Great Cuban restaurant! Sandwiches were very generous in size and delicious. Service was friendly . We found this place through YELP when we went to Temecula recently for a photo tour. We ordered a King Cuban and a Pan Con Bistec (steak sandwich), both were filled with meat and delicious. We especially love the steak sandwich, the meat was of high quality and not chewy. The potato chips were crunchy and tasty. We loved the food and will return whenever we come to Temecula. Due to time limitations, we had our food to-go, we will definitely try other Cuban dishes next time in the restaurant. read more

I have been wanting to try this place everytime I see it after leaving Black Market brewing. I am always too full from pizza and Beer or too tired. Well I happen to be in Temecula mid day and finally decided to come in. I am so glad I did. My only regret is that I did not stop in sooner. This place is as authentic as it gets when coming to Cuban food. I should know beczuse I grew up eating the best Cuban food cooked by my Mom, Aunts and Uncles. My mom is from Cuba and I actually called her after eating here. I told her the food tastes just like when she used to cook it. I went with the Cuban Chicken Fricassee (or fricase de pollo) It was amazing! Just like I remember. I need to come back and try all the dishes now. If you want to experience real Cuban food, look no further , this place is it. read more

Come here for the food and friendly service from a Mom and Pop family proud restaurant. It is absolutely not a huge chain ran place. Small and quaint sums it up. It has beautiful murals and artwork to admire while you wait for your food, but I highly recommend grabbing and an outside table or to go. I've had Cuban in different states in the US, Cuban food in Florida is always #1 for me, but this place is sooo very close. We got the Chicharron plate and Oxtail plate, both were amazingly delicious, it would be hard to not get these plates each time we come now and I guarantee we will be back. Oxtail was perfectly cooked, just tender enough, a little bite of fat and tendon chew. Amazing turmeric and olive salty flavors that just blended so well. Chicharron was heaven! Or maybe the opposite? It was sinful to eat, the crunch, the fat, the saltiness plus a little vinegar tang. I cannot be near this place, my heart will not be able to handle it! Food was just amazing. You will see why they have such high ratings. read more

The Cuban sandwich is good although it could have used more mustard and the pork could be more flavorful. The Arroz Con Pollo is okay, although the rice is greasy and wasn't very flavorful. I also had the guava and cream cheese pastries and it was very disappointing. There was hardly any of the guava or cream cheese in the pastry for the money I paid. However, the white bean soup is amazing. It is very flavorful and delicious. I liked that most of all the food I ordered. The service was exceptional. The owner's son is friendly, kind and nice with all his customers. I really appreciate his hospitality and service. The restaurant is clean, and the atmosphere is nice too. All in all, the only thing that I can think of is that they make their food more flavorful and tasty. I would recommend the Cuban Hut. read more

100% Cuban as advertised. Perfect spot for authentic Cuban food. This place is owned and operated by Cuban family. They serve many varieties of Cuban sandwiches and some plate combinations. They offer specials of the day too. I highly recommend their sandwiches after tasting chicken, beef, and pork sandwich. All came with Cuban style fries and spicy sauce that accompanied the sandwiches very well. The meets in the sandwiches were very well prepared/cooked and tasted great. If you are looking for authentic Cuban sandwich, great atmosphere and service then look no further. I highly recommend this place and will come back for more sandwiches! read more

Run! Don't walk! This place is absolute FIRE! I've never had cuban food before and this place definitely sets the bar high for any other place I'll ever try. I didnt get a chance to take a pic of the beef empanada and papas rellenos because once I put them in my mouth it was game over. I ate them so fast that I had to make sure I didn't eat the wrapper along with it. Seriously so delicious! Like a damn flavor bomb exploded on your taste buds. Owner was chill as hell and kept bringing out samples of things i'll defintely order in the future. It's like eating at your grandma's house with all that good homecookin. Make sure to bring a driver with you cuz you'll be in a coma from all that good cuban food! Recommend 100/10!! read more

