I've lived in the North Dallas area for over 30 years, but I only discovered this place right before we moved. OMG, the food is outstanding; I ate until I couldn't eat any more, and still my mouth wanted more... best pork I've ever had. The staff is wonderful--so friendly and welcoming, like they are inviting you into their home. We didn't speak Spanish, and the staff didn't speak much English. Still, they showed hospitality and cared for their customers, making it one of the best experiences I've had in a very long time. read more

Went on a Saturday for lunch. Not many tables occupied, service was really slow, took quite a while to get our food. The highlight was the shredded beef on the Vaca Frita. Amazing flavor seasoned with Cuban spices and a garlic citrus sauce and grilled onions. We had the Tostones (crispy plantains) and yellow rice as sides. The Tostones were a harder texture than I anticipated, but tasted pretty good. The yellow rice was cold, but had decent flavor. A side of beans was also served which were quite good. Overall it was an OK dining experience. Staff was friendly. Might give it another try when we are in the area. read more

Being Cuban in DFW ain't easy when you're craving some good comida criolla. There's not many options. Unless I'm cooking it, we're not eating it. That was before discovering Cuba Bella on Uber Eats. Must tries are the Picadillo, Masitas de Puerco, and Ropa Vieja. Paired with an ice cold Iron Beer or Materva, you won't be disappointed. read more

Went here for a business lunch. Had the Arroz con Pollo (yellow rice with dark meat chicken) along with a Mojito Cubano. Excelente!! Loved the toasted bread appetizer! One of the best traditional mojitos I've had in quite a while!! Was happy to have a to-go box for the leftover arroz y pollo and the bread...the sign of good portions. Although no so close to home, I will definitely be back ... if only for the mojitos!!! read more

A gem! I'm puertorriqueño and lived in Miami 20 year, believe me when I tell you that this is authentic Cuban food. Passion mojito was delicious, my husband had the masitas de puedo, suer tender and juicy. I had the grilled fillet, moros (rice and beans) and of course tostones. We also tried their sample appetizer and the mariquitas. All delish! Almost forgot we also had the passions and con unit flan (custard) and ended the night with a cafecito. AND took home a few guava pastries, couldn't resist. Come and give them a try, you will not be disappointed. read more

I can't say enough nice things about this restaurant! The food was wonderful, well prepared and delicious. I had a Cuban mom (I.e., one of the group of moms who raised me - my real mom was Greek) who made the best black beans and rice, and Cuba Bella Cafe makes it exactly the same way. Nice to be transported back to age 12! I will definitely be going back! read more

I've only been here once and ordered the Cubana (Cuban sandwich) to go. Service was prompt and friendly! The food was hot and fresh. The sandwich was DELICIOUS! The bread was perfectly grilled - crispy crust and soft inside. I think I'll ask for more pickles next time, I love pickles. The pork was flavorful and tender - it was good meat, not fatty. The fries were crispy and well seasoned. I can't wait to try more items on their menu! read more

WOW!!!! I've been looking for the perfect Cuban restaurant, and I think I may have found it. I've tried Cuban food in Chicago, Los Angeles and Texas....and this by far has been the tastiest restaurant I've ever had. This is what we had For Appetizers: Yuca Frita and Papas Rellenas. Both came with a small dish of mojo. The mojo had so much flavor, the yuca was crunchy and delicious. And the Papas were so smooth inside and had the perfect balance of meat to potato. Our main dishes were: Puerco Asado with white rice and sweet plantains and Masas de Puerco Frita with Congri rice and sweet plantains. Let me start by saying the Puerco Asado was so tender and juicy. I've had this type of pork in other places, and you can tell that it had been refrigerated and warmed up. Usually a quick pan fry to warm up. To me, that takes away from how tender the pork should be. This one was AMAZING, slow roasted with a garlic mojo and onions. The masitas were crunchy on the outside but soft and tender on the inside. That also had the garlic mojo on top with the sautéed onions. The service was fantastic. Our server was sweet and attentive. If you want a cocktail, they have a bar. We opted for a water and a coke. This place knocked our socks off. This will be in our regular spots to dine in read more

Excellent authentic food, super friendly staff and amazing Mojitos! Give them a try. You will not be disappointed.

