I ordered in and the portions were tiny for the price. I called to nicely complain and they were rude. I was told that the owner would be back at 8:30 pm and when I called, a ""ma...

To be Avoided 9/7/2006

A lovely room with delightful cocktails, poorly complemented by lackluster, lazy service, tough prosciutto and mediocre cheese, steaks entirely composed of gristle and undercooked, soggy oil french fries. Truly disappointing. more

Yuck. Save your money. 9/2/2006

I don't know where the other reviewers ate, but I doubt it was at Cubana Cafe. I took a date there awhile back. I don't remember what we ate, I just remember it was a terrible experience. I was actually ashamed. Go elsewhere. more

a good thing in a small package 8/10/2006

solidly delicious meal- i haven't been disappointed by anything in the dozen or more times i have eaten there over the last 6 months- I love the red snapper, the pulled pork, the great corn on the cob... and finish it all off with a cake...i love the tres leches!!! Pros: deeeee-licious more

Great delivery -- a great alternative to the usual 7/6/2006

When you're bored with all the Asian food in the area and want a refreshing change, head for Cubana Cafe. They might not bring the mojitos, but the rest of the menu is tasty and inexpensive. Don't forget to order a side of sweet plantains (with spicy mango salsa), and enjoy the empanadas (with chic pea salad on the side). Mmmmm! Pros: Cuban standards, tasty food, breakfast all day Cons: Addictive more

Mojo Habana! 6/23/2006

I really should not be writting this as I live in the hood and would rather keep the secret to myself, but I just ca't help it! Small? True. But this place has thrived. An alternative to dinner would be lunch or even breakfast. Dave and I had the place practically to ourselves yesterday around brunch time and enjoyed a feast. I had the Cuban version of Eggs Benidict (#41 on the menu!) made with spicey slices of choizo on soft Cuban bread covered with two perfectly poached eggs and a sauce that needs to be tasted to be believed. Served with rice, the breakfast satisfied. All the while they were cutting limes and tearing mint for the mojitos so the place was filled with summer smells, and the coco cappucino is truly a delight! For a taste of the forbidden Island, this place rocks. Pros: Good food, warm atmosphere Cons: tiny more

cozy, comfy--great for a lazy day 5/18/2006

solid meal--filling & tasty. bright & cheery atmosphere removes you from what can be a din-y & dingy city. we always have a fine time at this spot. Pros: cozy when happy, fresh, vibrant drinks, good value Cons: cramped when crabby more

Great for brunch 4/26/2005

Wonderful little spot to have brunch. Not for big groups, as it's so crowded, but perfect for two. The cafe con leche is fabulous. Definitely go! Pros: wonderful food, nice atmosphere, friendly service Cons: tables a bit cramped more

  • The Scene
    The restaurant packs Brooklynites in so tight that tables must be moved to allow for seating. But no one scrunched into the Havana-styled space seems to care, a testament to the...
