90 Miles from Cuba - Cuban Sandwich and croquetas. - Cuban Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Rico. Riquísimo. Todo hecho al momento. Con un sabor riquísimo. El lugar es un éxito. Con buen cafecito también.

I was very happy to have found this small "hole in the wall" eatery named 90 Miles from Cuba. Clearly, Jacksonville is not 90 miles from Cuba, but Key West is. Furthermore, hole in the wall eateries are often very good because they serve up good food that's a good value. 90 Miles from Cuba sits on Beach Blvd., one of those frisky 6 lane boulevards often seen in big Florida cities. In addition to using your phone's maps, one other thing that made me chuckle is that there is a stand selling Mexican food closer to the edge of the boulevard side of the parking lot while 90 Miles from Cuba is inboard. Since I've only been once, and would be glad to return, I try what might be my introductory dish in Cuban food - a ropa vieja platter. (I expand my horizons when I go back to Cuban places.) Along with the shredded flank steak, the platter had beans and plantains. I was skeptical to try plantains and yuca when I first saw them at a Cuban restaurant in NorCal, but, now, I like them very much. I really enjoyed the meal and the value. 90 Miles from Cuba doesn't feature table service. You order at the counter, pay for your meal, and then find a place to sit. You can see the food being prepared for you, right behind the counter. Once prepared, they will then bring it to your table. So, here's why I'm going with 5 stars. First, this is one very good "hole in the wall," of which the wall is an older strip mall. Second, the owners and employees are on hand and are very kind people. Lastly, Cuban folks - the real deal - are either eating here, coming in for a cafecito, or coming in to pick up food they've ordered. If they are giving 90 Miles from Cuba this nod in a big way, that's further proof that this is a great place. read more

I love it! It's hard to find genuine yummy Cuban food in Jacksonville. I'm from Tampa where we have a bunch of it and I grew up with my families dishes. This tasted exactly like it and it's so reasonably priced too. They are so nice and welcoming as well. The Cuban sandwich was perfect, they have a small and large size option. The ropa vieja tasted perfectly seasoned. And the ham croquettes reminded me of home perfect cafe con leche as well read more

This place is a special place. From the food, atmosphere and the people. Every time I visit my family from Bama, we come here to eat the sandwich, ropa vieja with rice & amarillos, & empanadas or to drink their Guanabana ( soursop) smoothie with milk which is awesome. My mom loves it and they treat her like family. They treat everyone, w kindness and a big smile. She visits with her freinds from the senior center. Best place I have been too and it's all worth it!! Hope you try it!! read more

Service is like going to someone's home in the best ways. The lechon didn't last long. Congri and frijoles were on point. I hate my mom's cubano for leftovers. read more

Yes, a small place and not a lot of tables. Order at the register and they deliver to your table. I was there early enough and thought I'd order breakfast. Ended up with pork, black beans and rice and fried green plantains with a garlicky vinegar oil. Absolutely delicious. With a cafe Cubano. The place filled up quickly. Friendly people and a varied menu. If no room to sit, get it to go. It's that good. Will certainly return. This is in a small strip center towards the east end. Look for it! read more

Fantastic food, just like back home in Miami First place I've been to here in Jax that actually reminds me of home. The service was very friendly. Could have sworn I took a pic of my Lechon Asado But I'll for sure being going back so ill soon have plenty of pics read more

Was this my favorite Cuban in town, no. I like mine on the toastier side which I'll probably ask for the next time. But lemme tell you...the price was right and it was thicc. They did not skimp on the meats! So for that alone, I'll come back. Service was friendly and cafe con leche was on point. read more

Hubby was craving a Cuban sandwich and I'm always down to eat Cuban food, we found 90 Miles from Cuba on Yelp. I called and placed my pickup order. About 20 minutes later, we arrived. They are located in a rundown plaza on Beach Blvd, nothing fancy but don't let that stop you. The place is small, about 7 tables inside. They were fairly busy, all but one table occupied and several people picking up orders. Once back home, I plated our lunch. We each had a Cuban sandwich, 2 ham croquetas and half of a beef empanada. The Cuban was loaded with meat! The bread could have been pressed longer and it needed a bit more mayo/mustard. Overall, not the best Cuban sandwich I've had but still pretty good. The beef empanada was authentic, fried perfectly and tasted great. I really enjoyed the ham croquetas as well. Tasty and well seasoned. I would definitely come back to try a different sandwich and a café con leche. read more

90 Miles from Cuba - Cuban Sandwich, Ham Croquetas and Half of a Beef Empanada - Cuban Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

This unassuming restaurant is a fantastic place to visit for Cuban food. So far, on two separate occasions, I've tried the media Noche, tamal, ropa vieja and cafe con leche. Everything was delicious. I will return to try more menu items very soon. The ladies working here are so sweet. They're also open for breakfast. They close at 3pm. Stop by and comment on my remarks to let me know what you think. read more

The best Cuban food in Jacksonville Florida and it's not even close, this joint is a little small but what they have big is heart put into every single meal they make and it shows. The staff were incredibly friendly and my wife and I were treated to a very affordable meal that was delicious! read more