First time here, great experience! The day before I ate at Porto's and honestly, the Cuban Hut edges them out. Sure, Porto's has tasty food and great service, but they don't have Dusty (owner) or fried snapper or succulent ox tail. We tried some pastry too. Not a big selection, but they rock their guava tarts. The guava generously oozes as you bite it! Winchester exit off the 15 has new meaning, Cuban Hut! read more

The Cuban Hut GETS DOWN in the kitchen and I'm picky asf!!! I walked in asked if they got Cuban sandwiches - pops pointed to his shirt and said check it. LOL. I'm telling you - that Cuban sandwich has me in a COMA right now. The portions are huge and comes with chips and a special sauce on the side that made me the happiest I've been in 10 years. I live 45min-1hr away and I will forsure need to drive at least once a week to get me one of these. ITS THAT GOOD. I'd show you a picture but I ate under 3 min..... read more

Absolutely phenomenal experience!From the moment my husband and I walked in to The Cuban Hut, we were treated like family--genuine, warm, and attentive in a way that's rare to find these days. The customer service was beyond exceptional; every staff member made us feel so welcomed and cared for. And the food? To die for. I had the oxtail for lunch and it was melt-in-your-mouth delicious--authentic Cuban flavors prepared with love and perfection. We couldn't stop raving about it the entire meal. This was more than just lunch; it was an experience. We'll absolutely be coming back again and again. It truly doesn't get better than this. read more

Awesome food owners great they were really busy and he handled orders so well and quick Good music too read more

If it would have had more/thicker pickles this sandwich would have been absolute perfection! I almost went back in to get some and will definitely order it that way next time. I've had The Cuban Hut bookmarked forever and finally grabbed it yesterday when I was in the area. I ordered online via GrubHub (I had some GrubHub cash to spend woohoo!) When I arrived it was ready and waiting for me. The restaurant was super quiet (around 5pm so it was an off time). I ordered the standard cuban sandwich since I needed something I could eat quickly in my car. I want to come back to try some of their other cuban dishes though. I've talked to so many people in Temecula that tell me this is a favorite and I totally see why! read more

If you're looking for some tasty Cuban food and cozy family friendly environment in Temecula, try @thecubanhut Everything we tried was delicious. The garlic shrimp plate was my favorite next to their empanadas. I normally think empanadas are too much breading and not enough filling, but these were EXCEPTIONAL. The ham and cheese was my fav + their house sauce The chicken plate was fall off the bone and melt in your mouth tender and the soup was flavorful and perfect for a rainy day. The steak sandwich was packed full of meat Of course we ended with dessert. Sugar Cane Churros with filled with a light custard. read more

This is genuinely the best service I have ever received at a restaurant. It really is the best for a reason. As soon as me and my friends walked in we were greeted with such care and kindness. We told the workers that it was our first time there and without even having to ask the workers gave us a rundown of what was in the menu and what they had to offer. What really stood out to me was when he told us that we could order anything from the menu and get it refunded if we didn't lend up liking it. Later on he even gave us a free sample of the garbanzo beans with pork and it was amazing full of flavors. I ended up getting the oxtail which was the most tender meat I've ever had, along with the rice and plantain that was so flavorful and had an amazing texture like non other. Everything from the ambience along with the music was amazing and top notch service. The workers there were all incredibly nice people and make you feel right at home. I could go on for hours talking but I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a good Hispanic food place and wants to support small family businesses in Temecula, truly one of the best you will find here!!!!!!! read more

