The staff was incredibly welcoming, you absolutely get what you pay for, and outside of the jerk chicken empanada, the rest of what we ordered was absolutely delicious! I could not recommend this place more. read more

Cuba Bakery & Cafe - The Pan con Lechon Sandwich and El Cubano Sandwich! SO GOOD! - Cuban Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Cute Cuban bakery located in an area that you wouldn't find this type of food anywhere. Service was fast and friendly. Honestly coming from the Miami area I can't even compare. However everything looked good. They also have lunch ready early in the morning. I had the pan con lechón which was HUGE . The pork was actually pork instead of ham. And it was packed with meat. The pork was flavorful, but it was dry. The cortadito was good. I had a small sancocho which I was not a fan. My brother had a plate with yucca, pork and Moro rice and he loved it. He says he goes every time he is In the area. I personally was not a fan of the sandwich or the sancocho. But i would check them out since is something different in the area. read more

Amazing Cuban restaurant. Chicken fell off the bone, amazing sweet plantains, and very flavorful rice! I loved the flan as well, it was probably one of the best I've had! Staff were so friendly and helpful. Inside is quiet with plenty of seating. My boyfriend and I split it and we couldn't eat it all! read more

Cuba Bakery & Cafe - Creole chicken plate - Cuban Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

There are some stellar spots that I owe an apology to for visiting many times without a review. Cuba Bakery is one of them. Over the last few years, they have made my palate sing every time. Walk in on the right, check out the menu as you approach the counter to order. There is a hot food section followed by a pastry case. Someone friendly (if a bit soft-spoken, I can't hear any of them very well) will take care of you from start to finish, drinks and all. I've yet to have something on the menu that didn't make me smile. Cubano--We brought a Miami native here and he rates this among the best he's ever had. I agree. Simple, huge, delicious. Oxtail--This is a signature dish that deserves the callout. Currently, Wednesday and Saturday only. Just make sure you eat it there. The magic disappears as it cools and doesn't return with reheating. Ropa Vieja and Lechon earn a shout, too. Pork ribs yesterday were good, but I'd pass next time. All the entrees come with two sides. I usually go for Congri (black beans and rice) + fried plantains. Bakery goods and treats set a high bar as well. It's easy to fill up a box or two. I like the empanadas and cheesecake even more than the basic tarts and such. Big portions of delicious eats, reasonable prices, friendly service. Five stars. read more

Cuba Bakery & Cafe - Up close and Cubano - Cuban Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Yum! I've been wanting to try this place for the longest time. The menu is glorious and it was super hard to choose what I wanted. I will definitely go back and get other items as well. I ordered the Pan con Lechon-which folx should recognize won't be like Filipino lechon, haha. I was slightly surprised but in a good way. They PACKED my sandwich with lechon, literally leaking of lechon, which is a good problem to have. I also tried the guava pastry, which was so buttery and yummy as well. I got my sandwich to go and it took about 20ish minutes? So if you're in a rush, don't go here. Overall, the establishment was very clean and the employees were great as well. Can't wait to come back. read more

My favorite sandwich is the Cuban. I love pastries and fun treats. This cafe is the best ever for fulfilling both these wishes. They have one of the best Cubans (it's so large and delicious). It even holds up over time if you want to eat the second half the next day. I've only tried a few of their treats but the guava cheese pastry I did get to try was so good I couldn't put it down. Their desserts also look amazing. If you want good food then definitely come here! read more

This is a real gem in Aurora! We stumbled upon this cafe in our quest to find something that was open and within half hour driving distance of the airport. It had good reviews and cuban food and we decided to try it. The location is in an outdoor strip mall sort of a place. There is tons of parking, which is great! From the outside, this cafe looks like a mediocre restaurant, nothing fancy or romantic, a vibe emoting "eat and go"....but once you enter, the aroma of spices and flavors hits you like a wall, a good wall! Our clothes definitely smelt of all the food that was cooking and eaten in the cafe ha ha! You can see the menu on the main wall and you have choices between appetizers, meals including daily specials, sandwiches and a whole array of desserts and baked goods. The menu is actually quite extensive. The meals are set up counter style so you see what you get. The portion sizes are huge. The entrees cost anywhere between $14-18 and these portions are definitely worth that price and more. We decided to eat there but there were several people who came to get takeout. We ordered the El Cubano (of course) and the Stew Beef, which was the daily special for Friday. Both were delicious! The stew beef was flavorful, lots of spices but not overtly heated and the meat was soft and cooked exactly the way beef pieces should be. The potatoes were well-cooked. It came with a choice of different rice options, we went for the pork rice and it was a great choice. The pork pieces were a little softer and chewier than the beef pieces and provided a different texture, which we really liked. The plate also came with some fried plantains, a favorite of my husband's! Fried plantains tend to become gooey in some restaurants, which I don't like. These were firm, properly fried and not overtly sweet or mushy. It was a great plate overall. The El Cubano was HUGE but full of meat and steaming hot off the panini maker. With every bite, you get more and more of the medley of flavors from the meat, the pickles and the sauce. It came with slim chips, which were not too heavy on the stomach. That sandwich lasted us two meals, so you can imagine how big it was. I wanted to try their guava and cheese pastry but we just didn't have any appetite left! We got a tres leches to share and this was definitely one of the best ones I've had. The cake was firm to bite into and then just melted in the mouth. The creamy sauce was excellent and sweet and just the perfect end to this delicious meal. Again, the portion is good enough for two people. The lady manning the food counter and the people manning the cash counter were all very sweet. All in all, this was a great experience and this restaurant definitely lives up to its reviews and ratings. Highly recommended!! read more

