    Hands down one of the BEST cuban spots I've been to yet! It's a small hole in the way but the service is friendly and fast and the food is WONDERFUL! Reminds me of the motherland, Cuba!!! The ambiance is great but can get tight if it's busy! Hope you're not claustrophobic! lol

    LECHON ASADO BOWL and 2 EMPANADAS COMBO
    Supittra S.

    Stumble across this restaurant by accident because I was looking for an affordable food around norcross. It turned out to be a great place and also not expensive too. I got Lechon Asado and 2 beef empanada combo. All came out to be about $25. It was really good and tasted very authentic. The plaza had plenty of parking and service was fast and great. I for sure want to come back and try other dishes here in the future!

    Last weekend we ordered delivery because we were being lazy and didn't want to get in the cold. Looking for something new, we ran across D'Cuban Cafe in our "Want to Try" bookmarks. The dishes we ordered were packaged well for delivery and it all was hot and fresh. Often fried foods end up a bit soggy when ordered via delivery, but these were not. My favorite was the fried plantains with rice, beans, and ropa vieja beef. The garlic cilantro sauce was so good, we'll definitely order extra next time!! To get a sampling of the "sides" we opted for the Cuban Sampler. It came with an empanada (we didn't get to choose the filling and were hoping for chicken but got beef/picadillo), fried yuca, papa rellena (a bit bland), ham croquette (hubby liked this, I wasn't a fan), and sweet plantains. We also ordered a guava pastelito to share (delicious but kind of skimpy on the filling). Last but not least we shared a cuban sandwich...you can't try a 'new to you' cuban restaurant without checking out the Cuban. It was much larger than we were expecting (nice!) and had good flavor. We thought it would probably be much better if we were eating it fresh from the restaurant instead of a bit smooshed from delivery.

    Lechon Asado Bowl

    The lechon asado (pulled pork) bowl with plantains is hands down one of my absolute favorite things to eat for lunch. The bowl is quite filling and contains the most delicious pulled pork, rice and savory black beans. The flavors are truly incredible. Add the hot sauce and creamy cilantro sauce for an elevation of flavors. I also can't visit without the getting their beef empanadas. They're really good. It gets quite busy during lunch hours, but the wait times have never been too crazy. There's plenty of free parking, the prices are very reasonable and the staff is always friendly.

    Cuban Sandwich, Whole

    I can finally say I've tried a real Cuban sandwich. I've had it a couple of times, here and there, but nothing like this (especially the Jimmy John's version lol). Amazing. The juicy meat, crunchy bread, spicy mustard, and special green sauce they provide made me finally experience what Cuban sandwiches are all about. All for only 8.95 (as of July 2023).

    We came here for the first time about a month ago, we are Cubans so we had high expectations. We were greeted by Camila, she was very welcoming and friendly, great service. We tried the sampler platter appetizer, it was good, the croquetas were a little bland and overly oily but not the worst we've had. I had the Cuban sandwich, it was very good. My partner had the pan con bistec, he said it was alright, not the best he's had. We also tried the pastelitos de Guayaba and queso, those were very delicious, the best we've had in Georgia. The ambiance was very chill and relaxed, not a traditional seat down restaurant, more like a order at the counter and seat a table if you'd like or take your food to go. If it weren't for the appetizer being a little bland and a bit to greasy and the pan con bistec lacking that extra flavor it would've been a five star.

    Papa Rellena
    Paloma A.

    I hope the owner or manager reads this. Having lived in Puerto Rico, Miami, and having Cuban family, I like Cuban food very much. This is the second time I've ordered from you guys, but it's always a letdown. Where is the love? Fries are undercooked and exteemely oily, noticeably fried in past due oil as they are dark. The Relleno de papa tasted like paprika and salt. No depth or anything, not even pieces of onion, although it had more meat than usual, but no Cuban flavor to it, and fried in the same dark brown oil. The sandwich was just mediocre, the bread was old, it had white american cheese instead of swiss, almost no mustard and just not made like it should. Shredded pork and just deli ham. Guys... please fix this! We need good Cuban food! Roast that pork and slice it, roast sweet ham and slice it, use swiss cheese and good crunchy pickles. Change the oil on that fryer.

