    Cuban sandwich and Pork Sandwich
    Elisha C.

    Good vibe!! Service/cook was down to earth - great spot for a quick bite or stay a while to chat. Open windows in the humidity legit felt humid. I loved the feeling of eating halfway in but also feeling connected to the people watching outside. Next time I'm going to try the cuban sandwich because the cheese pull looked amazing on my friends. We shared yucca fries and enjoyed-- the slow cooked pork on my sandwich was awesome, I just wish there was a little more texture by way of veggies or something. Serving size is pretty good! I'll be back!

    Drove all the way from Long Island to try Cuban shack. This was nice little hole in the wall spot with Cuban influences. My husband ordered a Cuban sandwich, I order a chicken plate for the kids and a vegetarian sandwich for myself which was made with bbq jackfruit. Overall, each plate had a nice presentation, balanced flavors and generous portions. In total we spent about $70. Each dish was about $16-20. The service was great and the staff were super friendly. Worth giving a try if you're in the area.

    Stumbled upon this place and so glad I did. Very unassuming from the outside, but the food was really good. If you're looking for a quick and easy bite this is a great option. Ambiance is super casual - maybe more of a take out spot, but there's decent seating. Came with 6 people (including 2 little ones) and it was great. Food: make sure to order the Garlic Moji and Cilantro Aioli on the side. They really make the dishes! I ordered the below and enjoyed it all: -Chicken Plate: very satisfying -Pork Sandwich (a little oily, but would order again) -Empanadas: favorite was ham & cheese. The guava one was ok - a bit rich and leans more heavily cheese.

    My husband first heard about Cuban Shack while he was at his barbershop. The other day we happened to be walking down Hoyt Street and passed right by it, so he suggested we stop in for lunch. The restaurant had a cozy, relaxed vibe. There are only a handful of tables, but we were still able to find a spot easily (we went around 2pm). We ordered Cuban sandwiches and guava pastelitos. I hadn't had a Cuban sandwich in years, and these absolutely did not disappoint. The sandwiches had the perfect balance of bread, meat, cheese, and sauce. They were rich and flavorful without being greasy or dry. They also came with plantain chips and a garlic sauce on the side, which was a nice touch. I also really enjoyed the guava pastry. It had a generous amount of guava filling but wasn't overly sweet. I'm so glad we discovered this spot and will definitely be coming back.

    I came here to get coffee and a pastry with some friends while I was visiting town. The service was solid, if a little slow. That said, we did have a big order. It has room for dining in, and has a cafe feel. This was my first time trying Cuban coffee. It was good! A little sweet for me, but it tasted less sweet after the Guava pastry (lol). The pastry was rich and filled with Guava. It's almost like a jam (and about as sweet). I would definitely come back to try the other dishes!! I appreciate that they have veggie options -- I haven't seen that at other Cuban places I've been to.

    Bad Cuban sandwich with pork that have super bad stale taste
    Olivia B.

    I really hate to give this bad review. I ordered their specialty- Cuban sandwich and pork was tasted super bad with stale taste! I was sharing sandwich with my husband and he couldn't eat it too. It was bad tasting. Sweet Plantains was bad too (separate order) they being over cooked and not delicious and for $7 you can do it better. We literally put all the food in the garbage.

    Phenomenal experience! The food was absolutely authentic, and I stumbled upon this spot while walking through the neighborhood. The indoor-outdoor vibe immediately caught my attention. I started with a Mojito, which was the perfect treat, refreshing, full-sized, and tasting exactly like a classic Mojito. I ordered the Cod fish Croquettes, a side order of sweet plantain, and it did not disappoint. Tender, flavorful ,and, it was exceptional. My favorite part about this place is the cozy outdoors if you wish to sit outside. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the whole place radiates a tropical, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend stopping by!

