That's ok if you want to enjoy the live before 30 minutes and the rest is just DJ music. I see people bringing kids at midnight, what's wrong whit this people to let you them get in. read more

Friday evening - anticipating the live music,dancing and, dinning experience I was excited to try this place out. Appetizer ( croquetas and the plantain filled with ropa vieja) were so bland. No flavor. Waited an hour - food came out and was cold- the manger/owner seemed sincere in his apology. He offered to redo all entrees and we eat free- because of the flavor( lack of), wait time, and cold food... we declined and opted to leave and go eat somewhere else. read more

Really bad service , very expensive, they charged us $20 for beef fajitas, charged us $4 for 3 yucas that is ridiculous, we had to wait 15 mins for someone to ask us if we want another beer in a restaurant with 5 tables, never come back and the food wasn't that bad but doesn't worth the price , nope don't go there read more

Food has been very good each of the 3 times I've had it. Twice came in to order for to go. Each time had difficulty finding someone who would/could speak English. The 3rd time tried to order over the phone and the woman who answered was downright rude. I gave up but then found out they have delivery thru Uber Eats. The order was delivered exactly as requested. Each time I've ordered it has been $75 or more. The oxtails are very good but don't expect a pleasant and helpful voice if you call. read more

The food was too bland and had no flavor. I've had much better Cuban food than this.

Fantastic food and salsa dancing! Our group had a wonderful time. We will definitely return.

We visited this restaurant with family and friends recently. We went to the club vs. the restaurant up front. The ambiance is excellent with great live music. Even though the club was not full, the level of service was good but could be faster. Everyone was very friendly though. Comparing the food to cuban restaurants we have visited in Miami and Tampa we can only rate the food quality as good. The meat dishes were a little overcooked although the plantains were excellent. read more

Just left very dissapointed. 2:42 pm on a Saturday, the place was not busy, 15 minutes and no one acknowledged my presence. After 15 I walked to the front and informed the lady there, said someone would be right w me. Patiently waited another 5 min, then left. I will not return, there are way too many restaurants in Houston to accept that type of treatment. read more

Flor De Cuba - Cuban Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'm just not coming back.... The food didn't wow my taste buds (I tried the lunch buffet, the shrimp dish was good, though I could have passed on the rest) and I was virtually ignored because I came with a group of Latin coworkers that clearly speak English because I'm sitting here speaking English but one of them had to translate because you ignored me and didn't bother to speak English to me after you finished your spiel to them when clearly you can speak English because you spoke to me in English when the bill came! Longest run on ever...but it was better than the service I received here! Keyword - English! Don't ignore someone at a table. If this restaurant was actually in Cuba, I wouldn't complain but this is Hwy 6 & Clay, get it together! read more

This is maybe my fifth visit to this restaurant. I have never been impressed by it, but it is OK Cuban food. The decor is cute and very Cuban. I really love the coffee sacks on the wall, that's a smart detail. The kitchen is in plain view of the diners, which is great as you can see it is clean! The service was OK. Our waitress forgot one of the orders and brought out the wrong rice. When we corrected the order she still forgot the sweet plantains, it was a busy day so I will give her the benefit of the doubt. The Yuca frita was too greasy (eeeww). I have never been impressed with the food, I've had better Cuban food in Houston. I do have to tell you their Guanabana milkshake is wonderful! (Don't ask me what guanabana is, I don't know how to translate it!) read more

We're new to Houston. While in the car and asked the driver next to us "if you could eat anywhere , where would you go" so we went with excitement just to be severely disappointed and disgusted. Initially the food came out cold which hey , it happens. Watched the waitress take it back to the kitchen to heat up just to watch the cook stick her finger in my food before she microwaved it. The best food we had was the American French fries which we never even ordered but was served ! What else can I say if you like finger food you will love this place lol all I can do is laugh. GTFO read more

I came by on a Wednesday night and the service was much better. You can't go wrong with a beefsteak sandwich. It's my favorite thing here. read more

