Stopped by this cozy Caribbean spot and had no idea what to order, so I let the sweet lady behind the counter picked for me and she nailed it. Huge plate, packed with flavor. The rice and beans? Perfect. My favorite part. The chicken was juicy, tender, and had just the right kick. Only thing I didn't love? I wanted way more plantains--they were too good to only get a few slices! read more

It's a cute mom & pop shop where they service three types of dishes daily. Noemi (cook & owner) has different dishes every day but no set menu. She's really sweet. She said will always include chicken on the menu. She also makes Cuban sandwiches during the week & can do pick up orders. I absolutely loved the vanilla flan was amazing!!! You could tell it was homemade. The chicken was falling off the bone, literally. I really appreciated that because it's a stew & well I feel like that's just how meat should be. The tostones were 100% the perfect addition to the dish. I'm extremely excited to try Noemi's Cuban sandwiches. read more

Comida Caribeña - Inside of restaurant - Caribbean Near Me - Laredo, Texas

A small but different place for Laredo. I love the cozy atmosphere and the very friendly team at Comida Caribeña. The ropa vieja con tostones y arroz con frijoles is my favorite. Limited menu but fair pricing. They actually close at 7pm, not 8 like Yelp says. read more

Best Cuban food west of Miami. Home made by the owners. Cuban sandwich, arroz con moros, arroz congrí, tostones, yuca frita, bistec con cebolla and even mofongo are served daily in here. Don't leave without trying a café Cubano with flan or a slice of coconut tembleque. read more

Comida Caribeña - Churrasco, fufú y arroz con moros. - Caribbean Near Me - Laredo, Texas

Wanted something different for lunch, so I decided to try this place. It's a small little restaurant on the corner, in not the nicest part of town. I was a little worried at first because I didn't know what to expect, but as soon as I walked inside I was relieved to discover that it was CLEAN. You can tell it is family owned by people who take pride in their business. The young lady who greeted me was very nice and answered all the questions I had about the menu. I wanted to eat some tostones rellenos but didn't see any on the menu. They said they could make them for me anyway. I was very pleased with the food, the hospitality and service. I will definitely be back. read more

The funny part about this is that I haven't found a better Cuban restaurant outside of Laredo, Texas. Go figure! It is by far the best priced, best service, and besting Cuban restaurant ever...at least in my opinion. I've been Cuban restaurants in Miami, Atlanta, and New York...no dice...and the flavor isn't even close to this diamond in the rough. I've tried multiple dishes and I always leave full and with a smile on my face. If you are in town, you have to try this place. It's worth it! read more

Delicious fried pork, black beans & rice, and fried plantain. Service was also prompt and friendly. Atmosphere is casual -- a great place to dine! read more

Legit Cuban food in Laredo. I was born and raised in Miami, and can say that the tostones, moros, and masitas de puerco are spot on. The reason for the four stars (instead of 5) is because of the limited menu. Also, no vaca frita on the menu (the owner says she used to have it on the menu, but it didn't sell...so I get it, but I love me some fried cow). Anyway, visit them early and often for yummy Cuban food. read more

Comida Caribeña - Yummers. Good Cuban cuisine in Laredo - Caribbean Near Me - Laredo, Texas

Good "real" food, their rice it's good enough to make me brake my Keto lifestyle . Most of the time I order masa frita, but the Cuban sandwich it's a must when available. Yellow rice it's good but the rice and beans will make you come back . read more

Pretty good Cuban food, our waiter was friendly and helpful about explaining the menu. Would give more stars but it was pretty warm inside the restaurant. First thing I would change is the temperature inside and also add more menus. read more

This is a surprising find, I am so glad we came here. The food was delicious. Limited selection, but it is because they prepare the meals fresh. I actually prefer that over a huge menu of food that sits in a refrigerator. Got the Masitas de Puerco with arroz Moro and maduros and my wife had the Ropa Vieja with white rice and tostones. Cozy atmosphere and clean. Congratulations on a business well done. read more

At first I was skeptical but wow the food is amazing and the service is one of a kind you feel like your at home very friendly and great food from the rice to the tostones to the ropa vieja and specially that awesome yuca! Love everything!!!!! read more

This is a little gem! As much as I love Mexican food, I needed something different. This place hit the spot. We had, at the recommendation of the owner, the ropa vieja. So good! read more

Great Cuban food. Congri con platanos maduros y bistec. Definitely coming back again. Does not open on Monday's.

It's a cute restaurant. It's really small. The openers are really nice helpful. It's very good traditional Cuban food. The only thing is that I feel it's a bit too expensive. read more

The small restaurant is friendly and comfortable. The food was amazing. I tried the masa de puerco and it was great. The mofongo was as good as I remember it. The rice was fantastic. The portions were a plus. You have to try the empanadas filled with beef and cheese. The service was great. Just a single waitress but she was on top of things. Definitely coming here more often. read more

My go to place when I travel to Laredo. Makes me feel like home; and that is Puerto Rico. The food has an awesome, authentic taste that is great. Roasted pork, chuletas, black beans, Cuban sandwich, chicken stew and more. So good, so tasty! My 5 star rating is just for the food. The location is small and there is only street parking - nevertheless, worth the effort!!! read more

Homemade goodness! My family and I really enjoyed it! The empanadas are a must!!! They are handmade when ordered, not reheated!

Hole in the wall with Authentic Cuban food. Must try their ropa vieja. I went during lunch and it was not too busy.

Was dying for Cuban Food asked a local and had to try it!! Food was excellent!! A staple of the neighborhood and food cooked by Mom. If you ever tired of Mexican in TX then try out this place. Loved Loved Loved it!! read more

We were in Laredo on business, and were looking for a place to have lunch. We passed by this restaurant and decided to try it. It was a very good choice. The place is small and delightful, and it makes you think you really are in Cuba, I ordered "Ropa vieja" which was delicious and abundant. The waitress was very friendly, and the owner even more so. I recommended it to friends in Laredo, and they liked it too. Prices are quite reasonable. read more
