My father in law is Cuban, so we come HERE when he's in town! Such a cool little restaurant. I love how Roswell takes houses and turns them into restaurants (HINTITY HINT HINT WOODSTOCK!) This place is quaint and colorful. Lots to look at! Great outdoor area! The menu is full of Cuban staples. We tried the Cuban sandwich and the Rice Bowl with steak. Pro move: I added a side of chimichurri which was delicious from my bowl! The rice and beans were authentic and I really loved the plantains!! Our server was so nice and we were well taken care of! All in all you won't be disappointed with any of the dishes! Ask my father in law! He knows!! read more

First visit, overall an average experience. We sat outside and service was a bit slow and road noise a bit loud at times. I had a bowl adding Ropa Vieja for the protein - fairly tasty dish. My wife had a Chicken Cuban w/fries. She didn't care for it, neither did I - we found it to be overly dry and devoid of much flavor. read more

Had an amazing meal at Lazaro's Cuban Cuisine -- hands down the best Cuban sandwich I've had! The flavors are perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of spice -- enough to give it a kick without overpowering the sandwich. And don't skip the extra pickles -- they add the perfect tangy crunch that takes it to another level. One of my favorite things is the flexibility: you can grab it to go and bring it over to the brewery across the street, or sit on their patio and enjoy the weather. Great food, great vibe, and consistently delicious. Highly recommend! read more

What a gem. I loved this restaurant that is in a house. It's beautifully decorated with all Cuban cositas. The service was great, our server gave us recommendations. I had the vegan picadillo which was so innovative- made from platinos instead of meat! So delicious with Moro and the salad was amazing too- everything homemade- Cuban home cooking!!! Loved everything! read more

It had a nice ambience and good customer service, but I think that they could have a few more vegetarian options. The soup tasted very homemade (it was a chicken soup), but the bowl had a vinaigrette mix that made it taste more like a salad than a bowl. I ordered the chicken soup with the rice bowl with the vegan option. read more

Enjoyed my experience and food at Lazaro's, the first Cuban restaurant and had really good time. We ordered chicken fillet and chicken tenders and fries. Good quality chicken and very tasty. Yucca fries were great. Truly enjoyed the food and experience and coming back again!! Service and ambience were great. It had a Downtown Roswell vibe and I really liked it. read more

First, this ambiance and vibe in unmatched. You no longer feel like you're in the Atlanta burbs. Instead, you feel like you are in an authentic Havana Cafe. The pictures, the decor, the music all contribute to this warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff was quick to greet me and get my order. So I didn't have to wait too long for food or drinks. I got beef empanadas and he got a Cuban sandwich. Both were delicious! When we have more time, we'll try other item on the menu too!! read more

I had to update my review because despite being a Cuban who doesn't really care for most Cuban dishes, I have to admit that Lazaro's is one of the best dining establishments in all of Roswell. By far, the service here is unparalleled. Service at Lazaro's is ALWAYS fast, friendly, and efficient. We have never had anything but stellar service here and worlds better than even the fanciest, most expensive spots in town, which I think qualifies for five stars just based on that. Hubby loves his rice and beans here and the steak sandwich that he gets with it, which usually means he has at least half a sandwich left over for lunch the next day because their portions are generous. While I do like the steak sandwich and think their fries are some of the best around, I recently discovered their chorizo and manchego appetizer and OMG, I am hooked! They slice the chorizo into thin, bacon-like strips and then fry it. It is nothing short of amazing! I order it along with the bread basket that includes a generous helping of tiny Cuban tostadas and make my own little chorizo and cheese sandwiches, which makes my taste buds do a little happy dance. It includes a handful of olives and grapes too, which adds in some nice salty and sweet flavor. Hubby is super happy that I discovered this here because now he knows I am much more inclined to agree when he suggests Lazaro's for our date nights or even suggest it myself. If you have not tried Lazaro's yet, you are seriously missing out! I look forward to returning again soon for more great food and service. You should too! read more

Great cuban food in Roswell. The staff were all nice and helpful. It was a bit loud but it was definitely lively.

