We wanted a Cuban sandwich and this seemed to be the closest place open that served Cuban food. Fortunately for us it was open! Great sandwiches and atmosphere. Family style service and quality. The sandwiches were large and well stuffed with shredded pork and sliced ham. I would have liked a little more salami, mustard, and pickles, but that didn't change the deliciousness of the sandwich. $9 for a great sandwich and the atmosphere is well worth it. Treat yourself, come by and enjoy one of their dishes. I plan on coming back to try several more dishes that caught my eye on the menu. read more

Behind the La Porte High school this little family owned business is legit with their Cuban cuisine and coffee. They have 3 locations that I'm aware of, La Porte, Deerpark, and the OG in Baytown. Open early for breakfast also. Til we eat again. read more

What can I say? Cuban sandwich and French toast were awesome as well as the Cuban coffee. Great service also. Will be back!

The food was so amazing. I highly recommend trying their sweet empanadas, specifically the cream cheese and Guayava!! It reminds me of my family when they cook Cuban food. The restaurant is hidden and simplistic, but it feels homey and it's honestly a great place to go and do some homework study and have a great meal. Looking forward to going back and trying their other food options! Great service as well, very attentive and kind! read more

Cuban Cafe - Ropa vieja sándwich - Cuban Near Me - La Porte, Texas

Everything. We have been going there for years. It is comfortable, food is great, and Pablo makes the place. He is just what defines a welcome. You ask one of their delicious sandwiches, ,you get a great sandwich. You only want half, you get that, and a little more. You want anything on the Menu, you get it your way. Their homemade Italian dressing, is just awesome! We take our friends, and visiting Family, anytime we can. read more

Two stars because my previous experience here was a good one and I'm generally lenient. However, I'll never eat here again. I ordered takeout from here last Wednesday. The same guy was at the front as always--long hair, kind of surly. As usual, he seemed exasperated that I decided to buy something from his business. It's always "*big sigh* it's gonna be a few minutes* while he makes a big deal out of making one coffee. Fine, I'm not a stickler, just give me what I pay for... He rolled his eyes, and goes "you're the last order of the day." I asked if he still would take my order, he said yes, so I figured it was fine... Mind you, I'm there 45 minutes before closing. So I wait, I get my order--a Cuban, a steak sandwich and a cafe con leche (iced). The Cuban was disgusting. It was cold, it smelled terrible--like a toilet. The cafe con leche was luke warm and tasted stale. I took one bite of the sandwich and gagged. I looked inside, and he could've taken it out of the trash in all honesty. It felt like he intentionally messed with the food or used old food. The steak sandwich I got my wife, looked just as bad. We threw it away. $35 plus tip down the drain. Really no explanation. I'm friendly, very polite, always tip. He took my money, acted put out about doing his job, then gave me an inedible meal. read more

Authentic Cuban sandwich....very good. Our waiter was very nice and helpful. We will definitely go back!

Great place in La Porte. Coffee is spot on, and the breakfast dishes do not miss. Their support for local artists is great. They are a real asset to our town. read more

Cuban Cafe - Art work - Cuban Near Me - La Porte, Texas

I've eaten here several times since my initial review, and these folks are fabulous. -- On my first visit, it seems they were either really busy (perhaps doing a catering order), or someone might have called out sick. Either way, the service has been clutch many times since then. The food has also been wonderful. I used to eat breakfast only on rare occasions ... until I tried the breakfast sandwiches here. The Cuban has also been consistently fantastic, and the pulled pork sandwich is also really good. The ingredients here are quality, and the bread is outstanding. I'm happy to shop local, and these guys have earned my business in every way. read more

Awesome Food and Service, just like in the Island. The ambiance reminded me of a little coffee shop in the Island. Great place to talk unwind of a busy week. The sandwiches made with love plenty of options to chose from. But the guava cheese empanada are on of the best items. Do not forget your Cafe con Leche. If you still have space order the maduros(sweet plantains). You will not be disappointed. read more

Cuban Cafe - Come in take a photo and enjoy their amazing coffee, sandwiches, maduras and empanada. Buen Provecho. - Cuban Near Me - La Porte, Texas

A simple, friendly, hole-in-the-wall sandwich place. I had been several times in the late afternoon, but they were closed. They are only open until 4 PM. Great breakfast pressed sandwich. Great simple Cuban sandwich. Nicely seasoned pan roasted potatoes and onions. Great apple and cherry emplanadas, I think they would be good with ice cream. While waiting, I ordered an iced dark chocolate mocha, best I ever had, and he gave it to me free. Nice local artwork for sale. Great service. I forgot my phone, so there are no pictures now. read more

On this past Saturday and Sunday! My cousin celebrated her 50th Bday at her beach house in La Port Tx. And, she suggested The Cuban Cafe for brunch because she said the food was amazing. So, everyone were excited to check it out. Their customer service was awesome and the food was cooked to order. The ambiance had beautiful colorful paintings on the walls ,and felt very inviting. Everything, was so delicious we decided to come back again on that Sunday to try their lunch menu. And, yes I'll definitely be back!!! read more

