Ordering is simple; you can order at the counter or use one of the kiosks. Once your food is ready, they bring it directly to your table. I also appreciated the self-serve stations for sauces, water, utensils, and to-go boxes. I'm usually not the biggest fan of Cuban cuisine, but was in the area and decided to give it a try anyway. I was pleasantly surprised. Everything I ordered was better than expected. I went with the Combination Sampler, which is great if you want a little taste of everything. It came with a chicken empanada, papa rellena, fried yuca, ham croquettes, sweet plantains, and tostones. Overall, everything was prepared nicely. The only item I wasn't crazy about was the chicken empanada, which tasted a little plain and dry on its own. However, once paired with the sauces, it was much better. Speaking of sauces, they offer plenty of options at the sauce station. My favorite was the creamy cilantro sauce, which paired well with almost everything. They also had ketchup and mayo; perfect for dipping the crispy yuca fries. Along with a spicy sauce that definitely brought the heat. My go-to Cuban dish is usually a Cuban sandwich, but I didn't get a chance to try theirs this visit. Based on the rest of the meal, though, I'd definitely come back for it next time.

It was the exact OPPOSITE! I ordered the lechon with comes with Black beans, rice and plantains. The rice - gummy gelatinous exterior, not fresh. The beans - The slightest of flavor and a 2 out of 5. They were not watery which only good thing about it. The plantains - The only item that was fantastic. It had a burnt slight crisp on the outside and were actually the best plantains I've ever had. I had to mix little bites of them to be able to eat any of the food. The lechon - in the photos they look really good. Even the photo I took did not look the same as in person as it shows on camera. Pale in color (old not fresh), dry and horrible flavor if I can even call it that. What a huge disappointment overall. The good: The girl cashier was nice and helpful when we asked if the dirty table could be cleaned before we sat. It's a cute interior to grab a quick bite. Music was good. They make fresh empanadas to order.

It was early so the dining room had only two or three occupied tables and no one at the bar in the back yet. I was greeted immediately and waited a short time for my order to be ready. All the way home I could smell delicious odors from the bag! I ordered Churrasco de Entrada which is grilled skirt steak with chimichurri sauce and two sides. The steak was amazing! Tender, juicy, melted in my mouth. I had grilled vegetables and baked potato for sides. The vegetables were a mixture of broccoli, cauliflower, pea pods, carrots, and zucchini. They were cooked well and flavored with garlic. The foil packet of potatoes contained three small round potatoes also perfectly cooked through not seasoned at all. The meal came with three small dinner rolls and a few packets of butter. Everything was flavorful and delicious; garlic was quite strong though which I loved but might not be everyone's liking. I also ordered Alfajores from the bakery section for dessert. These are little sandwiches with soft shortbread cookies on the outside and soft dulce de leche and coconut filling between them.

The food is good, I liked the quality of the chorizo and the skirt steak was grilled properly. I wished the fries were "fresh-cut", I understand that frozen fries are easier but a good steak deserves good fries.

The owner is probably paying his for his second vacation home by now and you want to harass me for doing the bare minimum on a basic pick-up order.

I remembered that one of my cousins had brought me here before for food, so I was expecting a decent experience. Unfortunately, today's visit was absolutely disappointing. I placed an order for oxtails, but they were out of mac & cheese, collard greens, and cabbage. The employee also mentioned they only had one dumpling left. What I don't understand is how a restaurant can be out of multiple sides that are supposed to come with the meal, yet still charge full price. The meal alone was $35. My son wanted additional items, so I still ordered food for him, but because the side options were so limited, I decided not to order anything for myself. In total, I ended up spending around $45, and the whole experience was just very disappointing. I really could've just bought the ingredients and made the meal myself, but I've been busy working in the house and handling a few projects, and before I realized it, the day had already gotten late. That's the main reason I decided to stop and buy food instead. Honestly, I guarantee I wouldn't have spent nearly as much making the meal myself as I ended up spending purchasing it there. To make matters worse, the employee serving us came across very nonchalant and unconcerned, which only added to the frustration. Overall, this is not a place I see myself visiting again anytime soon, if ever.

