Wow! Ended up at this place cause I didn't want to wait 30 plus minutes for another place. I feel like I was destined to eat here. The coffee was amazing, and the food.... delicious. The tres Leche French toast and the brisket breakfast sandwich are a must! The staff was great too. It is a small spot, so only a handful of chairs. But worth the stop. read more

Fantastic coffee and brunch options, very different from typical Waikiki finds. Will definitely make the trek back in to try it again

muchas gracias Luis! What a hidden gem in Waikiki Beach. A must try if you come to Oahu! Their Cortadito is one of the best i've ever tasted, and both of their salad options (beet and potato) melt in your mouth. 10/10 read more

Maybe the best breakfast and coffee we've ever had. Our plates were like art and every combination of bites was delicious. Don't miss it!

I was excited to try a new place and order the Cubano since I normally love those sandwiches. However this one really missed the mark for me. It was weird having it on a baguette (menu says ciabatta) and there were only a few thin slices of pickles. Overall it was pretty underwhelming. read more

This place is an absolute gem. Reasonable prices. Juice was fresh. Food tasted reallllly fresh and presentation was great. I was really impressed. Will eat here again before leaving and come back in future. Loved! read more

Tiny cafe offering flavors that pack a punch! Had breakfast on our first day in Waikiki here. The coffee I ordered -- cafe con leche was delish! Fresh mango juice was great as well. We got the avocado toast, the French toast and the Cuban breakfast. The most unique spin on avocado toast I have eaten.!only gripe the size of the toast was massive! The French toast was loaded with local fruit and was perfect. The sausage in the Cuban was just too good. Give this place a try. read more

I am open minded, but recently discovered some things should not be pickled. Cherries are one of those things. It came as a garnish w a brisket sandwich. While it is described well on the menu it's actually very greasy, so much so it overpowers any other experience they might be trying to convey. I didn't even eat the whole thing. Would not recommend this place based on this experience. read more

Very limited menu however the food was. Wonderful. No wait. Food came out quickly. Indoor/outdoor seating. Very noisey with street traffic and very small cramped space. None the less it was awesome read more

An amazing spot to try. Must get a Cortado! Buttery meats. Pickled veggies on the side go great with sandwiches. read more

Excellent Cubano and Ropa Vieja sandwiches. They aren't fast so don't be in a hurry. It's worth the wait. The hot sauce that comes with the Ropa Vieja sandwich is the bomb! read more

Stopped by for coffee while we waited for Eggs n Things, but we are hoping to come back to eat. The coffee was perfection, you cannot go wrong with Cuban coffee. read more

I ordered a ropa vieja sandwich today. Staff was friendly, got my sandwich in a few minutes and was seated outside. However, when they dropped it off, I literally went back inside to ask if they gave me the wrong sandwich as I have never seen ropa like this. It was sliced meat, not saucy and shredded. The employee said it was 'inspired' by ropa vieja lol. Not sure what that really means since the name means "old clothes" and this looked more like a traditional sliced brisket sandwich. The bread was really, really good! Nice and crusty and toasted. The meat itself was decent and they gave me a large portion. But it just wasn't what I was expecting at all. Maybe I missed it in the menu or description, but it should be clearer that this isn't traditional ropa vieja - I didn't think I'd need to ask. If you're looking for something that is tasty and different in Waikiki, I would say this is probably a good choice. But I walked here for a mile on a slightly sprained ankle craving the ropa I just didn't end up getting. So, I can't give it a perfect rating. Ay! read more

Place is cute, however the Owner is Colombian, therefore, they have Colombian coffee, not cuban I had the breakfast brisket sandwich. Nothing special. read more

Our breakfast at Castro's was amazing! Their exotic papaya fruit plate including Mountain apple, star fruit, red dragon fruit and longan (similar to lychee)c was so impressive and delicious. Tres leches French toast and an egg with ham and cheese on thick bread sandwich (can't recall the name) were all to die for! Be forewarned that if you're walking both Apple and Google maps steered us wrong and we went in circles but luckily persisted and found the restaurant which is actually accessed via Saratoga Road not Kalākaua Rd. read more

