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!

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.

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

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!

Ciro M.

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!

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

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.

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.

Catering ordered from D'Cuban (minus the pandebono)

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)

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

Found this cute little spot in Chamblee. And decided to give them a try because my wife has been looking for the fried beef stuffed potato (papa Rellena) like we had in Puerto Rico. Didn't know a Cuban place would it and I bought 3. Lol. Just in case my wife likes it. The texture and flavor was just actually ok for me but we shall see if she likes it. Also bought the Lechon Asado bowl which is pork bowl. Flavor was really good. Amount could be a little more for the price and less beans and for me, I like chunks of pork not shredded. Price point was affordable and will even go back to try other things. read more

Came here for dinner on a week night and they weren't too crowded. You order at the counter, get a buzzer, and come up to get your food when it's ready. I wish I took photos of the interior because it felt like we were at the beach. Bright colors. The tables are all decorated with news articles. There's not too many tables inside maybe ten so guessing they get some take out business too. I ordered the combo with two empanadas, and a side. I chose plantains and got 6 big slices. They were big but slightly overcooked. The empanadas were large too and done well. The platters looked good and large size so I can't wait to try that next time. read more

This place replaced a fusion taco spot I reviewed some years ago. First off, the latte/cafe con leche is at least on par with Starbucks, probably better. The cheese empanada is fantastic. The chicken empanada is subtle - it reminds me of chicken soup as I eat it, but drier...similar spicing. It doesn't jump out at you. The beef empanada has a nice consistency, more moist than the chicken, and is well spiced. The crust on all is excellent. The fried plantains are fried plantains. If you want 3 leches cake, they have a slice, for $5.95. To me, it seemed very standard, not worth the premium. You could get a cake without icing, throw some whipped cream on top and condensed milk in the container, and get as good a product, enough for a party, for the price of two slices. But it'll scratch that itch if you have it. I came once before and had the Cuban (ham, cheese, mustard, pickles - probably some lime juice marinade on the ham) along with a guava and cheese turnover. I'd say the turnover had a nice consistency and filling, and the sandwich was arguably the best Cuban I've had outside of Miami. No shade on Havana, which is near the corner of Buford and N Druid Hills, and is perfectly decent. Complaints? I wish this place had Ironbeer, and non-disposable silverware. Further notes: decor and music work well. Seems set up primarily for Uber Eats, but it's a nice vibe. read more

Let's make one thing clear: This place is NOT "Miami Style" Cuban restaurant. For someone that's lived in Miami for 27 years - this does not come close to a Miami-Cuban vibe. I would love to know what they consider or what they mean by "Miami-Style Restaurant" on their website. If it's in terms of the ambiance - sure I can see the concept. If it's food, they're totally off grid. For starters, my FIRST interaction with the girl at the counter was mind blowing. I asked if they served "Congri" or "Moro" and she said "What is that?" .. (big sign outside that says "Authentic Taste" and you tell me you don't know what Congri is ?)... it took everything in me to not walk out. Side Note: Congri or Moro is a VERY popular Cuban Rice and Beans dish made a specific way with specific ingredients. In a matter of just seconds after she told me she didn't know what Congri was, I change my mind on getting a platter to something much more simpler for them. I ordered a Media Nochè & a Papa Rellena. Needless to say, the food was O.K at best. Overall if you're looking for AUTHENTIC and FLAVORFUL food, this is NOT the place. If you're in search of a mediocre Cuban themed place, this will do you justice. I have no complaint nor praise of the service - it was simply ok. I would-not not come back, but it also won't be the first place I'd go to when I or anyone I go out with craves Cuban food. I will continue to travel to Tortugas Cuban Grill for my Cuban cravings as they come closest to the authenticity of Cuban flavor I'm used too from Miami. For the record I was super excited prior to coming in as this place is close to we're I live, but I was let down. read more

If you need a Cuban food fix, this is the spot! I'm from South Florida and have had plenty of good Cuban food. This place is definitely a must try. Pro tip: buy a big container of their garlic cilantro aioli sauce. Put it on everything! We can't wait to come back! Atmosphere There's so much to look at in this place. They decorated with basically everything that reminds you of Cuba. The newspaper laminated tables are a nice old school touch. Just a fun causal place to eat some good food. Food Cuban sandwich - Pretty standard and yet pretty good. It's a solid choice if you want something hot and ready to go. Lechon Asado Plate - Very tasty but a little dry. This is where that garlic cilantro aioli comes in handy. It really enhances the flavors. I really liked the white rice, beans and sweet plantains. The rice and beans had a lot of nice flavors and are great accompaniments to the meat. Chicken Palomilla Plate - The chicken was juicy even how thin it was. Grilled onions were really good. Definitely a good choice for anyone who prefers chicken! Yuca Frita - So crispy and creamy! Definitely get this and of course get extra sauce! Mango juice - It was good but it sort of tasted a little store bought. It was still refreshing and a nice added sweetness to your meal. Service Everyone was very nice and seemed busy packing a lot of to go orders. It wasn't very busy when we first arrived but then it started getting busy as we were finishing up. You order your food, set yourself and pick up your order at the counter when they call for you. So there's not much waiting on the table kind of service. But the place seemed clean, lots of younger people working and the food didn't take long to be ready. read more

