    Mojo pork and chicken/cheese empanada
    Katie S.

    Amazing food and amazing service!!!! We thoroughly enjoyed the food at Nellie's, we had the chicken and cheese empanada, the mojo pork, and the chicken, and all were absolutely delicious!

    Outside!

    Loved this place. I read about it on Yelp and had to go. We are passing through in our way to Portland. We had the Tropical Cubano Sandwich and it was spectacular. Alongside are a few yucca fries and a banana fritter which accompany nicely. We also ordered a side of fried plantains (delicious) we will definitely return!

    So good. Simple, down to earth and my first time having Cuban food! I had the crispy chicken cutlet sandwich. Hefty portion, $15, fantastic crunch on the cutlet with a nice moist interior and an accompanying crunch on the crispy little potato strips. Pretty simple but it gets the job done with immense flavor. The bread is well-toasted and not too thick. Well-proportioned bread to fillings ratio. Casual sit down or to-go atmosphere inside, truly a local gem. Not really any vegetarian or vegan options if that's of concern to you.

    Here for the Cubano, today, and their homemade FLAN! Their flan is worth a visit. Mase from scratch, GENEROUS slices and the absolute BEST Iever had. Cuban/Latin music and Avery relaxed atmosphere after a busy day.

    I loved their Cuban Colada and flan.

    First customer in @ 11AM to Nelly's Cuban Cafe today. I had been waiting a long time for this place to open with hopes it would have been last October. But the wait has been worth it and now they are open for business. I'm going to be flying high after this Cuban Colada (4 shots of espresso and sugar) with a side of fresh flan. The espresso shots are so creamy with a lucious "head". The housemade flan is very tasty and the consistency is smooth. The caramel topping has a nice brown sugar note and isn't too sweet. It was a perfect side to pair with my coffee drink. I also picked up a couple pork empanadas to have at home. They looked great with a flakey crust. The restaurant itself is charming and even though it looks small from the outside, it's very spacious. They also have outdoor seating which will be great when the weather is more conducive to eating al fresco. Trust...

    I like a basic sandwich and this cuban Sammy was delish. Yucca fries had a dry taste but to be expected and they were hot fresh and yummy. Think I wouldve ordered extra ranch or sauce whatever it came with

    Cuban sandwich, guava cheese pastelitos, plantains

    This place is absolutely incredible. They marinate their pork, they make their own sauces, the Yucca fries, the plantains, everything is made with such heart, and you can taste it. Make sure you come to this place if you come to grants Pass or live in grants Pass, there is nothing else that you should be eating. I will be back, literally every single time that I come to grants Pass. The portions are also huge, so if you are trying to get a lot for less while having a homestyle meal cooked in traditional Cuban flair, this is your spot. Don't worry about the service because you will be treated like family here.

    This place was very good! The decor was simple and the menu was just as simple.Order your food and grab a seat. The girl at the counter was very sweet and knowledgeable we chatted for just a minute she answered all my questions about the menu. I loved hearing that they were from Florida as they definitely brought that Florida sandwich shop feel. LOVE IT We got the Cuban sandwich, which was delicious with pickles ,mayonnaise, mustard, ham and pork on their homemade bread no complaints we will definitely be back for one of those. we love Cuban sandwiches and will always look for them. Everywhere we go . My husband and I both got coffee. I got the con Leche and he got the white chocolate coffee we had them hot with the guava cheese pastry on the side and then for dessert we got the flan and the rice pudding no picture of the rice pudding, but they both were very very good! I love that the flan was a great size was not dry and was just perfect. we did grab coffee to go my husband got the white chocolate coffee Iced this time and I got a different one. I can't remember the name, but it was the one with the sweet condensed milk very good. We can't wait to go back and try other items on the menu and stack up on some treats . Thank you for being here.

    1/2 of the Cubano sandwich

    OMG! The Cubano sandwich is hot and tastes awesome! Very friendly service as well. Nelly's is going to the top of my 5 best lunch restaurants in Grants Pass.

    The cafe is at the corner of a4th and I streets.

    I ordered the Lechon Asado - shredded pork with a rice/bean mix; also included a small piece of buttered flat bread. Even after adding some juice from a small lime wedge the porkT didn't have much flavor, neither did the rice/bean mix. Nelly's con Leche Cuban coffee was too sweet for my taste. The menu is on the wall and you order from the counter. This new cafe opened with a low budget as reflected in the very plain furnishings and the use of plastic utensils and paper cups and plates. There is on-street parking.

    We stopped in Grants Pass on our way home from SoCal to Seattle area. I was intrigued by the Yelp…read morereviews and menu. Since we were unfamiliar with Dominican food, we asked for guidance from the owner. He recommended a bowl with yellow rice, fried plantains and red beans. We chose chicken and added the cabbage with avocado dressing. We shared a small bowl while waiting for our MQC sandwich to be made. The bowl was wonderfully flavorful with great textures. We fought over the plantain. The MQC sandwich is an invention by the owner, a fusion of Dominican foods and flavors. We followed his recommendation and chose pork. It was delicious - one of the most amazing meals I have had. The fried plantain "bun", the homemade sauce, the pork, everything was balanced and amazing. The inside is colorful and comfortable. The service was friendly and helpful. The consistent 5 star reviews are legit. This place is a treasure in Grants Pass.

    The food was outstanding. We ordered the small bowls so we would have space for the guava/cheese…read moreempanada (solid choice for a dessert). We had a pork and a beef bowl, both MQC'd, highly recommend as the salami and plantains were a great addition. A friend that joined us after we ordered had the MCQ sandwich, the "bread" is a plantain! He eats there quite a bit, so he knew just what to order-looked fantastic. The nicest couple own the place and were very attentive with their service. The ambiance was very fitting, with an A+++ cleanliness. Do yourself a favor, eat here!!!
