Their Cuban sandwiches are really good. I like their Cuban coffee. I made the mistake of not heeding caution when trying it my heart was racing. The service was good. Absolutely living for the staff. I like the vibe. It's chill, quiet, and it felt cozy. read more

Churros Cafe - Roast pork, congri, Yuma, and a side salad. Sweet plantain on the side. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

I had a great experience I came here 1 minute after closing and they were able to attend to me. I purchased a media noche sandwich which was very tasteful and came right out and quick. I do love that they cater so I plan to order some treats in the future. The ambiance is set like most Cuban cafes I've been to simple tropical and with lots of Spanish music, como tiene que ser!!! Pura salsa y un poquito de reggaeton, merengue, baladas y bachata. I definitely want to come here when they are open I wish they were open 1-2 hours later to get food for dinner, but that's ok a lunch treat is fine. Or early dinner I guess. I've recommended it to a few of my Puerto Rican friends and family to see their opinion. Good luck out here we need more Cuban Puerto Rican food. read more

This place is the real deal. The prices are beyond reasonable, but the food? That's the kind of soulful, home-cooked Cuban comfort that hits every note. The decor is warm and inviting, charming without trying too hard and you get the sense that everyone here knows each other. And if they don't, they will by the time the check comes. It's that kind of place. I ordered the ropa vieja sandwich, and I can't stop thinking about it. The shredded beef was rich, tender, and perfectly seasoned, tucked into pillowy Cuban bread that had just the right amount of crunch. It was layered with sautéed onions and just enough sauce to make every bite flavorful without being messy. Paired with the golden, crispy fries, it was the kind of lunch that makes you question why you'd ever eat anywhere else. Also, don't miss the table that's allegedly reserved for the Cuban mafia. It's a hilarious, iconic touch that just adds to the personality of this gem. If you're looking for warmth, flavor, and a seat at the family table, this is where you go. Speaking of family, my family and I love to come here, mostly for lunch, but dinner is great too. read more

Solid place for when you need a Cuban sandwich in your life. The sweet plantains and a churro always are a great way to finish the meal. This is one of my regular stops! read more

Returned to Churros after many years of absence (no idea why... life?) I was craving a combo of a Medianoche Sandwich and a serving of nostalgia. Got both in spades. The sandwich was perfect: classic cuban components of roast pork, ham, melty cheese with pickle and mustard on an eggy roll, pressed and warm. Nostalgia dish? The yucca con mojo. Yeah, it's carbs on steroids but sooo yummy. This was one of the 2 sides DH got with his Lechon Asado. The other being spot-on Maduros. This place has been around for years and was even better than I remember. Yum, yum, go get you some!! read more

I've been feenin' for a Cuban sandwich for a minute now and was excited when I accidentally found this little Cuban Cafe tucked away behind the Clearview Mall. Being an SFL native, I had access to lots of Latin and Caribbean foods and I miss them all dearly. I ordered my Cuban sandwich and a side of plantains for $14.38. My excitement and smile was quickly turned upside down. The sandwich was dry and lacked taste. The roast pork wasn't seasoned very well and they only give a very thin slice of ham. Normally, Cuban sandwiches are stacked with both and has some moisture inside. Mr. Jose and staff are friendly and I'm going to give them one more chance to make their signature sandwich the way it's supposed to be made. There is a good selection of other entrees on their menu and depending on my sandwich do over, I'll continue to patron them. read more

I love the food at Churros, especially their Cuban. Their daily specials have never disappointed me either. Today I had the Cuban sandwich and it was delicious, as always. The hubs went with the arroz con pollo and I had more than just one bite because it was that good. Excellent food and decent service. It's worth a stop for authentic Cuban food. read more

Churros Cafe - the interior of a restaurant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Best churros of not only metarie but including New Orleans area and clean. Good service

Churros Cafe! I finally do a review on this place. One of the best Cuban places in Metairie. I grew up coming here because it is right next door to my dad's shop, and from an early age, I loved getting their homemade churros. As I got older, I ventured out into their other dishes and found one of my absolute favorites, the Chori Pan. It's a sandwich that is simple, but delicious. It's made with chorizo and Swiss cheese and it's also got an amazing sauce on it. They press it flat and grill it to perfection until all of the cheese is melted and it's ooey gooey and savory. Perfect thing for me to order ahead on the ride home from work and enjoy in their small, eclectic dining room. Vivian and Jose have done this right for over two decades now, I believe. Here's to many more to come for Churros Cafe! Outstanding! Cheers! read more

