LECHON ASADO PLATE
Stephanie G.

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.

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!

Flavorful meat, clean and cute decor. One of my favorite Cuban restaurant in Atlanta.

Chicken empanada.
Andrea M.

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.

Nutella empanada

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!

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.

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! I get the mojo chicken, with beans, yellow rice, salad, plantains and tostones. I top it with the garlic aioli and it's just delicious!

What's left of my vaca frita chicken, the plantain chips (great for dipping) and my iced coffee.

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

The food is always excellent and the staff is super friendly. I mostly order takeout through the app and my food is ready in about 10-15 minutes. My go to items are the lechon asado plate and a Cuban sandwich for later at night or the next day. Delicious!

Cuban sandwich w/ rice & black beans
Tina S.

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.

Ham Croquettes
Brian S.

I feel like their Cuban food is the most authentic in the Atlanta area. Their black beans are perfectly seasoned and served with white rice, as you should! The sandwiches are of a nice size and cooked very well. Thumbs up!

The food was pretty good, the prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly. Good place to go for lunch.

Pan con bistec with black beans and white rice
Laz S.

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.

I ordered one of the lunch special bowls, the La Croqueta, which was white rice, black beans, a piece of fried plantain, a bit of chopped tomato, and four pork croquettes (they look like fried mozzarella sticks, but with soft pork filling instead of cheese). I thought it was fantastic. We shared an order of yucca fries that were also good, especially with the sauce, which I suppose was something simple like ranch dressing but I really enjoyed it. The staff were welcoming and helpful. I was surprised that there were few other guests for lunch. But I would absolutely go back for a sandwich or something else from the menu. It looked like there is live music in the evening and other special events some days.

Inside: While the insides a little small, it's super cute, cozy, and has beautiful greenery hanging from the ceiling, giving it that tropical/garden feel. Would make for a perfect date night, but still casual enough to just stop by. They also offer patio seating out front. Service: Both times I've been, we've been seated immediately, and orders taken quickly. It wasn't very busy, since we went on a Sunday afternoon, so I'm not sure how that would compare to a Friday or Saturday night. Pricing: Four a nice meal, I think the pricing is appropriate. For entrées, you'll probably end up spending anywhere between $20-$30 per person, not including drinks. Food and drinks: The main reason that brought us back lol. I love coconut drinks and mojito's, so naturally, I tried the coconut Mojito. As mentioned, this was our second time going, and after I tried the coconut Mojito the first time, I just knew I had to come back for another round. Food wise, I got the skinny Pollo. I always appreciate a nice grilled chicken breast. It's a healthier option, but still full of flavor. Chicken was tender, and love that it's topped with grilled onions. Rice, plantains, and black beans made for delicious sides. Everything was fresh and hot. Looking forward to my next round of coconut Mojitos, and trying some of their other menu options!

We saw a few reviews say we may need a reservation, but we came during lunch/brunch without one (around 12:30), and there were many empty tables. We were seated promptly, and orders were taken throughout the meal at a good pace with what we've ordered. And the food? Omg, we loved it! Some were huge hits between all of us, and other plates were not as memorable, though everything was good. Our favorites were pulpo a la gallega (the octopus was tender and this whole dish was so flavorful and yummy), tostada de higos y queso de cabra (flatbread topped with creamy goat cheese, honey, figs, and arugula that felt light and balanced), and queso frito con miel (fried goat cheese drizzled with honey over caramelized onions-- really creamy, onion-y goodness though I would've liked a little more honey personally). Again, everything tasted good, but some dishes just shine more than others. I will say, I like dates, and I don't really like blue cheese, but the brocheta de chorizo y datiles (bacon wrapped chorizo and date skewer) was quite good! Maybe it's because the blue cheese wasn't as pungent as other places, but the tanginess worked to offset the sweetness of the dates. Of all the brunch items we tried, the mollete tasted the best. The black bean puree spread over the the bread was surprisingly flavorful, and we love a runny yolk. I really wish we had time to try the paella here, but there's always next time. Either here or another location. The live music here is nice. Not too loud (we can still have a conversation), and it's fun when other dining guests get up to dance.

It isn't much to look at from the street, but if you are looking for an authentic Cubano or Cuban coffee, this is the right hole-in-the-wall to stop into. After craving a real Cuban sandwich for 12 straight hours, I woke up salivating for one. A friend had told me about Chiquita and I made it a part of my Sunday errands. I stepped into the store and ordered my sandwich. I was told it would be 7 minutes. I looked around and checked out the grocery items, cold case (packed with pure cane sugar sodas) and other convenience items. I could smell the mojo pork heating up and could not stand the wait. Once I had the sandwich in hand, I didn't care about how hot it was. The bread was perfectly toasted on the outside - practically crumbling away as I bit into it. Slices of ham (the ham was a bit forgettable), swiss cheese, mustard and mayo, chopped mojo roasted pork and pickles (possibly bread and butter - sweeter than expected). The entire sandwich was the perfect combination and so flavorful. Probably one of the best renditions I have had in the city - I'll hit this place up again.

It's a tiny, hole in the wall of a place - from the outside it looks like your average convenience store, but as heads towards the counter/cashier there's a small pastry selection by the check-out and also a small menu board featuring their sandwich selection (as well as a few other items, such as croquettes and tacos). The sandwiches range from $4.50-$7, depending on the type of sandwich ordered. I ordered the Cubano - the standard (Cuban bread, ham, cheese, mayo, mustard), it took about 10 minutes, give or take for the sandwiches to be reading (each order is cut into two quite sizeable halves), and it was well worth the wait. It may be the best Cuban sandwich I've ever had, and without a doubt the best Cuban bread I've had. I typically don't like the bread, because it tends to be hard, but they've got it down to a science at La Chiquita Mic! The cheese was perfectly melted, and the ham wasn't dried out or too salty. The half I saved for dinner was still pretty tasty after going into the microwave as well - a true test of deliciousness! They give you the option for dine-in/to-go but the store is quite small and there are only two small tables inside, so to-go may be the best option. I definitely will be returning to try their other sandwich options - not to mention those croquettes!

The normal fare - Chicken, Italian, Asian, etc... pretty much the same as any food court in any mall. The Cuban place caught my eye. Didn't look to be the chain type place, more of a family outfit trying to make a go of it. After a tasty sandwich sample - we were hooked and had to give it a try. I had the Jerk Chicken sandwich, and my spouse had the traditional Cuban sandwich. My Jerk Chicken was very nice. Moist, tasty, good seasoning, generous portion size. My spouse's sandwich was also quite tasty. Prices were reasonable. Service was quick. Food was fresh, tasty and as advertised - no surprises. Bottom line - it's mall food, but it's good mall food.
