⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This Cuban restaurant is absolutely amazing. From the moment you walk in, you’re wrapped in warmth. The atmosphere is cozy, quaint, and incredibly inviting—filled with rich, warm tones and beautiful photos from Cuba that make you feel like you’ve stepped straight into the heart of the island. If Cuba feels anything like this place, it must be breathtaking.
The energy inside is unmatched. It’s calm, welcoming, and full of life all at the same time. The staff is incredible—so friendly, so genuine—and those Cuban accents? Wow. Aside from being undeniably charming, they add to the authenticity and make the whole experience feel truly real, like you’re dining in an actual Cuban home or café.
The food is spectacular. There are so many great options, and everything we tried was delicious and full of flavor. I haven’t tried the drinks yet, so I can’t speak on that, but based on the food alone, I can only imagine they’re just as impressive.
Overall, we had a wonderful time. This place isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. If you’re looking for authentic Cuban vibes, amazing food, and a warm, unforgettable atmosphere, this is the spot. OK one thing I will say as we were sitting outside and some music would’ve been amazing.js

Had a great dinner here tonight! The building is very clean and well maintained. The atmosphere and music are good with lots of interesting decor. Service was fast and accurate with orders, drink refills, etc. Our server was fast and attentive, but not necessarily friendly nor talkative, but that’s fine as she was great in all the other areas. The food was good. I had wanted two steak dishes that they were apparently out of. Instead I ordered basically the same dish but with chicken. It was cooked well and delicious, but the steak option was what my heart was set on, so it was a little disappointing. Overall good experience and would recommend!

Café Piquet never disappoints, but this visit was truly exceptional thanks to our amazing server, CARLOS. He is absolutely spectacular — attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. Carlos took the time to recommend the best dishes, and every suggestion was spot on.
The plantain soup he recommended was outstanding — rich, comforting, and absolutely delicious. You can tell when a dish is made with care and tradition, and this one was unforgettable.
From the warm atmosphere to the authentic flavors and, most importantly, the excellent service, this was a perfect dining experience. Carlos truly elevates the restaurant with his professionalism and genuine hospitality.
Highly recommend Café Piquet, and if you’re lucky enough to be served by Carlos, you’re in for a treat!

My wife and I used to live near here and would eat here at least once or twice a month, but it’s been years since I’ve been in the area. We really enjoyed the food. I always ordered the ropa vieja, and it was always outstanding. I happened to be back in the area today and decided to give it a try again. The ropa vieja is just as good as I remembered. Truly excellent Cuban cuisine.

A coworker suggested this place and since then, I’ve returned like 4-times. Always do eager to eat my food, I forget to take pics. Everything I’ve had has been authentic and outstanding-staff treats you very well (like family). Highly recommend!!

Atmosphere:
From the outside, it stands out from other establishments in the area due the greenery and architecture of the building. Making your way to the entrance of the building there is a covered patio that has seating for those wanting to eat outdoors. The decor was really neat to see and blends with the architecture outside.
Service:
Upon entry we were seated quickly. The server was helpful in providing recommendations as well providing insight for our food selection. The fact we were assisted by multiple servers was a plus because they were always on top of everything.
Quality:
All of the food we had was so flavorful but unique in their own way. To start off, we had the Beef Empanadas. The amount of crispiness was just right and packed so much flavor. They had two sauces that were to compliment the dish, one tasted like a cilantro based sauce and the other a habanero style. For the main entree, I ordered the Media Noche with the seasoned fries. The sandwich was a great portion and amount of mustard did not over whelm the sandwich, yet complimented it. The fries were seasoned and crisped to perfection. The Ropa Vieja was by far the star of the show. So much flavor in beef and it didnt stop there, the sauce was the perfect pairing for the residual rice.

Although I did not order the Ropa Vieja, after sampling a portion of it, I knew I found my favorite entree on the menu….so far.

There was nooooo flavor or moisture in the pernil, flavorless rice and beans… it tasted like no salt sazon or adobo was present. Who forgot to add the seasonings today I’ve never had flavorless Cuban food. So many people said this place was great. I had better pernil at universal studios

I went with great anticipation but was dissapointed…we were seated (party of 5) in an area where we could not enjoy the atmosphere…de penitencia en una esquina. The croquetas, empanadas and pan cubanos were good…..the yuca was tasteless as was the mojo….the service was poor as it took the meal a long time to be served. The flans had good consistency but we finally agreed that it was probably not made using leche condensada and finally when we got the bill they had added like 4 more desserts than what we had ordered. Love the look, ambiance and history of your restaurant. We were planning to celebrate our father’s birthday there with a party if 25 or so guest but changed our mind…..I am sorry to say…….

We have been coming to Cafe Piquet since it was a hole in the wall place. Food has always been good. This last time we came the food was very disappointing. The croquetas and empanadas were the best items we had. The masitas del Puerto didn’t taste fresh and was dry. The special of that day which was supposed to be grilled pork (fajita style, which isn’t cuban) was under-seasoned and very greasy. The vaca frita was overly greasy and also under-seasoned. We driver here from the Woodlands but, I dont think we will be coming back. FYI….service is ALWAYS GREAT!
