    Vaca Frita
    Maria A.

    Right in the heart of Peachtree, I stopped at Beni's Cuban for some authentic Cuban food. I ordered the Vaca Frita and it did not disappoint -- crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned with that signature garlicky-citrus kick.

    Puerco Asado

    Delicious food in very generous portions and a great price. My food was served hot and tasted absolutely yummy! The service was prompt and polite. It is located in The Hub and was one of the busiest places today for lunch. What a great find!

    Maduros.

    This is right inside The Hub space next to Marta and across from the CVS. Within good walking distance to Westin and connected to both Hyatt and Marriott. The stall is quick, you have several sando options to pic from and if you're not eating Pork, they have a Havana Sanwich made with pulled beef instead of Pork. Solid options. The have maduros as well, which are fresh and tasty. I got the Cuban and I'm in love at first bite. It's pressed, it has a crunch to the bread with a good chew and solid flavor all around. Sandwich was $12.50 and the maduros were $4! Which is a steal considering most Cubans at other locations in Atlanta are about $16-18 by itself Service was quick and painless on a good Dragoncon weekend.

    What's left of a chicken and Chicken & Cheese Empanada - One

    Fresh food court meal. You order in line and find a seat. If you want something for everyone THIS is the place - you can get a cuban here, a slice of pizza over there, sushi at another place, a poke bowl, Chik-fil-a, Firehouse sub, a Mediterranean Shawarma, and more. Then meet up at a table and enjoy. We stuck with Beni's delicious food this visit. The chicken and cheese empanada with garlic aioli was delicious! The sauce did not overpower the flavors in the empanada and made a perfect blend for your tastebuds. The cuban sandwich was amazing. It had the right blend of sweetness from the bread and ham, and tanginess from the garlic aioli and mustard. The pork had a good spice blend, while not being spicy. The rice was good. They offer it with black beans but we opted out and just got the rice. They also offer other sides like maduros, plantain fries, corn & black bean salad, etc. The Pan Con Bastic (sandwich) that I got was great! The caramelized onions against the sweet bread and the pork - yum!

    While I wasn't overly impressed with the Cuban sandwich, the ropa vieja was so good (especially for a "fast food" place) that I ate here THREE times when I was in Atlanta for Dragon Con over Labor Day weekend. They also worked whatever (usually small) line they had pretty fast and when I asked for some salt even gave me a little container of some sort of special/seasoned salt. Definitely worth a stop if you're looking for some good quick not overpriced food in downtown Atlanta!

    Definitely a solid spot for an affordable sandwich without all the bells and whistles but a solid flavor! Staff was helpful and friendly while also giving their own recommendations. It's in a food court area so don't expect much in the way of a great ambiance, but hey, a sandwich is the ultimate to go food! Definitely recommended as a solid quick lunch.

    I came to Beni's it is inside a food court. Easy to find the food was okay. It was nice and hot, the staff was very pleasant. I ordered the plate of ropa vieja. I can honestly say I've had better, there was not a lot of flavor in the meat. The rice and beans were good. The place was clean, you can see inside while they are serving and preparing your order at the counter.

    Fantastic! The food was hot and fresh! The service was great. The people are very friendly. I work right next-door and sometimes I forget about this place because they are right next to a Chick-fil-A, which normally has a really long lines. Every time I come here it's a good experience.

    Puerco Asado. Mojo-marinated pork with grilled onions and peppers and lime. Served with yellow rice, black beans, and sweet plantains. $13.

