I actually had been planning on coming here for awhile but just never made my way into Cubindad. Upon entering I was greeted by a man (I'm assuming the owner) but could be wrong, he was very friendly and welcoming, asked if I had any questions, but I did not as I already knew what I would be ordering. Cubindad calls it the 305 sandwich (305 is the Miami area-area code) The 305 is basically a Cuban sandwich, which is a Miami CUBAN SANDWICH smoked ham, roasted pork, swiss cheese, pickle, and home-made mustard sauce on cuban bread. The sandwich was everything I had been craving, I made it a combo for an extra $4, the combo gets you a beverage and choice of chips or fries, I went with their fresh cut fries, which were very tasty. The restaurant was spacious and clean and the staff I interacted with were helpful. The only downside was it was a little pricier than I had expected but I still plan on coming back fairly often when I crave a Cuban sandwich and to try other menu items. read more

Cubanidad - Dessert plate with 3 leches, flan and dulce de leche. - Cuban Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

This place is great! The vibe is very Cuban/tropical and it feels like a nice place to spend some time. The staff were all very friendly and helpful when we visited. The service is fast casual, you order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. This place is perfect for any time of day breakfast lunch and dinner. They have good size menu, ranging from empanadas and other Cuban pasties, sandwiches, and full plate meals which makes it a great option for all levels of appetite. We really enjoyed the medianoche Cuban sandwich and the "ropa vieja" empanada. Pro tip: skip the fries and go with the fried plantain for a side, you will not regret it. I like that they have fresh brewed iced teas on tap, both sweetened and unsweetened. I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. read more

Cubanidad - Empanadas & a Papa rellena so good! - Cuban Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

Oh, the humanity! Cubanidad is a local hit that started on the west side and expanded to this more convenient Henderson spot. It's located at the far end of the triangular plaza with such anchors as Trader Joe's and Seafood City; if you see El Pollo Loco, you're almost there. I first experienced and enjoyed Cubanidad at a Yelp Elite Experience. Tonight, I finally showed up to them as a regular customer since they were running a freebie special for a certain sandwich. I also decided to buy various pastries to see what else they had to offer. The specified sandwich was the 305 (normally $12.65), aka Miami Cuban. The bread was panini-pressed to a slight char and held the contents without being too heavy. Plentiful pork came with balanced salty, sweet, and acidic flavors from the Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard. I did like it, but I preferred the Ybor Original, aka Tampa Cuban, from my prior experience. It's basically the 305 plus Genoa salami, which added a flavor punch. The sweet pastries are also satisfying. The Guava & Cheese pastelito ($3.95) had a noticeably flaky crust and was full of plentiful guava paste. The paste seems a little grainy for some reason, but it didn't detract from the mouthfeel. It's definitely a great way to scratch the itch for that flavor. The Cheese Roll ($1.00) was good too, and very affordable to boot. It was airy but had enough fluffy cheese, and the sugar atop the outside of the roll was welcome. However, the savory pastries were disappointing at best. The Beef and Plantain Empanada ($3.95) came with a full chunk of steak but was gray and stringy inside, with not that much flakiness on the outside. I wonder if it might be better in the morning rather than having sat on display all day. I didn't notice much plantain either, which might have helped with the dryness. Meanwhile, the Papa Rellena ($3.95) was pretty fluffy but bland and has approximately the opposite meat-to-potato ratio of the famous SoCal version of this item. To be clear, that means it's starch-heavy and therefore overpriced compared to anything else I've ordered here. The restaurant is counter service, with a pickup area by a side entrance for preorders. Parking is just fine. Although I took my food to-go, I did observe that the dining counter where I loitered while waiting for my food was clean. Cubanidad is a decent spot for certain menu items, but I would avoid the savory pastries in general. Perhaps next time I'll look into the entrees or breakfast menu. read more

Meal flavorful & yummy plus worth wait. Oh their Empanadas in different flavors were so good, flaky crust & sweet or savory choices.

Overall enjoyed nice staff who helped us w choices, sitting down for delicious meal! read more

Fresh food! The restaurant is spotless - I love when restaurant staff take pride in their work.

