This is an inexpensive place. The parking lot is pretty vacant but most customers do take-out. The place is pretty clean. I ordered the Classic Cuban with sweet plantains and a drink. The sandwich had too much bread and not enough protein. I love the sauces that came with the sandwich. Plantains were good.

I've only had Cuban food a handful of times but this did not disappoint. It was our first time here and won't be our last. You can either order at the counter or a kiosk. It took us a minute to figure out what to get but eventually decided on fried yuca, lechon asado plate, vaca frita chicken plate, mango juice and passion fruit juice. The guy who was taking our order was super friendly and helpful. After paying he said our order will take about 10-15 mins and that our name will be called when it's ready. Well a short 5 mins later and our food was ready and they brought it to our table. I always have to get fried yuca and this one was yummy! I loved the garlic sauce it was served with, though I found it a bit watery. I ordered the lechon asado plate and the meat itself was tasty, but both my husband and I found both of our meats a little too dry. The sauces they had helped remedy this and added another depth of flavor though. Of course, you can never go wrong with rice, beans and plantains either. Overall, solid place for quick and cheap eats. I think our total was around $40 plus tip.

This week, our lunch spot was D'Cuban Cafe. It's a small place tucked away in Chamblee and definitely worth checking out. It's probably on the edge of being a dive, which usually means that you've found a place worth trying. I ordered a traditional Cuban Sandwich and a side of yucca fries. After lunch, I couldn't resist trying a Cuban espresso too. The sandwich was very good. Several folks at the table ordered it too and it got a thumbs up from everyone. My only complaint is that it doesn't come with a side (they are a la Carte). Next time, I want to try one of the plates... I saw one at another table that looked amazing! Inside the restaurant, there were a mixture of tables - mostly booths or 4-tops with chairs. It's not huge and did fill up. Dry fast. With a small party, it's great! Anything over 4, you're gonna need to push tables together and borrow chairs. Overall Vote: 4 stars. Would I go back? Definitely!

The husband kept talking about this place, and so we just went for an early dinner snack this past Friday. The place slowly filled up as we finished our food. So it looks like people of all ages and walks of life really seem to dig this place. The chicken empanada was good, but it wasn't anything amazing. It was super filled with shredded chicken, and it was tasty. I was expecting it be more flavorful and moist according to the general hype to be honest. The husband said this place still has the best Cuban sandwiches though after a decade later. But he also said the sauce makes all the difference. There were only x3 choices so don't get too excited. We shared the Cuban, and the sandwich was hearty and pressed with so much yumminess. There wasn't a magical ingredient that made it out of this world, but good it was. The side of plantains were really sweet and healthy as a side. The plantains were a good texture of softness but not overly dry. The flavor was simple and tasty. We were pretty content with sharing a empanada, whole sandwich and side of plantains. They also have weekly deals up to 4 PM from Monday through Friday.

Flavorful meat, clean and cute decor. One of my favorite Cuban restaurant in Atlanta.

This restaurant is directly across from Chamblee High School. It has free parking but there's only like 12 parking spaces. But there's other businesses with parking spaces in the same strip. This is cute little place. You have the options of ordering online, the kiosk or with the cashier. There's about 10 tables for inside dining. The bathroom is so cute and clean. The menu is clear and to the point! There's a Saturday special of 10 Empanadas for $25. Totally worth it if you need to feed several people. I ordered the beef empanadas with black beans and rice. I also ordered the guava cheese empanada and a Nutella empanada. We also got a Cuban sandwich.. it was good but I needed more meat. That guava cheese empanada is amazing!!!! I put the green Aoli sauce on my rice and beans... game changer! Now those beef empanadas have some potatoes in it! Yummmmmmmmy lol. The chicken empanadas were okay but the beef empanadas were the winner! I'm definitely going back if not for else those beef empanadas, rice and beans and the guava cheese empanada. Oh yeah forgot to mention that the Nutella and guava cheese empanada were so good and flaky!

I recently ordered takeout from at D'Cuban, and while I order from here pretty often, this was first time I picked it up vs getting delivery. Next time I MUST dine in. The vibes were perfect. The music, the art displaying Cuban artists, and the staff, it was all a great combination. We ordered 2 Cuban Sandwiches, with fries as our side. It was just *chef's kiss* GOOD. The sandwiches were a decent size, so between that and the fries I got full pretty quickly, but with that said, ya'll know I am greedy, so I also ordered a beef empanada and a flan to top off the night. I've been ordering from here for years, and they truly never miss a beat. I've had different people over my house when I've ordered, and it is always a hit. I look forward to continuing to make this my automatic go-to for Cuban.