We ordered the churrasco and the masa's de puerco. The pork chunks were good and very tender. The churrasco with chimichurri sauce was disappointing. The steak was NOT typical churrasco nor was the chimichurri sauce very good. It looked like it was out of a bottle. We also ordered mariquitas which typically are served with a mojo dipping sauce. The sauce was more like mojo out of a bottle was was not freshly made. I grew up in Florida where there is a Cuban restaurant in every corner so maybe my expectations were a little higher. Also I found it to be extremely pricey for what you get. Their menus say on the top in black sharpie 20% increase. Service was good and inside restaurant was nice and clean. Rating purely based on food and price! read more

Enjoyed eating here with a Cuban friend and his niece and my wife. Clean, good service. Luckily I had my friend to interpret to make clear what we wanted. The decor was excellent and interesting. As always, cuban Sandwich my wife had was good. She could only eat 1/2 as they were large and full of meat etc. Appetizers were very good. The food is authentic as my Cuban Friend who moved her 15 years ago testified to. Tables are not crowded together and conversation was easy read more

Interior decor was cute! Service was good. I haven't had Cuban food in years, & this place met my cravings today. The black beans were tasty and my pork was perfectly tender! read more

I LOVE a Cuban sandwich. This one was good - and large, it just could have been so much improved with the right kind of bread (and maybe more cheese) and if it were "pressed" more. The pork was good quality, and it had all the tastes, except the crispy, slightly greasy pressed bread part (which in my opinion is the most important part). read more

I met some friends here, very adorable/super clean inside and the food was absolutely delicious and made fresh!

Have ordered take out twice from Cuba Bella and was really impressed with the quality. Sometimes food doesn't travel well but somehow their fries stayed the perfect texture and the Cuban sandwiches were very good both times I ordered. I got the chicken the first time and ropa vieja the second time. Both great! read more

We had an early dinner here on a Sunday recently. Don't be discouraged by the construction going on (as of this writing), it's open and operating normally. Perusing the menu, my dining partner requested a passion fruit shake, which she really loved. I had a taste, and it was thick and sweet, a nice refreshment on a warm day. Moving to the food, we started with papas rellenas, potatoes stuffed with Cuban picadillo. The picadillo was spiced well and made a great complement to the soft potato. A nice starter. I also selected the caldoza (soup), and it was really nice. Featuring pork, potatoes, sweet potatoes, malanga, pumpkin, and corn, it had a lot going on, but didn't feel too "busy". The pumpkin and sweet potato lent a mild sweetness and color, and the pork was tender and delicious. We also had yuca frita, which was a great example of the dish. Perfectly crisped on the outside, yet still soft on the inside, it also featured a delicious ajo sauce that I could have just drank from a glass. For the main course, we shared the rabo encendido Cubano (oxtail). It was served with black beans which my partner said were some of the best she's had at a restaurant (I enjoyed them as well). The oxtail was meaty and delicious, and the wine and tomato sauce was rich and tasty. It could have used a bit more sazon, but it was really good and tender, and we didn't have to fight it off of the bone. This was a nice meal, and I'd definitely come back here to try some other dishes as well. I'd love to try their Cuban sandwich; I'm always in search of a good one. read more

Food is delicious. I ordered for the sampler and the oxtail. Service is quick. Ambiance is quiet. The oxtail is expensive for 31$. I hope they can lower the price to at least 22-25$. read more

First time in and such a great find. Wow, the food is incredibly flavourful and service is on point. Highly recommend. We will be back with friends! read more

Clean hole on the wall. I will say my opinion is based on Cuban sandwiches only. Been there once just for the Cuban. It is just average a bit dry, tasteless and bread did not taste fresh at all. The fries were very crispy and hot. Service is ok. May comeback for the food read more

Met clients and this place was a hit. Servings were more than generous! Ambience isn't fancy but it's fun. I'll definitely go back.

Truly authentic Cuban food. My favorite Cuban restaurant in Dallas!! Way better than any Cuban restaurant I've been in Miami.

