    Little Grand Market
    Micah T.

    Great food and environment ! This location used to be in Dublin but moved to the Little Grand Market in Grandview. The markers bathrooms were nice and clean, although I was there earlier in the day. The staff were pleasant and speedy with their service. Got a Cuban BBQ Pulled pork sandwich and shared some croquettes with a friend. Overall not bad, will try another item on the menu again!

    El Cubano
    Adam G.

    Pablo's is located inside North Market at Bridge Park. If you haven't visited Bridge Park or North Market, you need to check it out. I went with the traditional 'El Cubano,' not to be confused with another option, 'La Cubana.' El Cubano has pork, whereas La Cubana has chicken. Both also have ham, swiss cheese, pickles and mustard. For sides, they offer maduros, tostones, fries, or yuca. After getting a run down of the differences, I opted to try the yuca. The food was ready in 5-10 minutes. The sandwich was huge, definitely enough to split with someone else. The cuban sandwich was pretty good, but I wish it had honey mustard instead of regular mustard -- not sure if that's sacrilegious for a cuban sandwich, but a little bit of added sweetness would've been nice. The yucas were interesting -- think large fried chunks of potato. It came with an oil dipping sauce that didn't have much flavor, so I opted for ketchup instead. Again, not sure if that's sacrilegious to put on yuca, but it made it more palatable. Overall, glad I tried Pablos and the cuban sandwich was pretty decent.

    Tampa Cubano
    Barbara S.

    My husband was in the mood for a cuban sandwich, so I got on Yelp to look up recommendations. Pablo's popped up, and do we decided to have a date night at The Moryh Market. We found the restaurant inside and the guy who waited on us was very nice. My husband ordered the original cubano sandwich with fries, and I ordered the Tampa cubano with tostones. We also ordered pineapple sodas. The food was good. I did think that my first bite of the tostones was salty, but I dipped the rest in an oily mixture that came with it, and it after that, it tasted pretty good. My husband also noticed that they sold cigars (we are cigar afficandos). Definitely will probably make another trip back.

    Cuban Sandwich
    Adolphus M.

    My fiancee thought the Little Grand food court was clean and welcoming. She ordered the Cuban Sandwich. The sandwich was delicious and the flat fried bread was delicious. She thought there should have been more honey ham. The balance with the honey ham was a little lacking. She advised that she would still recommend it to friends and family!!

    Cuban Bowl with Ropa Vieja
    Barb H.

    I ordered the Cuban Bowl with seasoned beef which was great. Also, there was a lot of it. The sweet fried plantains were not cut in half as they usually are and they were the best plantains I've ever eaten - nice and soft in the middle. Service was friendly and quick. I'd definitely go back.

    Cuban Pulled Pork and fries
    Marissa C.

    We had previously visited the Powell location (which is the one my original review is for, as it looks like Yelp may have transferred them over with the location change), so it was nice to check out their newer place in the North Market at Bridge Park in Dublin. They have a very nice storefront in the market, very eye catching, and you can see into the kitchen as the whip together lots of tasty looking sandwiches and prepare Cuban coffee. As one expects from the North Market, there is a large cafeteria style seating area in the middle, and Pablo's provides small buzzers to take with you to your seat to get your attention when the food is ready. This time, we opted to go with the Cuban Pulled Pork sandwich and fries. The meat was tender and juicy, and it comes topped with BBQ sauce and pickles. The fries came out golden and crispy. The market as a whole was hopping when we stopped by, and Pablo's was no exception. Despite the crowd, they were friendly and efficient, making sure everyone had whatever extra items they may need - napkins, silverware, ketchup packets, and the like. We'll stop by again! Parking wise, there is a conveniently located free parking garage right by the entrance to the North Market.

    El Cubano
    Aubrie H.

    We loved their Powell location so we were thrilled to see them at the Bridge Park North Market. Everything we have ordered from the Powell location has always been solid and it seems like this is the case for this location as well. We ordered an El Cubano and it was delicious. Bread had a nice crunch and we really enjoyed it.

    a can of pineapple soda
    Tonya S.

