I thought moving to Vegas meant missing Porto's terribly, but I was wrong. This place is easily comparable and honestly, their Medianoche is even better than Porto's because the bread is freshly baked and the shaved ham and pork are packed with flavor. We also tried the Cuban Steak and Fried Pork Chunk dishes with rice, beans, maduros, and tostones. Everything was wonderfully prepared and tasted delicious and I normally do not like beans. I have officially found my new Cuban spot and will definitely be returning. read more

Came here on Cuban Sandwich Day and was so happy with everything that I got to try. Growing up with a Cuban best friend his grandma used to make us sandwiches after school and this is about as close as it gets! The plantains were amazing along with the guava cheese pastries. I would go back just for the pastries themselves! Service was quick and efficient although it was slightly hot inside the place. 10/10 I'm so glad they have several locations around the city whenever I'm in the mood. read more

I can't believe i have not written a review for one of my favorite Cuban restaurants. Their Masitas de Puerco or Lechon are definitely what drives my taste buds wild. It accompanied with Maduros Cuban rice or white rice, you want to get the cuban rice. And their pickled red onion is just delicious when cut into small bits to pair w each element the pork, maduro, the rice and onions all in one fork. I have tried all their empanadas flavors, you can't go wrong w any of them. Thank you for always making such delicious meals read more

After our trip to Miami we wanted to find a good Cuban resteraunt in Vegas First food was good. We had Cuban sandwich. Shredded beef plate and pizza. All were good But atmosphere wasn't what we expected. Paper plates plastic forks More like To go fast food Biggest feedback we could offer It was Super quiet. no noise at all but the quiet soda machine hum. ? Maybe turn on a Cuban radio station or YouTube? Or have staff offer recommendations or make conversation? or ? ?? So.. good food. for fast food. But I would Get it To Go read more

I always order the same sandwich because it's so good and I cannot imagine eating anything else from here. The Medianoche is Havana's midnight sandwich. It has smoked ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, mustard sauce, in a sweet egg dough bread. The bread is what makes it different from your standard Cuban sandwich and I can't enough. I love the friendly employees here and ordering is always straightforward via their website. I'll keep coming back over and over again for this delicious and very filling sandwich. It's simply the best. read more

I was told their Cuban coffee is worth a try and since Im craving a good Cuban sandwich, I've decided to give this place a try. The Cuban coffee is definitely worth and sandwich is definitely delicious, which reminded me of Miami. I did made a mistake of ordering the 305 and ybor without noticing they are pretty similar. Well, that gives me a reason to return and try other sandwiches. read more

Had a craving for some empanadas and this place did not disappoint. Decor and music are so cute. Set up is like a cute cafe with music playing in the background that makes you want to get up and dance. Empanadas were delish. Scarfed down all 3 of the ground beef with olives. Spicy sauce isn't really spicy but has a nice vinegar base. read more

So glad we found this gem! My favorites are chicken empanadas, pastelitos cubanos (yum coconut), and the rice and beans. Everything is fresh and flavorful. We order from here at least once a week! read more

Finally tried Cubanidad. I had the 305. I must say this sandwich is perfection. It was toasted nicely and the flavor profile was perfect. My sister ordered the Ropa Vieja. She really enjoyed the whole plate. We purchased a few of the 305 sandwiches and two ropa Vieja plates as takeout. My only complaint is that they packed the sandwiches with the plate meals. And the ropa vieja is saucy, had liquid. The liquid from the plates got the sandwiches wet. Which was a bit disappointing. Don't get me wrong though, the food was delicious and I will go back. read more

Been wanting to try this spot for a while especially since i watched The Chef on Netflix lol. My boy came through to pick me up and we decided to go finally. What a pleasant surprise this place was. The ambience was set like a little hole in the wall joint the cashier was really friendly and patient. We ordered the 305 since it was recommended for first timers and it was delicious. I didn't know what they did but with the ham and meat cheese and pickles tasted amazing. I was pretty hungry and i was stuffed after finishing my sandwich. Will definitely come back again to try other stuffs!!! read more

This was our first but definitely not our last time at Cubanidad 1885! The flavors here are fantastic. I ordered my husband The 305 which is their Miami Cuban sandwich. It has smoked ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickle, and homemade mustard sauce on a Cuban roll. I ordered the Nino Isleno which is the kids plate. I had it with rice and Cuban steak and sweet plantains. It was so good. For dessert we split a flan. It was so delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. I can't wait for a chance to go back. read more

A must every time I visit Las Vegas. This is my second time coming here and it's just as good as the first. I got the 305 Cuban sandwich with Cuban rice and chicharrones everything was on point. The sandwich was pressed perfectly, bread crispy, and the pork had a lot of flavor. The Cuban rice was solid, and the chicharrones were fresh and crunchy. You can tell they actually put care into the food. Definitely one of my go-to spots when I'm in Vegas. read more