...I don't know what took me so long to return here ! I enjoyed seeing their new bar up front. They must be growing because it was not there last time I came here. Historic Norcross is a great place to take your significant other. Now on to the review: -Greeted by a spiffy looking young man, and promptly seated. We requested the table out front to view the trains passing by. -Server was genuinely friendly and got us our mojitos (which they make very well in this place). Mojitos are not too tart but not too sweet. Well done! -Server suggested appetizer special but I just can't stay away from their empanadas. This time we ordered the empanada sampler. One of each. Chicken empanada was juicy and very well seasoned. I am not much of a vegetarian but the spinach and mushroom empanada was ok. The wife loved it. My favorite, though, are the beef! -Entree: I was guilty for not trying a new appetizer so I decided to go with the Ox-tails for entree. I do not know if it is ox or cow meat but the sauce ! Ooooh the sace. This was one satisfying meal and it made me happy to have tried something new that I liked. Will be ordering again without a doubt. Wife had the stuffed rice. It is like a Cuban version of a lasagna, but instead of pasta it is yellow rice. Serving size was huge so we had to take half of it home. I'll post a later review to let y'all know how well it tasted as a midnight snack. -Dessert: Guava-Cheesecake. You can tell it's home-made. the texture is gentle yet rich. I couldn't get over how well the guava and cheese meld together. I ordered another slice to go for later (midnight snack) but was told they had sold out ! boo hoo. One can feel the family atmosphere around the place. Definately not a corporate chain, and we are definately coming back more often. read more

We are new to this Yelp thing but have been made believers! We have recently moved to the area and the reviews of this restaurant were pretty good so we decided to give it a go... ...first of all, Downtown Norcross is very beautiful and we will certainly be trying out other establishments...Now on to Mojito's : The place is small but has a lot of character. We were seated in the room by the window and had a great view of the railroad tracks and caught the Amtrack passing by ! Very good ambiance. -Appetizer was their Empanada "Sampler"...This was most excellent with their spicy habanero hot sauce! I liked the chicken ones the best. I tried the spicy ox tail and was thrilled to be taken back to my childhood. The sauce that it is prepared in is rich and hearty! And I can't imagine I will trying anything else anytime soon. My wife had the Paella and I, of course, had to eat half of it. The rice was moist and and well spiced. For dessert we tried the Guava-Cheesecake and it was amazing also! We had no room for any after dinner drinks or coffee, and were told by our server that there is live music on Fridays and Saturday nights. -We will be back ! read more

My friend has been wanting to go and eat at Mojito's since it has become a name. As for me another great upset. We went for lunch today and she had the Pan con Bistec con 3 over sized tostones and I had the Media noche with white rice and black beans. Our cokes came shortly after and close to 20 minutes later our lunch. The bread on the media noche was hot and the rest was an ice box.. the rice was as thick and sticky and lumpy as old oatmeal and when i tasted it i could tell that the cook had let the rice burn it had a taste. I asked for another rice and was brought a yellow rice which was horrible in taste and the beans had the taste of canned beans with vinegar added, as for the pan con bistec it was hard and no taste. The bill was 25.06 for food we did not even enjoy. The place was packed for the simple reason that it has the name already and most that go there are not familiar with real cuban food.. sad to say the same happens with mexican food. 5 hours later and we are still sick to our stomachs and we ate very little of the food. not going back 3 time and out! also very expensive for the quality. Nothing yummy about the food at all!!! read more

