Not the best Cuban food I’ve had, but when I didn’t want to drive far, it satisfied the craving. The ropa vieja was delicious, the plantains not sweet enough but still okay, and the potato balls were good. Service was amazing, which gave the whole visit a lift.

All good, still second banana though…
Filete de Pollo (that’s what I know it as, chicken breast, onions and garlic), white rice and beans, sweet fried plantains…all very good, but for my money nothing beats El Floradita in Hollywood.
The Cuban Sandwich I’ve had here and that IS excellent.
Mojo (garlic sauce) is a bit more thin than I am accustomed to.
Albert was excellent…friendly and on top of it.

A great place to enjoy authentic Cuban food.
El Criollo Cubano serves delicious traditional dishes — the ropa vieja, picadillo, and lechón asado are very good. The atmosphere is relaxed, perfect for a quiet dinner and a refreshing mojito. Friendly service and genuine flavors make it a highly recommended spot for anyone who loves Caribbean cuisine. Nice music

This is not my first time. I was here pre- pandemic when they had dj nights and live bands. But it was my first time post pandemic. At the moment, they are not hosting dj nights or live bands. But it’s ok because we came for some mojitos. We found out it was buy 2 for the price of one. I ordered a coconut and mango mojito. It was delicious. The second one was even better. I love Cuban food. I grew up eating it in my town back in NJ. I ordered a shrimp al ajillo with congrí (black beans and rice combined) with maduros. It was yummy. We had some yucca fries, flan, espresso, rabo encendido with white rice and black beans. I loved the food. I also love the atmosphere. Order ahead if you’re impatient. We took our time with our drinks and meals. We were treated well. I hope to be back before I have to go back home to Ohio.

It was a cute restaurant, very chill, dimly lit, clean. The staff were incredibly nice and attentive. The food was pretty good! Portions not bad. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. Tables were clean and clear. We didn’t have to wait too long to be served. All in all, I recommend you check it out. 🙂

Great food. Great service. The owners father William is such a gem. Great conversation and so welcoming. Worth coming to enjoy the delicious food and Great bar. Service is not rushed. They give you time to drink your spirit conversate and just a no rush relaxing atmosphere. The best part they cater!

I’ve tried to come 3 different times and days and they’re always closed despite being listed as open. Not sure if they’re just permanently closed?

Qué sabroso! The food here is amazing, the service spectacular and the hospitality wonderful. We felt like we were eating a home-cooked meal because the food and generosity was filled with love. We shared the ropa vieja with white rice and beans, and plantains, and the pechuga de pollo a la plancha (with mojo de ajo – a garlic sauce!) with Moro rice and plantains. I also had a glass of the Cabernet Sauvignon which was really good for a house wine! We got to meet the cook who was so sweet. We’ll definitely be back again!

Really lovely old couple, great sandwich (cubano) and fries, great service. Lovely size meal.

Service was good, food was good, but did not measure up to the taste of typical cuban fare with the exception of the Tamal. It was very tasty even though it was light on the meat filling. Restaurant was not very busy which I am assuming the latest surge in Covid cases has something to due with this, which I am also assuming had an affect on the over quality. I will return once the pandemic is under control.
