Little Cuba

This is one of those hole in a wall kinda place. I give it 3.5 stars cause I've had better Cuban food before. Atlanta might not have as many good Cuban food options but there are plenty of them better than this. We ordered ropa vieja and pollo asado. Both came with either white or yellow rice and had maduros on the side. I've had better plantains but they weren't bad at all. Ropa vieja was a bit too dry for the taste. We were the only ones there so the service wasn't bad by any means. Love the atmosphere and the culture the place has.

We ate here a lot before the pandemic started and always enjoyed it. Saw it on DoorDash and had to order it again. I ordered the Bistec Palomilla with yellow rice and black beans as sides. Also ordered a cheese and spinach empanada to go with it. The order arrived quickly, complete and packaged well for delivery. The steak was cooked perfectly whereas the edges had a nice crisp but center had a nice tender chew to it. The seasoning on the steak, combined with the cool pico de Gallo combined for an excellent entree. The yellow rice was basic yet delicious (cooked perfectly) and in my opinion only, the black beans are some of the best in town. Excellent empanada topped it off well Will certainly be ordering from here again.

I ordered a steak and I would have felt ashamed serving someone what I was served. My steak was literally as thick as 3 credit cards stack together. I felt cheated, but I remained silent in gratitude for having a meal. That being said, I will never return to this establishment. It was under new management and they are renaming it soon.

I absolutely love this place especially since they’ve added vegan options! Theres a young lady with glasses who wears her hair in a ponytail at the front desk. she’s so kind and very informative with the menu. She never forgets utensils, packages my order very well and always has a sense of urgency! The food is great but when the front desk person is awesome it’s a plus!

Unfortunately this place is under new management, and they are no longer making things in a real Cuban way. :( (Not even in a real Caribbean way. 😢) This has been my go-to Cuban place for the last 10 years, but now I will just have to fly to Miami to eat at Molinas. The Cuban sandwich has mayonnaise… so, so sad about this. They no longer have the Medianoche or beefsteak empanizado/encebollado. They are using yellow rice, like a Mexican restaurant, instead of white like real Cuban restaurants. The beef empanadas do not have egg or olives. 😳 And the beans do not even have bay leaves or onions, the beans here were always the best. Unfortunately this is now an American restaurant with Cuban inspiration, bet definitely not Cuban or Caribbean. Now to start the search for an authentic Cuban restaurant again, hopefully there is a new one around as I am not a fan of Papi’s because it’s also an American restaurant with Cuban inspiration. So very sad about this. (This review comes from a Puerto Rican person and a person from Miami.)