My Cuban family who come to town especially love this place and I do too, having lived outside of Miami for many years, I've tasted great authentic Cuban food, and having food from here is like eating at my abuela's house. Good prices. Great quality. It's why I keep coming back! read more

I love a great Cuban sandwich and this place does it right. I haven't been here in many years and so glad we finally made it back as this should be a regular for me. The Miami style Cuban is my favorite. It's a fast casual concept and most grab their food to-go. There are a few tables inside and a small counter for indoor dining. There's a lot of parking spaces in this plaza so coming here is nice and easy. The food is great. Very authentic and the customer service is friendly as well. If you need more of anything just ask and they'll gladly give it you. read more

As far as sandwiches go, Cubanidad does Cuban right. While the quality of the build can vary depending on who is in the kitchen, these filling and flavorful takes on Cuban cuisine hit the spot. The plantains don't measure up to what you'll find in Florida, but that is a small setback for an otherwise great meal. Cubanidad would get a full 5 stars with a little more consistency and better prep on the sides. However, there is no denying this is the goto place for a Cuban sandwich in Vegas. read more

We've ordered multiple times. My family had high expectations since used to live in the 305 and eat lots of Cuban food. The only things that are worth it are the ropa vieja and pastelitos. I've tried the cuban sandwich - flavorless and off balance ingredients/meat. The pan con lechon contains boiled pork fat that tastes flavorless as well, as if they didn't even put salt in the water. Absolutely inedible and the few pieces that actually had meat were super dry. The yucca fries are literally four small pieces and don't come with the usual sauce. Not going to keep giving this place a chance. Note picture - dry bread, some veggies and full of fat pie read more

I am shocked and embarrassed that I have not reviewed one of my favorite spots to dine at in Vegas! We've ordered catering from Cubanidad twice now, and each time the food has been an absolute hit at our parties. Everything is consistently delicious, fresh, and full of authentic Cuban flavor. The online ordering system is incredibly straightforward, and our food has always been ready right on time. Some standout dishes worth mentioning: the Mojo roasted pork, which is tender and packed with flavor; the sweet plantains, perfectly caramelized; and the Cuban rice and beans, which pair beautifully with everything. Cubanidad has quickly become our go-to spot for catering as well as one off meals , and we'll always be ordering from here whenever we need delicious Cuban food. read more

This location is the best one food-wise in my opinion. Sandwiches are always served hot and fresh. The beef & olives empanadas are amazingly delicious, with the pastry's exterior texture being just right and a bit chewy inside. I tried the boiled yucca with mojo, and it was so tender, definitely the best I've had in Las Vegas. And even with the hot weather, a good cup of cafe con leche always hits the spot. The service is quick, and the lady at the counter is always nice and friendly with excellent recommendations. The dining area is kind of small, so if there are a lot of people, it could feel packed inside. Can't wait for my next visit to try their entree plates and get my Caribbean food fix! read more

Now inhabiting the block south of Spring Mountain Road on Fort Apache since just before Memorial Day 2019 Cubanidad can safely be considered a success story thanks to traditional Food made well plus several new items added by customer demand. Dubbed "the Ybor Original," locations in Tampa Bay as well as Miami highly regarded for the Cuisine of Chef Dennis Martinez Miranda, it was by Toast that fourteen items were ordered for take-out thus saving both sides several dollars in fees. Packing everything in temperature-controlled containers, it was with goods unpacked that staff explored flavors novel yet familiar, Hispanics quick to praise Empanadas packed with shredded Beef and Plantains. A locally-owned import, Chef Miranda's Cuban upbringing and professional training in Venezuela yielding products with big flavors, Beans and aromatic Rice outperform expectations while Medianoche features housemade Bread that stands up nicely to Smoked Ham, Roasted Pork, Swiss Cheese and Mustard Sauce. Not about to skip Dessert, Pastelitos eat light, flaky and better than those at any local Panaderia thanks to Butter-laminated Pastry nearly bursting with Coconut Jam or Guava Jam and Cream Cheese. read more

It's a great sandwich unfortunately I am old and on Social Security and the way I see it. This is a five dollar sandwich costing me $15.... I'm taking away one star because as soon as you walk in the restaurant, you are blasted with the smell of a sewer. It's pretty disgusting. I had to take mine to go. read more

Ever since I have visited Cuba, I find myself coming here to be reminded of that amazing experience. The food is not quite the same and I believe that's due to the ingredients, but it is similar enough! They were out of mariquitas, but I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of my meal! My entree plate is always delicious all together, but I cannot get enough of the Cuban rice and beans. read more