First of all, the Cafe con Leche is probably the best cup of coffee I have had in town in a long time. Starbucks, independent coffee shops, not even at home on my own espresso machine can match this. If you like classic Cuban Coffee, it is good as well. With that said, I did not visit for breakfast, I was in for lunch. My wife & I split a Cuban Sandwich and when they brought out two plates with two halves on each plate, I thought they had misunderstood and given us two orders. No, it was ONE sandwich. If you are dining alone, and unless you are very hungry, you most likely will take half of your Cuban home. The portions are very generous. We also ordered Beef Empanadas which were delicious. I look forward to trying breakfast and I will bring a thermos to get an extra Cafe con Leche to go! read more

The customer service was awesome! They made me feel at home while I dined there! The food was soooo gooood! I got the ropa veja with plantains rice and beans and a side of chicken empanadas and I loved everything! You can tell they fried the plantain and empanadas in clean oil! 10/10 Definitely recommend read more

I am originally from Miami and have not found good human food until I discovered 90 miles from Cuba restaurant. The people are just so nice and sweet and the rice and beans and the food is so good. Also, you should try the Cuban sandwich. It's literally the best. read more

A little hole in the wall my cousin found on google and I followed it up with confirming reviews on here. Pleasantly surprised with the service and quality of the food. It's in a shopping center, not in the best part of southside. Yes, looks sketchy but man, was it worth it. Not too much seating available and it's first come first serve. This was authentic Cuban food. Nothing disappointed, from the shredded beef platter, to the pork and tostones, to the cafe con leche and the juice. Betty who I think is the owner was so nice, she came over to talk to and welcome us. We spend $53 for 3 of us having full blown meals each and an appetizer with the drinks i mentioned, so not bad. The portions were hefty and I'm not mad. I'll certainly be back. read more

Ordered take away from here earlier this week and it was AMAZING. The Cubano Sandwich is the best [by far] that I've had in Jacksonville. 10 out of 10 would recommend. Tiny little shop in a strip mall off Beach Blvd. Please do yourself a favor and try this place. I can't wait to try the other menu items. Also great: service and portion size. read more

Small little hole in the wall type of place that you may easily miss if you are not really looking for it. I looked them up on a recommendation from a Cuban friend. I am always in the mood for a good steak sandwich so I decided to give ''em a try and ohhh boy is this the real deal Cuban food if I have ever had some. My sandwich was the best pan con bistec I've had up until now, my wife got the one with lechon os suckling pig which was loaded with meat and the garlic flavor was on point. The kitchen is ran by some very happy and outspoken cuban ladies who seem to know all of the guests. I saw some other people getting other dishes, so my wife and I are already making plans to come back next week to try other options. read more

Just like I remember low key Cuban joints in Miami. Start with a Cuban coffee while you wait for a more substantial meal to be prepared. Saw some guys nursing a hangover with the Lechon Asado, Arroz y Frijoles, y Platano and I figured I needed to do the same to perk up and get on their level. The croquettes are a must. They are a staple of any Spanish heritage restaurant of this stature. I've also enjoyed the BIG Cuban sandwich for a hearty, keep me going through the day sustenance. Mmmmm pork! read more

Delicioso is all I can say. We were at the children's museum which is right down the road, checked yelp, and saw the amazing reviews so knew this was a little gem! Total hole in the wall which I loved and the food was so dang good. I got the ropa vieja with rice, beans, and plantains. We also got the cuban sandwich. The portions were large and the food was so fresh and scrumptious. I don't live there nearby but if I am ever in the area I will definitely go back! read more

Loved this place as it reminded me of back home in Miami. Definitely a great spot for a proper pan con bistec

I don't want to scream out "this place is awesome!!!" Because then the secret is out!!! I love the staffs "Hi momma!!!" Food is wonderful. Price is decent. Place inside is small but very cozy. I love my café cubano, just perfect. Food is so yummy. The ladies works very hard and interact with their customers. My favorite Cuban restaurant is here. read more

I took my daughter to this place since we are both so busy with work We are so glad we did. The saying that goes " Don't judge a book by its cover " is so true for this place. The frontage has been painted with a tropical look and it is not located in attractive shopping strip but is quite safe. This is a whole in the wall type restaurant. The inside is small and simple with 6 tables. A mural of the Cuban coastline is on the right side of the wall. My daughter ordered the roasted pork platter which comes with rice, black beans and fried plantains. I ordered the Cuban sandwich and cafe con leche ( Cuban coffee with milk). Let me tell you. I lived in Miami for 2 years and this is the real authentic Cuban food. My Cuban sandwich was to die for. It was nice and toasty, cheese melty, pickles added a nice crunch, and just the right amount of juicy meat. Not sure if there was mayo and mustard in there but I didn't care because it was excellent. My daughter's roasted pork platter was large and had a piece of pork skin on top ! So don't take your sweet time to come here. Because after this review, there's going to be a long line. Haha. Anyways, I have tried one local authentic Cuban place and found it to be too greasy and the other one is too Americanized for my taste. This place is the Real Deal. No photos to post because we were so hungry but we will be back soon ! read more
