fries were terrific, hot and crispy and super tasty. Bread was so tasty we had to order more.And of course Momma had to get desserts to share. The Rice Pudding was great, took me back to my childhood. The Flan was ok, not a big fan of Flan. Sadly they no longer have Tres Leche cake.The food was excellent and the service was great. Definitely the best Cuban food I've eaten in years. The only disappointment was the Empanadas. They can be pre-made and cooked fresh very quickly. But not enough to deter a 5 star rating. Another "must try" place.

Food and service wonderful. Really enjoy the cafe con leche. Ambiance -- it's a small restaurant in a strip mall.

Cuban sandwiches are always good, friendly staff and good vibes! Food is authentic and tasty.

Delicious home style Cuban food, excellent service and authentic setting. Try it, it's located behind Cracker Barrel on Hillsborough.

Great food, prices, atmosphere. Only regret is not having eaten there before. We will definitely be returning.
