Cuban Cafe - Cuban Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

Don't be deterred by this cafe's location at the Citgo Station. This place is awesome! We enjoyed the Cuban Sandwich, coffee and several pastelitos. The owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming. This is the place we will miss the most when we reminisce about our trip to Pompano Beach. read more

Quick easy to order. I had the pan con bistec and the bread was perfectly toasted. The steak was a little over cooked but the flavors came Together well. If I'm in the area again I'll deff stop by. Friendly staff as well. This isn't a fancy place just a nice small spot to eat and go. They have a little counter to sit on if you dine in. I'm not a coffee drinker but the coffee I smelled was authentic. read more

With 4 of my co-workers down here to help me out with Yelp Spring Break I knew I needed to get them some food from my motherland at one point or another. Our event in Pompano Beach was the perfect excuse! Picked up for the team a medley of delicious cuban treats - Media noches - delicious! Super staked with pork, ham, cheese and pickles on a sweet bread. Media Noches are my favorite sandwich of all time. These were great! Pastelitos de guava, pastelitos de queso, pastelitos de guava y queso - all of them were great! flaky, good amount of guava/cheese. Perhaps the best pastelitos I have found in BPB so far. Tostadas (toast) - I mean, it's cuban bread with butter. Solid. Jupina - pineapple soda that reminds me of my childhood. You can get this anywhere, but man I love it. Cafe Con Leche - Super sweet....just how I like it. Really great coffee! The place is tiny - get carry out (or they deliver). We cleared them out of pastelitos (granted, we got a lot) so make sure you come early if you want those bad boys, I heard the bring them in from a place in Hialeah (so you know they are legit!). As swamped as they were, the service was really good - and they banged out our massive order super fast. Even ordering a TON of stuff, the bill wasn't all that much....so it's super affordable for a quick, delicious lunch. I'll be back again to get my Cuban fix! read more

Cuban Café is to authentic, neighborhood cuban food as Celia Cruz is to salsa music. They have put Pompano Beach on the map for all the good stuff you would find everywhere in Hialeah. A pet peeve I've developed (as if there is not enough 1st world problems), is Yelpers stating that they denoted a percentage of their rating based on location (abandon-looking strip malls, locating next to somewhere unexpected,ect.). With that said, located on a non-favorable street, underdeveloped plaza, next to a run down tile store,almost might turn a potential patron away. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or in this case, your taste buds. Immediately greeted when entering, even with counter full of patrons. I was treated as if all attention was on me, and my request(s) being 1st priority. I was overhearing the owner? answering orders on the phone (ringing every 5min.), and seemed like those on the receiving side were granted a favor from the café versus the café granted a favor from receiving business. It says A LOT when the employees know the customers well and talk amongst one another like family. I ordered breakfast (serve all day)-2 eggs, sausage or bacon (I chose no meat so they gave me cheese on top of my eggs), cuban toast, potatoes, and coffee. TRY THEIR CAFE CON LECHE! Dip cuban toast in it and you can die happy. I added a side of sweet plantains-perfection! The potatoes were golden, crispy, fresh. On my 1st visit, I had their guava and cheese pastry; delish. They have specials everyday (seems like their most popular). Prices are great, portions matched, diner style-no booths/tables. ***MINIMUM $8 ON CREDIT CARDS*** read more

OK....I'm a bit of a snob when a place claimes to be a cuban cafe......what does this place do that the other places in broward or dade do not???? Provide cuban bread and cheese. Yes, this is HUGE. I am friends with many cubans, half claim cheese bread is a cuban staple, the other claims that cuban bread and cheese is not "cuban". Those that claim cheese bread is not cuban are fucking posers..OK?!What the fuck dude, I've been around and I know that if a place claims to be authentic cuban, posters of Didier Hernandez or Daniel Rene do not make you authentic by any means. Frothy mutha fucking cuban coffee that is referred to as a "buchee" and some warm crusty bread and cheese will get you the "classic cuban" stamp. This place gets that stamp. Extremely friendly, well priced, unpretentious, non ghetto, no cheap shit coffee grain, is now an everyday stop. Why no 5 star??? because I am a badass critic that requires shredded lettuce and tomato on my cuban mix....and BTW a cuban mix does not require swiss cheese........yellow american brutha. If you don't like what I write here, well fuck you and go ahead and try this place out anyways, the staff is beyond sweet and extremely warm to anybody that swings by. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover. This restaurant is easy to miss. if you miss it you'll be sorry you did. Great flavors and a good variety on the menu wait for you once you come through quite a nondescript looking entrance. As others have mentioned it's a very small place with just stool lining the counter and the wall. Food is fresh fast and it just what you would expect at a Cuban Café... Delicious Enjoy the fresh fish black beans and rice read more

