    A real gem! I have never seen another restaurant in the US offering a croquette sandwich! If you know how much work goes into making croquettes you know this is special. The ham croquettes are fried in corn meal and a taste amazing. Order them alone or better in a pressed sandwich here! Ask them to hold the ketchup and mustard and use just mayo instead. Trust me as a Cuban growing up this is how we ate these. I ordered the deluxe croquette sandwich which combines it with ham and cheese. My only issue is the ham and cheese were cold. Removed. Skipping those as everything is better hot and melty with Cuban sandwiches. The fried plantains were wonderful. Ask for salt to salt these babies! We Cubans love our salted food! It's too hot to eat outside right now but the place has a great retro look and is meant for drive through and pick up. Now I need to keep driving across GA to eat this wonderful food!

    This was a really fabulous lunch. I wish I lived closer and I would come here all the time. I absolutely believe the Cuban sandwich was the best one I've ever had. The meat was perfectly seasoned tender and juicy. I love the bread as well. It was Cuban bread that had a crispiness to it but it was also soft. They balance those two perfectly so that you didn't have to tear off bites with your teeth but a provided a great texture as well. They gave a perfect assortment of condiments and pickles on the sandwich too and the fries were very good. The price was also super cheap so it's one of the best values you can find as well. Lastly, they were also very fast. I love that they have a drive-thru that you can hit and keep going when you're in a hurry but don't have to settle for chain fast food. If I'm in the area I'm definitely stopping by again.

    Don't let the atmosphere fool you. This is amazing chef made Cuban food. Took the whole family and I couldn't keep up with all the "this is the best" ... I've ever had. Stop by and let Chef Joel make a Cuban sandwich or a "best potato ball I've ever had".

    Take out, half a Cuban with rice and beans.

    So I frequent the business next door on weekends and this place was always closed, then I actually read about Cuban Cafe and well it's open M-F, come to find out they use the place for catering on weekends. Went for lunch, the lady taking the order was super helpful, explained everything on the menu and just had a wonderful positive attitude. I got a Cuban sandwich with two sides, rice and beans. The sandwich was wonderful and both sides were excellent, only wish, I wanted an extra pickle slice on my sandwich, otherwise so awesome. I did try the fried plantains and chicken empanadas and both were excellent. I really couldn't recommend this establishment more. Note on the seating, it's all outside, there are several tables with umbrellas so if it's windy or raining get it to go like I did.

    Cuban Cafe in Flowery Branch (Oakwood) opened up shortly ago and they hit the Cuban sandwich spot!! I typically like to tag the locations but I don't see them on social media yet Pictured here is their MEDIA NOCHE sandwich (roasted pork, smoked ham, swiss cheese, pickles and mustard) and their CROQUETTE sandwich along with a chicken and beef empanadas. Both empanadas pair up very well with their cilantro sauce but I preferred the chicken empanada, very flavorful. They also have a pink sauce available if that's what you prefer. Cuban sandwiches can sometimes suffer of dryness but not at this spot! Their roasted pork was so tender and juicy, it took care of that issue I normally find with these type of sandwiches. The bread was perfectly pressed and easy to eat. Some may think the sandwich is smaller than the usual Cuban sandwich but for 10 bucks, $12 if you elect to have a meal with a side and a drink, this is a delicious steal of a meal. Their dining area is outside with some nice umbrellas and music (no indoor) so it may be difficult with this heat wave we've had lately but even with the heat, I was very happy. You'll get all your goodies in a big ol brown shopping bag so just place your order at the window, grab your drink and sit down for some good Cuban food! They do have a drivethru if you elect to skip the whole heat thing but why not pretend like it's just Cuban heat!! By the way... side of french fries, rice and plantains were all delicious although I wish I had cheese to go along with my platanos Check them out and help support our local small food businesses!! #rolieats #goodeats #goodfood #rolireview #cubanfood #cubansandwich #medianoche #croquette #croquettesandwich #empanadas #dinner #newfoodbusiness #flowerybranch #happybelly

    Empanadas are all served with a white garlic sauce. Delicious! $3 each. Woman at service counter is friendly and the food comes out hot and quickly. Also Empanadas are good large size, not like these pathetic small ones I see often at other restaurants.

    I finally stop by the Cuban Cafe and discovered a hidden gem. My sandwich was delicious served fresh & hot. My hostess was professional and fun. This spot is now in my rotation.

    Why in the world is Mambo's Café so far away? I need this restaurant to be right across the street…read morefrom my house so I could go every day. Let's talk about it. LOL Mambo's Cafe is located in Buford, Ga which is Northeast of Atlanta. When we entered the restaurant after our 5k, we were seated immediately and I will say Im glad we showed up when we did, because when we left people were everywhere waiting to be seated. So, Our waitress was amazing, she didnt miss a beat all the questions we had, she answered! We started off a complementary garlic bread with a Verde sauce. It was green with a pinch of spicy, but it was very good. Next, we ordered the beef empanadas and they cut them up for us so that everybody could sample them. They were so good. I had to get an order to go to take them home to my husband. For my drink, I ordered a pink lemonade. It was almost like I needed some sugar and I knew that would hit the eight spot even though it was carbonated it still was good. For the main train I went with ANGUS CHURRASCO STEAK!! Medium well of course! Wowwwwww!! This steak was top-tier. I enjoyed every bit of it, and what I could eat. Of course, I had to take the rest of them. It came with an option of beans I went with black beans plantains in a Spanish rice, which was amazing. The chimichurri sauce that came on the steak was was flavorful yeah, I even asked for some to take home and verde sauce as well. Lol The steak was tender outside skirt steak grilled and topped with our famous chimichurri sauce (garlic, fresh herbs and olive oil). $28 My entire bill with $58 including the takeout empanadas I will most definitely be going back. I enjoyed every minute of this restaurant.

It's counter service--you order at the register, find a seat (there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating), and they'll bring your food out. I ordered the fish taco combo, which came with two fish tacos, yuca fries, and a canned drink. The tacos were good, but I wasn't a huge fan of the menu changes. Everything is a combo now, and I was told I couldn't order the tacos by themselves. I wish they'd bring back the à la carte option because I'd rather try a few different things than be locked into one meal. The yuca fry portion was also smaller than I expected--I only got about five fries. Overall, it's still a spot I'd recommend if you're visiting Athens since it's been a local favorite for so long. I just left a little less impressed than I remember being the last time I was here.