    My coworker recommended them and so I looked up their menu online and ordered ahead. This was great because I didn't have to deal with the lunch rush. When I got there, my food was ready to go so I paid and got outta there. I ordered the vaca frita pollo bowl which is basically shredded chicken on a bed of rice with black beans and two pieces of fried very ripe plantains. For desert, I got a pastelita. If I had not gotten the pastelita, this would be a 3 star review. The hearty nature of the meal was a welcome difference from the fast food I'd been eating. But I had greater expectations for the seasoning in the food. The chicken was OK at best, lacking in seasoning and pretty dry. The beans were pretty basic as well, also lacking any real flavor. Now that pastelita though?!?! Mayne! It was deeeelicious! Fresh, flaky, buttery crust with the most amazingly fragrant and plentiful guava filling. I couldn't stop thinking about it all day. I went back after work for another one, but they were sold out :'( I may not have ordered the best meal on their menu, I don't know. It wasn't bad, just OK. But the dessert definitely put the exclamation mark on it for me.

    I ordered a takeout dinner. The restaurant is one of several in the building on Buford Highway and…read morethe parking lot was nearly full. It was early so the dining room had only two or three occupied tables and no one at the bar in the back yet. I was greeted immediately and waited a short time for my order to be ready. All the way home I could smell delicious odors from the bag! I ordered Churrasco de Entrada which is grilled skirt steak with chimichurri sauce and two sides. The steak was amazing! Tender, juicy, melted in my mouth. I had grilled vegetables and baked potato for sides. The vegetables were a mixture of broccoli, cauliflower, pea pods, carrots, and zucchini. They were cooked well and flavored with garlic. The foil packet of potatoes contained three small round potatoes also perfectly cooked through not seasoned at all. The meal came with three small dinner rolls and a few packets of butter. Everything was flavorful and delicious; garlic was quite strong though which I loved but might not be everyone's liking. I also ordered Alfajores from the bakery section for dessert. These are little sandwiches with soft shortbread cookies on the outside and soft dulce de leche and coconut filling between them. Four came in the box. This meal was at least two servings for me and it was a wonderful experience. I look forward to eating in the restaurant next time.

The location is in a small plaza with hard time to park because of the amount of businesses around. The restaurant is big with a lot of tables and good for big groups but too dark for my taste, the windows are so dark from outside that if it wasn't for the " open" sign you would think it is close. The food is good, I liked the quality of the chorizo and the skirt steak was grilled properly. I wished the fries were "fresh-cut", I understand that frozen fries are easier but a good steak deserves good fries. Another thing that lowers the experience is that the condiments like ketchup and mayonnaise are in packets like a fast food chain. The service was standard, I had to call my server everytime I wanted a refill. ( even thought the restaurant wasn't full).

    I drove a long way to visit this restaurant today, only to realize it wasn't actually my first time…read morehere. I remembered that one of my cousins had brought me here before for food, so I was expecting a decent experience. Unfortunately, today's visit was absolutely disappointing. I placed an order for oxtails, but they were out of mac & cheese, collard greens, and cabbage. The employee also mentioned they only had one dumpling left. What I don't understand is how a restaurant can be out of multiple sides that are supposed to come with the meal, yet still charge full price. The meal alone was $35. My son wanted additional items, so I still ordered food for him, but because the side options were so limited, I decided not to order anything for myself. In total, I ended up spending around $45, and the whole experience was just very disappointing. I really could've just bought the ingredients and made the meal myself, but I've been busy working in the house and handling a few projects, and before I realized it, the day had already gotten late. That's the main reason I decided to stop and buy food instead. Honestly, I guarantee I wouldn't have spent nearly as much making the meal myself as I ended up spending purchasing it there. To make matters worse, the employee serving us came across very nonchalant and unconcerned, which only added to the frustration. Overall, this is not a place I see myself visiting again anytime soon, if ever.
