Being from Miami and finding great Cuban food in Broward is hard. This restaurant has mastered the taste of authentic Cuban food. I’ve been a customer for a while and the food has always been on point. The owner is always a pleasure to speak with and the services is great. Before you go somewhere else and be disappointed, come to this place, you won’t regret it. Steak with onions, pork chunks, and a Cuban sandwich.
We stopped in to have a bite while in Hollywood for the Big Smoke and Whiskey fest. Little did we know we had stumbled into one of the best Cuban Restaurants we’ve ever been to. The food was amazing but so was the hospitality!! We were made to feel so welcomed. Ended up spending a couple of hours there enjoying great food and wonderful company. Ended the meal with Cuban coffee ☕️ delicious!! If you’re in the area you must stop in and enjoy!!
Seriously, such a wonderful place. My husband saw this place and this place had great reviews, so we decided to try it out. The food was really delicious and fresh. The vibe was relaxing and the owner and staff were really nice and down to earth. Definitely coming again. Oxtail was super tender and savory.
I have returned to the place for the second time, and again they have impressed me, José the owner has treated us like family, Tania Despite being well occupied, she gave us a first class treatment, incomparable the quality of the food, its price and the treatment received ... great place, great team and good food! what else to ask for!
Very very very great food three of us got different food BUT it was awesome food chicken (soft) best I’ve had other than my mom’s fried chicken. Wife’s pork steak awesome!!! My fried beef awesome. Side’s we’re more then we could eat black beans rice yuca etc. Come extra hungry! I wish they were in Illinois
We were traveling from Miami to Palm Beach and didn’t want to get stuck in Little Havana traffic so we found this particular Little Cuban Cafe. It’s very casual and affordable, but the food is authentic and the restaurant is clean and aesthetically inviting. We really liked the cortadito and the steak sandwich . The Cubano Supreme was filling. I like their platanos and the desserts. I love the rice pudding too. My husband is spoiled because his sister makes flan and tres leche but he liked the desserts here. The ladies here were really nice and friendly. We will definitely make this a regular stop on our way from Orlando to Miami.
Delicious!!! They literally treat you like family the moment you walk in. My mom and I always come here for breakfast and lunch. The place is extremely clean and the portions are huge! (Photo below is half of a sandwich... literally huge and delicious) I was hungry and ate the first half before the photo lol
OH MY GOODNESS IT WAS SO GOOD! After having read the reviews for all Cuban restaurants in Miami/FLL, I knew Little Cuban Cafe was the one I had to go to. From being greeted upon entry with the biggest masked smiles, to the excellent and most attentive service, it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. My server, she was amazing and had the best recommendations for what dishes to consider. After having chosen her recommendation of the Carne con Papas, I knew I made the right choice coming here! It’s too bad I live 1000miles away, cause I’d be coming here every day for lunch just like I saw so many others doing! The owner was super friendly as well. And the Croquettes....Dios mío....I can die happy now after having had them fresh and hot! The rice was made perfectly, the beans were plentiful and warm, and the plantains were cooked to perfection and sweet as ever! I don’t have any cons about the dish I tried, cause there are no downsides to dining in heaven!Thank you so much Little Cuban Cafe, you have made a huge impression on me and I can’t wait to try your next dish! All the best to you and your team.Aaron
Best Cuban Steak sandwich outside of Cuba!!! I am Cuban, and this is not an exaggeration. Have been coming here for 4 years and it only gets better! Staff and owner treats you like family. Entire menu is also great but the steak sandwich pan con bistec takes the cake, cherry, and everything else!
The staff is amazing, super friendly, the empanadas on the other hand are lacking that unique sabor that would make them addicting. Instead the empanadas are bland and greasy, I threw half of mine in the street, for the birds. I ordered a Cuban sandwich with no pickles and it seemed fine, except when I opened it the pickles where inside. Also, they put too much pork in the sandwich, the ratio was off - sometimes less is more. They gave me my money back and wanted to make it right, Im just not so forgiving.Too bad, I really wanted it to be great, it being near a gas station and all.
The food was good and the owner is a real gentleman. We enjoyed the food today. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because of the waitresses (I did not want to penalize such a good guy over unskilled employees). They looked miserable & their service was equally miserable and subpar. They were not attentive & would grunt like a hog whenever we asked for basic things, you know... like a spoon. They were rushing us & took it upon themselves to not even ask about the check split or anything. They just made assumptions for us and gave us an attitude when we had them correct the check split. Perhaps the waitresses there should work as security guards or some other job where having a personality & pleasant attitude isnt required.
Great place .great service and most important extremely clean environmentThanks and keep the good work
Always great food very friendly associates & the owners are really nice people always come out to say hello & see how everything is. Weve been eating there for years since they started out small in the convenience store & now theyve grown into their own restaurant. I would recommend anybody who wants good cuban food to go there.
Amazing food! From the ribeye, ropaVieja, ox tail. The breakfast combos. Everything was to die for. The service was great as well. The owner himself very attentive. Great place!