If you crave Cuban food this is the place to go, great food and service - go try it out

Food tastes great. What wasn't great was the price you have to pay for nothing. So the meal doesn't come with the rice or beans so it's actually a side that you choose two from. RICE IF ANYTHING SHOULD COME WITH THE MEAL. It's very deceiving from the picture when ordering online. Won't be getting the meals from here again, if anything the churros read more

I love this place, been going for years! In my opinion, they have the Best Cuban sandwich, I've also enjoyed their cuban steak, churros, chicken fricase, and the mango shake is refreshing! If you haven't been, what are you waiting for?! Go!! You won't be disappointed! read more

The food is unmatched. Service is casual and friendly. It's normally a quiet spot. I tell everyone I can who asks about Cuban food. I just need this place to stick around it's the only place that still cooks like Grandpa. read more

The best Cuban sandwich I've ever had outside Hialeah. The restaurant smells like my mother's kitchen. Felt at home. Friendly owners.

Delicious and friendly. Food was great! Really enjoyed the churros which are made fresh and served plain which you can then dress with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar or both! So good! Also the fresh blended fruit drinks are great. We had the cubano sandwich, empanadas & churros. As well as mango drink & tamarind drink. The beef empanada was better than the chicken. Can't wait to try more. read more

Another Yelp-er had written a review recently on a Cuban restaurant near where she lives and raved about it. She had been to several other Cuban restaurants. I decided that I needed to try it. I did a simple search on YELP, and found this and another restaurant, which I have not yet tried, but will soon. Let's get back to Churros Cafe. This is the restaurant ran and operated by the older mom and grandma and made smooth but the older dad talking everyone up. At least that's the impression I get. They have a table reserved for a permanent birthday party in the back, and one for the Cuban mafia. I have seen a party at one, but I haven't yet seen the mafia table occupied yet. The parking lot is shared with the rest of this small strip mall, which is located on Kingman Street, the nearest major place being the Sears end of Clearview Mall. There are about a dozen tables or so inside. My first meal, I had the Albondigas, which is meatballs in a sauce that is kind of sweet and spicy at the same time, rice and the fried plantains. This was an awesome dish that when I could not finish it, was good reheated the next day. I was the only customer dining in this visit. My second visit was on Cinco De Mayo, and let me tell you, this place was 3/4 full of Spanish speaking people, which to me is an indicator of something good. I had the Picodillo A Lo Cubano, which is ground beef simmered with peas, potatoes, and bell pepper. Also, I had the white rice, fried plantains and the toasted bread. This was amazing. The interior of the restaurant is neat and clean. Granted, I believe this is my first time ever having Cuban food, but this was amazing. I think this is well worth the stop. In the evenings, the other businesses are not open, so there is plenty of parking. I would suggest everyone come by. read more

Churros Cafe was my first run in with Cuban food a few years ago. I've been coming back here ever since. My fave is the Medianoche (midnight) sandwich and their freshly squeezed exotic fruit juices. Authentic and delicious all around! The midnight bread is soft, light and fluffy and the pork, ham, cheese, mustard, and pickles all complement each other very well. I honestly haven't tried much else, because every time I come here, I crave the medianoche sandwich. The restaurant is tucked in on the east side of Clearview mall. The owners are super sweet and even though they prefer Spanish, they'll get your order in English too. There's even a table for the Cuban Mafia, a variety of funny and whimsical signs (such as trade coffee for gossip), and pictures of all the exotic fruits they use to make their juices. Oh and if you have a business card, drop it in for their weekly draws..you might win yourself a free meal! read more

This is the best cuban restaurant that I know of in NOLA. This is actually one of my top places to eat in the whole city. The rest of the city can go to overly crowded/rated Coop's Place or Drago's. Give me Churros any day of the week. A local family-owned restaurant that serves their food with love and devotion. The atmosphere is very laid-back and relaxing. The menu boasts a lot of familiar cuban dishes such as roast pork with congri and yucca, shredded beef with rice and tostones, and a Cuban sandwich. I come often for lunch as they have great lunch specials during the week. Love their Tues, Wed, and Thurs lunch specials (Tues is beef stew, Wed is chicken fricase with rice or you can have shredded beef, black beans, and rice. Thurs is roast pork, yucca, and congri). Lunch specials are a great bargain at $8.25. Can't get any better food and service for that price! Oh yeah also try the churros (Cuba's version of a beignet. It's a fried dough stick). Simply addictive!! read more

