The Cuban Around The Corner Reviews

This place needs to get more recognition their food is amazing I had the vaca frita with white rice and black beans with side of tostones. The server was very attentive and nice. Will be returning !

I been twice to this amazing husband and wife family oriented restaurant, it feels like you are at a close relative's house. It's funny to mention that on both occasions that I been there, there have been a wedding once and a sweet sixteen on the 2nd occasion, and neither event took away from the experience of dining at this place and enjoying a delicious meal, its also BYOB. Until next time for more great food,

The ambience was great. Good vibe inside, clean and nice music played while dining. The food came quick and warm. The service was efficiently superb. Highly recommended. Best for special occasions and an evening for a great meal with friends and family. Must try.

I ordered takeout for the first time here and it did not disappoint! The ambience is beautiful and well decorated. I ordered pollo a la plancha, masitas de cerdo, and ham croquetas. Everything was fresh and I well made! I would definitely come back to try their other dishes.

Great Cuban food! So happy to have discovered this restaurant. Ordered Lechon asado and Rabo with rice and black beans plus 2 side orders croquetas and maduros. Everything was delicious and perfectly seasoned. Will definitely be back for more to try other items on their menu.

I love everything about this place. The food is delicious, the prices are good, the portions are generous, the service is wonderful, and the ambiance is cozy and welcoming. The decor reminded me of Havana! We had the chicken soup (which tasted like my grandmother's; that confirmed to me that they have Cuban cooks in the kitchen); we also had a a steak sandwich, with maduros and tostones. And the fried snapper was, for lack of a better definition, a poem. This restaurant also has a stage, and there's live music. Make sure you go see David Oquendo (on the first Saturday of each month) for a night of boleros and filin'. It will transport you to a Cuba that exists only in the hearts and minds of all Cubans in exile. I'll see you at The Cuban Around the Corner!

Amazing value!! Saturday night we thoroughly enjoyed our evening; The food and the music! We shared three appetizers: tamale, papa rellenas, and a ropa vieja empanada. For the main course I had the Vaca Frita which was excellently prepared and my husband had the deep-fried whole red snapper, also perfectly prepared. We shared a large bottle of Pellegrino with our dinner. After dinner I had a delicious latte and my husband had two double espressos. For dessert I wanted the flan, but it had sold out so I got the mango pie instead and my husband had the crème brûlée; both were absolutely delicious. All of that was just over $80!!! There was a $20 door cover for the music which was beautiful, a band called Serenada (we put another $10 in the tip jar). If you haven't tried The Cuban Around the Corner, you definitely should!

I'm excited to hear about a Cuban restaurant that does not do fusion. Came for late lunch/early dinner. Not many people at the time, yay. We sat down in a beautifully spacious dining room. It felt like we were underdressed in jeans and sneakers lol Sebastian was friendly and helpful. We ordered: Descubrimiento (Tour of Cuba's appetizers): Papa rellena, Tamal, Croquettes, Empanadas, Chicharrones and Plantain chips - Potato Ball was tasty but the middle was luke warm but I'm used to it, as every potato ball we've had lately has a cold center...at least it wasn't ice cold Tamale was ok, hubby liked it more than I did Croquettes were meh neither of us liked it... Empanadas were delicious! I would get this alone next time Chicharrons were good Cuban Sandwich - delicious! Huge sandwich, too. The best part is, no mustard (I hate mustard, lol) the pernil was not dry like other places, yay! Rabo Encendido con Congri - so tender it fell off the bones. Very flavorful. Black bean rice was good. Iron Beer - too sweet, but it's canned soda, so I just have to remember not to order again, lol We also ordered bacalao to go. Had it the next day. Not much bacalao, which wouldn't be an issue if it had been good, but it was super salty. It's gonna be a pass next time... I would definitely go back go try other items.

This was our first time here. We came with friends who had dined here. The service was great. Very knowledgeable and friendly. The food was generally very good. We have a fair amount of experience with Cuban food. This was on par with some Of the better places we have been. Unfortunately we were there sometime in November so I cannot recall exactly what we had. Among the four of us we were quite happy. My one issue with the food was that my steak was a little over done. Not bad but skirt steak can be challenging. I ordered understanding that so it's not a huge issue. The reason I am not giving it 5-stars Is that they had live music that night. We love Latin music but it was very loud. If we had been at a concert we would have had a blast. However, over dinner it was too much. It was very hard for us to have a conversation. We will check beforehand next time. Highly recommend you give it a try.
