Cuba Cuba Sandwicheria

Slow roasted pork plate with rice and beans was great. We ordered a side of plantains and garlic fries. Bring breath mints but well worth it. Fabulous cuban food and at good prices. Please come to Phoenix.

Empenadas are good, especially during lunchtime when they come out super hot and greasy! Not to mention, crispy.
Pollo alla plancha, pollo wrap, vaca Frita and sweet plantains.
The food is always delicious. Sometimes, with the wraps and sandwiches they will forget an ingredient, which stinks… Because when they come as the menu says, it’s amazing, if it’s missing something it’s just good.
Cheap!!! Fast!!! Sweet.

I picked up lunch for a large group (10 people) and the restaurant was very friendly, very service oriented. It’s a cute place in a strip shopping center in DTC. The service is fast. Our group of 10 enjoyed their lunch. I had a Cuban sandwich which was delicious, maybe not as good as in Florida, but pretty darn close. I would definitely go back. I noticed they had beer and soft drinks but not sure if they have wine. They have a lot of tables, from 2 – 6 people, but you could pull them together for more people. There is also some outdoor seating, and groups were outside on this gorgeous January day!

I arrived here by chance after visiting a friend in the area. I would recommend a visit to Cuba Cuba. Excellent food and friendly atmosphere. My pick was pan con lechon sandwich and fries. It was worth it! but I’m more hooked on the fries. its was flavorful and so crispy. I wanted to try the plantain but the greasy look is a turn off.

If you like the flavor of leftover pork… then this place might be for you! There is no reason a restaurant cannot make fresh pork everyday!!! And the «jarred» garlic on the Cuban fries was overpowering and I love garlic… fresh is always best. I don’t see what the hype is about… I say skip this place.

Awesome Cuban Chicken sandwiches. The ingredients mesh together so well and sandwiches are paired with their tasty fries. Definitley worth checking this place out!

I stopped in with my sister for a late lunch (around 2:45pm) on a Saturday and found the place to be pretty quiet, but not dead.
I debated between the mahi tempura sandwich and the veggie wrap, but just made my sister get one or the other, so I could try both! Muahaha.
The mahi tempura sandwich consisted of mahi tempura, slaw, and a slightly spicy habanero aioli on whole grain ciabatta. The mahi was very crispy was complemented well with the slaw and the fluffy, yet crunchy ciabatta bread. I did notice that it tasted a bit salty (?), though. Maybe it was the aioli.
The veggie wrap was served in a soft flour tortilla with white rice and beans, greens, cucumbers, other veggies, sweet plantains, and habanero aioli. It was actually like a mini burrito, but was unique because it was sweet and slightly spicy at the same time. I personally thought the sweet plantains were a great addition to all of the flavors in the wrap, but my sister thought it was weird — she pulled the sweet plantains out. The wrap was served with plantain chips (they don’t taste like anything), and slaw, which I didn’t really care for.
I liked the wrap better, but my sister liked the sandwich better. I only liked the wrap better because the mahi tempura was too oily for my liking, but that’s just me.
A note: both, my sister and I, we’re full after eating half of the mahi sandwich, but wanted to try the wrap fresh, so forcefully ate the wrap at that sitting. Bad idea. We were so full, we didn’t even eat dinner that night! So, portions = large.
The interior was open and fairly clean. The music that was playing made me feel like I was at a bar at a beach — it made me want to dance! The service was okay, nothing spectacular, but your encounter with the guy taking orders is short. The food was also prepared and served fairly quickly (around 10 minutes).
I may be back to try some of their desserts at some point!

I want to give this place 5 stars. It just wasn’t quite «totally crush me and blow me away» level. BUT… it was damn impressive for my 1^st time at this location.
Spent 10+ minutes hemming and hawing about various choices and finally ended up getting what my friend got: the Cubano and the sweet plantains. The sweet plantains are close enough to bananas you could potentially get em confused and no one would blame you for them. They’re amazing fried/​grilled up… I think they might be even better with a dash of cinnamon over them… but maybe that wouldn’t be authentic. Better warm than cold (saved in fridge as a snack for later), but they’re still pretty tasty cold.
The Cubano is amazing and my 1 wish would be for maybe 20% more filling ingredients? I have no grousing with the preparation, the ingredients themselves or the bread. I spoke with the staff and apparently they fly the super thin, flaky bread (it’s like flake pastry, almost) in from Miami. Bread from Miami… I’d think they could manufacture that locally… but maybe Miami just has it down to a science and it’s affordable. I took ½ to said friend’s house and had it halfway through a marathon Game of Thrones sesh, and it was just as good slightly cool as it was fresh off the grill, so be advise, snackers. :) Definitely one of my favorite new (for me) discoveries this year. Also, the Cuban music in the background makes for a nice setting to enjoy your food.

Easy access from I-​25, CubaCuba serves up traditional Cuban fair. The Cubano is made from processed pork sandwich meat instead of slow roasted pork. The mahi sandwich is nicely spiced with their slaw, the Mahi lightly breaded and flakey. The fried plantains were delicious. A nice place for a lunch that’s fast yet a little different. Enjoy the Cuban music while sitting out on their nice patio.

