Cubanitas takes you back in time to Cuba, when it took time to make an authentic Ropa Vieja. The flavors are well balanced and presentation is superb. No matter if you are a fan of yellow or white rice or black or red beans, they got it all. Definitely try the plantain chips with guacamole. Highly recommended options are sandwiches, after you try entrees of course.

Cubanitas is an excellent choice for anyone in the downtown Milwaukee area. This Cuban-themed restaurant has excellent service and delicious food. It is located in a great location downtown, within walking distance the river. One perk to this place is they are open for lunch and dinner, unlike many nearby restaurants which are only open for dinner. Cubanitas has a wide selection of Cuban-themed sandwiches, salads, bowls, and entrees. Vegan/vegetarian options are also available. We tried the Cuban pork sandwich and the veggie Havana bowl which were both flavorful and filling! The ambiance of the restaurant is very colorful and family friendly. Prices are reasonable for the area. Highly recommend!

All star food and excellent drinks. This place rocks. Key lime pie is maybe better then the stuff in Florida and I’ll defend that

Delicious, highly recommend.
Would love to go back next time I’m in Milwaukee. The empanadas were a big highlight for me, very very good.
I wish I ordered more of the cuban empanadas; crispy, yet soft with a evenly balanced flavored filling.
Overall, had a large menu, many options to choose from.
The plantain platter was a good choice for my first time but ultimately the plantain chips are the best, especially with the guacamole.
Croquettes were good, unique in that the inside was mixed together nicely, almost pureed verses chopped.
Ambiance was okay, not plain but not overly decorated. I will definitely be going for the food not the place.
Buon Appetito, Piatto Pulito

My buddy and I stopped in after realizing we weren’t dressed for the pizza place next door, and ended up happier with this decision. We split a Plantain sampler and each order a Cubano sandwich. Every was incredible, but the mojo sauce that came with the Plantains was next level.

The Cuban sandwich was on point. The beans taste like Mexican beans nothing wrong with that but not what I was expecting. And the white rice taste like Chinese food rice. Bro I know Cuban food. I’m not going to say it’s bad but again not what I was expecting. Excellent service. Service gets 5 stars. Cuban gets 5 stars. Pork asado 5 stars. Rice and beans get 2 stars.

I ordered the Macita bowl and it was so good. The happy hour special for mojitos was also a win. Great beverages.

This place rocks. Everything was fantastic. I would recommend literally any of the premade bowls, but the macita bowl was my favorite. If you’re into cocktails, the mojitos are absolutely wild (I mean, I was a quarter into mine and was already feeling it), they taste amazing too! I really enjoyed the colorful and tastefully worn in ambiance.
Parking in the area is rough, not the restaurants fault but if you make a reservation be sure to show up early enough to walk if you need to.