This was my second time going to Cuban Hut. The first time the food was good but every single person that was working there seemed like they were annoyed that anyone walked in. It was one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. The girl looked upset at me and didn't even say hi or welcome me. I order- the food was good and I left. Today I come back and the same thing. No greeting, no acknowledgment, everyone looks angry. There is an old man at the counter texting for about 30 seconds before he says anything to me. I look at the menu on the wall and was about to take a photo of it so I could sit down and choose what I wanted. The owners father (allegedly) hands me a physical menu. I order and the price of what I order is $15.99 for one of the items on the menu. He added up the totals for everything and it seemed high so I asked for a receipt. After looking at the receipt I told the owners father (allegedly) that the price he charged me was $17.99 for this one item. I actually didn't look at the other items but I assume all the prices were inaccurate. He said that the physical menu is the old menu with incorrect prices. I said then you need to honor the price because you never told me these prices were incorrect. After going back and forth he admitted he made a mistake but he would not honor the price. I told him that's bad business and he said it's okay because "they are still doing good." As a business owner myself, I honor any mistakes I make. This was honestly one of the most ridiculous experiences ive ever had at a business. The man I spoke to said he was a "slave" and that I should have asked him if the menu was old. Had I not asked for a receipt, which I never do, I would have never known all the prices were jacked up. I don't know if they are intentionally trying to scam people but that's what it felt like. There was no apology and he made it seem like i did something wrong. I told him to throw these menus away but he said no because people needed them? Then scratch out the old prices. Nothing was getting through to this man. I walked out without my food, without a refund and will be disputing it with my bank. It's not about the money - it's about the principle. They lost a client over a few dollars. I will never go back. Don't let these people steal from you. read more

These chicken empanadas are everything!!! And the papi sauce is tasty. Def recommend

Having been born in Cuba and growing up all my life eating Cuban food I struggle trying to find good Cuban food in the Inland Empire. Today my daughter and son-in-law invited my wife and I to have lunch with them at "The Cuban Hut". The staff were great but the food was even better. I tried there Bistec Con Salsita which is the same as Bistec Palomilla with onions, it came with the traditional white rice, black beans (Beans were excellent) and the fried plantains (could have had 3 plantains but still really good). I also tried my wife's Masitas de Puerco. It was really good as well. It was great to finally find a very good Cuban restaurant. The owner brought me a Cuban coffee espresso which was great! read more

Ordered to go for lunch and the food was good and prepared fast. Potato balls were a tad burnt but still had decent flavor and the sandwich was good too. BUT come on man!This was so disappointing to open and see. Spending $35 on food to get one sauce cup with just a taste. Don't be so cheap. read more

Tried this place again, as it's been a while since my initial visit. Some time has passed, so I wouldn't be able to compare the food from before. Takeout is my main method of dining nowadays for obvious reasons. I placed an order online for pickup during opening hours on a weekend morning. When I walked in to pick up the order, the front of house staff refused to speak to me; only pointed to the pickup counter. I tried to ask and clarify that the bag sitting on the counter was under my name, and still not a verbal word from the staff, just kept pointing to the counter and went back to entertaining indoor diners in the corner. Don't know whether this had to do with me being the only person in the establishment wearing a mask** (I glanced at the kitchen staff who were also maskless). Whatever, no plans on coming back. As for the food: at any Cuban place, I tend to go for a Medianoche sandwich, which is what I ordered, along with plantains. They were good. A shame the business interaction (or lackthereof) overshadowed the flavor. Tldr; food was all right, but if I really wanted to order again, I'd probably resort to delivery and avoid the nonexistent service. 2.25 **At the time of this visit, the indoor mask mandate was in effect. read more

The Cuban Hut - Medianoche - Cuban Near Me - Temecula, California

Ordered the #6 Medanoche (Night Club Special). I selected it because the menu listed it on egg bread and I wanted to try egg bread-but my bread looked just like the #1 The Cuban. The NCP sandwich included seasoned shredded beef and ham with melted swiss cheese, along with homemade chips. The hot sauce may be to someone elses linking as it was HOT. The bread was (just right) crispy crust with soft inside. My guest ordered Lechon which is seasoned pork over rice with black beans. The pork and beans were good tasting. Staff was friendly. Although we arrived 1 hour before closing the staff stayed to serve us and more customers were eager to come in to eat. Very small space for the number of people dining there, but good food brings many customers. read more