Superb service! I didn't catch his name, but he maybe the manager or owner. He was the cashier, busser and server! With him doing all of that, he still managed to check in with all the customers and make sure everyone was satisfied. He even apologized for the delay in food time because of the shortage in staffing. I ordered the Quivican Croqueta Hash. The cilantro aioli sauce is pretty darn good. I had to lend it my wife so she could dip her fried plantains in. I was hesitant on the croqueta hash because I can never be sure of its flavors but I did not leave them uneaten! Delicious plate overall! The fries could have been a tad be crispier. My wife order the Pan Con Pollo and said it was good. She did not have enough time to finish it but had no complaints. read more

Yelp Review 2023 #150: I remember sweating profusely trying to find "Cuban sandwich" or "Cubano" when I went to Havana. Access to wifi or any form of internet is incredibly frustrating there so, I figured I'll just try every paladar and cafe to see if they have it. So, yeah, after 1.5 hours of feeling like a melted candle, I figured it's a thing invented in Florida! And I knew this before going to Cuba so I'm not sure what I was thinking - did I think it was supposed to be a challenge? I can't help but chuckle seeing "THE '305' Miami CUBAN SANDWICH" on their menu. But that's not what I got. Mojo Roasted Pork (lechon asado): I love this! Tender and strong flavored slices of pork. Lots of garlic. Yum! Probably my favorite meat from what I've tried so far. 5/5 Skirt Steak (Cuban churrasco): Thin slices of beef. It has a vinegary taste to it. Good flavor. 4/5 Fried Pork Chunk (Masitas de Cerdo): These are huge chunks of fried pork without the skin. I wish it had skin because that would've added extra crunch. There's some crunch there though. Flavorful and juicy even after being fried. 4.5/5 Sweet Plantain (maduros): Brown on the outside, yellow on the inside. Good texture and just the right sweetness. 5/5 Congri: AKA Moros y Cristianos. Cuban version of rice and black beans. Flavorful and good texture on both the rice and the beans. 4/5 Boiled Yuca with Mojo: It also comes fried. This the closest thing to mashed potatoes on their menu. Similar texture. The mojo gives it a garlicky, vinegary flavor. 4/5 Flan: I like almost all types of flan...as long as it's soft and doesn't taste eggy with a nice burnt sugary syrup. And that's the kind of flan they have. 5/5 Food was ordered to-go so I can't really speak much on the ambiance, the mood, and service. So, my experience is solely based on the food. Maybe, I'll try the Cuban sandwich next time. read more

Tried their weekend lunch buffet today. The buffet included different rice dishes, beef, pork and chicken, but unfortunately, no empanadas! I went there excited for their tamarind drink, but they didn't have that either. When it comes to pricing, lunch buffet was set at $19.95 per person, excluding drinks. The picture of their buffet menu says fountain drink included, but the cashier charged extra for drinks. We asked to confirm and she said drinks are not included. Additionally, parents should be aware that there's an extra half-price charge for children, even as young as two-year-olds!! read more

It is a neat place that serves some good Cubano style food. We ordered a couple of things to try out. The 305 sandwich was a solid sandwich (smoked ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickle, mustard). The sandwich was well made, and bread had a good texture to it. We also ordered the Picadita 1885 - which was a platter that had pork sausage, fried pork chunks, pork belly, fried yuca, boiled yucca, homemade croquettes, and plantain chips. This was a decent dish that allowed me to try a bit of everything. read more

I love Cubanidad 1885 more than any other restaurant. Their food is exceptional but this time I would like to talk about the service, I have been a customer since they opened their first location in Fort Apache and I must say that my husband and I really enjoyed going to Henderson the beautiful and sweet Ana always receives everyone with a smile, always attentive, she knows what each customer wants, it is wonderful how she remembers every detail and I am always attentive and it is like that with every customer, it is incredible how she manages to do so many things at the same time even being alone in the salon, maintaining the best customer service That we have had anywhere in the city. Even with her co-workers always supporting so that everything goes well. For my family and I she is the true heart of Cubanidad 1885 Henderson together with the wonderful Chef and I repeat we are customers from the beginning. She is that familiar face that you are always happy to see, and that you want to give a big hug because you feel part of the family. She is always giving us a pleasant conversation (obviously when she have time) Thank you Ana for making Cubanidad feel like home and not just for the delicious food. And thank you to all the team here. read more

Service was not the same. The lady taking the order had a smirk, seemed to be bothered. I ordered the 305 Cuban combo, ask for extra pickled onions on the sandwich and some on the side to which she said that will cost you extra; I replied that's fine. I added two empanadas. I paid via ApplePay and added a 20% tip, which I feel that she doesn't deserve because i remembered during the transaction I wanted mustard. She tells me I can't go back and completes the transaction, then rings me up for 81 cents for mustard. Wait I just ordered a sandwich, paid for extra onions times two and gave you a 20% tip and you want 81 cents for mustard. I feel that's sad, bad for business. I really liked coming here, but may have to rethink it. The food tastes great, we had to ask for the empanadas because she forgot over twenty minutes later. She added a potato ball to make up. The atmosphere was quiet. read more

The food is delicious!! We had the Cuban pizza and a Cuban (Miami) sandwich, both were so, so good!! We will definitely go back again, so much more to try!! 4 stars instead of 5...the woman taking our orders was borderline disrespectful. As I asked questions her responses and tone were condescending. I tried several times to patiently explain and ask my questions again...she persisted in her condescending tone. Normally I would left the establishment and not bothered to even place an order but my instincts told me the food would be worth it. So happy we stayed, the food was so, so good. But it took all my patience to get past her repetitive, patronizing words and snobbish tone. The restaurant was clean well lit and the fiod was brought out in a timely manner. read more

Speedy service, clean and tasty food. I liked my food but my SO did not. ‍ He mentioned it was too greasy...I could agree a bit greasy.

