Allen Arcade: Get the Carnaval Cubano. It has shredded beef, fried pork chunks (carnitas) and round roast stuffed with sausage. Flanked by yuca with garlic sauce and congri (mixed rice with ham bits).
Emilyphant Valencia: My favorite is the cubano sandwich!
Allen Arcade: The La Rumba has shredded beef, oven roasted pork and Cuban ground beef (OMG good) with your choice of sides. Lots of food and some unique flavors.

Tom Adams: The Cubano Sandwich proves that you can have quality and quantity. Also the lunchtime cocktails are a great mistake.
Odo: The tenderloin is amazing, in the top 20 steaks in America according to Squire Mag, authentic Latin American cuisine, the angel wings are extremely good as well. Full review... Read more.
Van N: An extra $12 will get endless mimosas, mojitos, margaritas & bloody marys with the Sunday Brunch

Mauro L: The Cubano is excellent!
Joshua Winata: The truffled egg salad on the glorious crusty-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside pretzel bun is a revelatory gourmet twist on a classic. Also their refreshing strawberry mintade is my new fave drink.
Eater: At over $10, the sandwiches may seem pricey, but they utilize high quality ingredients and come with two excellent sides; it makes for a filling lunch or a satisfying light dinner.
Brian Knobloch: The Original or Super Original is all you need. Keep it simple and tasty
Derrick Smith: Best Texas Cheese. Steak in Houston!
Allen Arcade: This isn't one of the "original" chain of Antones. As a result, they have other Cajun-esque dishes like fried oysters, gumbo, and other hot dishes.
Chad Bowen: Chile Relleno Burger! So messy, so perfect!
Kenneth Ware Jr.: If the weather permits, eat outside on the patio. The lunch specials are reasonably priced, and the cheesecake was the bomb.com! Lemonade lovers will enjoy the strawberry lemonade (free refills).
Warren Harold: Try the cheesecake.

Cynthia Price: Yummy! The lamb is so tender and delicious. Great atmosphere.
Tatiana Pauwels: They have new Croquetas on the menu... I'm totally addicted!!!
Jenn: Love, love this place. The gazpacho soup is a cold soup - great for summer. Order the ahi tuna salad. The service is impeccable and Pedro, the owner, is also a wonderful sommelier.
