This is one of the most authentic Cuban restaurant here in Lakeland it's a very small place with normally just one waitress she's also very nice I had the pork with black beans and rice and sweet plantains don't forget to get your Cafe Con Leche with real sugar it's the bomb the inside is very quaint and they have a lot of different sweets that you can buy but most of the time they're gone so if you see them buy them. Honestly I've been coming here probably 15 years maybe I can't remember. I can honestly say that I've never had a bad meal here ever. read more

Parking can get hectic during lunch time and the seating fills up fast but the food is great. Nice owners. Some things sell out quickly so if you're looking to snag something for a late lunch or dinner, you may miss out. read more

Found this small Cuban restaurant while driving in Lakeland Florida. The service is excellent. Very friendly and the place has a great Cuban vibe. The food is delicious. I had the pork with rice and tostones and I was super impressed with the quality of food and portions. I'm definitely coming back when I'm in Florida again. read more

I'm giving 3 stars to be fair, but I'd like to give zero. We never actually got to eat here. We live in Auburndale/Winter Haven and have been on the search for a decent Cuban sandwich. The reviews on yelp seemed promising. We drove 30 minutes and found it easily. Husband noticed the OPEN sign was not lit. "YELP stated it's open until 6 today." I was starving by this point and decided to walk up and check the door. Locked. There was a sign on the door. Closed for 10 days. But they have another location about a mile down the road. We decided to try it. We drive to the "other location" but could not find "Cuban Delights". We saw a place called something unusual like Cuban Pizza, but we weren't looking for pizza, just a Cuban sandwich. Very disappointing. I understand that life happens. People get sick, but next time maybe you should be more specific about your "other location." I also take responsibility that I could have left Yelp and gone to your website to verify your hours. But that's why I don't leave you one star. If you're still reading, we ended up seeing 4 RIVERS SMOKEHOUSE and decided to try it out. I was shocked to see a CUBAN on the menu. Now, it's definitely not an "authentic" Cuban. But it had more meat on it than any Cuban I can remember and it had a ton of roasted pork. It was delightful and I'm low key glad Cuban Delights was closed. read more

I'm stuffed! Today I had a late lunch at Cuban Delight Café, located in the strip mall at 1039 Co Rd 540A, Lakeland. (It's next to the Mobil station on the corner of 540A and Carter Road.) The special of the day was roasted pork with Mojo on top and included sides of rice, sweet plantains, and black beans. The portion was huge! The pork was very tender and very delicious! This is a small restaurant with a few tables. This is a friendly place with many of the customers speaking Spanish with each other and the staff. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. The service was quick, and I wish I had room for one of the guava filled pastries they had on display. I will definitely be back! If you are in the southern reaches of Lakeland, you owe it to yourself to check out this lovely little café! read more

GREAT *authentic* Cuban food. Very flavorful and the owners are incredibly nice. Also, the restaurant is spotless - incredibly clean! A+ in my book. read more

Well what can I say!!! We absolutely love this place and eat here at least several times a week and or just stop by for a quick Cafe con Leche. This small location is the best in south Lakeland and affordable. You will not find better Cuban meals than this. They also own the Cuban pizza location on S.Florida Ave called "La Guapachosa" and it's delicious also. They also offer the same food as this location. read more

My family is Cuban and we loved finding this amazing authentic Cuban restaurant! This place is a hidden gem! From the croquetas to the congris, wow! read more

Really enjoyed lunch here with our group of four. Interior decor has lots of Cuban fare adorning the walls, with standard two person tables that can be maneuvered to fit four or six in a party. Also there's counter seating. Bathroom was nicely decorated and very clean. Service: very friendly, two waitresses who were hustling around bussing serving taking orders and doing takeout. Knowing some Spanish definitely helps but isn't required. So...the food. One of the best Cuban meals I've ever had. I enjoyed the bissteca special, which was marinated chunks of beef along with soft boiled potatoes and rice. Tender flavorful beef. Potatoes cooked perfectly. Plantains on the side were great. Another guest had the grilled steak which reminded me of a skirt steak. Big portion of each. The pulled pork on Cuban bread was huge, tasted great and cut in thirds so not too hard to eat. Price point was very reasonable for the food quality and ambience. I highly recommend visiting and enjoying a meal at the Cuban delight cafe. read more

Excellent service. The food is great. The ambiance is what I would expect from a popular Cuban sandwich shop.

Absolutely amazing, the best Cuban food I have ever encountered! Being new to the Lakeland area, soon to be residents :) so happy my best friend mentioned this gem! Small, cute cafe. They get busy during the lunch rush weekday. I can't wait to come back and put their cuban sammich to the test, ha! Roasted pork plate with mojo sauce ahhhhhmygosh! Comes with a pretty scoop of rice, beans and plantains. Fairly priced for how much food you get, had a lot to-go. Fried yuca fries - were good, sauce definitely had a zing to it. Stuffed yuca - YES! I should have ordered more, delicious. Everything was fresh, authentic, and so flavorful. I'm hooked! It was so amazing I felt the need to order another plate to go for my fiancé because I felt he was missing out on the best food! read more

I have stopped in twice to try their guava pastries and they have been sold out..... they must be amazing and I will continue to stop in until I can try one. On this last visit I went ahead and tried one of their prepackaged guava cakes and a cafe con leche. The cake even though packaged still tasted authentic, I loved how much guava filled the cake. My cafe con leche was made exactly how I like it! Friendly little spot, the staff makes you feel like family! read more

The food was great and the customer service was top notch. The dessert was so good that we took extra home with us

Don't plan a meal here based on their hours of operation. Multiple times they have not been open when supposed to be and also refused sit down service when they were open, others eating inside and 1 hour and a half still left on the hours of operation before closing. Lost our business for ever...adios read more

Food is delicious. Great spot to relax with friends and enjoy a meal. Parking is not a problem.

The food is amazing love it I get the Ropa. Vieja. even time I go The Cuban sandwiches are delicious.

My sister and I walked in right as they opened at 12:00. There were a few other groups that walked in with us, one of them a large family with friends. In the 45 minutes we were there, there was a steady stream of people, some of which looked like regulars, based on their interaction with the owners. Now for the food...my sister and I each ordered the 1/2 of a Cuban (very generous portion) and the fried yucca which came with a side of garlic sauce. I came close to sticking my straw in the sauce and just slurping it. Our sandwiches were great. The bread was pressed and toasted just right and the sandwich had a great balance of the meats, cheese, pickles, and mustard. I only wish this place was in Orlando, not Lakeland, so I could visit more often. read more

Tiny place with authentic Cuban food, large portions, fastand great prices. But hours wrong on Yelp for Sat. No one answers. Voicemail box full. read more

The best authentic Cuban restaurant In Lakeland. The food is freshly made to order. Both of the owners are professional Chefs. The Cafe is small, they have about 8 tables for 2, and 3 tables for sitting for 4. They also have 2 tables outside. I always ordered out due to the pandemic. They are in compliance with the distancing and COVID-19 procedures. There portions are huge and their prices are reasonable. The Cuban sandwiches are the best, with a side of plantains or tostones. There pastries are so delicious, especially my favorite Guava and cheese. Call ahead and checkout their specials. You will not be disappointed. read more

The food here is so good, especially for the price! I recommend the Ropa Vieja with tostones and mojo sauce on the side!
