Reviews For The Cuban Around The Corner

Lovely restaurant.. great decor. The Cuban sandwiches were very good despite them not being super traditional. We also had the tostones rellenos with picadillo and they We’re fresh and tasty! The staff was pleasant and the food was served in a timely manner. One recommendation would be to lower the lights because it was uncomfortably too bright with every single high hat light and wall sconces and chandeliers on. Less is better and it would nicer! The other recommendation I have would is to use cloth napkins instead of paper especially on weekends and for dinner to elevate the dining experience . I know it is a BYOB which I appreciate very much .. but Maybe you can ask the town if sangria is allowed with the minimally allowed alcohol allowed ( other places do this) to offer that as a delicious drink. Overall I’d return and try the dishes especially on a Friday since that’s rabo encendido night which is my favorite! BUENA SUERTE to this Cuban couple on their new place!!!!

This place really surprised me! Although we were the only customers in the restaurant when we got there, the service was excellent! Andy really made us feel very welcomed. The food was quite delicious I have to say, but their flan is in a category on its own! Their ambiance was elegant and a lot of white with beautiful lamps. They even have a large stage where they have live music on weekends. The bathrooms need updating but that was really my only con. Everything else was superb! Oh yeah, ample parking lot on premises.

We just had dinner at this restaurant and everything was delicious! The lechon and chicken tasted so home made and the churros were one of the best churros I have had in my entire life. The server who I think was the owner was so nice and even gave me a treat before I left.cant wait to come back!

First time dining and it did not disappoint! Super authentic, delicious Cuban food! The tres leche was perfection! The server was super friendly as well. We felt very welcomed as soon as we walked in! After dinner, we chatted with the owner for a few and she was the sweetest! Can’t wait to go back

The Cuban ‘round the corner has delicious authentic Cuban food and it’s BYOB! We brought our own wine, which they opened and kept cold for us in an ice bucket. We started with the Descubrimiento platter to sample all the appetizers. The Cuban empanada is just like biting into a Cuban sandwich, and the corn fritters were addictive, like the chicharritas and the croquetas and the chicharrones! The ropa vieja was sooo good and the chicken cutlet was real Cuban deeply seasoned. We went all out on desserts with 2 the mango pies, a guava cheese cake and a 3leches. Can’t wait to come back.

Delicious Cuban food, family owned and operated, with a homey atmosphere and elegantly decorated. Ordered the mini-Cuban Sandwich appetizer is the best. Tacos were filling. Yucca fries were . Lamb was great! Highly recommend if you are in the area