The 305 sandwich is f**kin delicious!!! I was craving a sandwich and let me tell you! This definitely hit the spot satisfying all requirements! The meat was soft the cheese was melted everything was just amazing including the fries! I will be coming back here with some friends who always wanted to try this place. It's a must and I 100% recommend giving it a try! I also tried the croquetas. Using the crackers and lime with the dish made it even more delicious. The ham and cheese empanada was amazing and my son loved it. He also loved the sandwich so this place is also kid friendly given your child isn't tooo picky. I'll be ordering this sandwich combo again :) read more

The medianoche sandwich is so damn good - I was raised in south Florida where Cuban sandwiches were available on every corner, but the medianoche just hits different. I crave one every few days. I wasn't very impressed with the beef olive empanada because it had black olives instead of green. I like black olives but from what I remember, green olives are usually used in Cuban dishes. But seriously, this place is 5 stars just for the medianoche. read more

We had a very late lunch so we had the place to ourselves. It was clean and in good shape. It's a fast casual, order at the register type spot. The gal at the register was nice. My advice: keep it simple and stick with the sandwiches. We had two varieties of the Cubano and each was delicious. Everything you want in a Cubano: nice toasty, crusty bread, melted cheese, mustard, pickle, and [insert your pork products]. And, if you're not starving, big enough to share. We'd definitely eat that again and recommend it. But... we made the mistake of ordering the Cubana pizza, thinking, based on the photos, that it was a thin pizza that you'd fold in half. And further thinking it was some sort of Cuban-style pizza. In reality, it seemed like any other run of mill pan pizza, that was so thick and over-cheesed that it was hard to pick up, much less fold. It was OK pizza but it didn't hold a candle to how good the sandwiches were. read more

Another yummy lunch. But be aware that this is casual dining; it is NOT fast-food at fast-food prices. The food does in fact come out quickly BUT lunch for two people + four empanadas to go cost $60. When we were here last (no review), our lunch for two cost $60 that time, as well. The music was not loud today; thank you for that. My husband had the Tampa sandwich, which is slightly different from the Cubano. He really liked it but could only eat half; he will probably have the other half for lunch tomorrow. He was pleased that the French Fries were crispy. I had a meal. I chose the fish of the day as my protein. Today, it was swordfish. The swordfish was a bit dry, even using the two small quarters of lime. It was topped with cooked onions which were delicious. I had the Moros as my starch and sweet plantains as my side dish. I LOVE their sweet plantains. The Moros are good; could have used a little Tabasco. Service was excellent today. Green tea was very good. Our table was not 100% clean when we sat. Hubby got some napkins and brushed the crumbs to the floor. The bench seat wasn't 100% clean, either. I brushed crumbs to the floor. read more

So I have not been to Cuba just yet but this place gave me that vibe. The space and decor is super cute. The sitting arrangement is diner style but spacious and clean. Handicap friendly. The music was pretty good and not overwhelming in volume. There menu is pretty good. They have the Cuban names for dishes but there is full description next to it. The prices were reasonable. I had the shredded beef (Ropa vieja) with white rice and black beans and oh my, it was perfect! I was so full but I couldn't stop eating it so I actually ate it all. I totally recommend this place.

I can absolutely see why people love this place. It's a vibe (decorated really nicely) and the food is good without being severely overpriced. Walking in, we were a bit intimidated because we don't get Cuban food a lot and we weren't sure of some of the offerings. Luckily, the person helping us at the counter really let us take our time and explained a lot of things to us (there wasn't a line behind us thankfully, if there was we would have stepped out of line.) My bf is one of those people who taste soap when they eat cilantro and the chef made sure to inform us which items we could and couldn't have (come to find out his son also has this affliction as well.) Shoutout to those croquetas. We got the ham and cheese ones. They are so good! Creamy and perfectly fried. And that ropa vieja. Some of the best I've ever had and quite a large serving as well. I'd highly recommend getting a juice here if you like that too. Mango mixed with tamarind is my fave but the mango alone is quite the sweet treat. When we went there were a few heavy hitting items they were out of but in this day and age I can't fault them. Can't wait to come back! read more

I didn't think I was in the mood for ribs but after my first bite, I dove in! Delicious! As for sides, I had plantains and the rice with black beans. Everything was tasty and cooked to perfection.