I was so disappointed from the beginning at this place. I saw on the menu that a natural fruit juice is $6. What? For that side of town? Sometimes I don't know who people think they are to set those prices. My Dad and I ordered a sangria and we were insulted. What did we get for $6? Cheap sangria from a bottle on a wine glass. That was it. A very bad quality sangria on a wine glass, not a homemade sangria with fruits on it. That is the first time I have been served sangria that way in a restaurant. Also I wanted the avocado salad and they were out of avocados. What restaurant runs out of avocados in July? Bad planning on the manager's part. Their prices could be lower. The pastries are good. Customer service is OK. Waitress didn't seem to care about our dissatisfaction with the sangria. I don't know how this place is still open with those prices and what they serve you. read more

Flor De Cuba - The sangria....don't order it! Maybe you're better off with the tinto de verano, which I didn't try but it does have fruit! - Cuban Near Me - Houston, Texas

Always saw this restaurant and never tried it. Yesterday I had an opportunity to, and I was very impressed. The decor is wonderful, and had an island vibe. I would say it's a hole in the wall, but it's more like a flower among thorns. It's in a strip plaza that's fairly empty ever since Harvey. The wait staff is very attentive and the food is on point. I'm originally from Miami, and so I had very high expectations for the food and it did not disappoint. They have a dessert bar; enough delights for you to indulge as you please. My favorite so far is their tres leches! I highly recommended it. For my main course I had the pork chop dish with a side of fried ripe plantains ; it was divine! I highly recommended visiting if you're looking for authentic great tasting Cuban food. read more

I think this is one of the most authentic Cuban places in Houston. I don't know if it's the best, because they do well with some things here, and they don't do well in others. What they don't do well here, it's recommended to go to Copacabana on Hwy 6 South (despite the Brazilian name, it's Cuban). It's the "other" authentic Cuban place in town (and maybe nicer looking inside). This place however, evokes more Cuban nostalgia, with its decor. What they do better than Copacabana here is the vaca frita. Larger portions too. I had it with plantains and yuca hervida (boiled yuca) and it more than satisfied my Cuban craving. read more

"Smells awesome!", are the words I spewed out as we walked into this Cuban food wonderland. We've been here several times and will continue to return. I typically get the roast pork while my companion insists on the Ropa Vieja. I did branch out though and try their Media Noche sandwich. Other samplings have included the empanadas, croquetas, Chicharritas FLOR DE CUBA and of course the black beans and rice as well as the maduros. Everything has been excellent. I will warn you though, if you are expecting south Florida cuisine, you'll likely be a little let down. There's a regional difference that just can't be met. It's like trying to get New York bagels of Chicago pizza here in Houston, it's close but not exactly perfect. That being said, this is the best place for Cuban place I've found in Houston that is still open. People have complained about the staff, but I feel they're authentic. I've always got the "I'm better than you" vibe from Cuban places especially in South Florida, and I can't disagree simply because I can't cook food with the phenomenal flavor like they can! read more

Flor De Cuba - Great Cuban food. Excellent menu..excellent service!!! Cuban sandwich was excellent!! - Cuban Near Me - Houston, Texas

We went for our wedding anniversary. We have been here before and I am of Cuban descent so I know the food. Last night did not disappoint. I had the Ropa Vieja while my wife had the vaca frita. Both items were well cooked with excellent seasoning and taste. Our only criticism was the service. It wasn't bad overall but the waitress was rather slow getting our order and then the order was cooked wrong ( order was no onions and they put onions) . The good part was she was apologetic and they cooked my wife a new batch of food which is a tremendous positive. It was a big deal given my wife is allergic to onions but I give a lot of credit for the rapidity that they fixed it. We will be coming back no doubt as the slow service for Thai restaurant in the years we have been coming here. read more

