Went here on a whim while looking for a place to eat before a brewery tour. Guess which one I'm going back to first next time I'm in Fort Collins? If you said Babalu's, you'd be correct. Got a media noche sandwich (Cubano with a sweet roll) and it was outstanding. Service was excellent. Would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone I like. The people I don't like can go to McDonald's for all I care. This place is too special for them. Go. Eat. Enjoy. You're welcome. read more

This wonderful little hole in the wall in Fort Collins is WONDERFUL. The food is authentically cuban, and so fresh and delicious. Their pastries are wonderful and not "too sweet". They also made us feel very much at home, and the folks were very friendly. AND, they play I LOVE LUCY reruns on their TV. BABALU!!!!!! read more

Breakfast review time! I've loved this little spot since I first tried their Media Noche, and finally made it in for some to-go breakfast burritos. Their hours are spotty due to a health issue in the family (our thoughts are with Rosa!), but when they're open, boy do they deliver the goods! I love me a chorizo breakfast burrito and after trying plenty around town, I stopped in here before work to try theirs out. I was greeted immediately by the owner and placed my order. In just a few minutes, I was handed these beautifully wrapped burritos. Full of flavor with perfectly cooked potatoes, wonderfully set scrambled eggs and tender chorizo, and their medium salsa still has quite a kick to it! Multiple bonuses - they're "Becki-sized" (I find it hard to finish a whole burrito in one sitting, and I was still barely able to finish this one) and the price is ridiculously low! I'll be stocking up for some staff meetings in the future to support, and to share the goodness that is Babalu's! read more

I'd like to review the recent experience of my wife and myself at Babalu's, but unfortunately we were unable to have one. We visited the place at 1:30 p.m. (well within its hours of opening), only to find that they were out of the guava pastries for which we mainly came and did not have many pastries of any kind. We then just left. This is a small place, and I'm sure that they limit their production in order to avoid waste. Our experience, however, suggests that they may be going too far in that direction. It also suggests coming here as early in their opening hours as possible. read more

As someone of Cuban descent, originally from Miami, I've spent my life surrounded by incredible Cuban food and coffee. Finding a place that truly captures the flavors of home outside of South Florida is rare, but this restaurant is the real deal! From the moment you walk in, the aroma of Cuban coffee and fresh pastelitos hits you, and it feels like a little slice of Miami right here in Colorado. The café con leche? Hands down, the BEST in the state! Perfectly balanced, rich, and creamy--just like Mom and Dad make it . And the Cuban bread? Incredibly authentic, with that perfect crisp crust and soft, airy inside. It tastes just like home! If you're craving real Cuban food or just want to experience the magic of Cuban coffee, this is the spot. Fort Collins is lucky to have it! read more

I just had Babalus for lunch on a whim. I went to Flamingo boutique to check some stuff out and right next door I saw a cute storefront for food and long and behold it was Babalus (their storefront has been opened since NOV 2020). I ordered 2 empanadas ($3 each), a cuban sandwich ($10) and 2 pastelitos (one was guava and one was guava and cheese $3). It was a delicious lunch and most importantly it was authentic. I was helped by the owners Rosa and Frank. I highly recommend you get the pastelitos (I bought guava because that's the OG island flavor but there is also cherry and pineapple too) The pastry would be delicious with their coffee which is of course bustelo. Any establishment that serves Bustelo is LEGIT. This spot is just so cute and homey and the food is delicious as well. read more

To be fair my hopes were pretty high and for anyone who has never had a real deal Cubano or Media Noche this is possibly a good place to get an ok sandwich; for me however it was a let down. The bread was okay but far from authentic on both the Cubano and Media Noche, BUT the press and cut style were spot on. The meat was bland and basic lacking the signature flavor that one would expect. The pastries looked great and were fairly cheap but left me missing the fresh homemade taste of a Quesito. While the owners were less than excited to hear about it being my friend and mine's first time in and their lackluster welcome was a disappointing they did warm up towards the end of our short stay. Suffice it to say after I am currently fighting the urge to book a ticket to Tampa to get my Cuban fix. read more

Also the Cuban coffee is excellent, it's like drinking a decadent dessert. Don't be dissuaded by the awkward building or the short operating hours, make it a point of getting to Babalu's.

What's not to love? After discovering they were out of fries and tots, we settle on the same order, but over chips. What I did not expect was tortilla chips, creating more of a cheesesteak nachos style, but the chips made for a good crunch and not the typical soggy mess that tends to happen with smothered fries or tots. I was a little disappointed in the steak and cheese though, as the steak was chopped fine with the consistency of ground beef and the cheese wasn't freshly melted cheese, but more of a queso base cheese. Portion was pretty small for $12, but gave us just the amount of light sustenance we needed before making our way to another brewery.

The queso fundido was yummy. My friends and I split the shrimp ceviche, which was ok, but I honestly expected better based on the reviews I'd seen. Service was a bit lacking when they got busy, which was difficult at the end when we needed to wrap up and get to an event.

Always a big plus when Mexican restaurants have plenty of vegetarian options! I hadn't had veggie…read morefajitas in a while but they sounded so good so I had to get them! My son got a kid's quesadilla which came with fries or beans and rice, but we got the fries, and my husband got a cheese quesadilla. The service was really good, we can be particular sometimes haha but they got everything right! I tried some quesadilla and it wasn't bad but the tortilla wasn't like amazing, but it wasn't bad! Lots of cheese. My fajitas were yummy, I loved the black beans and rice especially. Not an overly expensive meal either. Cute spot, my son liked all the rooster decor!

A very impressive Mexican spot…read more The interior is impeccable. Beautiful polished wood tables with comfortable upholstered chairs. The wait staff are all dressed in uniforms and the attention to detail is impressive. Everyone is wiping, vacuuming. Pride in craft is obvious. There are about 15 tables inside and about a half dozen outside. 12 at the bar. There's an extensive menu with all the Mexican standards. Surprisingly, chips and salsa are sold as an appetizer. At first I was thinking wow, don't we usually get chips and salsa for free? Reality is all those chips before the meal mean that I can't finish the entree. So... It's actually good not to have free unlimited chips. Chicken quesadilla is on-point. Tender chunks of chicken smothered in melted cheese on a toasted tortilla. Unusual twist, there's shredded cabbage also. Very tasty. Supremo burrito is excellent. Chunks of chicken, rice, beans, cheese. Guac and pico on the side. Could have used more pico but still very very good. Disappointed in the drinks. The house margarita was poorly mixed. So strong it was like sipping straight tequila. On balance, I appreciate a generous pour but... if I wanted shots, that's what I would have ordered. Despite that minor nit, this was a fabulous Mexican meal.

Casa Real has made an amazing Ramen that has been my go-to. The fine shredded beef with the limey spicy flavors is amazing and perfect for a cold day like today...CINCO DE MAYO!!! First time in the establishment and everyone was welcoming and made sure I was taken care of. As a solo guest sometimes you get missed. They were ready for cinco de mayo to begin! Place is festive and well decorated! Will come in more often in the future!

The food is amazing every time and it arrives quick and hot. Among all else the Horchata is by far the best we've ever had, I enjoy it so much that I ask to take some home to mix into my morning coffees! The restaurant is ambient, and the vibes are always relaxing, today we watched the game on their large tv screens, I especially appreciate that the TV's aren't incredibly loud and allow customers to chat. I highly recommend coming here for a date or even just to get away for the night!
