It was my first time here and we came for the weekend brunch. So I can't give my full experience of this place. However, the food options were not that expensive and had decent portions. What made us go was the unlimited mimosas (or Bloody Marys and Blueberry Champagne punch) for $15.50 for 90 minutes. They were very attentive with refilling the glasses allowing us to get well over our moneys worth. We also got the tres leches which was pretty good but could have been soaked more but maybe it was because we came so early‍. As we got there right when it opened, it wasn't too crowded and have a good vibe. We definitely need to come back at night to get the full ambiance with music and dinner! read more

No matter what type of day this place is a VIBE and has been a staple since my husband was just a boyfriend lol. Now we have kids and visit regularly- with or without them. Love that it's family friendly- the staff ALWAYS includes us in fun conversations , and the food is consistently wonderful AND authentic. We try something new every single time we're here, and the staff is always happy to bring some plantain strips for my kids when we come in! Love and will remain regulars! read more

t was a cold, rainy day and I was craving Cuban food, so I decided to give The Cuban in Garden City a try. From the outside, the place looks pretty cool and inviting, with several classic cars parked out front that immediately catch your attention. We were greeted by friendly staff, and the atmosphere inside was very lively. We sat down and ordered our food along with some cocktails. The coconut shrimp was just okay--it tasted like it had been fried a bit too long. The chicken with garlic rice and beans was unfortunately very salty, almost to the point of being hard to eat. Our second dish, the ropa vieja, was again just okay and had a noticeable sweetness to it--possibly from the peppers. The drinks were decent, and the place features a dance floor, giving it more of a nightlife vibe than a traditional sit-down restaurant. While I'm not sure I'd return specifically for the food, I would recommend it if you're looking for Latin flavors, drinks, and a fun nightlife atmosphere. read more

What can I say about the Cuban. Everything about this place is top to bottom amazing. We stopped in for dinner this past weekend and got in a little early for our reservation. The front of house staff let us know that we could grab a drink at the bar while our table was prepared, and through a turn of events ended up speaking with the staff and they actually ended up comping our drinks! We were promptly seated and served with warm bread and some type of whipped garlic butter that was incredible. We ordered a few apps, and the cubancitos were a great taste, especially if you don't want to get a whole sandwich as your entree. My wife got the guac, which is prepared table side to liking. For entrees, we got the Lechoncito and the Pollo Sofrito, which were both bursting with flavor and presented perfectly. By the time we were done with out meals, the place was bustling and busy, but unfortunately we missed the live entertainment. They were decorated for Christmas, which was a nice touch, but will definitely be back for the entertainment. read more

Celebrating a milestone birthday, party of 11. Great restaurant I was returning to TC. The service and ambiance: great. The menu is comprehensive offering plenty of Cuban/Caribbean cuisine. TC has a great location on Garden City, with parking and the photo op outside with the 1950s car models. I hope to be able to repeat this kind of review all the time. read more

The food was absolutely delicious flavorful, generous portions, and truly authentic Cuban cuisine that did not disappoint. I ordered the Lechoncito the pork was cooked to perfection, pickled onions was a perfect added touch 10/10! We were celebrating a family member's birthday with a group of seven on a very busy Friday night, and the service was outstanding. Our server, Bryan, was attentive and professional throughout the evening, managing to take great care of us despite the packed house. The ambiance was vibrant and lively, with live entertainment that included dancers and a DJ. You can sit back and enjoy the show or even get up and join the dancing perfect for a fun night out. If you're looking for a festive atmosphere, excellent service, and authentic Cuban food, this is definitely the place to be. And for a group of seven, we found the bill surprisingly affordable. Highly recommend! read more

Valet parking only , we were seated pretty quickly. Waiter was pleasant and service was good. Hot bread served .Pace of serving was good also with the time to eat our appetizer before entree came . I had the salmon and quinoa with salad. Salmon tasted good but they gave a minuscule amount of quinoa. I think they could me more hero us with the quinoa. Most of plate was salad. Pork chunk entree was good if small chunks . Dessert, tres leches, was delicious read more

Me and the wife had a great lunch. That skirt steak was pure perfection. The calamari blew her mind. The staff were very polite and welcoming. Inside is spacious and plenty of parking.

