Cuba Cuba Cafe & Bar

tasty and unusual food that we enjoyed trying. Our server Jenna was hospitable and helped us navigate the unfamiliar ingredients on the menu. I highly recommend the fried plantain appetizer.

We want on a Friday night and the inside was cozy and comfortable.

As someone who lived in Miami for 8 years, I was thrilled to have Cuban food walking distance from my house! The food was a great quality and the vibes were perfect. Cuba Cuba is in an old house and so fun. The patio looks awesome on a nice summer afternoon.

We enjoyed everything but the mojitos and croquettes were the stars of the show! I wasn't a huge fan of the empanada pastry but the filling was incredible. I would highly recommend Cuba Cuba for anyone in town craving some Cuban and other Latin food!

Update to 2 stars. The food did finally arrive-- around 1130pm. Mind you, we ordered it at 8pm. Bumping up a star since it did end up arriving...

Original review:
It doesn't matter how good this place is... 1 star will have to be my rating due to never receiving the order. I don't give many one star reviews but here's one of them.

I'll just complain now about the experience as a whole. And the fact that I despise food delivery apps in general. We are staying with a friend and he opted to order from here using Postmates. If up to me, I would just go pick up my food to avoid these situations.

2 hours later, no food. We called the restaurant 3 times. The person on the phone passed the issue off as a problem with the driver and even if that was the case, it's ultimately still on the restaurant. So the restaurant has terrible customer service when dealing with issues. He suggested we call postmates and get a refund. Duh!

That still doesn't make dinner appear. It's too late now to get food elsewhere. Just an absolute mess and ruined my night. Well 1 star it is. I hate to write reviews like this, but sometimes they happen.

5/5! I can't believe I've never been here before. The spot is tucked away, near Denver Health off of Speer. And this is a great spot to go for a date or to catch up with friends. There is a huge drink menu ft. mojitos, daiquiris, margaritas, sangria, wine, beer - really anything you could want. They also have a variety of Cuban coffees. If you've never had a Cuban coffee, it is a small cup that will kick in the butt and it is just the best ever! For those that are nonalcoholic, they have lemonade and Cuban sodas.

The food was heavenly and the experience was made even better by our extremely personable server. For apps- Don't skip on the plantain chips or the mojo fries. The garlic butter sauce is heavenly! I was with a group of five, and we ordered most of the entrées and shared. Everything was equally delicious! You can't go wrong here.

As soon as we left, I was left planning my next visit, and wondering when we could come again!

Weary from our travels, we stumbled to Cuba Cuba on a frigid cold evening and found a wonderful warm inviting spot we want to visit again. I ordered the Vaca Frita and thought it was amazing. Great place!

Just ate there last night for a date night. The vibe is still romantic and fun. It's been around for a while and the quality is still good. The wait time between being seated and being served is a bit long, and the table seated after us got served first, but everyone was friendly and attentive overall. The food was very garlicky, which we love, but wanted to give a heads up to those who are not big garlic fans.
I got the vaca frito and he got the paella. Mine came with sautéed onions with the meat, rice and beans, and plantains. The black beans lacked flavor. They needed salt. The beef also lacked a punch, but I ordered it with a side chimichurri which was very flavorful! His paella was over cooked. All the meat in it was dry or rubbery, but the flavor was good. Drinks were lovely.

In Denver for a short visit. Cuba Cuba was recommended by the hotel bartender. It was in walking distance so a great option. So glad it was recommended. Incredible staff, adorable location & exterior/interior, unique drinks & the best Cuban food I've had! Will return the next visit to Denver!

I ordered a meal to be delivered from this establishment. I was excited to try them! Very quickly after my order I received a text stated my order had been delivered. Strange, but I still checked outside my door no deliver. Waited a bit checked again... the delivery never showed up.
I called the restaurant and the person who answered literally said to me "So? Why are you calling here? What do expect me to do!!?" she was short tempered and EXTREMELY rude. I wouldn't know if the food is good but I know the service is horrible! I am still waiting for my full refund! I have never experienced service at a restaurant this poor. Sad because there aren't many places where I can get Cuban cuisine. Oh well I won't be going to this restaurant!

Service and drinks were phenomenal here. Tori our bartender made us delicious pineapple drinks. Very kind and helpful. The ambiance is fun, great music playing and the food was delicious.

My first time dining here was a great experience! I loved the decor and lively ambiance on a Friday night. My vegetariano entree ($21) was delicious, and I loved the medley and the side of tostones. It is a LOT of avocado, but I didn't mind saving half of this filling dish to take home.

My coconut water was refreshing. We also had a few appetizers, and tore through the mariquitas Cuba Cuba plantain chips and dips ($10). The empanadas ($3.50 each) are small, so it's easy to start your meal with one. I wish they had more filling inside, but they were flavorful! My hongo y manchego empanada was so tasty that I forgot to take a photo. I snapped one of my friend's steak empanada instead.

My husband said the camarones al coco ($29) was good, but he wouldn't go back for it. He preferred our friend's churrasco con chimichurri ($28), a steak and fries dish.

The main complaint at our table came from our buddy, who was pretty disappointed with his Cubano ($18). It sounds like the bread may have been stale before they pressed it? He said it was hard.