This place is so delicious! I never give reveries but this deserved 5 stars. The service was great and the ambience is nice. They accidentally placed pork on our plate when we asked for brisket and the instantly corrected it with brisket and even offered to switch a whole new plate because the pork touched our food(religious reasons) I recommend this to anyone here in Honolulu. Just TRY read more

The food is amazing here and the service is just as good! Our server Inna was spectacular! She was so friendly, sweet and went out of her way to make sure we were well taken care of. I don't think I've enjoyed a server more!! read more

The Cuban twist. Best food on the island and off the beaten path. Get here early for breakfast or lunch. Swing by to see if they are open for dinner that evening. Hands down a MUST for locals and tourists alike. Added bonus. Majority of the food is celiac / gluten free / soy free! Currently BYOB. read more

Cuban food in Hawaii??? This place was recommended to me by mother, she stumbled upon it when she traveled to Honolulu earlier in the year. We went there for breakfast and were pleasantly surprised. I got the Buen Dia breakfast sandwich. I expected it to be a basic egg and cheese sandwich, but the addition of the dill crème fraiche was a game changer. It was accompanied with fresh fruit (star fruit, dragon fruit, grapes & lychee). The coffee and fresh juices are also good. read more

So glad we found this unique local ! The service was fast and friendly. We sat outside across from a lovely park and people watched. We had the breakfast brisket sandwich. OUTSTANDING! The entire thing was so light, tasty and unique. Flavorful and crispy and fluffy egg. Served with incredible pickled beans and fresh fruit. (A welcome change from scoop of mac salad/white rice!) And even better the price was same or lower then the other places we looked at before choosing to go here. Glad we found it early in our trip. We will be back! read more

Great savory flavorful food. Went there for lunch with my family and ordered the Cubano, Ropa Vieja, and Crab & Shrimp Toast. We loved all of what we ordered. Service was great: super welcoming and friendly with great patience on our indecisive selves. They brought out the food for us to the tables outside. The sandwiches had crunchy on the outside yet soft on the inside bread. The filling was really hearty and thick while being savory and juicy without being soggy on the bread. Our family is real picky on things being fresh & this easily satisfies our taste buds. Didn't eat the fruit, but the others said it was ok; I went here for the sandwiches anyways. (Eat it with the pickled items on the side!!) All the food is visually aesthetically pleasing too. Easily a place we would return to. Highly recommended. read more

Really nice cafe next to Eggs and Things. I had the jamon and queso (ham and cheese) sandwich and it was huge and tasty. Not prepackaged ham but really ham from a rump. A nice touch were the fresh tropical fruits that came with it - blueberries, lichees, etc. Not cheap - close to $20 but definitely worth it. Portions are large as well. Muy sabroso! read more

We had the Traditional Cubano breakfast with fruits, and everything was super fresh and tasty!

Was excited to find out our friend Luis opened up his own cafe! Finally went down to check out his place for lunch. It was nicely decorated, made you feel like home. I ordered the pan del lechon and my wife had the fruit platter. For drinks we ordered the plantation mate iced tea and dragonfruit juice for the kids. When the food came out, it looked so delicious! The lechon was so juicy and tender! Highly recommended! And the texture of the bread was perfect. My wife's fruit platter was filled with the freshest fruits i have ever seen and tasted. And it had fruits not normally found in any cafes! What surprised us was the combination of poi and yogurt! The iced tea was a really refreshing addition to our meals. Next time I'm going to try the house coffee, as I just had some Starbucks earlier. So, if you're in the Waikiki area, go check out Castro's for some really excellent Cuban food and service! And don't be shy, say hello to Luis! Oh, and they are open for dinner on certain days too! There's paid parking across the street at the post office! read more

Awesome food. Eat here you won't regret it. The brisket breakfast sandwich is fantastic. So was their take on a croque madame. My only feedback would be that the side of toast needed more toast to make sure there's enough for all the delicious compound butter and jam it comes with. read more