While I don't think that I can call it the "best" Cuban food I've had in Atlanta it was pretty damn good. Since I was in the area looking around and it was lunchtime I wanted to get something that was "chain-based" for my meal. I generally enjoy Cuban food and I had never heard of this place I figured that this would be as good as any place to stop. Since this wasn't on the Buford Hwy side of Norcross I thought this place would be more Americanize but to my pleasant surprise, it wasn't. Got the Empanizado with the black beans and rice, there were also plantain slices which were so good I could have used a plate of those by themselves. The place is nice and cozy and later on in the day has live music. This would be an awesome place to come for a nice spring or summer night. I have to keep this place in mind when the weather warms up. read more

My husband and I just left Mojito's for dinner. I gave it two stars only because the food is always amazing. The service tonight wasn't great and I was even more disappointed in their new strawless policy that they aren't following. I was excited when we walked in and I saw the poster hung behind the hostess advertising a 'strawless Norcross'. Normally I ask for no straw but didn't because of the poster. After we both ordered drinks, the waiter brought us our cocktails and waters with straws in both drinks. A total of FOUR straws which we didn't ask for. I looked around and noticed everyone had straws in their drinks. The customers that came in after us didn't ask for straws but were served drinks with them regardless. If you are going to hang a poster promoting a new policy, stick with it Mojito's! read more

Upon entering this establishment, we were immediately captivated by its charming ambiance. The hostess greeted us warmly and seated us promptly. Our server, with a cheerful disposition, informed us of the happy hour specials from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, during which all beverages were offered at half price. We opted for a strawberry mojito and a passion fruit, both of which were exceptionally delectable. The paella, served individually, could easily accommodate four individuals. Additionally, the Pork Loin (Lechon) and a Cuban sandwich were highly recommended. Each dish exceeded our expectations and left us thoroughly satisfied.

The food at Mojitos is good, it's the service/atmosphere that needs work. My date and I sat on the back patio for an early dinner yesterday. There was no music/stereo playing out back, so it felt like we were eating dinner inside a library. Our waiter, who oddly enough looked exactly like Jane's Addiction front man Perry Ferrell, was hit and miss. We kept hearing him cuss about other customers to himself, sometimes in Spanish.

Drove there at 6 am and immediately had a blast. - The setting is actually quite a step up from holes in the walls, its a colorful family diner. A lot of customers in the morning going in and out. The menus are clear and filled with helpful pictures. - The food? Absolutely fantastic, most are only slightly above $10 including a robust assortment of soups and combination meals. They give you very generous portions that are colorful and well cooked and it's a steal. I ordered a Churrasco meal (steak) and it came with a side of slaws and a giant relleno pepper and a good steaming stack of small corn tortillas to make your own tacos. A total delicious package. When i left, watching the orange suggestion of dawn crept up the car windows with a happy belly I didn't think about the original restaurant i was after at all. Xela Pan- even in the early hours of dawn had been a 10/10 feast, and I despite everything, the morning was made perfect. This experience is yours as well- for with less than a standard meal price from IHOP or WaffleHouse, you can have a much more heroic feast here instead.

Overall it was okay. The cheese dip had a strange aftertaste which was a little disappointing…read more My friend didn't care for much on her plate except for the homemade tortilla. We both also didn't like our rice. The saving grace was my homemade tortilla chicken tacos. The chicken was seasoned well, tender, and flavorful. You could tell the tortillas were freshly made, and that made a big difference. That's honestly what earned this place a 3/5 for me. Service was good but the food was definitely hit or miss.

The food itself is a small buffet but has great options which I find they change every so often.

For drinks, same concept, it is unlimited but you have to go up to the the lady at the fountain. The food is delicious and the price is fantastic. Definitely worth a visit!

It's sad to say that customer service is not their priority. They are sometimes rude. Last time we went, they served my sister-in-law a hot dog if she can tell that the hot tub was from the day before and he was hard when we asked for a different hotdog they gave her the same bun and just replaced a hotdog. I wish I would have confronted them about this, but I didn't feel like arguing and in the end, my sister-in-law got sick for the rest of the day stomach issues.

(the corn sauce is really good btw!)