First off, let me say that this place does not even deserve 1 STAR. I refuse to ever step foot inside this dump ever again for the following reasons : 1.) The door has a sign stating that you must wear a mask, however none of the employees, given the state of the Pandemic and Florida being one of the 9 HOT SPOTS for the COVID 19 virus, were wearing masks. I believe they are endangering themselves and the public by not wearing or practicing safe PPE ! 2.) Upon entering there was NOT 1 single employee who said hello, can I help you ? The so called cashier, who was intrigued by whatever garbage he was looking at on his cell phone, did not look up once to see me standing there waiting for assistance. 3.) The time of day in which I decided to go and get a coffee, was not busy but with one client placing an order, myself and another client who walked in and was attended to before I was even acknowledged. I walked out furious and I WILL NEVER COME BACK HERE AGAIN. Do yourself a favor and if you are looking for a Cuban Cafe with good food, great coffee and a smile with your service, don't come here because you will not find it at this crappy hole !!!! read more

Excellent food here! I eaten here for years. Always great service, friendly. A bit hard to find this lil joint, yet when you do, you won't forget it. Good breakfast, lunch. Excellent prices. And of course great coffee! The orange juice machine I loved when my kids were young, feeling sick, one glass would cure them! And it's fun to watch. Laura is amazing owner, her son at register is cool. I order takeout/catering for parties, my guests love it every time! Thank you! read more

This place has been consistently great since I first walked in more than 10 years ago.

Worth it cause it's yummy to my tummy and worth my money. I pulled up and thought it was sketchy and it's a tiny place but when I walked in it was full of Cubans on their lunch break grabbing a bite to eat and drinking expresso. The grill chicken sandwich is 6.50 and filling so good ! So is the empanadas. So is the coffee. read more

If I had to describe this place in one word: authentic. Whatever you think of when you think of Cuban food, they probably have it. If you just want a café con leche, you can get a great one there too. I had a café and cheese toast. It was perfect. I also got a freshly squeezed orange juice to go. I'll be back. read more

Fast service to begin with! The food here is always so delicious. They customize your plate if you dislike the sides it comes with. Del fee is only 1 buck. The owner is beyond friendly when he takes your order and the prices are affordable! You can't beat that! read more

Cuban Cafe - Cuban Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

We were shopping around for Cuban food in the area for an event. We stopped by for lunch and some good coffee. We order a picadillo, a cuban sandwich and a lechón asado. While waiting, we asked if they do catering. The owner told us that he closes at 4pm so he can not help us with catering. Apparently no delivery driver will be available after 3pm. Not good! It seems like the owner has no idea of how to do business. Bad service. Mediocre food. We will keep shopping around. read more

Food was amazing and the coffee was 4stars I highly recommend this place if you wanna a little taste of Cuba. Black beans and rice are to die for food was so delicious I didn't have a chance to take a photo read more

The Cuban sandwich was delicious. Fries were fresh. Service was very good. The food was worth the price! Loved it! read more

Great service. Very authentic bar stool set up. The servers were bilingual which made it easy for my American girlfriend to order. I ordered the Cuban breakfast special. At 3pm they were nice enough to make it even though they stopped serving breakfast at 11. The coffee was perfectly made with sugar in it. A vagrant walked in asking for toast and the owner of the restaurant was nice enough to make him a ham and cheese sandwich. read more

Cuban Cafe - Midnight sandwich. 3/5 stars - Cuban Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

We popped in here for a quick bite of lunch. After pulling into the carpark, we were prepared for a second rate experience. From the outside the premises look tired and the carpark is grubby. Undaunted, we sallied forth. As we walked in we were met with multiple friendly greetings...and we noticed the clientele was distinctly Cuban in appearance. And an appropriate ethnic presence, in an ethnic cafe, is always a good thing. It's rightly described as a hole-in-the-wall type eatery with a dozen stools in front of a u-shaped counter. The menu is varied, Cuban and quite cheap. Miss had media noche, I had empanadas. Both were very good. The crew is mostly friendly and laid back, food handling seems to be good and hygienic, and the service was relatively quick. This place has no pretentions. It is a small, well lived in cafe in a predominantly light-industrial area. The food is good, honest and plentiful. It doesn't set any high culinary bars; it just promises good basic food at a good basic price. And, in that endeavor, Cuban Cafe succeeds. All the above is helped nicely along by the two shorties with the big smiles. I would certainly return when next in the area. read more

Meh. I ordered a Cuban sandwhich and vaca frita. I originally wanted a side of yuca fries, but the lady said I could substitute my included rice and beans with any side. So, I chose yuca and black beans. I was pretty pissed off, when I opened the box and there were THREE fries. The beans were totally unseasoned and bland, and the sandwich was pretty mediocre. It needed more mustard and pickles at least. Very underwhelmed with this place. read more

Was not a fan of the grilled Chicken sandwich I got. The chicken was salty. They did make the food in a short amount of time and I did not have to wait too long. Next time, i will try something different read more

Found this spot through yelp and only think it's fair to add our review. For our family we ordered the cuban sandwich special, traditional breakfast, cafe con leche, guava and cheese pastel and a jugo de mamey. All super delicious, great service, convenient and easy. Highly recommend! read more