I placed a pick up order online today and it was immediately rejected. I believe it was because I did not leave a tip. I don't feel it's neccesary to leave a tip when I'm picking up my order, and paying a service fee and taxes already. No one has left me a tip in the 35 years I've been at my job and I'm just tired of the present day mentality that "I'm working harder than you and I deserve more". We all are working hard to pay our bills, just make the damn sandwich already. read more

Their serving portion is absolutely humongous so you're definitely getting the bang for your buck. They stack everything on the plate as much as they can. Sandwiches are freshly made as well and is basically a footlong sandwich. As far as utensils go, you'll need to ask for them if they don't have it in their front area. There's plenty of seating available inside, however they do not have any AC. You're basically roasting while eating which was not a good experience. read more

We stopped visiting Cuba Bakery and cafe a few months back due to the lack of courteous service. We decided to try again this last weekend and we were pleasantly surprised to get impeccable service and the quality of food was superb! We were greeted from the moment we arrived at the restaurant. Our order was taken and we waited a few minutes to enjoy our breakfast sandwiches. We were constantly checked in on asking if everything was ok. Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you're served. Im not sure if this restaurant recently changed ownership, but we will definitely go back and recommend it to our friends and family. read more

Good morning I was in the Cuban restaurant on January 31 Saturday for their oxtails. They're always amazing and I was later into the day. The server that served me put all the ends of the oxtails on my plate. I asked her to give me some meeting ones. Also she said something I didn't understand and continue to give me those ends that have no meat, just cry and fat it was so crowded in there I did a scene so I just took it and left. I got home and I was mad at myself $25 for the of oxtails. I tried to call this morning to talk to someone no answer so I put it on a review. I was very disappointed mostly because she wouldn't give me any of the meaty ones. She Just put those ends for some reason anyway the oxtails are usually very amazing. That's why I go in there but from now on, I'll just cook my own. I used to do that anyway. I won't go there anymore. read more

A bit disappointed from my last visit yesterday, the fried rice was salty, the ribs were hard. I always get a friendly smile and service, but all that was tarnished by getting sick about an hour after having my dinner. I don't mind paying a bit for food, but don't want to get sick for that price. read more

Love it here, their cafe con leche and spinach empanadas are my go to. Ive tried other items like the sandwiches, they are huge and you can definitely feed two with one and they give plenty of fries. Sometimes i have a hard time communicating without my husband but they always make a effort and call someone to help. They are super friendly, organized, and their food is good what more can you ask for. read more

Sooo good! I'm from CA - and their guava cheese rolls are similar to Porto's. I loved the chicken potato stew dish. Their empanadas are also really good! Haven't tried their desserts in the cold case yet but their warm food is worth a visit! read more

The location has gotten a bit bigger since the first time I was here years ago. Sunday Morning Breakfast 3 eggs, ham, potato sticks (yes the canned crunchy ones they were yummie) and some really yummy long bread and coffee or tea. This was a lot of breakfast for about 10 bucks. There were a few other breakfast selections, but honestly, I couldn't read what they were. They will bring it out to you once it's done ur you order at the counter. The cases are loaded with things for every taste. Cookies, cakes, pastries, rolls, buns everything looked fresh and delicious. Plenty of parking as it's in a strip mall. read more

We came over hungry and not expecting much, after a flight from Oakland and a two hour delay getting a rental car. The prices seemed high online, more like what we are used to from San Francisco. However, when we got our order, I was blown away by the portions (over double what I'm used to) and quality. The cubano was a fantastic sandwich. It easily fed me and my wife. It's worth far more than they're charging. The guava and cheese roll is huge enough to feed 6 people. We still didn't touch the other sandwich, as we were filled up by half a cubano. Service was also warm, no nonsense, and welcoming. read more

