    Beautiful place that you shouldn't miss even if you're not crazy about south/middle American food. Get the guava shoulder and the raisin chorrizo empanadas.

    La Cubana, coming from the owners of Delux on Ossington, is clean and bright, with diner stools and 1950s-Cuba-inspired snacks, sandwiches and desserts. A welcome addition.

    First time here and it won't be my last. Great ambiance/atmosphere, friendly staff too! Got the grilled fish sandwich, yum! Also the milk & cookies was a cute dessert. A must to try

    First time here and for sure not the last. Enjoyed pressed cubano sandwich and guava short-rib bbq medianoche (a bit too hot for my taste). And coffee, of course. It is 100% Cubano coffee! Good!

    I have read many reviews. I have been twice and both times have been great. Is it "authentic" Cuban?, No. But the food is really tasty and is a nice treat. Staff have been amazing too!! Go find out!

    Bring a lot of cash, everything from the appetizers to the desserts & espresso is good. Cod croquette, chorizo/pork belly/pulled pork sandwiches were really good, Cuban corn on the side is phenomenal

    Fantastic Cuban food, mostly sandwiches. Can't go wrong with the pork belly or the short rib medianoche. Cocktail specials on weekdays at lunch.

    Delicious brunch! Be ready to wait a bit for a table, it gets packed. There's a great used books and records store across the street to check out while waiting.

    Pork belly sandwich is awesome. The empanadas are really good but over priced at $7 for 1. Overall great staff and service. One issue they have a fruit fly problem

    Good food! Get the cubana sandwich. But they don't serve the normal menu on the weekends (brunch menu)

    The short rib dish is "oh my goodness" delicious and worth having a salad at lunch just to make sure you have room for dinner.

    The service is nice, the root beer is flat and sour and it is not a good veg/vegan option at all. Kids love the French toast!

    If you find a piece of conch in the conch fritters, you are deserving of a prize; buy a lottery ticket!