    My husband was really excited to bring me here after a friend of his recommended we try it. I love Cuban food and I was very excited to try it as well. When we walked in we were the only ones there which might have factored into our negative experience but the girl taking our order wasn't helpful at all. I got a full Cuban sandwich, my husband got a half and I bought a can of soda which was three dollars and fifty cents. Our food (without the drink) came to eighteen dollars. Eighteen dollars for a sandwich and a half, without any sides or drinks was a ripoff considering the sandwiches were very bad. I hate to be so negative and hope that maybe we just came on an off day but I won't return to risk eating expensive bad food.

    Cuban Bread!!!!!
    Anthony G.

    I am a half Cuban, born and raised in Miami-Dade County, Florida. I know Cuban food, this is authentic and well done Cuban food. My family and I were visiting the Columbus area. A few years ago we moved to Van Wert, OH. We miss our cultural food, and whenever we go somewhere now where we can have some good Cuban food, we go. We came one morning right at opening. We were craving some good Cuban breakfast. That is just what we got here. The server immediately sat us down and got our orders. I loved this little place. I loved how it was decorated with the mural and of course the small tiny Cuban flags! We started with an appetizer, which were some croquetas de jamon. Croquetas de jamon are essentially fried bite sized logs of ground ham. They are some of my favorite things to eat. Anyone who hasn't tried one, should! We also ordered some cafe con leche as our drink order. Anyone not familiar, this is Cuban coffee with milk. Its fantastic! We ordered some eggs, chorizo, and hash browns with a side of bacon. We also all had some Cuban toast! Oh how i love and miss Cuban bread! Cuban bread is the best bread, it is truly heavenly! Closest equivalent would be Italian... Its both Crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside... its perfection... and Cuban toast just takes that and makes it even better! The restaurant also sells Cuban bread to go as well as Cuban soft drinks like Iron Beer, Jupina, and Materva. We took some Cuban bread, Jupina, and Materva to go back to Van Wert. The service throughout our time her was excellent! The whole experience was excellent! Anyone in Columbus who wants to try Cuban food should come here... and if your a fellow Cuban... come here for some authentic Cuban food!

    El Cubano
    Doug S.

    Best Cuban sandwich I've had in Columbus. Pork, ham, Swiss cheese melted together on pressed Cuban bread. Made fresh when you order. Delicious. The mustard and pickles complements the sandwich well. They have a lot more delicious looking items on the menu I'd like to try. Looking forward to trying more items.

    This is an adorable small restaurant in a strip mall in Powell serving authentic homemade Cuban cuisine. There are pictures of Havana on the walls and cigar boxes on display. And while we were only stopping in for pickup, the staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. We ordered a veggie Cuban sandwich with fries, and an order of Yukon fries which were absolutely amazing. They come with a side of garlic dipping sauce that takes them to another level. The beef empanadas were also delicious as well. We tried both types of plantains which are similar to fried bananas. They have the tostones, which are twice fried, flat, and taste a bit starchy. I wasn't a huge fan of them but my husband loved them. The Maduros are fried and caramelized, and were more my cup of tea. We also had a piece of the tres leche cake which was also pretty good. Glad we found this place and definitely will be back again sometime soon!

    I wanted to try something new and different, big mistake. I ordered Havanna sampler so I could try several things. The items were very hard and bland. I thought the food would be full of flavor. I hope their other choices taste good. The staff was really nice, but I probably want go back.

    Salad
    Valerie C.

    Fantastic Cuban food! We really enjoyed the rather large empanada! The beef inside was so tasty, and our daughter loved it, too! We ordered a standard Cuban sandwich and the Tampa which adds salami. I highly recommend the Tampa. I loved that extra pizazz of flavor. Other family members ordered the pork dinner, sandwich sampler, and BBQ pork sandwich. Everyone left happy!