Uffff. If yall are looking for traditional cuban cuisine, you found it. This place made me feel like i just walked into a south Florida Cafe, the ambiance was uncanny. I was missing Miami so i found this place. And I'm so glad i did. The mojo-'chefs kiss'. The tostones perfecto. Tostones rellenos con camerones tasted just like i remember. If i didn't know any better i would think i was back home. Masitas frita, cooked to perfection. I can not wait to come back and try the churrasco. I will definitely be coming here again. Even the service from Sandra was outstanding- she was so sweet. 10/10 recommend for anyone who knows good cuban food or is seeking it out. read more

OMG!!! visiting the lone star state and stumbled on this little gem. The cortadito was so good with their homemade guava pastelitos. The Cubano sandwich was on POINT!!! I'll tell you what, when this BORICUA will be back!! read more

Very good Cuban food and I'm excited they are in our neck of the woods! I had pechuga de pollo (my usual Cuban dish) and it was quite good. Tender chicken and good sides-especially like the plantains, which had a great carmelization on them. Hubby got a sandwich and like the meat, but though overall it was a bit dry. Next time (and there will be a next time), he'll try his usual, Ropa Viejo. read more

We knew nothing about Cuban food but met our eldest son there at his request. Memorial Day and a little quiet but consistent. The guys both had sandwiches. They were large and presented beautifully. Fries were average in taste but fresh. I had plantain nachos and it was wonderful. I chose between beef and pork for the topping and it included sliced olives. Not Mexican nachos for sure. Not spicy but very filling and great texture. Lots of action as we were leaving and it seemed we were the only ones there not fluent in Spanish. Good service. read more

Where to begin? The food was EXCELLENT! So here's what we ordered: - croquetas de pescado: SO good! Fried to perfection. Fish was delicious. - mojitos: light, refreshing and flavorful - Cuba Libre: strong and sweet - Bistec Encebollado: tender, strong garlic flavors and grilled onions - pollo frito a la criolla: skin crispy and seasoned, chicken moist - tres leches: moist and sweet! Overall: This place is a little hidden gem! The food was SO good! The service was great, and the restaurant was clean. We loved our drinks and food. We will definitely be back. It felt like a restaurant in Havana, the flavor was so crazy! read more

My wife got the pan con ropa vieja and I got the Cubano. They both came with fries. Everything was excellent.

Coming back from my vacation in Miami, I was craving a Cuban spot with delicious food and drinks...I somehow stumbled upon this spot. I am so grateful that I did. I know a good Cuban restaurant when I see one and this spot has it all. I ordered the chicken with the yellow rice and black beans --I forget the actual name (I could be still drunk from their Mojito lol). When I tell you it was so flavorful, it was so delicious! Of course you can't go wrong pairing the meal with a refreshing Mojito. The venue is clean and the staff are so kind. You can't go wrong with this place! Try it! read more

By far the best, authentic Cuban food I've tasted in the DFW! Everything I've tried so far has been delicious starting from the tasty Piña Coladas cocktails to their delicious Cuba Bella Sampler that includes a little taste of Cuban flavors appetizers! Yummy!!! For my entree, I definitely recommend the Cerdo Asado with Congri & Tostones! My favorite combo I love the friendly service, family-friendly atmosphere, and great customer service by everyone! Very clean & neat place to relax & enjoy good food! I love that they have live music on Saturdays to enjoy a night out with family and friends & great food! Definitely recommend it read more

Incredible flavor. We had white rice with black beans - and let me say their white rice was absolute perfection. We ordered the pan con bistec y huevo, croquestas de jamon, masitas fritas, tostones rellenos con ropa vieja and empanadas de carne. All had good flavor, however if you have to get ONE thing, make it the masitas fritas. It was the most tender and juicy pork! I also got a cortadito cubano. It was sweet and creamy and delicious. read more

So my mom thought she was ordering authentic Cuban food as a hope you have a better day gesture and she ordered it over the phone from another state. The value of the food was not great. For two cuban sandwiches, two sides and 4 pasteles it was $70. To start the food, not authentic. Everything was burnt or over cooked. The meat on the sandwiches was salty. The yuca was fried like French fries, not the correct way in a pan with butter. The pastels were over cooked and the guava was a slab from the block of guava. The only saving grace was the cheese. The beans were ok but the rice was over cooked. All in all, I loved the gesture my mom tried to make but it didn't help an already crappy day. The staff was friendly and gracious on the phone but not the best food I've had in a while. read more

Really, really good. Great decor. Cuban coffee to start with... bold, flavorful and sweet just like it should be. Wife had Pechuga de Pollo (Grilled chicken in Criollo garlic sauce). I had Ravi Encindino Cubano (Sliw cooked Ox Tails. With black beans and rice). Everything was absolutely delicious. And the presentation was beautiful. Definitely would recommend. read more
