Reviews
Let’s start with the bread, because it deserves center stage. Cuban bread is not easy to get right outside of Florida, but Caribe nails it. The loaf is beautifully fresh—light and airy inside with just the right crisp on the outside once pressed. It’s the foundation of a proper Cuban sandwich, and here it shines.
Speaking of the Cuban sandwich, it’s simply outstanding. Layered with tender roast pork, savory ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard, all pressed together in that perfectly toasted bread, it’s balanced, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. Having lived in Florida, I’ve eaten my share of Cubans, and I can confidently say this is the best one I’ve had since leaving the Sunshine State. Every bite hits that perfect harmony of salty, tangy, and savory that makes the sandwich a classic.
The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with the kind of friendly energy that makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. Much of that warmth comes from Mario, who made the experience exceptional from start to finish. Mario’s hospitality is genuine and enthusiastic—he greets guests with a smile, checks in thoughtfully, and clearly takes pride in both the food and the customer experience. It’s the kind of service that turns a good meal into a memorable visit.
After that sandwich, I half expected someone to start playing dominoes in the corner and arguing about baseball in Spanish. That’s when you know the flavors are authentic.
In short, Caribe Cuban Café is a hidden gem in Lexington. Between the outstanding Cuban sandwich, the perfectly fresh bread, and Mario’s welcoming presence, it’s a place that captures the spirit of Cuban comfort food beautifully. If you’re craving a taste of Miami in South Carolina, this is the spot.
Hola Mario, gracias por el excelente servicio durante mi visita a Caribe Cuban Café. Tu amabilidad, atención y genuino entusiasmo hicieron que la experiencia fuera realmente memorable. La excelente comida estuvo a la altura de tu hospitalidad, lo que hizo que la visita fuera aún mejor. Realmente aprecio el esmero que pusieron en hacer que los huéspedes se sintieran bienvenidos.
The portions were large and we all ended up with leftovers. Given the portion size, I think the prices are really reasonable.
The staff was friendly and very helpful. They took time to explain dishes with which we were unfamiliar.
The dining area is large and the tables nicely spaced so you don’t feel like you’re sitting on top of the person at the table next to you. They have several large tables so you can seat a large party.
The food itself was good, albeit not quite up there with the Florida local options but again, happy to see it, and may very well return soon!
The night I went they also had live music.
Really nice atmosphere inside, and everyone was super friendly.
Definitely will be returning!
