    Breakfast Empanada, Croquettas, Bocadito
    Sam P.

    Amazing and friendly service. It was refreshing to see staff genuinely happy to be there. Staff went above and beyond to accommodate us and make sure we were taken care of even taking food to go. Food was delicious! My favorite being the empanada of the day- chicken and cheese

    Awesome food with an even better mission. Highly recommend stopping by for breakfast or lunch sometime if you're craving some Latin American food.

    Breakfast was served and was a bit hit!

    Wilmer Rivera and Luis Vera provided an excellent catered experience for our Youth Worker Training Institute Graduation Breakfast! We had 60 very happy individuals who enjoyed scrambled eggs, bacon, home fries, Cuban toast, juices and Cuban coffee. The entire experience, from ordering to delivery and set-up was fantastic! It was such a huge help to know that I had nothing to worry about and Cafe Reyes was handing everything! I highly recommend you try their catering for your next event!

    Cuban Breakfast

    Absolutely amazing - I was blown away! First, the ambiance is perfect. The cafe itself is so cute, everything is so pretty and bright! Our server was very kind and the service was great. I've seen a lot of reviews speaking about long wait times even when the cafe is empty but our food and drinks were out quickly! The food was delicious and beyond worth the price. I started with a coffee which was probably the best I've had and the aesthetic? *chef's kiss* My friend recommended that I try their breakfast version of a Cuban sandwich and it was to die for. The flavors were great and the portion size was great - I had some for later :) Overall, such a great experience and some awesome food, I will definitely have to visit again!

    Amazing I would highly recommend this place for a moment I thought I was in Cuba the Host and Lorenzo the barrister made us feel welcomed and the food seasoned and cooked just right and the breads were delicious soft melt in your mouth good Great family breakfast spot

    Had a wonderful group lunch at Cafe Reyes. We tried all kinds of dishes and they were all to die for. The lechón asado, ropa vieja, Cuban sandwich, and mofongo were our favorites. The service was excellent and the manager, Wilmer, is very friendly and accommodating. We will be back soon!

    Great place. Coffee excellent. Sandwich a little overcooked. Cuban bread was very good. Not really a fan of a fried egg overcooked. But the chorizo was great. Not bad. Not bad at all

    Ropa Vieja

    The service and food was fantastic! Get the Ropa Vieja!! Yumm!! I'd have to say the homely feel made it a whole vibe

    Ropa Vieja. SO AMAZING!

    ** Updating previous review with more tapas rankings **…read more Yuca Frita (9.5/10): These are so freaking delicious, wow. The cilantro aioli was an amazing dipping sauce. They really are fried to perfection. Frituras de Maiz: (10/10): Wow, these fritters are also amazing. They come with such a rich sauce. The fritters are exploding with flavor. Cazuela de Coliflor Asada (9/10): Insanely good dish. The cauliflower has perfect texture, complemented by the pistachios. The sauce is SO good. The cauliflower soaks it up so well. Chicharrones (9/10): Melt in your mouth pork belly. The pork skin crust was perfect. The sauces really make most of the dishes here. This dish is no different - I loved the sauce. Ropa Vieja (9/10): Perfectly slow cooked meat. One thing that really stood out to me was actually the white rice. The rice was VERY high quality, and I appreciated it so much. It's rare to come by rice this good. It had the perfect texture, chew, and fragrance. Ropa Vieja de Hongos (9/10): Pretty much the same as Ropa Vieja above. The mushrooms are delicious, and the dish is just as good whether your order the mushroom or steak version. Empanada del Carne (9/10): Oh man, the crusts are so good. This is pretty on par with the ones I just had in Puerto Rico. Chuletas de Cordero (8/10): The seasoning is heavenly. I was licking the lamb chops clean. Croquetas (8/10): Very solid croquetas. Wouldn't say it's a must-order, but you can't go wrong with them. Costillas a la Guayaba (6/10): The first time I had this it was really nicely marinated, and the rib meat is so tender that it almost falls off the bone. The second time, the meat was dry. Maduros con Tocino (6.5/10): This dish was pretty good, but got overshadowed by the other ones. Pulpo (6.5/10): Octopus was tender and savory. The potatoes were too salty. Camarones a la Plancha (6.5/10): Solid dish, but I enjoyed some other ones even more. Ensalada de Aguacate y Pina (6/10): The salad was a bit too sour, and that sourness overpowered the dish. It was a great blend of ingredients, though. *** and one dessert *** Churros con Chocolate (8.5/10): Big crunchy fluffy churros!! The chocolate sauce is amazing (not really spicy at all). You have to get this for dessert!!

