This place is consistent and really good. I've only gotten carry out and the process is always fast and friendly. The restaurant itself is quaint and nicely decorated. The parking situation is kind of weird: the lot is blocked off on one end so it's awkward going in and out. I'd recommend parking in front of the florist next door and walking over to avoid being blocked in because they get plenty of traffic. I come here for a sandwich fix primarily. Haven't had one I didn't like yet. There's a special place in my heart for the media noche though. Their fried foods aren't insanely greasy and carries the actual FLAVA other than oil. They use queso fresco in their cheese empanadas which is kind of a big deal for caribeños (even if by marriage lmao). ~ Sidenote: For the love of God, do not serve me an empanada with reg-deg bagged mozzarella... EEYUCK! Once you have that queso fresco babyyyy you cannot turn back. ~ Anywho, the chicken empanadas were kinda of tough to eat but still flavorful. I'd stick to cheese and beef. YUUUUGE servings of tostones, but they're kind of skimpy with the yuca in my opinion. I won't complain though and just order double when the time calls for it LOL. Getchu some! read more

This is an inexpensive place. The parking lot is pretty vacant but most customers do take-out. The place is pretty clean. I ordered the Classic Cuban with sweet plantains and a drink. The sandwich had too much bread and not enough protein. I love the sauces that came with the sandwich. Plantains were good. read more

I've only had Cuban food a handful of times but this did not disappoint. It was our first time here and won't be our last. You can either order at the counter or a kiosk. It took us a minute to figure out what to get but eventually decided on fried yuca, lechon asado plate, vaca frita chicken plate, mango juice and passion fruit juice. The guy who was taking our order was super friendly and helpful. After paying he said our order will take about 10-15 mins and that our name will be called when it's ready. Well a short 5 mins later and our food was ready and they brought it to our table. I always have to get fried yuca and this one was yummy! I loved the garlic sauce it was served with, though I found it a bit watery. I ordered the lechon asado plate and the meat itself was tasty, but both my husband and I found both of our meats a little too dry. The sauces they had helped remedy this and added another depth of flavor though. Of course, you can never go wrong with rice, beans and plantains either. Overall, solid place for quick and cheap eats. I think our total was around $40 plus tip. read more

This week, our lunch spot was D'Cuban Cafe. It's a small place tucked away in Chamblee and definitely worth checking out. It's probably on the edge of being a dive, which usually means that you've found a place worth trying. I ordered a traditional Cuban Sandwich and a side of yucca fries. After lunch, I couldn't resist trying a Cuban espresso too. The sandwich was very good. Several folks at the table ordered it too and it got a thumbs up from everyone. My only complaint is that it doesn't come with a side (they are a la Carte). Next time, I want to try one of the plates... I saw one at another table that looked amazing! Inside the restaurant, there were a mixture of tables - mostly booths or 4-tops with chairs. It's not huge and did fill up. Dry fast. With a small party, it's great! Anything over 4, you're gonna need to push tables together and borrow chairs. Overall Vote: 4 stars. Would I go back? Definitely! read more

D'Cuban Cafe - LECHON ASADO BOWL - Latin American Near Me - Chamblee, Georgia

The husband kept talking about this place, and so we just went for an early dinner snack this past Friday. The place slowly filled up as we finished our food. So it looks like people of all ages and walks of life really seem to dig this place. The chicken empanada was good, but it wasn't anything amazing. It was super filled with shredded chicken, and it was tasty. I was expecting it be more flavorful and moist according to the general hype to be honest. The husband said this place still has the best Cuban sandwiches though after a decade later. But he also said the sauce makes all the difference. There were only x3 choices so don't get too excited. We shared the Cuban, and the sandwich was hearty and pressed with so much yumminess. There wasn't a magical ingredient that made it out of this world, but good it was. The side of plantains were really sweet and healthy as a side. The plantains were a good texture of softness but not overly dry. The flavor was simple and tasty. We were pretty content with sharing a empanada, whole sandwich and side of plantains. They also have weekly deals up to 4 PM from Monday through Friday. read more