I am Cuban and other than cooking food myself, this place is legit. It's always consistent and one of my favorite places. I would recommend.

I recently had the pleasure of savoring some of the best Cuban cuisine I've encountered in over a decade. The vieja ropa and empanadas were outstanding, evoking the warmth and love of a traditional abuela's cooking. read more

We decided to head to Roswell for something different than our typical John's Creek fare. We came across Lazaro's and had heard about it for a few years. The location is in an old house, decorated with lights outside and adorned with lovely artwork in the various rooms. The service is homey and welcoming. We ordered spinach and corn empanadas empanadas that came with a sauce that should be bottled and we put it on everything. We also had cod fritters and a side salad. The fritters were okay but the dressing on the salad was unique and tangy. We had pulled pork, chicken, steak, and sausage. The dishes came with a nice rice, black beans and fantastic fried sweet plantains. The meats were fine but were slightly lacking flavor ( the aforementioned sauce helped. For dessert, we had one of our favorites, tres leches cake. This was authentic and crave worthy. This was a nice distraction from the usual standards and worth returning. read more

The food here is really tasty!! After looking at all the menu choices, I decided to order the traditional Cuban sandwich and a side of rice and beans. Oh!

Request a table outside under the illuminated Magnolia tree. It's magical. The menu offers the right variety of flavorful dishes seared to crispy perfection. Order enough to take home as a present to your future self. One of our favorites! read more

Outdoor dining under the magnolia is pleasant and tasty at Lazaro's. All your expected favorites are here, with some fun twists on classic Cuban dishes. Among other highlights, this is the one place that convinced my wife to change her 100% Ropa Vieja ordering record. So an extra half-star for that. If it's lunchtime, I'm likely to get something on Cuban bread. Whatever, just slap it between two loaves and smash it Cuba-style. Today was no change, and the steak was tasty, with rice/beans rounding out a huge portion. I know you're all pining for my wife's choice, and well you should. Apparently the star of their show is the roast pork, which is roasted for 24 hours or 24 months or something long. I agree it was flavorful, and I've been know to reject a 23-hour roast because I can tell. The lime sauce added a zesty topping. Take it from all the Cuban locals who pick this place for birthdays, celebrations, and more: they know the secret. From sangria to espresso, and of course tres leches and flan, head over and grab a table before it's too crowded. read more

If you love Cuban food, this restaurant is a MUST try. There are a few parking spaces out front but an ample sized parking lot behind the restaurant. There is outdoor dining area in front of the restaurant that is shaded by a huge Magnolia tree. Upon entry into Lazaro's, the kitchen and a bar area are on the left side of the restaurant with dining rooms in the back and right side of the restaurant. The dining areas are tastefully decorated with Spanish art with some funny Signs mixed in with the art. All of the seating is a combination of tables with seating for 4 or more guests. Our server was super friendly and answered all our questions about the menu. She brought the two of us menus and took our drink orders. My better half loved the large bottle of water that our server brought to the table. We ordered two sandwiches to share. One was a classic Cuban Sandwich and the other was the Spanish Sausage Sandwich. We both agreed that the Cuban Sandwich was the star of our plates. The pressed Cuban was adorned with tasty roasted pork piled high along with Black Forest Ham and Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard on Cuban bread. The Spanish Sausage sandwich was good but the sausage was a bit salty for our tastes. This sandwich has the same ingredients as the Cuban but the roasted pork is replaced with fried Spanish Sausage (our server compared it to bacon). For our sides we chose Yuca fries which were delicious; crispy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. These were served with Laz sauce which is a tomato and mayo sauce. The other side we selected was the mixed rice which is rice cooked with black beans topped with diced purple onions and fresh chopped parsley. We really liked both of the sides. Our server checked on use regularly and always had a smile on her face and seemed to love her job which always makes the dining experience better. If you enjoy Cuban food, you need to run out to Lazaro's Cuban Cuisine for some great service and excellent Cuban dishes. read more

