After driving past Old Cuban Cafe on Goldenrod for years, I finally decided to stop in for a late…read morelunch. The restaurant sits in a converted old gas station, and parking is plentiful with some covered spots that provide welcome protection from the Florida sun. This is clearly an authentic Cuban spot where English appears to be a second language for some of the staff. Communication for a gringo like me was a bit challenging, but everyone was friendly and patient. I ordered a Cubano sandwich at the front counter and was asked if I wanted to make it a combo. When I asked what came with the combo, my understanding was a little limited, but I nodded yes and was asked if I wanted soda or water. I chose bottled water and believe I was credited back about $2 from the combo price. When my order was called, I picked up a basket at the counter holding a beautiful-looking Cubano alongside a generous serving of golden-brown French fries. Seating is simple and casual, and I noticed condiments are not kept on the tables other than salt, pepper, sugar, and napkin dispensers. I returned to the counter to ask for ketchup and hot sauce and was directed to a nearby table with ketchup packets while a small container of hot sauce was provided. The Cubano itself was well pressed with the Swiss cheese nicely melted and the meats heated throughout. The bread held together well and had a good texture. The ham was excellent, while the roast pork was fair. With mojo pork, you often get a mix of lighter and darker sections -- the darker pieces tend to have a stronger, gamier flavor, and this sandwich leaned more toward those sections. The pickles and mustard were well balanced and helped bring the whole sandwich together. The fries were fresh and crisp, though there was a slight hint of older fryer oil in the flavor. The hot sauce had a vinegar-forward profile and wasn't particularly spicy -- it reminded me somewhat of Texas Pete. The combo ended up being a solid value considering the size of the sandwich and the portion of fries. The restaurant also offers a buffet featuring many Cuban favorites, and I look forward to returning to sample some of those dishes along with a Cuban coffee. At the front counter there's also a glass case filled with pastelitos and a nice selection of empanadas that looked very tempting. Overall, a solid neighborhood Cuban spot with authentic character and plenty of menu options. If you're visiting for the first time, the Cubano is a good place to start.

As for the food, I ordered the Cuban special which came with a sandwich and rice and beans-- only $10 which you can't really beat for the portion and quality in this economy! Both were delicious, and the perfectly textured beans had a fresh garlic flavor which I loved. I do wish the sandwich either had more filling, or the bread were flattened out a bit so the ratio was more balanced. The cafe con leche was also delicious and wasn't overly sweet. I'd definitely stop by again just for the coffee!

Only downside is: They get pretty popular and can run out of food. Additionally the vegan scoops menu is outdated so milkshakes no longer come in glass jars and some hot plates aren't available.

Everything tastes incredibly fresh, and somehow it's always just as good as the last time. The rice bowls are my go-to, especially with the sweet plantains and their green sauce ‍ genuinely one of the best sauces I've ever had. I would put it on just about anything. Honestly, I can't think of a single thing I wouldn't recommend. Empanadas? Amazing. Cuban sandwiches? Amazing. Desserts? Amazing. The coffee is probably a 4/5 for me, but that's only because I'm personally not a huge fan of darker Cuban-style coffee, it was still really good though! The atmosphere is always spotless and has such fun Cuban/Miami vibes. It's casual, welcoming, and just a great place to grab lunch. The only downside is that parking can be a little stressful depending on when you go, but it's absolutely worth it every single time. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and go.

Taino's came through for us! We ordered a couple of sandwiches, the Cubano and chicken breast. I love that you have like 5 different styles of breads to choose from, always go for pan de agua, when they press it, it always gets nice and toasty so that when you bite into it, you get that very satisfying crunch. I usually never get fries because my focus is always on the sandwich, but we shared a medium fry which was huge! Also, I've realized what a mistake I've been making by not ordering the fries, they are really, really good! With that mayoketchup sauce, forget about it. If you love chocolate and coffee, do yourself a favor and order their mochaccino, it's very rich, and frankly; life changing. And of course, you can't leave Tainos without a pastry, their quesito's are very good. My friends are already talking about what they're gonna try the next time they come back so all in all I'd say it was a success.