Amazing food and service! You can self order at the front of the restaurant or I saw others having their orders taken but the self order platform is quick and intuitive. We split a Cuban sandwich ( I do wish there were a way to customize this on the order screen. I always like extra pickles on mine), a chicken empanada, papa rellena (meat stuffed mashed potato ball, breaded and fried) and yucca fries. Everything was AMAZING! The sandwich was crispy and well filled, the empanada was STUFFED with chicken and fried perfectly, papa rellena was tasty but honestly could have used a bit more time in the fryer (meat filling was cool in the middle but it's precooked so it was fine) and the yucca fries were crispy and delicious. Yucca is a starchy vegetable and it fries up like a super crispy potato and STAYS crispy. They have a self service area where you can get water, plasticware, and sauces which I love because I hate bugging people for cups and water. The green sauce is a garlic sauce and they also have a slightly hotter red sauce as well and they both go great on everything. We doused everything with the green sauce and kept all vampires away. Please go give them a try, they are FANTASTIC! read more

This is one of our new favorite restaurants in Chamblee. We tried D'cuban Cafe on a whim for dinner one night and our family loved it so much that we went back a few days later and ordered more food for my husband's birthday. Everything we have tried so far has been delicious. I don't know what they put in the black beans, but I love how flavorful they are! I'm always impressed when a restaurant can take a simple ingredient and really make it sing. Our kids love the beef and chicken empanadas and Cuban sandwiches. I like the vaca frita chicken bowl with salad, beans, fried plantains, and a few plantain chips to scoop it up. Perfect. read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! I am Latin man born on the island of Puerto Rico. Cubans and Boricuas are close in taste and flavor. Believe me this place has none of the above. I ordered lechón asado. The pork was so dry I needed something to wash it down. So for latinos out there what is our must have side dish? Rice right ? Well the portion was meant for a 2 year old. Had to order a side. The maduros were dried out. The beans needed flavor. In other words if you are NOT Latino you may not care if the food is flavorless. However for all Latinos out there stay away. Not worth the money 20.00 for a dish that had no flavor. We need our adobo and sazón in our food. Hopefully they will change. read more

My second time at Azucar, but I think it's safe to say this is my favorite Cuban restaurant that…read moreI've had in Atlanta. I'm Caribbean, so I love any kind of food with tropical flare! 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!

Good portion size, good service, plenty of space…read more Friend and I came on a weekday night for dinner. It seemed like most of their business that evening was through delivery apps or pickup. We were seated immediately and ordered fairly quickly. I got the Lechon Asado, which came with rice, black beans, some plantains, a little salad. I think there's an option to get congri but you need to ask. Everything was delicious. The rice was quite flavorful and not simply plain white rice. The black beans were cooked well without being mushy but just slightly over salted for me. The pork was solid. I even tasted my friend's cubano and it was well done; a little heavier on the roast pork vs ham if you're curious about ratio. I definitely recommend giving it a try if you're in the mood for cuban food and good service. Will have to try the coffee next time.

I'm sure they would make a custom one for you. You get complimentary chips and salsa and the salsa is very good, along with the sauce they give you for the pupusas. It is not very bold or spicy, but goes perfectly!

The tacos are the main attraction here. Al pastor started off strong at 5/5 with a perfect sweet and smoky balance. The tripe tacos were a solid 5/5, grilled perfectly with the right amount of char. The homemade tortillas are the crown jewel here, turning good tacos into great ones. The guacamole is exactly what you expect, simple and comforting while the charro beans are the best I've ever had, seriously. Service is top tier and food is served quickly, which elevates the whole experience. I've been twice and I'll be back for another marg!

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.

We were there on Saturday with small children and never even stayed long enough to order food because the odor was that bad. I used to visit this restaurant years ago and had already noticed signs of decline, but this latest visit made it clear that the conditions have become significantly worse. The bathrooms were dirty, with broken fixtures and obvious signs of neglect. The entire place looks outdated and poorly maintained, as if renovations and upkeep have been ignored for years. The strong smell of mold throughout the building was alarming and made us question the overall condition of the property. It is difficult to understand how a restaurant can operate while allowing customers to be exposed to such an unpleasant and toxic environment. It's disappointing because we love colombian food. Sadly, it now appears that providing clean, safe, and quality facilities is not a priority. We left immediately and chose not to eat there. I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone, especially families with young children.

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. If you are looking for something a little different, something more homemade than chain fast food- it's worth a visit. We'll probably go back later in the week for another lunch.

Since their products weren't fresh, they should have just closed down for the day like Salad Sensations did around 5:00 P.M. I would be willing to give Cubano another chance because my friend said when the food is fresh and the bread isn't hard, the sandwich is great.

Interior wise is pretty casual, and you order at a kiosk before taking a number to wherever you want to sit. They'll bring the food out, but you have to get your own water and utensils. Everyone's raving about the eggplant dish when this place is named for their claypot dishes, but I definitely get it after trying it. It's Not That Eggplant has a nice crisp from the glaze they used to flavor the eggplant, and it's delicious. A little sweet, a little spicy. It's perfectly snack-y and shareable with a lot of flavor that makes me crave getting more, even though it's not going to be filling. For the main, I'd get the pork belly. It's tender and braised in a sweet dark soy sauce, which I love. Not more than the eggplant, but very yummy all the same. I got the claypot that says it has bacon in it, and the rice had a nice aroma from the bacon that worked really well with the pork belly. I also had some of their other offerings. The paocai tofu could use some work. I think the tofu was airfried to give it crunch, but even with the sauce, it felt very dry. The flavor is nice though very nutty, spicy, a little sour. The cha chaan pot was good but could not compare to the eggplant or pork belly for me. I can't get enough of this place, and I've told everyone I know to come here, so then I could eat here as well.