I usually order this on Uber Eats, but one day I dropped in and grabbed a to go order. It's cozy spot, across from Chamblee High. This is the best Dominican food in Atlanta! I get the mojo chicken, with beans, yellow rice, salad, plantains and tostones. I top it with the garlic aioli and it's just delicious!

Ciro M.

The food is always excellent and the staff is super friendly. I mostly order takeout through the app and my food is ready in about 10-15 minutes. My go to items are the lechon asado plate and a Cuban sandwich for later at night or the next day. Delicious!

Tina S.

I think they make the best (or one of the best) Cuban sandwiches in Atlanta. The customer service is great and the food is consistently well prepared. I almost always get the sandwich special with rice & beans. Their croquettes and maduros are delish as well. I think a lot of people get take-out but the decor and music make it a lively place to dine-in. The only minor drawback is the parking and the awkwardly shaped parking lot. But overall definitely worth a trip.

Brian S.

I feel like their Cuban food is the most authentic in the Atlanta area. Their black beans are perfectly seasoned and served with white rice, as you should! The sandwiches are of a nice size and cooked very well. Thumbs up!

Katie E.

The food was pretty good, the prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly. Good place to go for lunch.

Pan con bistec with black beans and white rice

Laz S.

We came back to this location since we wanted some Cuban food. I ordered the Pan con bistec with white rice and black beans. The sandwich was super delicious, the steak was cooked perfectly, the white rice was good and the black beans were delicious as well. It took over 10 mins for us to get our food though, we noticed other people who came after us who got their food first. The music playing was salsa and was not loud at all. I ordered the Ironbeer soft drink and it was good. The guy who took our order was attentive.

Found this cute little spot in Chamblee. And decided to give them a try because my wife has been looking for the fried beef stuffed potato (papa Rellena) like we had in Puerto Rico. Didn't know a Cuban place would it and I bought 3. Lol. Just in case my wife likes it. The texture and flavor was just actually ok for me but we shall see if she likes it. Also bought the Lechon Asado bowl which is pork bowl. Flavor was really good. Amount could be a little more for the price and less beans and for me, I like chunks of pork not shredded. Price point was affordable and will even go back to try other things. read more

Came here for dinner on a week night and they weren't too crowded. You order at the counter, get a buzzer, and come up to get your food when it's ready. I wish I took photos of the interior because it felt like we were at the beach. Bright colors. The tables are all decorated with news articles. There's not too many tables inside maybe ten so guessing they get some take out business too. I ordered the combo with two empanadas, and a side. I chose plantains and got 6 big slices. They were big but slightly overcooked. The empanadas were large too and done well. The platters looked good and large size so I can't wait to try that next time. read more

This place replaced a fusion taco spot I reviewed some years ago. First off, the latte/cafe con leche is at least on par with Starbucks, probably better. The cheese empanada is fantastic. The chicken empanada is subtle - it reminds me of chicken soup as I eat it, but drier...similar spicing. It doesn't jump out at you. The beef empanada has a nice consistency, more moist than the chicken, and is well spiced. The crust on all is excellent. The fried plantains are fried plantains. If you want 3 leches cake, they have a slice, for $5.95. To me, it seemed very standard, not worth the premium. You could get a cake without icing, throw some whipped cream on top and condensed milk in the container, and get as good a product, enough for a party, for the price of two slices. But it'll scratch that itch if you have it. I came once before and had the Cuban (ham, cheese, mustard, pickles - probably some lime juice marinade on the ham) along with a guava and cheese turnover. I'd say the turnover had a nice consistency and filling, and the sandwich was arguably the best Cuban I've had outside of Miami. No shade on Havana, which is near the corner of Buford and N Druid Hills, and is perfectly decent. Complaints? I wish this place had Ironbeer, and non-disposable silverware. Further notes: decor and music work well. Seems set up primarily for Uber Eats, but it's a nice vibe. read more

