    For Cuban food in LA, this was pretty good. Was more authentic than Porto's. From Cuban heritage, this was pretty solid. The coffee was awesome, and the Cuban sandwich was great. I loved the decoration as well. The girl at the register was very nice.

    Nice spot on place to eat. Few tables but they were able to accommodate. Complimentary water is welcome plus and warm staff helpful and tend to patrons is a plua. Restroom is on site l but hard to get to. .recommend Cuban and must have those Coffees specialty drinks too reasonable pricing!!!!

    What a fabulous find! Absolutely love this place. Great customer service , flavor on flavor on flavorrrr .... The coffee & the food ! Cozy spot , it is always packed but they move quick and everything is hot & fresh . So much to try on the menu I'm sure we will back ! My favorite drink is Cortadito , I've had it both hot and cold and I love it both ways. The pan is amazing !!

    Awesome service. Friendly owners and amazing breakfast and lunch food. Cuban food. Try their Cuban coffee! Got the ropa con papa eggs and Cuban style pork. Def worth a try when you're in the area. Easy parking but does get a bit busy on the weekend.

    This little gem is a nice surprise in Calabasas. It's a small, Cuban coffee shop and restaurant. Don't let the name (little coffee) fool you. Their namesake coffee packs a punch and is very sweet just like in Miami. The food is hearty, soulful, generous and delicious! Great for breakfast and lunch. The service is 10/10! They are so friendly, accommodating and fast! There was a miscommunication on our order and they enthusiastically fixed it, no questions, no attitude. Go enjoy a lovely meal at Cafecito

    GuavaQ Pork Platillo
    Jim G.

    Been by twice now, once for lunch and now for dinner. Lunch was PACKED with a long line so we left but made it back for dinner. Still a line but not as crazy. Let me start with saying, Libby was busting ass, get her some help! Cashier, running the food most of the time, and cleaning up is too much. Regardless, of the stress she kept cool and got it all done. On to the food... I see why there is a line. The GuavaQ pork plate was flavorful, and even the rice was made to perfection which is typical not a call out. The jerk sandwich was good, but a little dry. Did not expect anything amazing since jerk is a traditional Jamaican dish but wanted to give it a try. Other notes...their menu needs some updating. No alcohol yet and no croquettes. The prices are awesome which also makes that line extra long. Looking forward to trying some other dishes.

    We loved this restaurant, it's our second time coming here and the Cuban authentic food never disappoints. Service was excellent, the food was excellent. We had their Milanesa sandwich and their Cuban pork plate with fried bananas, black beans, and white rice. I also had a Cafecito with milk and sugar, it was served in a small tiny cup because it's basically a shot of espresso. I love their authentic art on the walls featuring one of Cuba's best Catalogs, Carteles, which was known for featuring beautiful Cuban cultural art from the early 1919 to about 1960. Highly Recommended!!!

    Ham and cheese omelette
    Nancy T.

    Well wasn't sure what to expect. Not a lot of room to sit inside or out. The girls working there were friendly enough but slow. They would make a coffee order while people were waiting. I had a large Cafecito hot with 1 sugar. But was it hot burned the roof of my mouth. When it finally cooled down, it was quite good. I had the Jamon omelettle and date it all. The Tater tots were the best and I usually don't care for them. My husband had the Lechon Omelettes, rather bland pork.

    Great Cuban hole in the wall just off the 101 in downtown Calabasas! It's a cute location with great decor and friendly vibes. Like dropped straight from Havana! The service was great and attentive with great recommendations. I asked what was recommended and he put right onto the Cubano! Everyone in our group loved what they got. 10/10 recommend.

    Staying near the Calabasas Commons for the weekend I walked by several eateries but this one was different. Cafecito had a variety of options, including several vegetarian dishes. The restaurant had regulars the staff recognized or knew by name. It was my first time visiting and they treated me with a warm welcome. The coffee was strong and perfectly sweetened- the perfect Cuban cafe con leche. The guava pasties were served warm and oozed with so much tasty jam you'll wonder how they stuffed them.

    Or last night and Buena Park Anahiem area. What a find!!!!…read more We were so happy with this place. Service was amazing place was beautiful. We felt underdressed. Everybody was to the nines in their attire. The hostess was so friendly and welcoming. She sat us on a high table in the outside patio area. We didn't even have reservations but she still managed to make it happen. Our server was great (Migel) as well throughout the whole night he had about like maybe six or eight tables still managed to serve our table in an orderly manner, orders take drink orders and maintain it throughout the whole time we were there for dinner. Food here is so next level... The beautiful cuisine to match, so so delicious. Latin flare is alive and well here they had a live band from Miami. It was a cherry on top. It was PERFECT Definitely will be saving this place for future visits when in the area! Great food, service impeccable, and establishment clean, and well presented. Thanks for all make this place special. We enjoyed ourselves me and my family.thank you Migel for making it great.

    Went to ISLA for lunch with a client. I've never really had Cuban food before, so I wasn't sure…read morewhat to expect, but the food was really good. We started with the ceviche and empanadas. The ceviche was a little sweet, which was different, but still really good. The empanadas were good too, we had the beef so next time i want to try a different protein I got the chicken sandwich. Pretty simple, but really good. The fires were good, i like the shoe string ones. My coworker got the habanero salmon and I tried some of hers. I was expecting it to be spicy, but it really wasn't. I don't have a high spice tolerance and it was fine for me. Service was okay, but the restaurant was clean and modern. Prices were pretty reasonable too, especially nowadays. Overall, good food, reasonable prices and for sure somewhere I'd go back to

    If you're looking for legit, flavorful Latin comfort food in the Valley, Ay Papa Que Rico…read moreabsolutely delivers. I went with the 1/2 chicken combo and added the pork back ribs and honestly, both were standouts. The chicken was incredibly juicy with that perfect balance of crispy, well-seasoned skin and tender meat underneath. You can tell it's marinated right. Every bite had flavor, not just the surface. Sides were solid and complemented everything well, but the proteins are definitely the stars here. Service was friendly and fast, and the whole place has a casual, welcoming vibe that makes it easy to come back again and again.
