    Fun spot! Came here after I went to the dentist lol! Figured I would just grab a coffee. I've never had Cuban food before. I am so glad that the people that were already eating there told me how good it was! I ended up ordering the oxtail, Puerto Rican and Cuban Tamales. The oxtail came with rice and beans and I got a iced coffee. Everything was great! I want to try their garlic shrimp next time. I was not expecting there to be as good as flavor as there was! Everything was really good the coffee was lightly cinnamon flavor. My favorite was the Cuban Tamales. Definitely getting those moving forward from here. Great job and cool people! If you're there you can meet Poppy the owner! He is hilarious and super fun and you can hear that Cuban accent sounds like Andy Garcia :-) I also really enjoyed the music that they have playing it's very lively and even a couple was dancing

    Papa Rellana Empanadas Pastelito

    OMG my new favorite place! I got the Ropa Vieja empanada with the mojo sauce and it's soooooo delicious! The sauce is my favorite! I wish I could have a huge bottle to myself! The empanada is pretty big and so is the Papa Rellena! I also got a Guava pastelito and let me tell you I could eat 5 The owner is super sweet and welcoming! The service was fast and I got to try the Cuban Split Pea Soup and I loved it! Overall such a great experience with good vibes and great energy with the music and Art murals too 10/10 !

    Number one the Owner super friendly, nice, and very personable. He makes you feel as if he has known you forever. Definitely family vibes when you walk in. Now lets get to the food. We love that it was home made and it felt like I was eating and my Aunts house fresh cuban food. Hot and ready to serve. My favorite thing was the pastelitos de carne. This was the main reason we stopped by to try this place and we came out trying other food and new foods. I highly recommend this place and we will definitely be coming back.

    Walked in on a Friday afternoon, not very busy and was helped immediately. We were also given a small sample of a green potato pork soup, which was delicious. Beans needed salt and my table had no salt/pepper shakers available. Both the lechon and chicharones plates were delicious. Potato balls were small and sadly over fried, but very flavorful. Great Latin music playing in the background. The owner is very friendly. We definitely will come back and try other things on the menu. Potato balls arrived to the table late, so no picture available. Before leaving, we couldn't resist trying one of their homemade pastries. If you haven't tried their guava and cheese pastry, it will not disappoint!

    Recently stopped in to try this hidden Gem. I have to say I'm very happy I did. The food was very flavorful and the ambiance delivered by Gio and the staff was very welcoming. It's a place you want to stop in to enjoy some food and feel at home. I will definitely come back and bring friends. Stop in and have some good food. If you don't like it reach out to me and I'll cover your tab . If you like flavor you will like it here.

    Ropa vieja with congri!

    The moment I walked in, it smelled really good! I tried the ropa vieja with congri and it was delicious. I also got the 1/2 pound of chicharrón and it did not disappoint at all. The portions are good size and quality. I will definitely be returning and trying other items from their menu!

    The shop ordered lunch for the crew today and we landed on Cuban. I got the King Cuban sandwich with fried plantains. All our orders arrived correctly. The sandwich was stuffed with so much meat that was so tasty. The plantains were delicious as well. I would order this again.

    Holy moly... what a find! This place truly is a gem! Let's start off with the pros The food is absolutely insanely delicious! I'm not even being nice enough saying that. I was in awe of the sandwich, soup, and empanada. The service.. don't get me started. The owner is absolutely awesome! This is the type of owner that brings the right type of ambience. This is now one of my fav spots. Highly recommended

    Jas S.

    I ordered the Cuban sandwich and really enjoyed it great flavor and perfectly toasted bread. Next time I might go for the Cuban King to level it up. And the sauce was absolutely amazing!

    Service with a smile. The pix doesn't do the sandwich justice. Absolutely delicious and juicy and flavorful. Can't wait to bring my husband here!

    #1. The Cuban (El Cubano)  Papi's sauce
    Kristina R.

    Ahhhh!! They bottle their amazing sauce and my husband surprised me with a bottle today!! I am so excited to put it on everything. We had to get our staple meal the Cuban sandwich with fresh chips but that wasn't all my husband brought home this time he also bought some of their amazing soup. Our 8 yr old daughter didn't share it besides a taste, so bravo to you getting my daughter to devour vegetables. It had so much meat and such great flavor.

    I was in the area and was craving Cuban food and The Cuban Hut popped up on my Yelp feed. Thank goodness!! I decided to get the Ropa Vieja and it did not disappoint! The plate came with rice, plantains and beans. I was also given a complimentary lentil soup that had bits of pork and it was yummy. The Ropa Vieja was seasoned very well and was complimented greatly with the rice, beans and plantains. The flavors all came together. If I lived in Temecula I would definitely e a regular. A+++

In the past, I've had some really great meals and experiences there, which is why this review is difficult to write. Unfortunately, during my most recent visit to the Clairemont Mesa location, the food quality was noticeably different from what I remembered. Several items tasted stale, cold, and as though they had been reheated. The beans were mushy and lacked flavor, and the plantains seemed old and not freshly prepared. Overall, the meal felt below the standard I had experienced there before. I'm sharing this not to criticize harshly, but because I genuinely remember this restaurant being much better and I hope they can return to the quality and freshness that made the place special in the past. I truly want to see them succeed and improve because there is a lot of potential there.

The maracuya and chicha sour drinks were amazing! Both have sweet profiles but their not over powering. I added Tajin on my rim!

Well, Peruvian Fuego did not reach that. Our waiter and staff was excellent and attentive, which was pleasing. And the patio was nice, although the music was a bit loud. We ordered empanadas and two chickens. The empanadas were tasty. A bit different in texture than what I'm used to, but the filling was nice....beef, onions, raisins. But the chicken? Even though these were supposedly smoked, I smelled only the faintest of smoke. The birds had ZERO juiciness, although they were reasonably tender. I guess I got used to that huge rotating rotisserie at the place I mentioned in Los Angeles with 100 birds going at any time, so what you got was right out of the fire. Here, the chicken tasted it it may have been very lightly smoked and then reheated a day or two later. That may or may not be the case, but It just wasn't special. It was marginally better than El Pollo Loco. Update: 1 day later after being in the fridge, I could taste the smokiness much more prominently. I shredded the remaining chicken (breasts and wings), simmered it in lime juice and chicken brothn to make it tender, and had it in tacos. Delicious! The rice was good. The salads ok--fresh but not really dressed. I didn't like their aji. I'd like to try some other items. They have a nice full Peruvian menu. But all in all, the food I had didn't grab me enough to make me want to come running back.