This is the best Cuban food we had during our family vacation in Southern Florida. The pork chunk has so much flavors and tasty that we came back couple days later to get more. Their white rice is amazing too and in a way better than our own jasmine white rice. Hands down the best food we had during our vacation in Florida. The owner was great and friendly just like their staff.
I had dinner with my family at Little Cuban Cafe and the food was great! I’m Cuban and I know how good Cuban food should be. The food at Little Cuban Cafe was very authentic and delicious. I had the Vaca Frita, the sazón was perfect almost as good as my mom makes! The owner and his family were very hospitable. He stopped by our table to ask how the food was. It was a very nice experience. I highly recommend Little Cuban Cafe and I will definitely be going back again!
They are so nice and friendly! The food is some of the best I’ve ever had in my entire life!!! My friend turned 18 today and they went out to find a whole cake for her and sang happy birthday! Seriously some of the best people I’ve ever met. A great environment!
Wow! What an amazing and special experience my boyfriend and I had here... We were welcomed by the most kind and friendly owners and the food is so authentic and delicious! Great for right after you land in Fort Lauderdale, as it is 10 minutes from the airport! What a great find. We will definitely be stopping by again!
My friend told me about this place and honestly they didnt disappoint. The food was amazing. And the service was topnotch! 👍👍
Amazing service great food and great prices need I say more
OMG this food is amazing. Had to cheat on keto because they had those amazing guava pastries. Coffee was magical. On top of everything it was the least expensive meal Ive had on my vacation. Loved it!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐BIG PORTIONS FRESH FOOD! I WILL ALWAYS BRING MY FAMILY HERE FOR THE BEST CUBAN FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!! YOU DO NOT WANT TO SKIP THIS PLACE!!!! THEY ARE RATED #1 ON TRIP ADVISOR AND #8 IN THE UNITED STATES FOR CUBAN FOOD ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best pan con bistec in the area.Friendly service and the food comes out fast. Very good spot for lunch and the staff is efficient. It makes you feel at home
Great Cuban food with great service and reasonable priced. What more could anyone ask for? Cleanliness? Yep! Highly recommend the medianoche (midnight sandwich).
Thank you NeryYou are always on top of your game.Fast service 😃
My family of 10 just arrived in Florida on vacation and gave this place a try based on the reviews and there arent enough star to give this place!! The food was incredible, and despite the large size of our party it was ready quick. The staff was so friendly and helped is understand the menu items. Even the mojito is the best ever. Our only disappointment is that we are not staying closer to this place to eat here every day!!!
Great little place for delicious authentic cuban food! We are from Miami so our standards are pretty high for Cuban food and this place didn’t disappoint! The owners were on the floor serving and chatting with guests. Very nice, friendly people. They were telling us their personal story of how they came from Cuba on a raft! So great to be able to support local businesses that provide an overall great experience.
Great people. Service was awesome. Food was better!!!
If you’re looking for a good cuban restaurant. Good food, quiet, and relaxing vibe. This is the place.I fell in love with this restaurant and will continue coming.
I was dozing off this morning after dropping my wife off at work. I decided to stop in here to get a Cuban coffee and a Cuban sandwich. Although my server was gorgeous, she seemed unhappy to be there. Now I have lived most of my youth in Miami, where you can get a decent Cuban sandwich just about anywhere. The sandwich I got here was NOT edible. I asked for it extra toasted which it was not, and pork was SATURATED in oil, very salty. When I picked it up to take the first bite it was sitting in the grease from the pork, I squeezed the sandwich and it literally poured oil like out of small nozzled bottle. I was very dissatisfied and disappointed . Needless to say, I will not be returning.
Love this place! Theyre food is really good. The people are very nice and theyre really fast! I recommend this place to everyone who has not tried it.
Little 🇨🇺 n coffee house clean and good service
Awesome and delicious place to eat. Would recommend 10/10. I’m definitely coming back again when I come back to Florida. Workers there are nice, friendly and helpful.
I love it…, I love the food selection, freshness and taste. I loved the cleanliness and smile at the entrance, the owner Jose is amazing person and very friendly.The whole atmosphere in the dining room was like a big family. The prices are definitely reasonable. Definitely recommended.It is a culinary experience for the whole family.
Love this place. Friendly staff that are always welcoming. Best Cuban food around! I always stop here to get coffee for the office.
Such an amazing place!!! Phenomenal food and unbeatable service. Best Cuban food in Miami. Will definitely repeat!
Great little place - a little hard to see, right next door to a popular Greek restaurant. Im not Cuban but if I were this would be food like my mom would have made - huge portions and delicious. Make sure you get a banana shake. Great service and an owner that cares about quality.
This place has great service,Nery was very good I feel better than home!!!Recommended to anyone looking for great food!!!!This is not a 5 Star is 6 Star
A fantastic place for dinner. Spoke to the owner about his families incredible journey on a raft from Cuba. We ate, we drank, we shared stories, then we drank Cuban coffee. Outstanding family owned business!
First time coming to this place.Cuban sandwich is the one to get. The pulled pork (instead of dry sliced pork other people use) is flavorful that blends well with the cheese and pickles. Im sad I didnt get more pickles.Also got the pulled pork with sides and it was just as delicious.I regret not getting a dessert.Staff was friendly and in point.Edit: There are plenty of Pickles on the sandwich. I personally should of asked for more.
