Cubavana Cafe Restaurant

I ordered delivery today and the food took forever to arrive! They initially said 45 minutes, it took them 90 minutes to deliver the food. When I called to check the status, the lady wouldn’t understand that I was checking the status and she kept trying to take my order again. Eventually she understood and told me it would me another 10 minutes for the food to arrive… Finally arrived 30 min after the phone call. The food is okay, I guess. I ordered the churasco and congri. The rice tasted burnt, the meat was stale and cold. This is the first time I order from here but I don’t think I will be ordering again. Very disappointed after reading other reviews that raved about this place.

Bad customer service, ladies need training. Orders confused all the time, left a review on google maps with my phone number and the manager never contacted me

Loved the environment and food was great. Waiter was awesome, quick and friendly. Best coffee I have tasted.

I was checking out the delivery options on Grubhub when I ran across Cubavana. The menu looked good and the prices were right, but you are forced to spend at least $ 15 in order for them to deliver. I decided to do a sampler since it was my first time eating from this restaurant. A little Vaca Frita (chicken), fries, rice & beans, with a side of congri and an empanada. OMG!!! Everything was hot, fresh and delicious. I was soooo surprised. The congri wasn’t to my liking, but it didn’t go to waste. I tried it again the following night to check consistency; and it was on point. I just can’t spend $ 10 for tax and delivery. It’s just me. Oh, and the empanadas were the best I have ever had.

Placed an order through Unilocal/​Eat24. Food never arrived. I was patient and even waited. Food still never arrived. Contacted Eat24. They spoke to the restaurant. Said that they were busy and food will be on its way and that they will offer a discount. Said ok, that works.
Discount they offered was one dollar and seventy eight cents. Yes, $ 1.78. And it was still going to take 30 minutes.
So a 2 hour process for no food.

Great place if you’re looking for a lot of food at a low price. Be ready to order in Spanish as sometimes employees don’t speak English. The food has been a hit or a miss for me. Sometimes I’ll get it and it tastes great and other times it’ll take forever for the food to come and it’s flavor isn’t the best and does a number on my stomach. But hey! If you don’t like the food, at least they have iron beer!

Ordered online though a 3^rd party for delivery. The food was hot, fresh and delicious. Ordered Masitas de Puerco with maduras and tostones, and Vaca Frita with Beas, rice and tostoes, along with flan.

Great food, great service and fast delivery. Can’t ask for more in an area utterly devoid of good Hispanic food. They also have weekly dinner plans, something like $ 6 a meal, great variety, great savings. Can’t really go wrong here. Enjoy!

A friend of mine recommended this place but I put it off because their prices were double what I am used to. But today I was starving and we happened to pass by so I decided we would try it. We’ll it was worth it. I am a picky eater… I like my eggs fried over medium with the white solid but the yolk runny (most Cuban restaurants can’t get it right… they either don’t flip the eggs or they make the yolk solid)… I like my ham in thin slices like sandwich meat and I like the bread lightly toasted and cut a specific way so I can make 2 sandwiches out of the breakfast platter… another feat most places can’t get right. but this place got it 100% as ordered. oh and it comes with home fries that are to die for. I will definitely be back this weekend. This is my new place for Cuban breakfast and I’ll probably try lunch or dinner soon. Very pleased

Ordered delivery and it was very easy and quick. The food got delivered exactly how I ordered it and was still warm. We will definitely order from here again!

At least once a week, I order and the food is always good, gets delivered within the time promised and it is reasonably priced. Haven’t been disappointed and would recommend to anyone looking to enjoy great Cuban food.

I can’t say enough great things about this restaurant. The food is always great, the delivery guys are fast and very polite! Sometimes we go for breakfast, I absolutely love the breakfast here! Comes highly recommended!

My partner picked up some food to go. I had grilled chicken, Moro and maduros. The food was not that good. The food was so bland. My partner had a media-​noche and she said it was ok. If u want bland cuban food come here. But you want better cuban food go to casavana.