So good, I had to come back. I didn't have a big appetite, so I ordered the Beef Empanadas with a side of Rice and Beans. The Empanadas were delicious. The crust was flaky and they didn't fall apart. I'm not sure what the sauce is called, but it definitely was a good compliment to the Empanadas. I also ordered a Sangria, which was good. If you drink Sangrias, this one is a must try. It has fresh fruit with the perfect balance of wine. Everyone in the restaurant was friendly. I sat at the bar this time. I have a view of fresh sunflowers andddd... I have a peek at the kitchen that has so many good looking dishes passing by. That means, I'll be back! Lol read more

This place is AMAZING! They have the best Cuban sandwich around. I've been told they import their bread from Miami. I really enjoy the Ropa Vieja, empanadas and tamales. 10/10 would recommend their pitcher of sangria. You get a good amount of sangria for $28 while their glass of sangria is $10 so it's a good deal. We went for Father's Day and they had a deal for 2 Cubans for $15 total. It was a crazy good deal. It's a small building that I think used to be an old house. I personally find sitting inside tends to be a little warm. They have a small patio that is very nice if they weather is good. The parking lot is very small and gravel so if you go during a busy time, you may have to park elsewhere. Their staff are always very kind and attentive. read more

Love this place - we've been several times now and always have had a great experience. They have an awesome patio with lots of seating but the inside is pretty cool too - they have a ton of artwork all around which is fun to look at. Their sandwiches are amazing!!! Such good, crusty Cuban bread and the meat and sauces are delicious. We've had the empanadas which are tasty and plantains and yucca. We've also had the chorizo and cheese app - the chorizo has just the right amount of spice. The sangria is yummy and comes out in pretty green jugs. We've also had good service - the servers are friendly and attentive...highly recommend if you're looking for a good meal! read more

My family recently chose to celebrate our birthday's here. Me, plus my mom and dad are all Aquarius. My parents dine here all the time and said that it's consistently delicious. They have been eating here since it opened. It was the first time for Mark and I to dine here and we loved it! It's located in a charming bungalow in historic Roswell. We arrived for an early Saturday evening dinner since the parking lot is small and has limited space. The interior has a fun Caribbean theme and colorful artwork. Service was friendly and efficient. The quality of the food and wine was excellent and the prices are in line for the quality. Our family ordered the tostones with shrimp, chicken empanadas, salted cod fritters for appetizers and they were amazing! Main entrees were all spectacular! My brother loved his medianoche sandwich and my parents loved their skirt steak churrasco with chimmichuri sauce. The coconut flan and Cuban coffees were a great conclusion to our meal! We love this place!!! read more

My friends and I came to Lazaro's for an early dinner on Saturday and made it here at about 6ish. I'm thankful we did because it got busy as time wore on. The food here was delicious. This is about as close to South Florida Cuban as I've gotten. The beef empanada was my favorite, I felt like the chicken needed more flavor but I always feel that way about chicken empanadas. The ribeye was cooked medium like I prefer. The rice was made right, great amount of seasoning and it wasn't over cooked which I hate. If I was in the area I would come back. I ordered a Cuban to go and a chicken filet for my cousin also to go. In all I paid 79 ish which included a $12 tip. Update : ate the Cuban and it was great, reheated well. I got the plantains with it and wished I'd gotten the rice and beans. If you're in the area go. read more

I found Lazaro's online, read reviews and their menu so decided to give it a try. Was NOT dissappointed My wife and I split the Cuban which was huge! Our side was mixed rice and beans. BEST Cuban I've had in my 50 years of living here. The restaurant is a really cute renovated older home with tons of great pictures/artwork all over. There's a really nice outdoor dining patio under a huge tree. We WILL be back read more

