    Roast pork, congri, Yuma, and a side salad. Sweet plantain on the side.

    Everything, this little mom and pop restaurant is very cozy and family oriented. The food is authentic. Nothing frozen, and taste amazing. Service is fast and friendly with a smile.

    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.

    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!!

    I tried Churros Cafe about a Year ago. Cuban Sandwich was sooo good. I also had a Churro, wish I ordered two. I don't frequent the area often but guess where I'm at today. Gonna tear up the Churro and Cuban. So good. Service is good also. Real family style. Ambiance is nostalgic.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

My sister moved to Louisiana two years ago and has always said it's been hard to find truly great food, so we were excited to give this place a try--and it exceeded every expectation.

The tostones were perfection--served hot and crispy on the outside while staying soft and fluffy on the inside. The breakfast arepa was outstanding and paired perfectly with the fresh cilantro dipping sauce. Every bite was packed with flavor, and you could tell everything was made with care. The restaurant itself was spotless, bright, and inviting, creating such a comfortable atmosphere to enjoy a meal. Great food, amazing service, and a clean environment are the perfect combination. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an unforgettable breakfast. It was hands down one of the best breakfasts I've ever had, and I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

You know how it goes... you live somewhere and keep meaning to try a place and suddenly it's like 8 years later and here we are. Exquisite everything... atmosphere, service, cocktails and food. Aperitivo-style dinners (aka girl dinners?) are my favorite. I love a good grazing. We had the seasoned chickpeas which are fried and crunchy but not dry like baked or dried chickpeas. These are the irresistible kind, the melt-in-your-mouth with salty umami goodness kind. The saltines that come with the black bean hummus are seasoned in the same way, fried, I suspect, but I'm not mad about that. I really couldn't stop eating these and don't get me started on the perfect fries. Drinks, ah the drinks. As much as I wanted one of those frozens, with dropping temps outside, I went for a gorgeous Flor de Jamaica. Think citrus-forward, not heavily boozy (vodka). I followed up with the Mary Pickford, which has pineapple juice and normally I would fear for an overly sweet drink but this is not that. It's more on the tangy/sour side of the spectrum. Both drinks are perfectly light and refreshing. It all felt like the indulgence I needed after a frigid week. After dining upstairs, which makes you feel like you're in a chic loft space, we peeked into the courtyard. I cannot wait to return and pretend that I'm in Havana, sipping on an expertly-crafted frozen drink. It really doesn't get any better than this.

I've ordered from Uber Eats plenty of times, but this was my first time actually dining in, and I'm so glad I did. It's a small, cozy spot where you can actually see the food being cooked. It gives "grandmas and aunties are in the back making sure every plate is seasoned with love," and honestly... that's exactly what it tastes like. This time I tried the beef liver with onions and bell peppers, and it was SO good. Perfectly seasoned, tender, and cooked just right. Can we talk about the rice for a second? I don't know what they cook it in, but it has to be some kind of broth because it is hands down some of the best rice I've ever had. Every grain is perfectly cooked. It's not gummy, not hard... just perfect. The refried beans? Absolutely incredible. I brought some home and literally had to hide my leftovers from my daughters because they kept trying to eat my food. I've also had their beef soup (the short rib soup), and it's one of my favorites. Their pupusas are delicious, the pickled cabbage that comes with them is addictive, and the sweet plantains are amazing. I ordered a mojito too. It wasn't super strong, but it was refreshing and paired really well with the meal. The service was excellent. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, and I found out they have free Wi-Fi and a rewards program, which I never knew because I usually order delivery. If you're looking for authentic Honduran food in New Orleans, do yourself a favor and check out Tía Maria's Kitchen. Everything I've tried has been consistently delicious, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.
