The portions are huge. The Cuban was great. I found the pork plate to be a little plain, the pork needed some garlic or mojo flavor. The ropa vieja sells out early because it's the best dish and is amazing so call early to make sure they have it! read more

Very good food, casual dine in or carry out restaurant. Great Cubans and rice. Would recommend. read more

Woo! That was a tasty meal! The decor is nice. The atmosphere is comfortable. The service comes with a smile. I had a tamales cubanos and the ropa vejia with arroz & grandules. All I can say is if you haven't had a cuban tamale before, this will reset your expectations. That was delicious! And that beef was so juicy and flavorful. It paired great with the rice. This was the best meal I've eaten all week here. Will definitely return! read more

Great service: the man, I think he's the owner, and a young girl, they were both so nice. We ordered beef empanadas, the pork kan kan, and the carne guisada. Everything came out to be $65. Expensive but it was also so delicious, that when we received the food, we just ate it. LOL didn't bother to take photos. Next time! We tried to go back on Sunday, but they were closed. read more

The bad: The servers did not speak English and it made ordering extremely difficult. Our order came out wrong. My food was super fatty I couldn't eat it. The steak was dry. The good: The plantains were good. The yucca cheese balls were good. Inside was bare minimum which I don't mind if the food is good. Which it wasn't. I went home still hungry. read more

I found this place on yelp when I was looking for Cuban food in PCB. This place stood out to me because it's rated considerably higher than most other restaurants around here! My husband got the trifongo and I got the roast lechon, Congri, and Maduros. We loved every bite. This is officially on the list for places to eat when we vacation here. read more

Boricuba Cafe - Roast Pork, Congri, Maduros - Puerto Rican Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

Great hidden gem in PCB. Authentic cuban and Puerto Rican food. Menu options are limited but hit the core plates with excellent flavor. Prices and service are 5 stars. read more

Boricuba Cafe wasn't as enjoyable as we had hoped unfortunately. Staff was very friendly, music was good but waitress forgetful on two things we ordered and this broke our meal timing up which annoys me every time. For example who wants to eat their hot off the grill Cuban Sandwich with out the Fries they also ordered. After reminding our waitress, the fries took 10 minutes to cook and by that time my sandwich was half gone. Cuban sandwich was also lacking the island flavor I am used to. The fried pork ribs and rice were good but the rice was a little dry. My wives coconut flan was too thick for me but my wife said it was very good. We won't be back which is a shame we were excited to come here after reading the reviews. read more

What a wonderful place! I googled coffee shop and then this came up. Walked in and got super confused because it's a cafe/diner. The lady patiently waited for us to figure out what we wanted to do so we decided to just sit and order coffee. She left us the menu and we saw pastries and well ..... This was a happy accident. They have fantastic coffee. Cafe con leche and cortadito, strong and sweet. We got flan, cheesy puff balls which I don't know what the actual name is and a guava pastry. Everything was really great. Thanks Google. Even though you really screwed up, we will give you a pass. This place is a gem. read more

Went based on Yelp reviews but wasn't all that :( we ordered skirt steak hard to cut. The picana was cook too much. The black beans were good and the red beans. The plantains were soft and tasty. The shrimp dish didn't hit at all. Bummer because I kicked the place and my party wasn't impressed. They were busy with to go orders so maybe it's a local favorite. read more

Excellent service and amazing food. Large portions and everything was prepared fresh. If you're looking for something different from the monotonous beach menus, this is the place! read more

Just had lunch here Had yellow rice with pigeon peas, steak sandwich Amazing food and service was fantastic. Have been here a couple of times. Wil return next time on the areas read more

I've been coming here for a while, this place is definitely a hole in the wall hidden Gem. The food is awesome, reasonably priced, and the serving size will last you for lunch/ Dinner. Folks that do not know Spanish might have some trouble communicating but this is every Hispanics wish to the PCB area... a little diversity. Servers are super nice and patient. read more

Wonderful Cuban restaurant with quality ingredients and exceptional taste. We searched all over PCB looking for a good Cuban Sandwich and happed upon Boricuba Cafe. Excellent find. Their bread, meats, sauce was automatic and tasty. Their menu was filled with options for various tastes and desires. Service was great and the restaurant was spotless. Decor was nice and artwork on walls highlighted Cuba. Also - consider trying one of their 6 juices. Highly recommend. read more

Portions are small for the money not very friendly and not a lot to choose from there was a sour smell coming from bathroom

Terrible food they fry their food in old oil and their steak is overcooked. Its not a fully Boriqua cuisine they are seating the the boricuba for a reason read more

You know you are in an authentic Cuban and Puerto Rico restaurant when English is not the first language spoken here. Don't let the modest look of the cafe fool you, the food is amazing here, especially the fried and pulled pork. We truly enjoyed our meals and will definitely be back next time in town. read more