Cuban sandwich was excellent, tons of roast pork. Awesome cold water jars. Very nice patio under massive shade trees. Was not crazy about their back beans, they are sweet tasting, not sure about that, never had sweet back beans. But will order another type of side next time. read more

Apologies for no pictures. We just had a wonderful lunch. Sangria, cod fritters, Cuban sandwich, steak and onions, ground beef, Ham croquettes. All food served here is like mana from heaven. So good. Even the black beans and rice on the side are amazing. read more

This is my absolute favorite Cuban restaurant!! I've had a number of entrees here before. They have the best Medianoche Sandwich in town! The sandwich comes with rice and beans which are also flavored to perfection. There's a small free parking lot behind the restaurant. I'd recommend getting here early to secure a spot and a table. Servers here are very kind and offer great suggestions! I also love their plantains and get them as a side every time. The side of plantains is around $6 but includes an entire plate of plantains which makes me happy! They have both indoor and outdoor seating on their huge front patio. I can't wait to go back again soon! read more

Lazaro's epitomizes a friendly, laid-back family business. Our server -- hi, Sara! -- is not part of the family, but you'd think she is. An asset to the business. (And we appreciate that she was wearing a mask.) The patio in front of the restaurant is shaded and comfortable. Part of the reason why we came. So I was originally going to order a marinated chicken breast, but when I saw sandwiches brought to a neighboring table, I did a last-minute switcheroo. I haven't eaten steak in years, but for some reason it resonated. Good -- not extraordinary --topped with potato sticks for extra crunch. We were warned that the Habanero sandwich is very hot. Sara was concerned that my 94 year old mother would be in over her head. However, mom thought it was great with roast pork, ham, pepper jack cheese and hot peppers. My husband ordered the pork plate -- the only person who finished every last bite, with nothing to take home. For $2 extra, we swapped out plantain chips for white rice and beans. One would think white rice is white rice -- but this was particularly flavorful. And the beans, as one would expect in a Cuban restaurant, were wonderful. We split a large salad three ways. The vinaigrette -- listed as almond/garlic -- needs to be jazzed up. Mid-afternoon Saturday, parking was not a problem. And as I was told, when the business next door is closed, you can likely spill into their small lot. read more

Just like back at home... and that's saying a lot when my mother-in-law is Cuban and an exceptional cook! Hubby had bistec palomilla (steak with onions) and liked it a lot. It was cooked perfectly and filled with all the right flavor. I had arroz con pollo (chicken and rice). It was "arroz con Pollo Friday" and the waitress sold me on it with her description. ...and she was right! It was stupendous.... So very good. The rice was perfectly cooked and the flavor of the chicken was beyond description. The waitress was so friendly and helpful and so nice. She told us her dads story, and we shared tid-bits from our family. She even posed for a selfie with us. My only complaint is that this restaurant is not back in New York! read more

Words cannot EXPRESS how good their food is. Their Cuban sandwich is to die for and is addicting. Perfect combination of flavors and good portion sizes. The flavor of the beans are garlicky/oniony and super addicting. The rice is always the perfect texture with a salty/buttery flavor. I had their coffee as well and it was pretty good. Additionally, I had their tres leches and it wasn't the best, but I was just trying something new. Nevertheless, try them out, it's too good to skip out on. read more

I went at lunch time looking forward to all the good reviews and some great cuban food! Boy was I disappointed! The palomilla steak was very dry, no garlic or lime, no taste and the driest and toughest piece of meat I have ever had for this kind of steak. I know it is not filet but I do know what to expect from it. The black beans and white rice were very good. The Tres Leche cake was terrible. It tasted like pound cake, it was very dense and a very thin piece with hardly any milk noticeable and what tasted like cool whip on top. Our server was very sweet and very slow! They did take the steak off the tab and I didn't even bother to complain about the cake. I barley ate anything on my plate. Lazaro you can do better! read more