Was at the end of my birthday weekend in Crystal Beach and we stayed a couple nights in La Porte. The wife found this place online. We love visiting small, family run businesses so we gave breakfast a shot. This joint is a joint, but in a good way. The owners are so nice and accommodating. I asked for a Ropa Vieja, 3 egg omelet (not on the menu) and they made it. The Cuban Breakfast sandwich is delicious and the bread they use taste as if was flown in from Cuba. The potatoes are crispy on the outside and creamy in the middle (like they all should be) and the empanadas...hands down the best ones so far! And of course the coffee. They have a small coffee menu but so far, everything we've had is great. The Cafe con Leche and the Mocha (dark chocolate, always!) are smooth and delicious! So good that we came here the second day on our way home. We'll be back! read more

This place has awesome food and awesome people. I've gotten the Cuban sandwich and the pulled pork sandwich. Both have turned out great. The yucca fries are a nice and tasty change from the standard fries you see in most restaurants. The ladies at the front will wrap your sandwich in paper if you need it to go. I appreciate the environmentally friendly and sustainable choice there. read more

Not from this area. Riding bikes and saw this small breakfast and lunch Cuban diner. Should we take a chance? Oh Yeah!!!!!!. Pleasant folk and Delish food at a reasonable price!!!!! Please please support this small business if you get an opportunity. Had the Authentic Cuban sandwich!!!! Yum....not a puny little sandwich. This was filling. read more

Great tasting food, phenomenal service. Best authentic Cuban sandwich. Great coffee. Awesome local spot! HIGHLY recommend

Friendly staff, I'm guessing she's the owner, she's super nice! I was shocked when I opened my sandwich. It has little crunchy piknik potatoes. It's sooo yummmy!!! I'm glad I saw this restaurant while my daughter was playing school tennis tournament. Actually, I was intrigued by the sign. It read, Uban Cafe puzzled while driving then I finally saw the sign at building restaurant on my rear view mirror and it read... Cuban Cafe. Hey, it got me thinking... but since it's been a while since I had a good Cuban Sandwich, which I only get In Tampa Florida... why not! And it was the best decision walking in.... Uban ... hehe Cuban Cafe. Thank you guys! Ohh, thanks to the little boy that was keeping me entertained with his toys. read more

Cuban Cafe - Pan Con Bistec - Cuban Near Me - La Porte, Texas

We have supported this business time and time again just to be upset every time because the breakfast potatoes that come with the mini breakfast sandwich were never ready. We quit coming to this location and started taking our business to the Deer Park location where they never ever disappoint they are always fully stocked with whatever we pick from the menu. The La Porte location is closer to home so today we decided to give them another try after about 6 months without coming here. Well guess what?! No breakfast potatoes again!!!! At this point they need to just do without and take them off the menu. Another thing the breakfast sandwiches come with so little meat, I suggest pressing down on the sausage patty to expand it and make it be fuller at least so that if you don't plan on adding the extra meat to cover the sandwhich (meat that we pay extra for) because when you order the breakfast sandwich that describes what it comes with which shows meat included then at the register they charge you an extra $2.50 for meat. I see the potential here the taste in food is great and the coffees are also great. Its just the small things that makes us support Deer Park location. We won't be coming back to this location in La Porte, you can't convince me different plenty of chances given. read more

Dang it! I want to like this place, but they just can't seem to get it together. Ate here again recently. Out of approx six empty tables four looked dirty or had a mound of junk on them. Cook/owner? Decides to sit down at what looks like a permanent family table of his in the back section and eat instead of clean his establishment leaving us the only customers to eat in a nasty environment. Tried it twice. Not professional at all and won't be back. Oh yeah food rings us higher than the menu stated prices because "they haven't had time to change it." Two star because the food does taste good! read more

Definitely recommend this small cafe if you're in the La Porte area. The coffee and food are great and inexpensive. Staff is very friendly. read more

I love Cuban cafe and my only complaint is their hours. Like a lot of businesses in deer park, they have enough business in lunch/daytime that they don't have evening hours. The food is so flipping tasty. I've enjoyed all the empanadas. The salsa is a can't miss. read more

Their sandwiches are amazing! Please give them a try, and they have locations in La Porte, Deer Park and Baytown. Family owned business with delish food! read more

Definitely not worth all the hype I was seeing on the La Porte community page. Food was Greasy, no customer service, if you're new to the location they expect you to know how to order, behind the counter was filthy, food took forever, coffee was for dine in yet came in a styrofoam cup, gentle with the long hair was nicer and more conversational with the Caucasian customers, they forgot several peoples orders, even though there was a total of 5 people in the restaurant. We live in La Porte and always make it a point to support all our local small businesses, but this place will no longer be on our list. Highly disappointed! No false accusations, nor baseline insinuations, I said what I truly saw and felt. You as the owner are allowed to disagree with that statement but not allowed to claim I am 100% incorrect in my perspective. Thank you for taking the time out to respond, even if you disagree with the review. read more

Called in for a to go order, it was ready in 15 minutes. This was my 1st time going to a Cuban cafe. The staff was friendly. The food was great, I don't have any complaints. I was curious ordering an espresso based drink from a restaurant, but surprisingly it came out good. I look forward to coming back again. read more

This place is so nice to have around the corner from where we live. Excited and glad they are here. Staff is super awesome and friendly and will highly recommend items as well.
