“ Service, food and ambiance were simply outstanding! Going there today and have been dreaming of this place since my first visit. ”
“ My co-workers and I visited this place on a work trip. Food was sooooo delicious! The Cafe BomBom is still on my mind. I ordered the Bistek De Res and it was the BEST meal I had in Arizona. Service was special because the owner was the one who helped us. He told us about the origins of Cubanitas Kitchen. My experience was extra special because I realize the love and sweat and hard hard work that went into this place. Ambiance was chill. We got a table just in time. There were 8 of us, so we had to wait for a table to open up. Space and seating are limited, but it's worth the wait!!! If you can, try to eat there. Take out will be just as delicious, but my bistek was fresh off the grill and my cafe just dripped. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!! ”
“ I haven't been to Cubanitas Kitchen since April. This time around I brought two of my friends with me. I was a little confused when I walked into the new restaurant. I was greeted by the owner Angel and he told me they had moved a little over a month ago. The "new " restaurant is bigger, more modern , and has beautiful bar as you walk through the seating area. We were taken care by our waiter Francis. What a great guy. Besides taking care of our food needs, he gave of a history lesson about Cuba. We all had the Sandwich Cubano with french fries. A slab of roast pork, ham and swiss cheese with pickles and mustard. Empenada de Picadillo/Ground Beef Empenada. An order of Maduro Frito/Sweet Plantain. The meal was great. The fries are a little dry for my palet but loved everything else. I have to make my appearance a little more frequent to Cubanitas Kitchen. ”
“ We love supporting this family owned and operated businesses! The food is always delicious, you can tell they cook form the heart. The service is like no other, so friendly and makes guests feel like they're home. Love the new space and location with the outdoor area to people watch! Highly recommend! The cocktails were delicious! ”
“ We just visited Cubanitas new location on Glendale Ave. and it did not disappoint. I have had food in Floridas Little Havana and this place would fit right in (very authentic). The Cuban sandwich is the bomb and the highlight of the meal. The stuffed potato is a must try and the steak platter was solid. My only recommendation would be to change the fries to crinkle cut instead of shoestring. The atmosphere is lively and our server was great. Even the draft beers are huge and cold. Overall I highly recommend you go out of your way to try Cubanitas. You will not be sorry! David "FIMP" B Food Is My Passion ”
“ Yep. Still the best Cuban food in AZ! New location that is much bigger and gives that Cuban party vibe! Food excellent still and they have alcohol now too. Right in downtown Glendale. ”
“ Whoa! I found the taste of Miami right here in Phoenix. We had the coquette with potato and beef that was light and fluffy and the beef lightly seasoned. The yucca was incredibly crisp and the insides were fluffy. the plantains were not overly sweet but very pleasant. The cubano sandwich was plentiful with moist ham and the bread was delicious. The staff was efficient and very friendly. They helped with questions of all things Cuban. This is a very small establishment and few tables. Also, there is no bathroom facilities. Parking is plentiful. Next time we will take it to go and enjoy a nearby park. This place is GREAT! Oh, and try the flan. Totally smooth with no air bubbles. ”
“ Omg this was such a cute small restaurant! The color and painting on the wall was so welcoming. And the food was pretty authentic! I'm from Tampa, FL and the cuban cigars and food are very popular there and this restaurant really hit the spot and reminds me of that-Tampa-feeling. The food was so delicious that my partner and I completely finished our plates, and we still talk about these dishes that I posted below. And forsure you know that there food is fresh because they will cook it right in the front where you order your food. I definitely recommend everyone to check out this little hole in the wall. Lastly get their guava shake too that was amazing!!! ”
“ What I like about this place is their relatively small menu which means they can just focus on making good food rather than making a large variety of mediocre food. I tried out their steak sandwich and mango milkshake. The mango milkshake was quite delicious. Although the steak sandwich was pretty big, there was way more bread than actual ingredients. Wish there was less bread and more steak, lettuce, and tomatoes. The fries were also of above average quality. Service was friendly throughout. It's a nice mom 'n pop shop for sure. ”