Iv been here 7-8 times I like the Ropa Viejo black beans and rice w plantiano. The dining space is small but cute feels very islandy the staff is always helpful. I only deducted a star for the portions the beef is always small (unless I order a family meal near close) the empanadas are small and not full enough for me but the flavor is there and I will continue to go back for the ropa viejo and cafe con leche read more

The food is alright, but there are much better Cuban food spots. It is fast casual Cuban food. The people that take your order are not friendly or helpful at all. They skimp on the protein portion. read more

Ok, I've been holding out on this place a bit. I used to come here for their plates, which I thought were okay, but their Cuban sandwiches hit! I've visited Miami and Tampa a few times and it's hard to come across a legit cuban sandwich in town. But this is as close as it gets in Vegas. The bread is legit, and the roast pork and ham w/ the mustard sauce are delicious. Panini pressed like a real Cubano. And get this: on Wednesdays, you buy one 305 Cubano and get a second one for only $5. What an effing deal. The fries are pretty good - reminds me of fresher McD's fries. The fried yucca is great too, although I wished they gave a bigger portion. Get the green sauce. All in all, pretty awesome. We'll be back to eat more Cubanos. read more

We live in a Caribbean food desert, so stumbling on this gem really made our day. The 305 is perfection. If you are looking for a pernil sandwich and can't find Puerto Rican cuisine, try this spot. The sandwiches are excellent, the plátanos so sweet. Even that cortadito was exactly what we wanted. Pricing is average for the location but portions are large and service is great. Super friendly. The location is easy to find. Not much inside seating but don't let that stop you from visiting this cute quality Cuban shop. read more

Popped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised and the authentic feel to this cute little restaurant. The woman behind the counter was super friendly and greeted us promptly, then provided some tips about the menu and favorite items to order. My husband had the 305 Miami Cuban sandwich. I tried the pan con pollo chicken sandwich. Both were delicious, very flavorful. The service was quick and the food was hot and fresh. We also ordered some empanadas to go, which the staff brought out for us towards the end of our meal. There are 3-4 tables inside plus a small area with barstools for seating. It's cozy and well-decorated and clean inside. Would definitely return here to try some of their other menu items! read more

Husband was craving sandwiches so tried out this spot. He got The 305 which he really enjoyed. It was made and served fresh with toasty bread. We also got a few empanadas, the Beef & Olives, Spinach and Cheese, and Sweet Coconut. They were all flavorful and tasty, but also a bit dry. It didn't seem as fresh as I would have wanted, but still it was good . The Sweet Coconut was basically a delicious dessert. We finished this off with amazing Cuban coffee! The service was so friendly and nice, and also note that there is not too much seating inside, but we were able to sit down and find seating easily. t looks like a lot of people get their orders to go. read more

I was not expecting this to be so incredibly good. I thought this would be just a fast food sandwich. It was so much better than that. This is a Really good cuban sandwich with complex flavors. The bread is just fantastic. I was way too full to try other things on the menu but I have every intention of coming back for empanadas, pan con lechon, maye a plate with cubes of pork I saw. My understanding is that there only three of these spots. I can absolutely see this taking off as a franchise business. I wish them the best. This is definitely a place to try. read more

It is small cuban restaurant in Las Vegas. A lot of variety of Cuban food we tried pizza, Ajiaco, bistec sandwich, congris, also dessert my friends were amazing about how flavorful food was.

Cubanidad - The 305 - Cuban Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I've been on the hunt for truly authentic Cuban flavors in Vegas, and Cubanidad Express near Twain and Ft. Apache absolutely blew me away. As someone who lived in Miami for years, I know what to expect with good Cuban--their Media Noche is the best I've had since leaving the 305, hands down. The bread is pillowy-soft, the ham and roasted pork are packed with flavor, and that classic pickle tang balances it all perfectly. ...Oh! Their Congrí--simple ingredients but so hard to perfect-- they've got it down, the rice and beans are cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of smoky seasoning. If you have a hearty appetite or feel like rounding out your meal, definitely spring for a side of Maduros--those sweet plantains are fried to golden perfection. They also serve a terrific chimichurri that adds a bright, herb-y kick to any dish. On top of the mouthwatering food, Cubanidad Express maintains a simple, clean, and welcoming vibe, making it perfect for a quick lunch run or a casual take out dinner. The staff is friendly and attentive, and you can tell they take pride in bringing authentic Cuban staples to Vegas. While some might find the prices a touch high for a quick to-go sandwich, I can't complain about paying a bit more for genuine Cuban flavors done right. Cubanidad Express is definitely my new go-to spot anytime I'm craving a taste of Miami. While the tab can climb a bit higher than expected--around $60 for two sandwiches, congri, maduros, and drinks--the authentic flavors and warm service more than justify an occasional splurge. If it weren't for the price point, I'd be here weekly. Still, for a genuine taste of Miami in Vegas, Cubanidad Express is well worth a visit. read more