    Had a great dinner. 4 stars instead of 5 only because the service was a bit slow. They had plenty…read moreof runners but not enough folks taking orders.

    This is the second time I have bought something from this truck. Where I live has food trucks come…read moresome nights and the first time I tried this place, the wait was a long time. They were supposed to be here from 4-8 and I didn't time how long it was taking but I went up there twice and they claimed that they were waiting for the rice to finish. I probably was one of the first customers so I figured they might not have been ready and they had given me a free soda and a free dessert and extra pork so I wasn't too irritated about the situation. Plus the people who work the truck are very nice. Today, I was incredibly annoyed because I should have just cooked like I planned to. My food would have gotten done faster than they boxed up the food I bought. I paid almost 60 dollars including a tip to wait almost an hour for two pork bowls and rice. I wasn't given a wait time when I ordered the food so I just went to sit in my car outside my building since I figured it wouldn't take that long. After half an hour I decided to go see why the thing they gave me hadn't buzzed yet. When I went over, they were chatting up other customers having a great time. I asked about my order and they claimed it had been called already, so I figured it was just a mistake, but then someone else said they were still waiting on one more pork bowl. So I went inside, put away my groceries, washed my dishes, took out the trash and finally when I returned the food was done. If they ever come back here, I won't be spending my money with them, as nice as they are, they have held up my time twice and the food isn't worth my time. Oh and all I got for all that wait was a "God bless you" so I hope the Lord blesses them with better time management and that we never meet again.

    I first visited La Cocina Cubano Food Truck about a year ago, with the intention of trying a Cubano…read moresandwich, but I got distracted by a Chicken Fricassee special they had that day. I finally tried the Cubano today, and it's the best Cubano sandwich I've had in CT. I know everybody is anxious to hear a guy originally from the Ohio suburbs break down a Cubano sandwich. So hear you go. Many CT places make good Cubanos, but they're more Cubano-adjacent than authentic. I don't think anybody but La Cocina gets the bread right in CT. The owners' Dad is Cuban and has owned a bakery. He makes the bread for these Cubanos. The bread is what you would find at the good Miami bakeries and sandwich shops. Fresh. Thin. Wide. Tasty. It has terrific color and texture when it's pressed on a Plancha. A lot of CT places have some good ingredients for their Cubanos, but the balance of ingredients and flavors is wrong in some way. A Cubano has two flavorfully impactful ingredients -- Mustard and Pickles. Although ham can be too salty in large quantities, the remaining Cubano ingredients are more or less mild. Swiss has less salt than many cheeses. And the pork umami flavor is subtle as well. I find some places ruin their sandwiches with an overly aggressive mustard or distracting pickles. La Cocina's Cubano flavors are perfectly balanced, and really allow the juiciness and umami flavors of the slow roasted citrus Mojo marinated pork and the texture of the bread to stand out. The sliced pickles are tasty and almost have a slight Gherkin vibe to the brine, and the mustard is mild and applied in a quantity that complements and doesn't overpower anything. The Swiss was perfectly melted and stretchy, and its mild flavor was just right. I highly recommend La Cocina's Cubano. Check their Socials to find the truck at locations such as near Bushnell Park and Trinity College. 5 Stars