This was the best hospitality I’ve had out in Florida. The owners greeted us as soon as we walked in the dad and son told us the history of the restaurant and attended to our table so we’ll made us feel at home. So beautiful. We are from Boston and I wanted to show my friends some good Cuban good. What a successful outcome!!! The owner even got her a cake for her birthday because we stayed close by and visit every day here
Always the best service, food, people, music…. The owners are always there to greet. Feels like I’m eating with family. I eat here a few times a week it’s so good!
I have to say IT WAS GREAT! AMAZING FOOD! AMAZING SERVICE THANKS!
I wanted authentic Cuban food last week and found Little Cuban Cafe in Dania beach. I ordered Moro with Yuka and grilled chicken. All I can say is that I was full and extremely happy since the food is FANTASTIC! Service was great, friendly staff and great location. I had the pleasure to meet the owner who came over to check on me. He was super sweet and hooked me up with the best coffee ever. The Coffee is a must try you will be awake for a week :)
The food was delicious...service extraordinary....Jose is a delight.... I will always come back and spend some coins here. Im from Georgia and I loved the experience....
I ate here a few times for lunch, always tasty empanadas. 1 time my order was mixed up but they were very apologetic. Nice people, try them.
My friend and we’re searching for a great Cuban sandwich and we’re MORE than happy that we arrived there! We ended up get the steak Cuban sandwich and now it’s the next morning and I want to eat it ASAP! It was very delicious! The food came out quickly and the service was all across the board wonderful! They even taught us about Cuban food & culture, which I was surprised by! It was a very reasonable price for such amazing food, don’t miss out, their menu is fantastic!!!!
Best Cuban food Ive ever eaten in my life! Superb customer service and rich, quality food. Wed just come from the beach and decided wed make a special trip to the Little Cuban Cafe. We felt like we were part of the family. Of all of the states Ive traveled and lived, no one other than my own family has ever treated me to such specific care and attention as does here. We ate a Cuban sandwich, beef empanadas, shredded beef with rice and black beans with a side of plantains. Until today, our daughter had never eaten a plantain. Were grateful for this place and very pleased with the food. As we sat, we were visited several times. Our glasses never reached the bottom and every family member of the owners spoke with us. This. This is what American culture should be like. This is great dining with great pricing. Personally, I think its worth the drive from anywhere.
This place is amazing, excellent food, great service. Best colada in the whole town. If you want to try the best Cuban food this is the place you have been looking for!!!!!
Loved this place . Great food and very clean and prices were very good ! I highly recommend this place and I will keep coming ! 👌
The grilled chicken with onions had no soy. The fried items did have soy though. The flan was not too sweet, delicious and had no soy.
Happy and Positive vibes meet you at the door of this cozy place. The girls are always happy and eager to serve you. Cortaditos and cheese pastelitos are GREAT😋
I really recommend this place the service is excellent and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. They are very attentive about everything. We ordered the Cuban supreme and it was delicious. Best Cuban sandwich I have tried in a long time.
My cuban sandwich here was very good. The only reason its not 5 stars was because the bread was extra crispy. The flavors of the meats and everything inside were tasty and delicious, still enjoyed my food. A less harder bread wouldve have made even more enjoyable for me. Service was wonderful. Definitely still a good 4.5 out of 5 star restaurant worth dining at again.
We just came here for dinner for the first time. The food and service were both EXCELLENT. We live in Naples but will definitely be back when we are in town.
We stop for a late lunch after work after finding on yelp. Delicious food cuban food and great service. Owners was there that day and was very pleasant and friendly. Family owned business. Great Staff.

Amazing steak sandwich and even better tostones!! Fast, clean and close to FLL. Bathrooms were very clean.
Little Cuban cafe was delicious! Croquette sandwich was amazing and so was the cafe con leche! Service was great and ambiance was perfect! Our server Nery was kind and personable! We will be back soon! Highly recommend!
Fantastic Cuban sandwich- I highly recommend! The Cuban toast with cheese and butter was delicious too, a filling choice for a meatless option.Skip the fries & black rice and order the plantains, they are great also.

I loved this small restaurant. The food was great & reasonably priced. The service was great. I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone looking for good Cuban food.
Good place to eat. Thank y’all for your food and service.
Roberto and Jose were amazing hosts. The food was awesome and the environment was great. This is a MUST for anyone who likes great food and service. And don’t forget to top off your meal with the famous Cuban coffee. Enjoy it!
This place was amazing. It’s my first stop right after my flight. The food is SUPER amazing and the customer service is beyond 5 stars. Highly recommend
I only get Cuban coffee and toast. I loved the way the owners wife use to make it. I was sad to hear she was no longer able to work. Also, Robert and his sister are no longer working the family business. The current staff was very friendly, but no habla Ingles for a some.
Very delicious food! We recently visited from NW FLORIDA and ate at this location on 2 occasions! Would highly recommend everyone to stop in and try some very delicious food! Hope to visit again soon!