Ordered a Cuban because I know I like them and didn't really know what everything on the menu was. Wow! Maybe the best Cuban sandwich I have ever had! So big I am taking half home. It was just crunchy enough and the pork was so good. The flavors all blended well. Ordered it without mustard. Highly recommend! read more

Picture this: 2 middle aged women drove all night (8 hours), already tired, waiting on their room to be ready - go to the beach... then... hunger strikes. Start perusing google for recommendations for Puerto Rican or Hispanic food. We find Boricuba and am I glad we did! I'm a true geek when it comes to a Cuban sandwich. I love a great Cuban, and I can only count on one hand having a great Cuban. Well, this place... definitely a decent Cuban sandwich. The plantains were spot on, and the crème cilantro sauce - is a must have - and I'm not a cilantro fan, AT ALL. We arrived as the doors opened (11am) and by the time we had our food (20-25min) the entire restaurant was full. This place will fill up fast - but SO worth the wait! If you want authentic Cuban/Puerto Rican food - this is your place! Cheers! read more

Went on a Wednesday at noon. It's a little hole-in-the-wall joint in a strip mall. The servers were great at explaining menu items and giving recommendations. Husband loved the Cuban sandwich. I got the masitas with rice with red beans. We also tried the sweet plantains, but I wish we'd gotten the regular ones. Had a nice creamy cilantro dipping sauce. It was fun too try something new. They did have chicken nuggets and fries, though no kids menu. 3.5 stars rounded up. read more

Taste good but the Mac and cheese is not what I expected Shrimp curry. I am happy with the taste but I'm from Louisiana so I would have loaded this with more sauce over the rice and peas. Also the Mac and Cheese is not what I expected. It is good but it is not Mac and cheese read more

Boricuba Cafe - Calamari and bammy - Puerto Rican Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

We eat here every time we come to PCB. Our favorites are the Boricuba platter with maduros and flan. The chuletas are just like my madraste makes! Great comfort food for the price that the whole family enjoys. Take your time as this is a small restaurant; service takes a while as the food is fresh and homemade. read more

I'm Puertorican living in the states for awhile. Excited when I found this place! I ordered rice, beans and pasteles (meat pies). My order was take out and received clump/sticky rice, under- seasoned beans (habichuelas) and pasteles that no puertorican could not construe as a pastel. Seasonal cuisine. It was a fried dough clump with something in it. I didn't eat it. Not a language barrier - spoke to them in Spanish. Very disappointing and have not returned. Pricey to meet expectations.​ read more

Excellent. Everything we had was delicious. The cortaditos were perfect. Arroz con gandules was delicious. The Cuban sandwich is amazing. Everything was cooked to perfection and fresh. We would go back time and time again when visiting this area. I cannot recommend it enough. The staff was very kind too. read more

This place was AMAZING, loved the food, taste, and service. I ordered the Macitas and would 10/10 recommend. My husband had the Cuban sandwich and was a little disappointed on the ratio, there were a lot of meat and cheese and pickles shoved in but the sauces were lacking and caused it to be a bit dry on each bite. Would recommend to add more mustard/cheese/mayo. The ham croquettas were also pretty delicious! Masking is being used but a little lax, seating is limited as the restaurant is not that large. Loved the ambiance and music/music videos playing. Reminded me of being back in Puerto Rico. read more

AMAZING PORK CHOPS JUST SAYING !!!!! I'm headed there now to order again!!! love love love this place!!!

Amazing flavor and amazing people !! Love it ! Please try guys ... we were so happy to find good Hispanic food .

This place got excellent reviews on yelp, but I didn't think it was all that good (Which is a shame because I REALLY wanted to fall in love with this place.) I thought the Mofongo was just decent. Wasn't the worst I've had but certainly not the best. The shrimp was seasoned well. That's really the saving grace here. Maybe they just had an off day in the kitchen. Next time I'm back in Florida I'll have to give this place another shot since other Yelpers rave about this place. But as of right now, I just don't see it. -_- read more

tried calling to order some of they're breakfast to give it a try only to be met with a lady on the phone who told me she didn't speak English and bye-bye, then proceeded to hang up. I called back to try to get a hold of maybe a manager or somebody else so I could ask about the food or maybe possibly order the food over the phone only to be met yet again by the same lady and she refuses to get anyone else for me perceives to hang up again. I called the third time because the third time is the charm Only this time to be met with her being extremely rude over the phone Because I'm calling the place of business to order some food I won't be trying this place nor will I recommend it to anyone the staff is very rude. Very disrespectful. read more

Come out of Just Jump and have a lovely coffee. We are addicted to their ham croquettes washed down with a Cortadito. Cortadito coffee has originated in Cuba. I Cortado means to cut so a Cortadito is basically milk "cutting" the espresso. This Cuban coffee is essentially sweetened espresso mixed with steamed or condensed milk. read more

Fantastic spot!!! Food was just excellent. Very fresh and authentic. Friendly service. We were visiting PCB on vacation and this is the best food we had the entire trip. If you've ever been to Puerto Rico and enjoyed the food, you will like this place. read more
