Ordered the Cubano sandwich and a cortado and both were among the best I've ever had. The coffee featured a drizzle of chocolate on top that made it absolutely perfect, and the sandwich was massive--two of us shared one, and neither of us could even finish our half! This place was a hole in the wall but once you got past the door it was a very clean, modern interior. Real dishes and silverware. A nice setting that was a surprise. ​The quality of the ingredients and the generous portions make this spot a standout. read more

What a place, looked very tropical, food was good, I had the famous Cuban Sandwich and croquetas. Our server was amazing I believe her name was Celine, very attentive with great attitude, suggested the Virgin Mojito, ( was at work lunch) could not drink but everything was spot on. Ambiance was very typical great cuban music salsa and of course REPARTO!! Will be back for a Friday show. read more

We've been wanting to try this place for awhile now..... and I'm so happy we popped in here on this random Wednesday afternoon.... Absolutely awesome!!!!! The food the ambience the drinks everything's top notch our server Victor was absolutely incredible and his recommendations were spot on. I can't more strongly suggest and endorse a restaurant than this! Five Stars all day long 5.0 !!!! Great Job Victor and Team!! Chris and Sophie Wells read more

I'm a sucker for Ropa Vieja and this one was delicious! I ate the beans, the maduros, and white rice! I also tried the Cuban sandwich and it's honestly the best one I've had. It was a lovely place to try during the week. They only had 1 person serving and working the front but she did an amazing job and was so kind. I like that they have live music on Fridays so I'll have to come back to check it out. It was nice, quiet spot and I truly enjoyed my first visit here. read more

Came here for the first time on a very excited note, however, that was not the case. The food is over priced and they serve what called kids size food. I ordered Vaca frita with yuca and arroz congri and a fruit shake. The congri came cold but tried to eat it and couldn't. The vaca frita meat came cold as well and I tried to eat it cold as well but I felt like I was going to get sick. I called the lady waitress and explained to her that my food was cold. She took my plate and a few minutes later, the same food came back. Rice was as hot as it should've been but the vaca frita meat was a little warm. I ate it because I was hungry but, I won't be visiting this place that I was hoping with excitement and expectations. Recommendations: 1-if you're going to charge over $17 for a very small amount of food that includes a very small amount of cheap rice and flavorless vaca frita, it should at least be served hot to customers. Additionally, your portions are for kids. My wife had to ask for more yuca since she was given three pieces for a plate that cost $17. I have attached a photo of Vaca Frita! The place is small and they have a Latin American grocery store next door! In closing, this is one of the few places that I have given a two or less stars and would hope that you take this constructive review to improve your food portions & prizes. read more

The restaurant is located next door to a Cuban grocery store. It has a colorful outside exterior and inside is a quant and welcoming spot with steady traffic. The staff is friendly and attentive. I ordered the Cubano sandwich with fries and my friend ordered the pork plate with Yucatan fries and plantains. The food arrived quickly and was seasoned well. The portion and the value was spot on. My sandwich was big and the bread was excellent. Crusty and soft at the same time. Her pork was tender and she really liked her food. A cool spot to check out. read more

We happen to be in the area of Converse at the Cuban grocery store and we saw that this restaurant next-door so we walked in because we figured it was a Cuban restaurant. It's a very cutely laid out restaurant with room for quite a few people. The staff was accommodating and friendly. We were the first I guess to come in at mid afternoon and we were well taken care of. We ordered the Cuban sandwich to divide between my wife and I. We also ordered some empanadas and I had a "café con leche" which was very good and well-made. The Cuban sandwich was one of the best. I have tried in all of San Antonio so I would most likely recommend this restaurant to anybody who is looking for a very good Cuban sandwich. Our server was more than welcoming and wanting to make sure that our request was adhered to, and it was. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the Cuban sandwich, therefore you'll have to just go there and try it. We will definitely return to this restaurant although it's a bit away from where we live. It was well worth the trip. read more

Usually this restaurant cooks pretty decent Ropa Vieja (shredded beef), but yesterday it wasn't so good. Also their Cuban sandwich was okay. My biggest complaint was their Piña Colada a 4 ounce glass with disgusting piña colada from a bottle instead of homemade they added the rum and the worst part of it I got an allergic reaction the next day. I woke up with swollen eyes and $13 per cocktail. What a rip off. I've been supporting this establishment for a while now. Not anymore. When you serve your costumers do it with pride and not because you want to screw your customers with crappy food and cocktails. read more

From the moment we walked in, the service was incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. The food was absolutely amazing, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The entire place was also very clean and well kept, which made the experience even better. I'm already excited to bring my mother in law here for her birthday. read more

Being a Cuban from Miami, I am disappointed in myself for not knowing there was a Cuban restaurant just minutes from my house. This place is hidden and almost missed it. The staff here is very friendly and the restaurant has some very nice decor, cool modern style. We ordered the Q Bola basket and a Cuban sandwich. The basket came out quick but the sandwich did take a bit long. However it was worth it! All if it was freshly made, tasted like real good Cuban food! Q Bola got this Cubans seal of approval! We will be regulars here! read more