    The Mall at Peachtree Center's food court - I mean, "The Hub at Peachtree Center" (that's what this place has been rebranded and remarketed as) has really stepped up its game. They've introduced some good new eateries in recent years and Cuban restaurant Beni's Cubano is one of them. Beni's opened in November 2017 and is a product of Southern Proper Hospitality Group, the same restaurant group behind Tin Lizzy's (there's a Tin Lizzy's location at Peachtree Center, upstairs from Beni's) and other Atlanta restaurants like Gypsy Kitchen and The Big Ketch Saltwater Grill. This is the second Beni's to open in metro Atlanta. The original opened in Marietta/East Cobb in June 2017. Beni's has a corner stall near the CVS wing of The Hub. They've completely renovated the stall and it looks updated and modern with colorful, patterned wall tile, Edison lighting, and distressed wood. There are bright, crisp menu displays mounted above and behind a serving counter that features two sandwich presses. You can watch the staff press each sandwich to order. The menu is simple. Beni's offers entrees with yellow or white rice, black beans, and sweet plantains ($13-15 each), salads ($7) with a variety of meat options (plus $5-7), smaller items and sides ($2.50-6.50), sandwiches ($9-13), and mango and other fruit juices ($3). Examples of entrees include mojo-grilled chicken, vaca frita (crispy pulled beef) and ropa vieja (tomato-and-sofrito-braised beef). Examples of some of the smaller items include beef and chicken & cheese empanadas and yuca fries. Beni's also has a small variety of sauces you can choose from including a house sauce that's made from tomato, mojo, sofrito, and hot sauce. I asked the employee behind the counter what Beni's is known for and he said, without hesitation, the pork, so I ended up getting the puerco asado entree ($13). It consists of mojo-marinated pork, grilled onions, peppers, and lime along with rice (I got yellow instead of white), black beans, and sweet plantains. It was delicious. In general, the ingredients were good quality. The pork was terrific. It was tender, juicy, and flavorful. The chunks of meat were thick and hearty. The "peppers" described on the menu turned out to be sliced and cooked red bell pepper. The rice and beans hit the spot. The rice was nice and moist with good flavor. The sweet plantains were yummy. They were warm with a delectable consistency. They were probably my favorite part of the meal. Overall, this was a tasty and satisfying meal. Service was friendly and quick. I would definitely come back.

    My boyfriend and I stopped by for a quick Friday lunch while staying at the Westin Peachtree Plaza around the corner. We weren't sure what to expect from a strip mall vibe restaurant next to a Chick-Fil-A. We ordered the cuban sandwich and ropa vieja, and the food was LEGIT! Juicy and tender meat, good quality ingredients, incredibly flavorful, and generous portion sizes. Would recommend for any other out-of-towners staying in the area!

I adore sitting on the patio and soaking in the neighborhood's vibrancy. Watching the e-bikes whiz by with kids on the back and teenagers loitering the mini-market gives the whole scene a modern Norman Rockwell feel. The margs are cheap, the food is a great value, and everything always comes out quickly. The service is attentive, too--you'll have multiple people checking in to ensure you're happy. As a regular, I've tried most of the menu. One of the 'secret' standout items is the salmon salad (insider knowledge passed down to me!). The quesadilla is my other go-to, though I do wish they'd finally start cutting the darn thing into triangles! Bottom line: this is a place to just hang and relax.

I could have happily ordered a full bowl as my main dish and left completely satisfied. For my entrée, I went with the Original Paella. Overall, it was very enjoyable and nicely seasoned. The flavors were there, and it was definitely pleasing to eat. I will say, I was expecting a bit more protein. Everything tasted good, but a slightly more generous portion of protein would have taken it to the next level for me. I'd give the paella an 8/10. We also tried the Enchiladas de Pollo. The flavor was definitely there -- the seasoning and filling were enjoyable -- but the tortillas didn't seem as fresh as I'd hoped. Because of that, the enchiladas lost some of their structure and would fall apart before you could really get a solid bite with your fork. It didn't ruin the dish, but it did take away a bit from the overall experience. The atmosphere was really nice. They offer seating on the first floor (inside and outside), plus a second-floor outdoor option. If you're worried about being cold upstairs, don't be -- they have ceiling heaters, which is a thoughtful touch. We went during lunch, so it wasn't too busy, and it felt relaxed. I can only imagine how charming it must feel at night with the city views -- I'd definitely love to come back in the evening to experience that. The food came out quickly, which is always appreciated, and parking wasn't too bad to find. I could see it being a little more challenging during peak hours, but for us, it worked out well. Overall, I'd give this place a 4.2/5. I'd absolutely return -- especially for that chicken soup -- and I'm excited to explore more of the menu next time.
