    Grilled chicken, sweet plantains, cuban rice and beans
    Christina K.

    A small gem in the Sahara and Decatur complex, Cubanidad has great service (super friendly - Melissa at the front always has a smile!) and great food. I actually discovered them earlier today at their Henderson location and loved it so much that I came to the Sahara location because I was on the west side. Yum again! Their prices are really reasonable as well! They have specials on empanadas and pastries (buy multiples and get an even better deal) and have a variety of sandwiches and plates. I even saw a sign for Cuban spaghetti which has me quite intrigued! I had a grilled chicken plate with sweet plantains and Cuban beans and rice. The box was full of food - so great portions! I had a chimichurri sauce as well. The chicken was flavorful, moist, grilled really well. The sweet plantains were delicious. They give a very big portion of beans and rice. We also tried two different empanadas here - a beef/olives and shredded chicken. Both were really good - if I had to choose, I'd say the chicken was my favorite. I saw another table have the flan which looked really good - I'm going to have to try that next time.

    This place was good. Only like one vegan option. Not a vegan friendly location but the food looks amazing. My partner seemed to enjoy himself here. Good eats. Live, love and laugh - Sha

    Cubanidad is a good Cuban restaurant. They have traditional dishes along with really great sandwiches and sides. This was my first time at the express location. The chicken sandwich was really tasty. Service was attentive. The seating area was small so one can see why it's called express.

    I found this place via a TikTok post. My experience with social media and food has been mostly bad but this spot was a nice positive surprise! The food is affordable and very tasty. I ordered the 305 sandwich and it was delicious and filling. The combo came with a drink ( I chose mango drink), the sandwich and fries. I was pretty satisfied with the quality of the food, the flavor, and the serving size. I will definitely visit again when in Vegas. The location is clean and the staff is super friendly. There is plenty of parking in the shopping center.

    The empanadas seemed a bit overcooked and lacked moisture. Possibly due to sitting on the heating rack for display all day considering I came in at 6p

    Went in today for the first time and have to day this was really good food.. order the pan con lechon and my wife the rosted lechon and 2 potatoes and I order a pastelito de gayaba and man they where good.. service was good and ambiance nice a quite.. definitely will go back

    Nice little mini-mall restaurant with limited seating. Their soda machine was broken when we were there. The 305 sandwich was delicious and very big! That's all we ordered besides drinks. The strawberry dragon fruit and the fruit punch were both good. Friendly service. Clean interior with simple decor. Mm

    Yelp Review 2024 #71: I remember going to Cuba expecting to find a Cuban sandwich. I went to a nice little cafe in Havana and ordered a sandwich and it turned out to be a basic sandwich with ham, cheese on white bread! The lesson here is that the Cubano is a sandwich invented by Cubans in Florida! Wherever and however it may have been conceptualized and created, I love a good Cuban sandwich. It's a simple sandwich with good ol' ham, cheese, pickle and mustard on bread that gets pressed until it's toasted on both sides giving it a nice crunchy exterior and the cheese and fatty goodness melts inside. I've been to Cubanidad at another location. They have the same menu and the layout of the restaurant is pretty much the identical. The 305: The classic Cubano sandwich from Miami. Smoked ham, Swiss cheese, roasted pork, pickles, and homemade mustard sauce on Cuban bread. The bread is hot, crunchy on the outside but nice and soft on the inside. You can get your sandwich as is or as a combo with chips or fries and a drink for an extra $4. The sandwich is surprisingly filling. It has a nice layer of meat. I'm not a lover of pickles but the flavor of the pickle on this sandwich seems subtle with the ham, pork and cheese. Grab extra napkins - the roasted pork is juicy and the mustard sauce will start dripping on your hands. I always end up eating half of the sandwich and all the fries so, I can reheat the leftover sandwich the next day. The fries are thin and salty so the texture is definitely there without being overly cooked. 5/5 The Ybor Original: Tampa's Cubano sandwich. Just like the 305 but with Genoa salami. If you like a little more saltiness with a hint of acid in your sandwich, get this. 5/5 Garlic Cilantro Sauce: For $0.75, you can take your sandwich and fries to the next level. This is a game changer and a good flavor enhancer. Trust me! 5/5 Fried Plantains: Sweet, soft caramelized plantains. A nice side for any salty dish or as a snack. 5/5 Guava and Cheese Pastelito: A handpie with guava and cream cheese filling. Nice flaky crust which is perfect at room temperature or reheated in the oven. The crust to filling ratio is perfect. 4.5/5 Flan: I love a good flan. It's all about the texture. I like the creamy and soft flan (Filipino version) more than the more firm (Mexican version). Their flan sits right in the middle. 4.5/5 The service was friendly and the food came out within 15 minutes after ordering. They have Coke products, juice, bottled water as well as canned Cuban drinks. They have cheese rolls which I haven't tried yet since I'm loyal to Porto's cheese rolls.

    THE 305

    Came in because we were on this side of town. Amazing food and great service! We ordered the 305 Cubano Sandwich and the Pan Con Biste Sandwich. Both were delicious! Wasn't able to take photos of the Guava Empanada because we devoured them so fast, they were that good. The gentleman at the counter was very friendly and helpful. The place is clean and nicely decorated. Nice Latin music played in the background. I recommend!

I specifically asked for light ice because I wanted less ice--not less coffee. If I'm paying for a large, I expect to receive a large amount of drink. It's ridiculous that choosing less ice apparently means getting significantly less product. This honestly feels like customers are being penalized for asking for light ice. Either you get a cup packed with ice, or you ask for less ice and they simply leave the cup half empty. That is not good value and definitely not what I expected from Lee's. Very disappointing experience. Management really needs to address this because customers should receive the amount they paid for, regardless of how much ice they request. This is an on going problem with Lee's Sandwich stores.

This store is larger than Japan Creek Market in Henderson and has a larger food menu. There are about 5 aisles. Service: order your bento box with the cashier, then do some shopping while they make it. I had the Deluxe Bento with salmon (salt) and chicken karaage which was way too much food. Next time I'll get the regular bento. They also had some already prepared bluefin tuna negitoro bowl which looked good. Ambiance: there is a small room with a few tables and chairs near the anime area so you can eat your food there or take it to go. There is also a clean bathroom. It's a bit far for us, but will try again when in the area.

Affordable and authentically homemade. Everything tastes as good as it looks and food portions are huge. Cashier is a very nice lady and the man packing the foods up is helpful. The market isn't located in a popular spot, so it's very easy to miss when passing by, but the old lot still has this hidden gem. There's a gift store inside now. The microwave and trash bin along with tables and chairs are inside the gift store section. Clean look. Aisles are organized. Salmon Teriyaki Bento Box $11.99 is still very good and fulfilling. Tonkatsu Pork Plate $11 is still unbeatable. It may take a while to wait for your order since they don't have many employees inside the kitchen. All takeout food items are worth it. Foods are kept hot. Pickled side dishes and beverages are all very good. Must love these small businesses in Las Vegas. Rewards program keeps customers returning and getting more cash backs earned for every purchase which can be instantly redeemable. We love visiting each time and the place is really a hidden gem for your hotel takeout needs. Fully satisfied. Good people here. Always positive.