My first time checking this place out and I was pleasantly surprised with HALF OFF drinks!!! WINNING!!! The strawberry mojito was fantastic! I ordered two. The appetizer that had already been ordered before I got there had some good selections. The platano chips were so thin, crispy and yummy! Chicharones, papa rellena, and I don't remember what else. The table enjoyed it. For dinner I ordered the chicken marinated in garlic. It was soooo flavorful and the chicken was cooked perfectly. With a side of fresh veggies that included squash, carrots, cauliflower and they were quite tasty! Black beans were good too. My coworker had a different chicken dish and liked it as well. There was no room for dessert! Actually, we'll call my second mojito dessert!! Lol it was so good that my coworker ordered one as well. When everyone has mojitos, the night is GREAT!!! I'd definitely come back and try more off the menu. Oh! We sat outside on the "patio", which is part of the shopping center. It was pretty quite around there though. Music playing was entertaining too. I heard they have live music sometimes too! Support local and check out this little Cuban gem. read more

Flor De Cuba - Empty plates, couldn't wait. - Cuban Near Me - Houston, Texas

It took 20 minutes to just get the menu . The waitress did not check back to see if we needed anything. We asked for water and she had completely forgot . We asked again and it took 10 minutes . How hard is it to get water . ( Seriously ) the food was ok, nothing great compared to other restaurants. Small portions as well was notable when compared to other restaurants . We chose to dine in, and were sat back to back despite basic COVID distance requirements. The restaurant was hot with barely working AC . I could keep going but you get where this is going . read more

I brought my Cuban born/ NJ raised uncle to this spot as I'm trying to convince him and my aunt to move to Houston. Let's just say bringing them to the restaurant sealed the deal! El servicio y la comida fue excelente. Un reconocimiento a Ivonne (creo que su nombre es así) por su excelente servicio! Hasta mi esposa que no es muy fan de la comida cubana salió enamorada de la ropa vieja y la yuca frita. Regresaremos, we will be back! Moises read more

My husband and I were invited to a family members birthday party here. The live music experience was amazing! Free for women but $10 for men to get in. The food was delicious, BUT I didn't enjoy the portions. My husband and I had separate plates and decided to order another plate of food to split because we were still hungry after our first plates. Our waitress was a little bit iffy when it came to us ordering alcohol. My husband and I each ordered $6 frozen margaritas, but were charged $24 total just for the margaritas. Because the flavor we requested was "premium" (blue hawaiian). I wish our waitress told us that before putting it on our tab...My husband also ordered a 3 Liter pitcher of beer. Our waitress said $45 at the table, but the bartender at the bar said $36... Great overall weekend experience, but I would suggest double checking and reviewing your orders once you receive your receipt. Wouldn't come here again, since I felt like we were being scammed!! read more

Really good Cuban food! They moved from the much bigger location they used to have after hurricane Harvey. Their new address is 16618 Clay Rd it's not far at all from the old location. Shopping center past los cucos. It still tastes just as great! And they call it "cafe flor de Cuba" I'm assuming since the location is much smaller and I noticed the menu looks smaller but still has the items I love to order! I ordered the bistec de palomilla with arroz blanco and frijoles negros (separate) and I got chicharritas with the mojo de ajo dipping sauce. Can you say yummy?! Anywho, can't wait to go back and try the ropa Vieja, or maybe a sandwich read more

Great food. Opened late and they also have a dance floor that opens after hours. Yeehaa!

Totally NOT recommend this place. Service is slow/ food took forever to come out. Got here at 7:15 food came out at 8:34 "milanesa de pollo" taste was terrible. Chicken was hard and blend/ veggies were soggy and the rice was covered oregano. Nothing was pleasant about this visit. read more

I had the roasted pork, and it was the worst I've ever had. It was barely warm, stale, dry, and completely flavorless. I exchanged it for the fried pork chunks, which were not much better. Further, the portions were extremely small for the prices, and I found it extremely difficult to communicate with any of the staff. Nice people, but I will not be returning. read more

After pandemia everything changed. Flies, old white rice, poor chicken fricasé, breaded beef is not the same, poor quality meat, very few customers. Service is good. I sincerely hope they have a revival. They used to be a great restaurant. My review is based in two recent visits and a delivery requested within a month. read more
