Saw their promotion for the Savor Bethesda Restaurant Week. There were just four patrons for weekday lunch. The three-course came with: 1. Three pieces Big Tequenos (instead of five pieces on the regular menu). 2. Arepa (the bun; not the Burger). 3. Cuban Flan (to choose vanilla or coconut). The decorations and table settings looked pleasant. The food quality was above average. The service was quick and professional. Highly recommended.

We were looking for a last-minute place to enjoy Valentine celebration. We found this hole in the wall place and it was a fantastic experience. Very crowded & reminded me a little of New York City but this sits in North Bethesda. Tables end to end, all full and a little live music in the background. The food was outstanding highly recommend the.Picadera Cubana - it will easily serves 2! Steak, chorizo, shrimp, fried yucca, chicken and calamari in a rich sauce. Great taste! Reservations for Cubano's can be made on Open Table.

The restaurante is well decorated and does well bringing a Cuban accent with details, pictures and some rustic furniture. The service was good and they are not all over you, they give you your space to think, eat, digest and finish your meal. The taste was really good. I ordered to start my meal some empanadas with a homemade garlic/cilantro side sauce and it was on point. As main dish I had chicken soup with a side of Tostones. The soup was really good and its not a pre- made version. Its homemade. The tostones fried just right. Finally a small Cuban coffee "cortadito", needless to say was the right choice.

Went during all day happy hour on Thursdays. It was pretty empty when we got there around 6:30 so we were seated immediately. The tables started filling up pretty quickly as the night went on though. Cute indoor decor!We got 3 rounds of HH drinks, the margaritas were very tasty and the mojito was a double. The food was good as well! The portions were small though (happy hour pricing so it's acceptable). We got shrimp, empanadas, and arepitas. Veryyyy tasty food!! We will be returning for an actual dinner very soon. Love that they offer all day happy hour on Thursdays!

Authentic Cuban food nestled in a quaint spot. The food was on point. Ropa vieja all the way. The drinks were good and the service was very quick. This is a definite place to go over and over again.

What an amazing little restaurant tucked away in Bethesda. My husband came across Cubanos when he ordered delivery and loved it so much, we had to try it in person. We've actually been several times now and each time, the food is absolutely delicious. We've tried everything from the empanadas, the lunch snapper (Varadero), the dinner whole fried snapper, the seafood soup (Caldoso de Mar), the steak and Cuban sandwich, to the croquettes. Of everything we tried, the croquettes were my least favorite but they were still tasty. The soup was fantastic. It kind of reminds me of a bouillabaisse, but maybe even better. The snapper lunch dish and the whole fried snapper are delicious. Both are served with this decadent coconut rice that almost tastes too good to eat. The sandwiches were outstanding. Crunchy bread on the outside, with soft fresh bread on the inside, packed with meats and dipping sauce. And in case you saved room for dessert, you have to try the quatros Leches. Everything about the food was amazing and worth coming back for. The ambience is great. You walk in to this small restaurant and feel like you're transported to a tiny Cuban cafe. The walls are decorated top to bottom with different wall papers or decorative art. I love that in the background, there's great music playing but at a very manageable decibel, so that you can still talk and hear one another easily. The service was great. Our waiters have always been attentive and made great recommendations as to what to try. I look forward to going back and trying something new, though I love what we've had so far and would be absolutely happy ordering those again too.

I've been trying to find Cuban food since Cuban Corner in Rockville closed. I'm sorry but I have to say this was verrrryyy disappointing. I had Arroz Con Pollo and it was horrible! The rice was overcooked, the chicken was dried out and the dish was completely under seasoned. I will not revisit

This is such a pleasant surprise. A friend invited me out and it's been so long since I had Cuban food so I was very excited and they lived up to all my expectations.We went on a Thursday which turns out to be the day they have happy hour all night. Those mojitos are top notch.We started with a mini Cuban sandwich, the octopus, empanadas and shrimp which were all so full of flavor and cooked to perfection.I got the shrimp plate with bean and plantains and the beans are excellent. The food was so good I had to come back the next Thursday with my man.Excellent food and even better service. Definitely check them out

It was good, not great, and a little expensive for the food. I guess that's what happens when you move to downtown Bethesda from Silver Spring.