This place was tiny, unassuming and freaking delicious. We ordered almost more than we could eat. Even though I was stuffed when we left I was tempted to order and taste everything they made. The smells coming from the kitchen were intoxicating. The Cuban coffee was excellent. read more

This little hole-in-the-wall is a gem! It screams cozy, comfortable old-school diner atmosphere but serves up some awesome grub! A client of mine is of Cuban decent so I asked him to take me to someplace that serves up down-home authentic Cuban cuisine so here brought me here. The special of the day was the oxtail soup. I had to try this because being Korean and coming from Hawaii, oxtail is a big part of both of my cultures. And apparently it is with Cubans too. Their twist on the oxtail was different, in a good way. It was more of a stew-like consistency and I think it was tomato based. Nonetheless, it was awesome! Prices were reasonable and the only gripe I would've had if any, would be the lack of counter/table room. Luckily our timing was perfect and there were two open seats for us. read more

This my new coffee spot, the food is awsome every time, it is a small spot and it is a new comfort spot for me. I will continue to eat my steak eggs and papas here on Saturday morning. read more

Cuban Cafe - My new favorite coffee spot - Cuban Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

Tiny hole in the wall with great food and it shows because everyone there is a regular. The owner knows everyone who are sitting at the counter and everyone picking up their take out orders. The place is tiny with 2 bar countertops and no tables. It's was packed when I went to pick up my food. Everyone seemed to be eating the of tail and they recommended that I get it too. I'm glad I did. It was delicious. I'll be back to try other items on the menu next time I'm in the area. The parking lot is the worst I've seen. Giant pot holes in a tiny lot with barely any spots but there's another lot across the street. Most people do take out. read more

Coming from out of town, we turned to yelp to find authentic Cuban food. This place does not disappoint. Although the place does not look like much from the outside, the sandwiches are delicious and the coffee is great. We ordered the cubano, medianoche and ham croquette. All three sandwiches were delicious. The iced Cuban coffee was delicious as well. If you come with a big party, there is limited seating. read more

The best coffee in South Florida. Whenever I come home to Pompano Beach and I want good strong hot coffee, I come here. I would recommend this place to everyone. read more

Great neighborhood Eatery. Friendly service and reasonable priced menu. We enjoyed chicken empanadas and masas de puerco for lunch. The empanadas were delicious and a great value -$2.50 each. Tiny place with about 10 stools to sit at a counter . No tables to sit at. Can't wait to go back and explore the menu further. What a great lil gem to have in Pompano Beach for all to enjoy. read more

Great food. Ordered the Ropa vieja and cafe con leche. Family had a media noche, lechon asado, banana shake, and guanábana shake. Everything was delicious! The Ropa vieja was very juicy and flavorful. Lechon asado as well. Cafe con leche was a 4, not the best I've had but still very good. Seating first come first serve at the counter, but we found enough chairs in a few minutes as service is quick. So good we came back the next day! Only sad that we missed the Tuesday oxtail special. Maybe next time we are in Pompano. Also they close earlier than we would have hoped. We might have been able to squeeze in a few more visits. But they are primarily a breakfast and lunch joint. read more

Place is the bomb always good food is always fresh very well priced for good size portions. Been coming here for years

Very small, counter only for only about 12 people. They were out of Lechon Asada when I went. Plus there was no room.

visiting from up north, I was planning on a 45 min drive down to Miami for some "real" Cuban food. So glad I jumped on Yelp and saved myself a long drive from Nana's house. We were the only people in the place who didn't speak Spanish, but the entire crew was patient and welcoming. I started with black beans and rice which was perfectly spiced. so simple but so hard to get just right. brought a side home for my daughter and she loved it. Cafe con leche was steaming hot and perfect. Cuban sandwiches were hot and melted, but not greasy. Roasted pork was tender and savory. they were 10" long and full of meat for under $6??? I wish I had room to try the oxtail it looked unbelievable. We'll be back, and Nana will be a regular in the years to come! read more

I love this little joint I come here when I need my Cuban fix. Food is good and the coffee is on point! The food is reasonably priced and the staff is really nice. Every time I stop by for lunch it's always packed! That's how you know it's a good spot. 5/5 read more

I went to eat lunch here. I'm Cuban so I was excited to try their food because there aren't many Cuban food locations around. I was sadly disappointed. The food lacked authentic flavor. Taking a peak at the staff - they did not look Cuban at all. I felt like I was eating "knock-off" food. I won't be coming back. read more

I have never gave a place 5 stars, but there's a first for everything! Everything I tasted was simply amazing. I had the steak sandwich with everything, and boy was it worth every penny! They have daily specials Monday thru Friday and they sell at quick! It's that good! They're open early and close by 4. Great to get stuff before work if you love cuban coffee. Workers were so friendly and love talking to you about anything. I spoke to the owners son while was waiting for my food and he was a great person. Little small cafe, but full of life. I also tried a little of the breaded chicken with cheese melted in top and was amazing. For me to give 5 stars is really hard. Definitely coming again ! read more