Let's make one thing clear: This place is NOT "Miami Style" Cuban restaurant. For someone that's lived in Miami for 27 years - this does not come close to a Miami-Cuban vibe. I would love to know what they consider or what they mean by "Miami-Style Restaurant" on their website. If it's in terms of the ambiance - sure I can see the concept. If it's food, they're totally off grid. For starters, my FIRST interaction with the girl at the counter was mind blowing. I asked if they served "Congri" or "Moro" and she said "What is that?" .. (big sign outside that says "Authentic Taste" and you tell me you don't know what Congri is ?)... it took everything in me to not walk out. Side Note: Congri or Moro is a VERY popular Cuban Rice and Beans dish made a specific way with specific ingredients. In a matter of just seconds after she told me she didn't know what Congri was, I change my mind on getting a platter to something much more simpler for them. I ordered a Media Nochè & a Papa Rellena. Needless to say, the food was O.K at best. Overall if you're looking for AUTHENTIC and FLAVORFUL food, this is NOT the place. If you're in search of a mediocre Cuban themed place, this will do you justice. I have no complaint nor praise of the service - it was simply ok. I would-not not come back, but it also won't be the first place I'd go to when I or anyone I go out with craves Cuban food. I will continue to travel to Tortugas Cuban Grill for my Cuban cravings as they come closest to the authenticity of Cuban flavor I'm used too from Miami. For the record I was super excited prior to coming in as this place is close to we're I live, but I was let down. read more

If you need a Cuban food fix, this is the spot! I'm from South Florida and have had plenty of good Cuban food. This place is definitely a must try. Pro tip: buy a big container of their garlic cilantro aioli sauce. Put it on everything! We can't wait to come back! Atmosphere There's so much to look at in this place. They decorated with basically everything that reminds you of Cuba. The newspaper laminated tables are a nice old school touch. Just a fun causal place to eat some good food. Food Cuban sandwich - Pretty standard and yet pretty good. It's a solid choice if you want something hot and ready to go. Lechon Asado Plate - Very tasty but a little dry. This is where that garlic cilantro aioli comes in handy. It really enhances the flavors. I really liked the white rice, beans and sweet plantains. The rice and beans had a lot of nice flavors and are great accompaniments to the meat. Chicken Palomilla Plate - The chicken was juicy even how thin it was. Grilled onions were really good. Definitely a good choice for anyone who prefers chicken! Yuca Frita - So crispy and creamy! Definitely get this and of course get extra sauce! Mango juice - It was good but it sort of tasted a little store bought. It was still refreshing and a nice added sweetness to your meal. Service Everyone was very nice and seemed busy packing a lot of to go orders. It wasn't very busy when we first arrived but then it started getting busy as we were finishing up. You order your food, set yourself and pick up your order at the counter when they call for you. So there's not much waiting on the table kind of service. But the place seemed clean, lots of younger people working and the food didn't take long to be ready. read more

Amazing food and service! You can self order at the front of the restaurant or I saw others having their orders taken but the self order platform is quick and intuitive. We split a Cuban sandwich ( I do wish there were a way to customize this on the order screen. I always like extra pickles on mine), a chicken empanada, papa rellena (meat stuffed mashed potato ball, breaded and fried) and yucca fries. Everything was AMAZING! The sandwich was crispy and well filled, the empanada was STUFFED with chicken and fried perfectly, papa rellena was tasty but honestly could have used a bit more time in the fryer (meat filling was cool in the middle but it's precooked so it was fine) and the yucca fries were crispy and delicious. Yucca is a starchy vegetable and it fries up like a super crispy potato and STAYS crispy. They have a self service area where you can get water, plasticware, and sauces which I love because I hate bugging people for cups and water. The green sauce is a garlic sauce and they also have a slightly hotter red sauce as well and they both go great on everything. We doused everything with the green sauce and kept all vampires away. Please go give them a try, they are FANTASTIC! read more

This is one of our new favorite restaurants in Chamblee. We tried D'cuban Cafe on a whim for dinner one night and our family loved it so much that we went back a few days later and ordered more food for my husband's birthday. Everything we have tried so far has been delicious. I don't know what they put in the black beans, but I love how flavorful they are! I'm always impressed when a restaurant can take a simple ingredient and really make it sing. Our kids love the beef and chicken empanadas and Cuban sandwiches. I like the vaca frita chicken bowl with salad, beans, fried plantains, and a few plantain chips to scoop it up. Perfect. read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! I am Latin man born on the island of Puerto Rico. Cubans and Boricuas are close in taste and flavor. Believe me this place has none of the above. I ordered lechón asado. The pork was so dry I needed something to wash it down. So for latinos out there what is our must have side dish? Rice right ? Well the portion was meant for a 2 year old. Had to order a side. The maduros were dried out. The beans needed flavor. In other words if you are NOT Latino you may not care if the food is flavorless. However for all Latinos out there stay away. Not worth the money 20.00 for a dish that had no flavor. We need our adobo and sazón in our food. Hopefully they will change. read more