For DTC, this place is phenomenal. Compared to Cuban fare I’ve had before (mostly in NYC), it is about average.
— The sweet plantains were delicious. Nice crunch and perfectly sweet
— The pulled pork was ok. Adding extra garlic and hot sauce made it pretty good
— The black beans were pretty flavorless
— The white rice (I wish they had traditional yellow) was also ok. Some flavor, but nothing special

As this being my 1^st Cuban restaurant, I have nothing to compare the food to. I enjoyed the unique flavor of the sandwich, and the staff was friendly.

Recently went back with Groupon (worth it) and had dinner for 3 to include dessert and coffee!
We’ve tried there: empanadas, pork, steaks plates, aboth desserts and aavacado dip and fries, chicken sandwich, drinks … Worth it!

First trip was great. Cute shop that is clean with festive décor. Pan con lechon sandwich was shredded pork with pickled cabbage in a soft bolillo for $ 8. We also tried the Cubano for $ 7.50 which was good but not the best I have had but was still pretty good except it was not crispy (too moist). We had Cuban fries which are shoestring fries coated in a garlic olive oil sauce.yummy. We also had a tres leeches which they do in a cupcake like form but it was delicious. The barista also knew how to make a good cotta ditto which is espresso with condensed milk. I would def come back.

Slow roasted pork, ay ay ay eeeholay!
I do love this place and crave it often. The plantains (all varieties, chips, sweet, etc.) are so comforting and satisfying. I have not sampled the other items on the menu besides the Lechon Plate (hold the beans add veggie slaw instead please) and the Ensalada Cubana beacuse, well. I’m addicted to slow roasted pulled pork of course!
My only small beef with this place is how crowded it gets at lunch, so many times you can to stalk and wait over people to get their table. Also, whenever I order a to-​go Ensalada Cubana, the crispy pork portion is tiny. C’mon people, didn’t I say I am addicted to the pork!

Solid solid place. I ordered the Cuban sandwich with sweet plantains for lunch. Service was friendly and quick, considering the lunch rush. Cuban was good, but not great. I did like the «Cuban bread», that was different than I have had. The sweet plantains on the other hand were AMAZING! Very very good.
I would eat here again, no question. I would likely recommend it as well.
A five star to me is a «can’t miss» place.

I’ve been to a few of their locations and this is a great lunch spot! You can get in and out pretty fast and the food is damn good. I can vouch for the Pan Con Lechon and the Pan Con Bistec. Both were tasty and full of fresh flavor. The meats are cooked well and mixed well with the other toppings on the sandwich.
I can only assume Fidel Castro would be pleased with the quality of the food here! I have no plans to visit Cuba anytime soon but that could change if this is any indication of the quality of food in Cuba.

Love this place!
We found Cuba Cuba on accident one day when we were heading over to Illegal Petes (which is another awesome place).
I like everything about the food here. There is a variety of sandwiches, wraps and plates that makes it easy for all types of people to find something they like. The lechon sandwich is my favorite! The flavors are just perfect. Also, the fries are skinny and crispy and very delicious. They also have a great reweards program that I have taken advantage of several times now.
My only complaint about this place is the size of the resturant. It is very small and it fills up quickly at lunch time.

We came by for a quick dinner and I had the Chicken Plate and Hubs had the Pork Plate. Both come with the same garlic mojo sauce which is good and very garlicky. Surprisingly, I found the chicken better than the pork. The pork was kind of dry. We asked for a couple sides of chimichurri to try and that was delicious. If you come in again, I think Hubs will definitely opt for the steak plate with chimichurri.
It was HH (3 – 6), so we had a couple mojitos ($ 2 off) and an order of the fried plantains (all sides are ½ off during HH). The mojitos were actually pretty good. I thought my soda was a bit flat but otherwise, they weren’t too sweet. The fried plantains were OK. I don’t think I’d order them again.

Had a Groupon for 4 and went with my family for dinner on Sunday. We seated ourselves right away. They don’t really come to your table to get the order. We got a menu, decided what we wanted and went to the counter to order.
The ordering was quick and the staff was very friendly. We got the Mojitos (which were very refreshing), the lechon plate, the pan de bistec, lechon wrap, pollo asado plate, and tostones, Cuban fries and sweet plantains as sides.
Everything was very well made, brought to our tables quickly and very, very YUMMY!
We loved all the entrees and the sides. We then ordered a kid’s plate of fish and fries and it was HUGE! Again, very well made.
We then decided to end this great meal with the tres leches cake and cortaditos. A great end to a very delicious meal!
The staff was very friendly and efficient. Loved the décor, especially the murals (see my pictures) and the lamps (made from Bustelo Coffee Cans).
Will be coming back again soon! :-)

It’s very possible that I ordered wrong… I got the sandwich combination… Which is half a sandwich + 2 sides. I had the Cuban sandwich with Cuban fries and plaintain chips… And everything was SO greasy! I felt kinda nauseous after eating it… I barely touched the fries bc it was just too much…
BUT my coworkers got the steak plate and chicken plate and they both enjoyed their food! The fried plaintains were also pretty darn delicious.
So next time, I would order the steak plate with a side of fried plaintains. So yes… I’m more than willing to give this place another try. It was sooooo fast too! Our food came out in minutes. Perfect for people who work in DTC and only have a short time for lunch. SO easy and fast to pick up to go!
But I warned ya! Don’t bother getting the fries… Plantain chips were just okay too… Pick different sides if you’re getting the sandwich combo! I highly recommend the fried plantains!