Delicious, authentic lunch plate. Huge portion! Reminded me of one of our regular luck spots in Costa Rica - cafeteria dish-up style. Love. Love. Love. I had planned on getting a sweet pastry, though I had to pass : stuffed! read more

After making my mid-morning doctor's appointment nearby, I was hungry for my first meal for the day (it wasn't like I was fasting for my appointment; I simply didn't have time to eat anything before my appointment.) I got on Maps (like I usually do) to search for an intriguing place to get food at and spotted this Cuban eatery on it. I wasted no time to rush to it. I just like places that sell empanadas (PERIOD)!! Now I have conquered Argentinean ones to Columbian ones to Nicaraguan ones to El Salvadorian ones to Peruvian ones, it was time that I experienced the Cuban kind again. At the store, there was a display of different types of savory and sweet empanadas. Oh boy, I'm in trouble! I wish I had the stomach the size of an elephant or horse to eat all of them. While I was being wishy washy as to which ones to choose the lady who assisted me was very patient with me. She let me take the time. I decided to go with the safest route: Spinach one. But for my second one, I chose the Guava Cheese. I also wanted to choose from the Poultry section, so I got me the Chicken (stew type thing with potatoes in it.) I was really shocked as to how generous this lady was. All the poultry stuff goes by the weight. When she put one piece of chicken leg and several pieces of potatoes in the container, I asked her to put some juice/sauce in it. She said she needed to weigh it first before she put the juice/sauce. In other words, she excluded the weight of the juice/sauce and priced it first then she poured plenty of juice/sauce into it! No store/restaurant does this especially in this tough high inflation economy. This store deeply cares about the customers and their needs. This kind of good/kind deed/act although minor and subtle is significant which didn't escape my notice. Between the two empanadas, I must vote for the Guava Cheese one. This was delicious. The Chicken stew was also delicious. The chicken was well cooked in the sauce; the meat was super tender. And the sauce was well seasoned with just the RIGHT amount of salt. It was definitely cooked to the perfection! This place is another great discovery. read more

The Havana sandwich is incredible. Get it. Eat it. Do it. Yum!!!! I love this restaurant.

Upon arrival, you can smell the bakery. There are so many options available and everything tasted so good. My sisters and I decided to visit Cuba Bakery after watching the baker and the beauty. The empanadas are huge for what you pay for and they do not shy away from the fillings. If you are getting pastries with a bunch of people, you should just get one of everything and split it in half or thirds so you can eat the menu. We came in wanting to eat the Cuban sandwich but it was sold out or they were out of ingredients which was sad. So I'll need to return to try the sandwich. There's a dine in area as well. Need to return to try the desserts. read more

Came in here for a late breakfast, early lunch. Got one each chorizo and spinach empanadas, plaintains, giant cinnamon thing, beef roll, and yucca roll along with two coffees. (Later got a bombon for the road.) Staff were super friendly and quick. Food was as all delicious, particularly the beef roll. Super flaky. The empanadas were also really nice and the cinnamon stick could be desert and soft biscotti for two. Coffee was sweet and tasty. The bombon was an espresso dripped into condensed milk and really got me going. Sat next to two tourists from Miami, and while one was super jaded and said this was like what you'd get in Miami Beach (said derisively, but I'll take it!) the other said the empanadas specifically where like her grandma made. Would def go for ribs next time. Saw a few old timers noshing on them, and they may or may not have raised their elbows in a defensive position upon noticing my lustful eyes. Typical Aurora strip mall ambiance. Clean, welcoming. I'll be back. read more

I started my previous review raving about their cheese pastries. Not sure what's happened between now and then, but it's not good. My last order of cheese pastries was missing the filling. Every. Single. One. I paid good money for these and for there to be NO cream cheese filling in every single one I bought is unacceptable. I mean, that's the best part! Honestly, it's been a hit and miss situation when I go here. Sometimes, it's hitting, but when it's missing, it's quite disappointing. read more

Cuba Bakery & Cafe - Cheese was missing from the pastry. - Cuban Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This place is the definition of a hidden gem. It sits in a strip mall off the side of a highway and from the outside there isn't much to see that could give you any indication of the deliciousness that you'll encounter inside. The food is authentic, the portions are big, the prices are low, and the service was both quick and friendly. Order and pay at the counter, wait for your name, then dig in. Before you pay look to your left. There are a few cases full of all sorts of pastries, cakes, grab and go items that you might want to add to your check. Some good stuff there so don't miss it. I had the Cuban sandwich, some plantains, and a fried empanada. The sandwich was huge, the plantains perfect, and the empanada was fried. Would order all of them again. Overall a solid experience and a good, cheap meal. read more