I been here a couple of times and I have enjoyed it. The food is good. The old pictures and ambiance makes it feel like you're in Cuba. The vibes are what you come here for. They have live music and on weekends they turn into a lounge with great music and dancing. The service is mediocre if you're around the bar. They do seem like they need more help around the bar when they stop serving the entrees. I asked several employees but they couldn't give an answer when I asked if they kept serving food after 10pm. Which they do. It is only apps or finger food. They are open late and it gets lively so expect a good time. read more

I'll start by saying I came here a few years ago and didn't like it but this past visit changed my mind. Maybe new Chefs? Came for brunch with my parents and overall it gets a 8.5/10 for us. While it was busy all of our food came out quick and was fresh. The bottomless is true bottomless! I appreciate them coming around constantly filling our drinks. Thats very rare and the price you cant beat! Our apps were all good but entrees can use some improvement. My entree was the best one Churrasco bomb. The rice would better in my opinion. Empanadas are really good I haven't had a good empanada in a while. Maduros nice a sweet ! Chicharron de pollo could use more pollo for the price but it was nice and crispy. While some Entrees like the steak and eggs on the brunch menu could use some work they deserve above a 4.0 rating on Yelp! Come check them out. read more

Came here for my birthday with my wife and kids, always wanted to try the Cuban. We ordered drinks, pina coladas, mojitos and margaritas and Chips and Willy's Guacamole for appetizer. Drinks were ok, didn't seem to have much alcohol, chips and guac were very good. For dinner I had the CHURRASCO CUBANO, Black angus open flamed grilled skirt steak, chimichurri, arroz moro and maduros topped with pickled onions, my wife and kids had the Vegetarian Paella, Served with carrots, cauliflower, green peas, red and green peppers, crushed tomatoes and sofrito sauce with Saffron rice, and 2 orders of Palomilla En Cebolla, Thinly sliced prime beef, marinated in garlic, lime, juice, topped with caramelized onions, cilantro, served white rice and black beans. Skipped desert but wanted to try Cuban coffee, was a very small portion, like a shot espresso, didn't know what expect. a little pricing for what it was. Our server didn't seem to speak English too well. Service was good, food and drinks came out in a reasonable amount of time. Overall, a little disappointed, definitely on the drinks, and coffee, food was good. When we left around 8:00 it was really starting to pick up with entertainment. Would like to give it another try at some point. Maybe order wine or beer for dinks. read more

I've been here before but didn't experience the entertainment as we did Friday evening...we came early this time and was lucky enough to get a bar table right next to the stage our waitress Sonia was very friendly and welcoming with excellent service the drinks and food was 10/10 the dancers were great the restrooms needs improvement but other than that we are most definitely going to return my bf and I had a blast. read more

What an awesome spot. Great food, fun vibes, and I loved the atmosphere. We came for a private party so we had a small pre-set menu to choose from. I'd come back for the full restaurant experience the food was that good. For the starter we had the Cubano mixto (a sampling). I loved the yucca fries. As my entree I had the la campechana which is an entire platter of seafood - lobster, scallops, mussels, and shrimp. It was delicious. Dip some Cuban bread in it and it's amazing. The mojitos were fantastic. They brought out fresh churros for dessert. I'm not a churro person but these were SO GOOD! Service was okay. They try hard, it was a large party so it's difficult to manage. Food took a long time to come out but other than that, this is a repeat place to go to. read more

Has been here twice before and loved the look of it. It has this retro 60's era. They have old cars parked in the front, and palm trees as well. It does share the same building as the bowling alley. Last two times I was here the service was good and we got everything on time. Everything was going well this then around at first but after a my friend and I got out our food out of the way, and got the dessert menu, they took a while to ask if we wanted to order anything off the dessert menu or even wanted the check. The food was really good and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm not sure if it took a long time considering they're was an event going on, but I want to give them the benefit of the doubt considering it is the first time the have done this. read more

this traditional cuban restaurant was full of energy! inside & out the was beautifully decorated with cuban decor. music and dancers made dinner even more enjoyable for the holiday season. lengthy menu with plenty options for all. i highly encourage stopping in if your looking for a fun night out tips: wear your dancing shoes photographers on site perfect for large groups read more

Came here last night. Not too much parking available which is a bummer. Just my opinion, get rid of 1 or 2 of the historical cars out front to make room for your customers. The decorations and ambiance makes you want to dance. It's very nice. I was disappointed with the wiggly table. Just get a new one. The music was absolutely amazing and I'd love to come back to hear and dance again. The food was divine. It was just me and another person. I was stuffed. I highly recommend the marinated skirt steak and red sangria. Service was fast. read more

really loved my food. we visited from Colorado. very good experience, and super cute ambiance

Sadly everything started off well the service was fine the music was fine they have a good ambiance . The food was blend I had to request for hot sauce which was very good I had the chicharrón and the pickled onions made it better however at the end I ordered a drink that was my second one and after I started drinking I found an insect in the glass ( unsure of what it was I rather not think about it ) what really upset me is when my waitress who was unable ask her co worker what happened he simply said not a big deal she will be okay They did take the drink off the bill without me having to ask but honestly it was a turn off also the staff was standing by our table the whole time chit chatting and that was annoying read more