This restaurant is directly across from Chamblee High School. It has free parking but there's only like 12 parking spaces. But there's other businesses with parking spaces in the same strip. This is cute little place. You have the options of ordering online, the kiosk or with the cashier. There's about 10 tables for inside dining. The bathroom is so cute and clean. The menu is clear and to the point! There's a Saturday special of 10 Empanadas for $25. Totally worth it if you need to feed several people. I ordered the beef empanadas with black beans and rice. I also ordered the guava cheese empanada and a Nutella empanada. We also got a Cuban sandwich.. it was good but I needed more meat. That guava cheese empanada is amazing!!!! I put the green Aoli sauce on my rice and beans... game changer! Now those beef empanadas have some potatoes in it! Yummmmmmmmy lol. The chicken empanadas were okay but the beef empanadas were the winner! I'm definitely going back if not for else those beef empanadas, rice and beans and the guava cheese empanada. Oh yeah forgot to mention that the Nutella and guava cheese empanada were so good and flaky! read more

I recently ordered takeout from at D'Cuban, and while I order from here pretty often, this was first time I picked it up vs getting delivery. Next time I MUST dine in. The vibes were perfect. The music, the art displaying Cuban artists, and the staff, it was all a great combination. We ordered 2 Cuban Sandwiches, with fries as our side. It was just *chef's kiss* GOOD. The sandwiches were a decent size, so between that and the fries I got full pretty quickly, but with that said, ya'll know I am greedy, so I also ordered a beef empanada and a flan to top off the night. I've been ordering from here for years, and they truly never miss a beat. I've had different people over my house when I've ordered, and it is always a hit. I look forward to continuing to make this my automatic go-to for Cuban. read more

I usually order this on Uber Eats, but one day I dropped in and grabbed a to go order. It's cozy spot, across from Chamblee High. This is the best Dominican food in Atlanta!

We ordered this via DoorDash while staying in Buckhead. The entire meal was mid at best. I ordered thinly sliced steak with rice and beans and tostones. I understand thinly sliced but I got a crispy, hard piece of Steak Um looking meat with onions. I was so disappointed when I opened my large food container with a tiny amount of food. Maybe I didn't read the description well enough or maybe I was thinking more like thinly sliced skirt steak. I definitely wasn't thinking about one Steak Um. The Rice and Beans were good. I wasn't expecting too large tostones in my order. In the North, when you order tostones you get quite a few. I just wasn't happy. My GF got some potato and ground beef thingy with rice and beans and sweet plantains. Now, I knew she wasn't going to like this before she even ordered it but she felt she was going to "love" it. Sometimes, you just have to let people live. She ate about two spoonfuls of the potato and ground beef thingy and said it was too oily. She ate two spoonfuls of the rice and beans and didn't recognize it was beans in that little container because it was watery at the top. She ate about one plantain. The rest of the meal went in the refrigerator because she said she was going to eat it again. Needless to say, it went in the trash when we were leaving Atlanta. I would never eat here again. read more

Food was absolutely delicious and service was super friendly. We brought our two kids (3 and 7) and they loved their black beans and rice. I strongly recommend the iced coffee read more

I think they make the best (or one of the best) Cuban sandwiches in Atlanta. The customer service is great and the food is consistently well prepared. I almost always get the sandwich special with rice & beans. Their croquettes and maduros are delish as well. I think a lot of people get take-out but the decor and music make it a lively place to dine-in. The only minor drawback is the parking and the awkwardly shaped parking lot. But overall definitely worth a trip. read more

We came back to this location since we wanted some Cuban food. I ordered the Pan con bistec with white rice and black beans. The sandwich was super delicious, the steak was cooked perfectly, the white rice was good and the black beans were delicious as well. It took over 10 mins for us to get our food though, we noticed other people who came after us who got their food first. The music playing was salsa and was not loud at all. I ordered the Ironbeer soft drink and it was good. The guy who took our order was attentive. read more

Let me start by saying the food is great! My recent visit was disappointing. I came in and placed my order paid and left. As I was driving to work, a notification came through my phone saying the charge was declined because of a locked card. I tried calling to see if they could run my card over the phone. Whoever answered the phone hung up on me. I came back to the location and ask who I was speaking to that hung up on me the young man at the counter, said it was him that there was a disconnection of the phone. He then offered me a free item. I truly feel like they expected me not to come back and pay. The attitude of the manager was very dry and I know where that hung up phone sounds like with that being said I will not be returning here. read more

This review is purely on their catering. Being South Florida transplants we had to have roast pig for Noche Buena and we found D'Cuban. We ordered the typical fare of sandwiches, tequeños, roasted pork, white rice, beans and plantains. It was all very delicious. The pork wasn't dry at all. My husband (the Cuban in our family) was surprised they didn't have moros. Knocking a star because bread wasn't included (as it usually is back home). Also prices were much more than we're used to paying for the same items back in FL for a catering order. Would definitely come back to dine in when the craving for Cuban food kicks in. Pictured in my review was a plate made with the food we ordered from their catering (minus the pandebono) read more

One of the best Cuban sandwiches I've had in Atlanta. Love coming here for lunch and the service is always great.