Went here to try the Cubano. Delicious. Filling. Great for a lunch, except I'm not in Metairie all that often for lunch. For anyone that knows restaurants in Portland, OR, I used to love Pambiche. I wish I could go in for dinner and order things like Lengua en Salsa and Ropa Vieja. Maybe they serve those things when they are open for dinner? But anyway, I also tried the empanada and the fried plantains, both of which were delightful. I will return if I am in the area while they are open. read more

My fiancé and I came here for lunch. The service was friendly but extremely slow- it took over 45 minutes for our food to come. We ordered an empanadas appetizer, which was good but came with ketchup which I though was strange. We split a Choripan sandwich, which wasn't anything like what I have had before....usually it has butterflied sausage on it, but this one had slices that were so thin you couldn't taste it at all. We also split an arroz con pollo, which needed some salt and pepper but was pretty good. All in all, it took way to long and was pretty highly priced. We probably will not be back. read more

This place has the best Cuban and Media Noche sandwiches in Metairie or New Orleans. Highly recommended.

Looks good from here but I'll update this review when I eventually make it to Metairie. So hello Churros Cafe, I'm coming to see you great people this weekend from the city of progress, Hialeah. Reviews look good and pictures are visually appetizing so I'm looking forward to fare I'm very familiar with and hoping for a unique twist. read more

Word on the street is this place has the best Cubano sandwich and churros! Hubby and I came on a Monday for lunch (11:45am). Hidden mom/pop type kinda cafe...Place your orders at the counter and grab a seat. We decided to order a Cuban sandwich, beef empanada, and fried plantains. Tried ordering churros but was told no churros until after 2pm! What kind of place is named after churros and none available?! Super sad. Cuban sandwich was a decent size. Sandwich was lacking a bit. Hubby liked the texture of the empanada. We received one and not like a few like other reviews posted. Fried plantains were a bit soggy but who doesn't love a sweet ripen plantain? Maybe we'll be back for churros next time.. read more

This is a Jem in the heart of Metairie. We tried the Papa Rellena which is a fried potato ball stuffed with cheese, they were light and delicious. I had the Cuban Sandwich which was spot on. The Beef Empanadas were full of flavor. Also tried Azzoz con Pollo very simple but full of flavor, a yellow rice and chicken casserole type of dish. It was a great experience. read more

Located in a strip mall close to Clearview Shopping Center on Kingman St. You place your order at the counter , pay , and grab a table and someone brings your food when it's ready. I had the Cuban sandwich with very nice crisp bread and full of pork , ham and cheese. The sweet fried plantains are prepared just right. One observation I have is that every time I go to Churros Cafe there is a large empty table with a placard that says "Reserved for Cuban Mafia". Since I have only always seen this table empty ,I can only conclude that the Cuban Mafia is in hiding or in jail. Other than that , the Cuban food here is pretty good. read more

Good food and service! Recommend the Cuban sandwich. The chorizo pan sandwich was more like a grilled swiss cheese, there wasn't enough meat to taste. read more

Food was pretty good but ah this is overpricedddd!! And that waitress was so rude, she took the hat off my head saying it's rude to wear them. Really it's a stupid tradition. Other than that, they are nice people read more

Yes, they have the best Cuban sandwiches, but it's SO much more than that. Try their traditional menu items. It's grandmas' recipes that no one else can duplicate because of the love she puts into them! Best to go with an empty stomach, try a sampler plate of starters with the best mojito you will ever drink, follow with one of grandmas' special plates, then close with some churros and delicious cuban coffee! read more

