Entrance to restaurant LaCubanita

Definitely a place to have authentic Cuban food while in Merida. Food is great! Tastes delicious. I'm Puerto Rican and my wife is Cuban so for her to say it was the best Cuban food while here in Merida will tell you a lot. This is the place to go to for lunch. In fact we are having lunch there again today. Good food. Good service. Good prices. 8:30 to 4pm lunch begins at 12.

The Cuban Sandwich.

Authentic, home-cooked Cuban food. Cheap, large portions, quick and very friendly service. It's a home restaurant, and the setting is really cool in my opinion. The dishes vary, and what's available is what's available. You definitely won't leave hungry, and you'll probably want to return. I've been there twice now, I wish it was closer to my home!

The food is really good at this casual restaurant - We came for breakfast and I had a Cuban sandwich that was big enough for 2 people. Coffee is also very good and prices reasonable. I'll be coming back for lunch soon

La Cubanita

Great food at a reasonable price. We thoroughly enjoyed an omelette and scrambled egg brunch. The ingredients were very tasty: cheese, eggs, ham, onions and tomatoes. The baguette with butter was sliced thinly and toasted. The owner was most pleasant, as was his family, whom we got to chat with (in Spanish) briefly. Breakfast is served till noon with lunch commencing at that time. The luncheon menu changes daily and is posted outside on a blackboard. As a reminder, there are only five tables in this tiny restaurant which has superb food. Come for the food and not the ambience.

Fried beef

Wow. This place is fantastic!! Great tasting food and big portions! I had the fried beef. Big serving of rice and seasoned shredded beef that was great. Plus beans salad and fried plantains all for 80 pesos!!! I will be back many times to try all the different dishes!!!

Lunch special, 70 pesos -- chicken, potatoes, rice, plantains, lentil soup. So tasty, I was so full, and only about $3!

I ordered one of the lunch specials and it was a huge pile of tasty food--very home-cooking look and flavors--for only 70 pesos! The owner was really nice, spoke English, the place is very quaint. They have free wifi, just ask for the login.

Food good, prices low. I did not feel welcome here, however, and I do not plan to return.