This was first time trying Cuban cuisine it has the most delicious Brunch the appetizers and 2pages of Specialty drinks 9 entrees for Brunch. Beautiful decor and awesome colors made you feel like you had a personal festive experience. They had Valet parking also outside the restaurant that had different themed areas to take pictures. It was something for everyone taste. Whatever you were celebrating you got individual wait staff made everything comes out at the same time. We had a large group and we were very satisfied,no wait time everyone food came at the same time. Definitely come back again. Had an excellent time and the music and total ambiance read more

Absolutely unexpected my girlfriend from childhood who still lives on Long Island recommended we go as a date night . We arrived to valet parking wonderful cocktails and a superb staff. Not let's get to the food the appetizer were ok ... the entrees were where the money is spent as my kids would say ....slamming . My boyfriend had the churrasco and I had their weekly special the Chilean sea bass delicious. Their tres leches was prepared wonderful ; and if this wasn't enough on weekends they gave dj and dancers after 8 . I'm going to hurt tomorrow well worth it . read more

We like this place but a few missteps. Gorgeous day, so we sat outside. Wouldn't have made a difference, they had the doors opened so it would be the same in or out. They have a minor mosquito/fly issue. Maybe some well placed plants that repel bugs would be helpful. Staff is friendly but English seems to a bit of a challenge, we had to point to the menu to order. Food is good and plentiful. Ceviche, some garlic shrimp and the paella cubana were our choice of food. The boys liked the ceviche and the wife said the shrimp were tasty. My paella was good but a bit salty, I think I drank everyone's water lol we all had left overs and finished with the churros with banana ice cream - didn't get a pic of that, it went quick lol read more

This was my first time going here .. they were on my HH list. I went to check it out . Happy hour is Monday - Fri 4-7pm at the bar . Margaritas are 6$(they are strong ) BUT you can't add flavors . If you add a flavor it's regular price when usually it should just be a $1 up charge . Sangria , beer & well drinks are $6 as well! Now when I went I was starving . I check their food out . I liked the calamari it was good just a little salty. I noticed the HH menu quesadilla cubana and the regular menu quesadilla cubana had diff ingredients .. why? That's weird - regardless I got the one I wanted .. ( grilled chicken sweet plantain one )& it was good but I was charged regular price so be careful! ANOTHER THING. A customer paid cash and a processing fee was added to his bill. So I think they may have been robbing people ( the fee is literally a couple cents but it's the principle) & no one should have a processing fee when paying cash . The customer did speak with the manager but that conversation didn't really go anywhere . He just removed the fee from him. Overall if you want a strong quick drink I suggest them.. but they a little sneaky so always ask questions & check your bill before paying! read more

I was really looking forward to visiting this restaurant. I've heard great things about the drinks, the ambiance, the whole experience. We arrived and got seated immediately: score. I knew I wanted the ropa vieja. I get this at every opportunity offered. So, this is where the decline started. Drinks arrived, my classic mojito was solid. It arrived promptly. It wasn't watered down. My senses were heightened. The main dish arrived and after one taste I could tell something was off. The sauce was overpowering the meat lacked flavor. It was very bland which is odd for this dish. Maybe this spot offers a fun night atmosphere but the food wasn't authentic and not worth the price. read more

Came here for lunch. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and the old school cars outside were a nice touch too. It is a very aesthetically pleasing restaurant. We had the tostone rellenos as an appetizer. I had the Cuban quesadilla and my husband had the Cuban churrasco. I enjoyed the food. My husband's churrasco was more medium rare than medium. It was also a little on the chewy side. We've definitely had better skirt steaks before. It was $28.50 for that meal too! The service was good, our waters were replenished in a timely manner. It was pretty busy for a rainy Monday afternoon! I'm curious to see what it's like with a DJ! read more

Literally drove by the place, and we decided to get some Cuban food for dinner. What we did not expect was a show, Saturday night! We arrived, and no one even told us that a show was about to start. So the dancers were fun, energetic and brought the vibe. 2 sets of 30 minutes. Food was mediocre. I'd give it 3 stars, tops. Service was ok, but as in industry person, I did notice A LOT of birthdays and they all had to do the song and dance to those tables, so I get it. Drinks, weak AF. And again, I know what the bartenders 'would' say, "we made it per the recipe". Probably a 1 ounce pour instead of 1.5 or 2 ounces. 4 Stars because of the unexpected show and the dancers brought the vibe. read more

I went her for brunch. The places has a great vibe. Colorful atmosphere and good drinks and even better food. We started with the bottomless mimosas. Though it wasn't on the menu they made Mango Mimosas. I felt that was very accommodating. The entrees were very delish and it was a good size portion. Overall I really enjoyed brunch at the Cuban. I would absolutely do it again soon . read more