There is no such thing as a light lunch in or around NOLA, not when you're on vacation at least. But who's really complaining when the lunch specials are this good and generous? The Churros Cafe daily special was chicken and rice. They did not skimp on the chicken. Or the rice. Seriously, there were two full servings of rice on my plate. Did I have to eat all of it right then and there? No. Did I do it anyway? Yes. Hell, yes. It was so perfectly moist and fluffy and flavorful...it's the Filipino in me who simply can't resist OD-ing on rice. The chicken was pretty good too, especially sprinkled with some of their homemade hot sauce. They actually have a variety of hot sauces that you obtain from the shelf on the wall, along with utensils, napkins and other condiments. The plantains that came with my dish were also perfectly cooked - there was a slight crispness on the outside, and all the yummy softness inside. I took a bite out of my fiance's choripan sandwich, which resembled a Cuban, and almost wished I had ordered that. The pork and the cheese in the pressed sandwich was devilishly delicious. But then I wouldn't have had plantains. Or rice. The mango shake I ordered helped to wash it all down. For all that food and a shake, I spent less than $13. Lunch may not have been light on my stomach, but at least it was light on my wallet. read more

The lunch specials are really not very impressive to me and I don't find them to be a good value. In fact I would NEVER eat the Monday special of the Cuban steak ever again. Perhaps the other items on the menu are far better but after sampling several of the lunch specials I'm just not impressed. They do provide very rapid turn around on your order and the specials are served within minutes of ordering them. Service is non-existent here and you just order at the counter and they put your food out on the counter when its ready. Pho Orchid is a block away from here and I much prefer lunch there. I will return to sample the dinner menu at some point and see if that brings some greater love to the disappointment I've experienced here so far. read more

Now that was a Mojito! Browsing Yelp for someplace new to try and came across the Churro reviews. Cuban??? High rating, but not many reviews. Hmmm, is this one of those restaurants with 8 reviews, all owners or employees? Average number of reviews is like 3? Surprisingly... no! I'm intrigued.... and it is conveniently located on the same street as my dentist. Not really sure what is convenient about that.... I guess I didn't have to figure out how to get there. 7:00 PM on Saturday evening. Churros is located in a sleepy strip mall about a block and a half south of Veterans. We did a quick drive-by to check it out and were cheered to see bright lights and customers. Parking was no problem. Probably holds 50+, about 15 people seated when we arrived. Variety of tables and seating, not bad. Nothing exciting about the decor, but clean, bright and cheery. Based on other reviews, we were expecting to order at the counter, but, in fact, there is table service. This is very casual, laid back atmosphere. Our waitress was an experienced senior citizen, I gathered a friend of the owners. I'm generally not a fan of service help with personality, but this was a great experience. We started with drinks, a mojito and a beer. The mojito was excellent and I can say we have sampled them across the city. When we mentioned that to the waitress, it turns out she had made them and proceeded to exchange notes on the perfect mojito. It's a secret (shhhhhh!) but they use raw sugar instead of simple syrup, some kind of concentrated flavor mix and fresh mint leaves that are growing in the front of the shop. She actually rounded up samples so we could try them at home - we did, wasn't as good. On to the food - Cubano and Medianoche don't look that big, but there is a lot of food inside and they are pretty filling. Very good, could have used a shot of Zatarain's Creole Mustard (but what couldn't?). There isn't a lot of opportunity to order Cubans around the city, but this is the best one I have had. Fried plantains were kind of boring. The rice and beans were delicious - next time I'm going to double up on the rice and skip the plantains. I am definitely going back, maybe lunch today. $50 for food, drinks, tip and complementary mojito ingredients. read more

Since I am from South Florida, Cuban cuisine is just a part of my culture. Being in Metairie I was starting to feel a little deprived and so I sought out a place to fill that void in my life. With a little searching, I discovered Churros Cafe and headed to the small restaurant to get some food. Located in a strip mall, visually it left much to be desired so I found it best to just grab my food and go, although next time I will probably dine in. It seems that they specialize in Cuban sandwiches but offer Empanadas and simply things like soups and salads. In addition to that, they also have daily lunch specials. I happened to go when the special for the day was Cuban Steak with Red Beans and Rice. I was surprised that they did not have black beans and instead red beans but since red beans are such a staple in New Orleans, I wasn't too surprised. The food was good and met my expectations. The steak was tender and the flavor of the food overall was on point. I also ordered a side of plantains. They were tasty and sweet, I just don't like when they are cut so thick. I finished off my meal with Churros. These were some really amazing Churros! They claim to make them from scratch and my mouth agreed. They were great and would have been even greater had I had some chocolate to go with it. Although the food isn't what I would call "authentic" Cuban food, with the Southern twist, it created a nice take on Cuban Cuisine that I enjoyed. I cannot wait to go back. read more