Really great Cuban and such great prices. We have tried almost all the Cuban restaurants here and this is honestly one of the best

I need to warn others! lol. No. So, I was driving around on a Sunday. Looking for new places. I am Cuban, obviously love Cuban food so I decided to stop here instead of the usual Cuban spot (tortugas) because I didn't feel like driving anymore. I ordered 2 chicken empanadas and steak. the chicken was SOOOOOOO OVERCOOKED I couldn't even finish, so tough, so dry! It was embarrassing. The steak was okay and the seasoning wasn't that bad. But the rice was severely UNDERCOOKED and the beans were just okay. It was a disappointing meal to say the least. I can not bring myself to return. And for $22 I deserved better. read more

Terrible service here! Ordered using the computer shown and I don't know if the system is slower than ordering with a person but people that came after us were getting their food and drinks first. That's not all though. We ordered a bottle water AND a Mexican coke but they only brought the water. When we asked about the coke the server tried to bring us a can coke so we corrected him and said no we ordered the bottle and he said no you didn't pay for one. He went back and started helping others instead of rectifying the issue. When we finally came back with food we asked about the Coke again and again he said we didn't order it but we showed him we did. He came back with the Coke and an attitude. By then we lost our appetite. Won't come back here ever again. So many other great Cuban restaurants around without bad attitudes. Thanks for making it easier to choose the other places. read more

D'Cuban Cafe - Don't order here - Latin American Near Me - Chamblee, Georgia

Got a Lechon Asado bowl for lunch today. I've driven by this place so many times since it opened up about 4 months ago. This restaurant is a delight! D'CUBAN Cafe is located on Chamblee Dunwoody Road, directly across the street from Chamblee Charter High School. The parking lot is not that big, and it can fill up without a moment's notice. There are about 7 booths and tables total inside, with some tall stools that customers can sit on at a counter. Customers can walk in, order at the counter, receive a pager, then sit at a table. When your food is ready, a the pager will let you know that it's time to pick up your order. Before returning to their tables, customers can stop at the nearby station to pick out plastic utensils, napkins and condiments, such as ketchup, green sauce and red (hot) sauce. I had ordered the Lechon Asado (shredded roast pork), which came with choice of white or yellow rice (I chose yellow rice), and black beans and sweet plantains. R ordered the same bowl, except he opted for the white rice. We received the bowls full of hot food. The shredded pork had a nice light roasted flavor, and the meat went very well with the black beans and the sweet plantains. The sweet plantains, however, weren't overly sweet, which was great because I don't prefer sickening sweet things. These plantains were perfect - heck, everything was, from the customer service (the woman at the counter was very nice and answered our questions), to the great food, to the welcoming dining area and the music playing through the sound system. As we were leaving and headed toward the door, one of the owners thanked us for coming in. We'll definitely be coming back! They have many more items on the menu, such as empanadas, many different sandwiches (including veggie), a large variety of sides, and meals are sold as platters and bowls. read more

So so delicious. The Ropa Vieja Beef is great. I've gotten the Plate and the Bowl. For only $1 more, I think the Plate is a better deal because it has more meat. Comes with rice and beans. My favorite is the plantains it comes with. I've also tried the Guava and Cream Cheese Pastelito. It was good, but I was way too full from the meal and didn't need it. Great food for a reasonable price, good portions, fast service. Highly recommend. read more

I decided to call D'cuban prior to going, because it was around the New Year's Day (January 2nd). A young lady picked up and immediately her voice and impression gave me bad vibes. She wasn't friendly. She sounded bothered. I didn't want to go after I got off the phone, but wife convinced me, since there was ton of traffic to go back to the AirB&B. As soon as we arrive, I can see through the window, someone laying down. I thought it was a customer or homeless person seeking shelter. I walked in and I wasn't greeted with a welcome or a smile. A kiosk was right up front. Nobody talk to us or asked if we needed help. The young lady who picked up when I called, was right up front. No smile or any friendly. The restaurant was filthy, the food was mediocre and to add insult to injury, my wife found a dead roach near our table. I was nice enough I told one of the employees about it and didn't even say thank you. I will never come back and I don't recommend this place. The employees need better training. GOOD LUCK! read more