The first time I tried to come to El Rey Del Taco, I couldn't find a parking spot. I've been back…read morethree times since then, and I understand the hype. They have quickly become my favorite place to get Mexican food. Let's get into it! Location and Parking They are located on Buford Highway in a small shopping plaza. The lot is medium sized, but they are sharing it with a few other businesses, and depending on the night it could definitely be hard to find a spot so keep that in mind. Venue and Atmosphere The venue is decently sized with both booths and regular tables. There are beautiful paintings hung all over, and the decorations that make you feel like you've stepped into a little part of Mexico. Atmosphere is super casual and comfortable. Food and drinks Now the menu here is massive. Take your time and prepare to be overwhelmed, because everything sounds amazing. Here's a breakdown of what we got each time. 1st visit - El Rey Del Taco Parrillada It's meant to be shared with two people, and comes with a pound of beef ribs, your choice of chicken or al pastor meat, six shrimp wrapped in bacon, with melted cheese and chorizo, plus tortillas and charro beans. It was just as delicious as it sounds. 2nd visit - Tacos The pastor con queso and the shrimp al pastor with cheese, onions, and al pastor sauce. You're welcome. 3rd visit - Fajitas Fajitas Texanas, with steak chicken and shrimp. There are 7 different combinations of sides that you can get. We got white rice, salad, and charro beans. This can also be shared, which my wife and I did. Speaking of the charro beans, they have the best beans I have ever had. For drinks I got the supreme regular mango margarita. My wife got strawberry. Both great. Service Food came out fast, but other than that the service was a little slow. Our waitress was nice, but it did seem that she forgot about us for a little while. The food was so good that I forgave it, plus at the end of the day I got everything I needed. Verdict If you're looking for amazing food and drinks, this is absolutely the place to get it. It just might end up being your favorite too! Until next time!

We were there on Saturday with small children and never even stayed long enough to order food because the odor was that bad. I used to visit this restaurant years ago and had already noticed signs of decline, but this latest visit made it clear that the conditions have become significantly worse. The bathrooms were dirty, with broken fixtures and obvious signs of neglect. The entire place looks outdated and poorly maintained, as if renovations and upkeep have been ignored for years. The strong smell of mold throughout the building was alarming and made us question the overall condition of the property. It is difficult to understand how a restaurant can operate while allowing customers to be exposed to such an unpleasant and toxic environment. It's disappointing because we love colombian food. Sadly, it now appears that providing clean, safe, and quality facilities is not a priority. We left immediately and chose not to eat there.

Xela Pan Cafe

Whoops! This is an overdue review from December…read more Xela Pan Cafe is a Guatemalan restaurant/bakery/convenience store on Buford Hwy in Doraville. Just a quick warning that, depending on which employee helps customers, there may be a slight issue with their understanding of English. They absolutely speak and understand Spanish. Xela Pan Cafe is in a small strip mall that is next to the strip mall where Kung Fu Tea is located. There is limited parking in front of the storefronts. This small business is made up of a restaurant, a bakery and a convenience store all run by the same employees. The convenience store sells a lot of seemingly random items, just about all in glass display cases. I noticed a lot of things to help with digestion and upset stomach, and hoped that this wasn't an indication of their food (Thankfully, it turned out that it wasn't!). The bakery items were in a separate area of display cases, but customers are free to self-serve themselves by using a tray to place whatever they choose, using either tongs or disposable gloves (I can't remember which they use) to take the items out of the cases. R and I came here for breakfast on a Sunday morning just before 9 am. There is an order counter, but that's for customers who are ordering items to go. Once the employees found out that we were going to eat breakfast inside the restaurant, we were told to seat ourselves and an employee would be by soon with menus. The restaurant area contains mostly booths, with some tables and chairs in an area between the order counter, convenience store and bakery areas. A very helpful and knowledgeable server came by our table, bringing a couple of glasses of water and menus. For a small restaurant, there were many items on the menu. We both ordered the scrambled eggs, rice, black beans, plantains and cheese. We didn't wait very long, in spite of other customers lined up at the counter to order takeout meals. The scrambled eggs with tomato and onion in them tasted a little bland, but I dressed it up with some bottled red hot sauce that was on the table. The plain tasting white rice, which had peas, carrots and corn in it, was pressed into a heart shape. The black beans in its watery sauce were very good. The plantains were cooked to a perfect firmness, and had a perfectly matching natural sweetness to them. The small block of slightly salty cheese also had a nice firmness to it. The price for each meal was very reasonable. Overall, this was a good dining experience.