First time here and I was craving a Cuban sandwich since my trip to Florida. Was a bit confused as you can't see the restaurant from the street. It is right next to China Express and right next door is also a small Cuban market. I didn't check it out though. I came here for the sandwich only, but I did order the Cuban croquettes. Ambiance was calming and cozy. I came on a Saturday afternoon and it was empty. You can still see the Halloween decors. It looks like they have a small selfie area or something. Nice wall decorations and I love the penny bar countertop. Really cool! I ordered my food to go and the wait time wasn't too long. Maybe a good 10-15 minites. Service was nice and friendly. I didn't have any problems with them. They speak English too. The croquettes were good, decent, with the basic mayo-ketchup dip. Nothing that stood out to me, but still good. The Cuban sandwich was just okay, not something I will order again. I didn't have too much of a high expectation, but I also didn't expect it to be meh. One of my favorite things of a Cuban sandwich is the pickles. This sandwich didn't have much pickles, just a few round cuts of pickles like what you would get from ordering a hamburger. It could use more swiss cheese also. The fries that came with the sandwich were not salted either. Overall, it was a simple Cuban sandwich that didn't have the wow factor for me as it had in Tampa. Would I recommend? Not sure yet. I would like to order other menu items to really decide if this restaurant is something I would recommend. Would I go back? Yes, I'm open to trying other menu items. read more

First time going to a Cuban restaurant and it didn't fail. The food was delicious and very flavorful. I got the Cuban sandwich and it was perfect. It was light, not heavy and perfectly well balanced. Our server was attentive and nice- no complaints there. It's a great restaurant for lunch or an early afternoon dinner. Haven't gone at night, but they had a small stage at the front- not sure for what. One of people with me is Cuban and he verified the food was authentic and would go back again! read more

The Pan con lechón was not good, the cuban sandwhich was slightly better but I would not say great. The Waitress was very sweet.

I love this place since it offers authentic Cuban food. Today, I had the roast pork with Moro rice and yucca. It was amazingly delicious and reminded me of Cuban restaurants in Miami. The waitresses are extremely nice and friendly. If you love Cuban food you won't be disappointed. read more

Hoy tuve el placer de descubrir un pedacito de Cuba en este maravilloso restaurante, y qué experiencia tan inolvidable. Desde el momento en que entramos, nos sentimos como en casa. El ambiente es acogedor, impecablemente limpio y lleno de esa calidez que solo los lugares con alma pueden ofrecer. La comida fue sencillamente espectacular. Comenzamos con unas croquetas de jamón crujientes por fuera y cremosas por dentro, un bocado lleno de nostalgia y sabor. Luego, nos deleitamos con un sándwich de bistec perfectamente sazonado, una pizza de chorizo que nos sorprendió gratamente y, para cerrar con broche de oro, el plato completo: cerdo lleno de sabor, acompañado de un congri perfectamente equilibrado, yuca suave y con un poquito de mojo, y una ensalada fresca que complementaba cada bocado. Todo estaba riquísimo, preparado con amor y autenticidad. Pero lo que realmente hizo la noche especial fue la atención. La mesera nos trató con una amabilidad genuina, siempre atenta y con una sonrisa que hacía sentir el calor de la hospitalidad cubana. Y el dueño, qué decir... su pasión por su cocina y su negocio se siente en cada detalle, en cada plato servido con orgullo y cariño. Si buscas un rincón donde disfrutar de la verdadera esencia de la comida cubana, este es el lugar. Volveremos sin duda, porque experiencias así no se encuentran todos los días. ¡Mil gracias por transportarnos a Cuba con cada sabor! read more

I went to this Restaurant with my family and it looks like there was a new waitress. The service was terrible. She never came back to ask us how was the food or anything. We kept waiting and waiting and she brought everyone's food except my uncle. We waited and waited and when we asked her about the food, she said that he never ordered. But in reality, she did not take our order properly. I consider that bad service and rudeness. It's pitiful because we go there often. The next time if she is there, we will get to another place. read more

Very nice to find a cuban place in the city! Everything is Puerto Rican. Too bad it's so far from me: regardless the experience was awesome! Calm night so not many people.

Q' Bola - Cuban Sandwich, plantain chips, fries. Shrimp Enchilado, fried yuca, white rice - Cuban Near Me - Converse, Texas

This little place was cute but the food is bland. Ordered the vaca frita and it wasn't good at all. Dry, flavorless, and cold entirely. The congri was good but it was cold, the only good thing about the platter was the maduros. The cook was also being very rude and disrespectful to the waitress who was great and trying to do her job. That also added to the negative energy at the restaurant. The only good part about the experience was the waitress and the maduros. She deserves a raise for being able to hold her composure and remain professional when being disrespected by a fellow colleague. And the cook deserves to be fired for making bland disappointing food, being unprofessional, and disrespectful towards a co worker. On top of that the food made my stomach hurt so bad, I've been on the toilet the whole time since eating the food. So not only is the cook disrespectful but also dangerous behind the grill because clearly the food wasn't okay. read more

Not authentic Cuban cusine!cuisine! I meant! Ropa Vieja? No taste, old meat! Arroz con gris? Naahaaaa! Only the color looks good! Yuca con mojo? Horrible! Cold as a dead body! Batido de Mamey? Horrible taste. Never again! read more
