All around good restaurant. Great customer service. Great food and great atmosphere. The owners were so friendly and welcoming and the food came out so fresh. You can tell it was prepared with quality ingredients, love and care! Was my first visit and had to write a review. Definitely won’t be my last time here. Thank you Cesar.

We loved the lechon sandwhich 5/5 had a nice garlic flavor if you love that. The jibarito was a 4/5 we wished the plataine was a bit under seasoned but still good rice was good as well 4/5. Empanadas were a solid 5 good flavors as well as the sauces. Yuka fries 3/5 we wished they were a bit more crispy. Overall place was a solid 4 stars ill be back!

My boyfriend and I stopped for lunch here today for the first time. Such a cute, cozy place with great food and great service. I highly recommend the Cubanito Express sandwich! The salsas, empanadas, and cafe con leche were very good as well. We will definitely be visiting more often.

A friend and I decided it was time to eat some lunch, and we both had never been to the Cubanito Express, but we both agreed – a Cuban sandwich on a Saturday afternoon sounded delightful! We arrived, the first thing i noticed were a set of conga drums, i took that as a welcoming sign.

Thank you, Brenda for making my first visit a 10/10 experience. Brenda recommended a new item on the menu (La Mexicana) and I ordered it with a side of mango habanero sauce. What a killer combo, the spiciness compliments the sandwich and helps simulate your appetite allowing you to get lost in the sauce and flavor of the food.

Jackie is absolutely adorable. She does her job with lots of integrity and has great customer service skills! She goes above and beyond to make sure customers are completely satisfied. Today we ordered two Cuban sandwiches and the black bean soup. The food was delicious as usual. Highly recommend! We enjoy lunch every time we order here. Thanks Cubanito Express! 🙂

Very welcoming atmosphere. Your business definitely feels appreciated here. Brenda provides some of the best customer service in the industry. I’ve tried at least 5 different sandwiches. I’ve been happy with every selection. The fries, milkshakes, and iced coffee are great too. Been here multiple times, never had a bad experience. Great for catering as well. Good to see the owners on a regular basis putting in hard work.

This Cuban restaurant is amazing! I haven’t had a sandwich from here that I didn’t love. Their food is authentic Cuban food and drinks that are always flavorful. The staff is consistently friendly, and Brenda is especially nice. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone that enjoys delicious food.

Wish I would’ve took a picture before we digged in. Tried a couple empanadas, the guava was the perfect little sweet treat. Ropa vieja was nice and moist. Lechón is more dry than the ropa vieja yet súper súper soft and tasty. Ham & spinach empanada & fries were a hit with my toddler. Rice was perfectly seasoned. Cubano sandwich was fresh and a must try. Overall everything was delicious & staff & owner were super welcoming & attentive.