    Needed a bite to eat after a cross country flight. Did not disappoint. Pork sandwich: 8/10 slow roasted melt-in-your-mouth pork and the garlic sauce :chefs-kiss: Beef empanada: 9/19 the filling was super flavorful and while I'm not usually a fan of doughy empanadas (vs masa) this was on point Yucca fries: 6/10. I like my yucca a tad crispier and the queso was a bit clumpy but may have been a bit better in person as opposed to being in the container for 20 minutes.

    This is a really cute, small intimate spot that has a nice size outside sitting area. They do have a few seats inside as well and some at the window seats. I had the chicken plate and a beef empanada. Everything was very good. The place was clean and the customer service was good. Yes, I would come here again. I absolutely also love the prices! Definitely a place that you can come to if you're eating on a budget and you don't want to jeopardize great taste.

    Got the Cuban, and it was absolutely incredible. The meat was tender and flavourful, the mustard and pickles were just the right amount, and the bread was toasted to perfection. Got it to go, but the brief service I got was friendly. Cute decor too!

    When in Brooklyn, eat! Sunday afternoon in a beautiful day. This place is a cute spot nestled between two streets that are closed on Sunday's. Seating is available outside, which is great for a spring day. We tried the frozen mojito which was delicious!!! Then the steak sandwich and steak platter! It was very tasty and flavored to perfection. It was a great choice on a beautiful day! I will certainly be back!

    Jackfruit Vegetarian Sandwich, Yucca Fries
    Tamar L.

    Cute place with a great Cuban vibe, tucked away in a side street. Looks like everything is super fresh, and they have vegetarian options. I tried the jackfruit pressed sandwich with yucca fries. This was great, the jackfruit bbq sauce was a little sweet for me, but still good. I realized I should have asked them to add pickles to my sandwich, for that proper Cuban sandwich tang. Cafecito was perfect.

    Our toddlers loved dinner so much that they asked to come back tomorrow, so we did. Pork plate is 10/10 and they loved the empanadas!

    Very good! I had a cuban. Flavor + texture was really nice. If the menu prices were $2 less, they would be booming with business. ;)

    We came here around 7pm. There were several tables that were sat down around us but the sign caught…read moreour eyes about the famous corn. So we each ordered on which came with a lime wedge. The flavor was so good, it was very satisfying and flavorful, 6.95 for roasted corn is great. It was cool inside with their fan, there was outdoor seating as well but we choose to sit inside. We also shared a flan which was very sweet lt wasn't as creamy as I wanted it, but it was still good I think just a bit over done in the oven.

    Was excited to try and a new to me spot. My friend and I were in the area doing some shopping we…read moreboth were a bit hungry so we came in. The amount of times I have walked by here and never came in is actually pretty funny. It is a small mexican food restaurant but they had a table for us two in the back near the bathrooms. They had two tables crammed next to each other in the back. Our first table we were seated at was like literally on top of the people sitting in the booth next to us. We then asked to move to the other table they said it was fine but we kinda got a look from the waitress like are you guys serious like it was a hassle to move us or something. Not to mention that these tables are not made for two people to comfortable sit and enjoy a meal at together. They are very small! When our waitress came to take our order I went first and told her all my allergies and than she just walked away after and didn't come back and didn't take my friends order or let me finish my order. It was the most oddest thing. So another waitress came to take our order and I told her that I gave some of my order to the other person and told her all my allergies and this waitress currently said how the other one did not tell her about all my allergies but did warn me that because the kitchen is soo small there may be cross contamination. My friend and I ordered drinks both margarita's on the rocks. They came out not that cold and pretty tasteless. For food I got their world famous corn with cheese. My friend got the corn to but with the spicy powder on top of it. We decided the corn was the best thing. We also both ordered the salad but I got it with chicken and my friend got it with shrimp. We both did not really enjoy our salads but she ate hers I just had a few bites and then packed up the rest to go even though I ended up just throwing it away later in day. I will not be coming back even if I am with a friend who wants to. Many other mexican restaurants in this city where the staff is friendly and food and drinks are much better than what we had experienced here.