When you walk in, they…read morehave a lot of typical Guatemalan things hanging up, and the menu has many of the typical dishes you would find in Guatemala. There are certain things they make better than others. For instance, the chuchitos are pretty good! The Pepian that I ordered didn't really taste like Pepian, but more like a guisado. It was still pretty good, it just wasn't Pepian haha ! They have traditional drinks and they even have pan francés! The Guatemalan snacks they have are very convenient when you have antojos! I would say the service is pretty friendly and the ambiance is pretty authentic! We have been here several times and will definitely return!

I'm sure they would make a custom one for you. You get complimentary chips and salsa and the salsa is very good, along with the sauce they give you for the pupusas. It is not very bold or spicy, but goes perfectly!

Canton House

The Canton House on Buford Highway is my family's go-to for authentic Cantonese dim sum in Atlanta…read more The food is always up to expectations each and every visit. Having been at least once every couple months for years, it's our Chinese comfort food as dim sum is meant to be. Although I would recommend arriving at anytime they are open, we find the absolute best time for dim sum is to arrive right at opening on Saturday or Sunday. This time lets us beat the wait, get a great table fast, and the food is super plentiful, hot and fresh out of the kitchen. The chrysanthemum tea is a must have and complements the food as a perfect, tasty, and just sweet enough palate cleanser (although I would prefer to add the rock sugar myself to my tea, they serve it with sugar already inside the pot). For the absolute best pairing with your chrysanthemum tea, make sure to save room for the awesome pineapple buns while supplies last. They were out today and we all collectively cried (will be going back just for the pineapple buns soon...we are just not complete without them!). We love all the dishes, but our absolute favorites (outside of the pineapple buns) are the pork spare ribs with black bean, the beef rice rolls/noodles, shrimp dumplings, and turnip cakes. Add some spicy sauce to the spare ribs and turnip cakes to really set them off! For iced coffee lovers who like it really strong, don't pass up on the iced coffee. It has legs that are strong enough to walk, but completely complements the dim sum with a little extra boost to help you enjoy the day. So, I challenge others to find a better dim sum place in Atlanta. That is why Canton House earns my 5th star and looking forward to getting my pineapple buns (really) soon!

I was quite surprised that I was able to get a table when I went on a Saturday 11ish AM (peak…read moredimsum hours!). Good service with the push carts rolling around passing the tables often.

Very good - Beef Chow Fun: A very chewy and bouncy home made flat noodle dish. Savory, salty, and flavorful! Good amount of tender beef too. - Shrimp Balls: Crispy and fried on the outside, yummy, with good big shrimp ball. Yummy classic sweet and sour sauce too. Delicious - Egg Rolls: Good, not too oily, a normal egg roll - Spare ribs: Possibly my favorite dish! Tender, not too chewy, good savory sweet flavor. -- Overall, it's not bad but it's nothing to write home about. My favorite item was probably the spare ribs. The rest were standard in my opinion. However, service is fast since it is dimsum, so perfect to eat when hungry! Also great ambiance for big group parties or hangouts!

And lol, they provide ponytail holders near the water station :) IT'S NOT THAT EGGPLANT - $9.95 Soooo good! The guy advised us to eat the eggplant fries quickly b/c over time, they may get soggy - but ours stayed pretty crispy throughout. The glaze on that eggplant is seriously out of this world - no joke, it's an explosion in your mouth beyond just sweet & salty with a little kick. FYI you definitely want to eat rice with this b/c it's on the salty side - but a good kind of salty! Watch out for the peppers! WOK-CHARRED EGGPLANT CLAYPOT RICE - $6.95 We wondered if this was too much eggplant but no - this is different. Nice smoky flavor and like the other reviewers shared, wait a little so that the bottom gets nice & crusty - which adds a nice texture of goodness in your mouth! I could eat this alone as an entree - so good! CHILI BEAN & PORK CRUMBLE CLAYPOT RICE - $7.95 This was sold-out on my first visit so of course we ordered for my 2nd visit. Bolder flavors and spicy too. Very good! SMOKEY & SWEET BACON CLAYPOT RICE - $7.95 Bacon, sausage, & bell pepper topping. More neutral tasting but still good!