So I walk into this place. First time ordering so I decide I just want a chicken soup. Should be quick because I figure it’s done already. Was also thinking maybe I want vaca frita but not too sure.
I walk in and there’s two customers. The waitress’s are working on some things and they see me walk in. They look at me but don’t say anything. I do a lap and walk back towards the entrance and now the waitress acknowledges me but in a low tone of voice asking what I wanted. Doesn’t greet, just straight to the point.
I say I wanted chicken soup for take out. I ask for the large size and she says she only has small size. Mind you she has this vibe like she doesn’t want to talk to you. Much less doesn’t even make eye contact and I can barely hear what she’s saying. She rings me up and I give my card and the awkwardness continues.
She puts my card in the machine and we wait. She starts talking to other people. The phone rings and she talks to them not much better than she talks to me. She takes two different orders on two different calls and there my credit card still sits. My arms are crossed at this point and I’m just silent wondering what’s going on. Almost 10 minutes go by and she finally mentions that the phone calls interrupt the connection for the credit card machine to work. So I was like okay. Then she gets another call but my card processes before it can be stopped. So I take a seat to wait for my order. Two customers walk in. She’s finishing up with a customer on the phone. She finally starts to talk to them and it seems like they’re deciding what they want. One of the customers goes to the bathroom as the waitress talks to the other person about what they want. 10 more minutes go by. The customer returns from the bathroom and they finally complete their order. At this point I’m bored, staring at how many fly’s are flying around and then I hear the craziest part of the story.
She tells the cook in the back that she needs an order of chicken soup to go!
I was like NOW YOU TELL HIM?!
5 more minutes and the order is complete. I’m like forget this place.
I have yet to taste the food. But this alone pissed me off. Shitty customer service and bugs flying around. My next review will be on the soup.

Table was not clean at all, mosquitos everywhere, a section of lights not working. Place going to run down within another year or two if things doesn’t get fix. Food was not as good as expected. What a joke of a place. Needs to be under new and better management. If I was the owner I would hire a gringo to run this place instead.

This little place in the corner of Publix plaza is a little gem. It’s a little restaurant which is very plain in decoration but I was immediately greeted by the pleasant employees there. I went here with a couple of friends we all ordered the same thing! Vaca Frita shredded chicken just because it looked so good. I got the black beans at plantains as sides. I also ordered a cuban coffee.
The vaca frita came out in a plate with white rice, shredded chicken cooked with onions and plantains. Black beans was in a different bowl which looked soupy. The meal was perfect with a dash of lime with it. And you can never go wrong with any cup of cuban coffee which came in a small cup.
The only downside to this place was my waitress took a long time to respond. There was not that many people when we went. Other than that, the Cubavana is a great place and I would gladly come again.

When you are in the mood for some authentic Cuban food, this is the place to eat.
Wether you eat in or have the food delivered, the food taste fantastic. The portions are more than filling and the prices are reasonable.
The service is always great. Friendly. Warm. Welcoming.
Great little spot to eat with the family any time of the day.

Great Cuban food that delivers to my house. Woo hoo! Just a little background. I have a Cuban mother who cooked Cuban food every night my entire childhood… This is my comfort food which is why I’m really glad this place is around the corner.
I ordered the beef vaca Frita with congri and maduros. Everything about this meal was right. The flavor, the huge portions, even the onion to juicy meat ratio. I will definitely order it again. The fried yuca and its dipping sauce were awesome as well.
Now the reason I gave them 4 stars is because of the sandwiches. We ordered a steak sandwich and a Miami sandwich and they were just okay. The Miami sandwich was a little soggy and the steak sand was kind of dry. But that’s alright. It’s rare to find a Cuban place that has both amazing food and sandwiches.
They answered the phone right away and didn’t leave me on hold forever like some places do. The lady that took my order was polite and efficient. They told me it would take 45 minutes to deliver but it got to my house in 25. We will be ordering again soon.

Would definitely recommend this spot if you want to sit down and enjoy authentic Cuban cuisine.
Food is a little above average and the service could be better. My server spoke very little English making it difficult to ask for recommendations given it is my first time here.
If you visit Cubavana I would highly recommend their café con leche. Their Cuban bread is also very good.

This was my first visit. I’m no stranger to Cuban food. I love it. I had the Churasco. Very tender, great tasting and the chimi churi was great, a lot of onion flavor. We also got the Media Noche, a little too much mustard, but the bread was very soft. The plantains were perfect, soft not over cooked. My fav was the fried Yucca, and the sauce to dip!!! Amazing. We didn’t dine in, we took to go. There was no one dinning in so the service was fast and the parking was ample. I give a four star bc they can redo the seating inside. Very old looking. It was left over from previous restaurant that was there. Overall, very pleased with the authentic Cuban Cuisine
