If you're looking for a no-frills, grab-and-go Cuban spot in Savannah, The Cuban Window is where it's at. Yes, it's tucked in the same parking lot as a gas station (with a few tented seats outside), and no, it's not fancy, but the food more than makes up for it. Growing up in Miami, I'm used to Cuban food on every corner, and while Savannah doesn't have many authentic options, this place comes pretty close. Their Cuban sandwiches are solid and satisfy the craving every time. The other day I grabbed a simple breakfast sandwich--egg and cheese on Cuban toast--and wow. It doesn't look like much, but it was hot, salty, cheesy, and absolutely hit the spot. If you're nearby, especially during work hours, it's worth stopping by for a quick bite. Just don't expect a sit-down experience as this place is all about flavor, not frills. read more

If you like a dive place with two cool guys working and some good eats coming out of the kitchen, this is worth the stop by. Decent assortment of handhelds and some good sandwiches. Sauces for the empanadas and ham croquets are amazing. read more

I've lived in Savannah for four years and this hidden gem is one of the top ten places to get food. The flavors were perfect and the staff was very welcoming. read more

I'll start by I am only speaking about breakfast. This is 100% not Cuban and/or prepared and cooked like a real Cuban restaurant would cook. The food was not bad but very disappointing it wasn't Cuban style. The bread is not Cuban bread either. I cannot speak for the lunch food but breakfast was disappointing. I won't return here. The service was fine. There was only one employee working at the time. I was the only customer there. The building is attached to a gas station so I didn't really care for the ambiance. read more

This little hole-in-the-wall spot completely blew me away. It might look unassuming from the outside, but the food tells a whole different story. The Cuban sandwich was phenomenal--perfectly pressed, loaded with flavor, and honestly one of the best I've ever had. The pork was tender, the ham was just right, and that crisp bread with the tangy pickles and mustard... absolute perfection. read more

Who would of thought that a restaurant in a shady gas station plaza would be so dang delicious?! Don't let the looks fool you!! My friends and I stopped here after drinking at a bar nearby around 11. We were a bit sad that they were out of most sandwiches but we ordered empanadas and yucca fries instead. The empanadas were kind of small but packed a lot of flavor! They had the olives and raisins just how it should be when having a beef empanada! The yucca fries were amazing! They were so crispy and flavorful! The cilantro garlic sauce put them over the top! They took our order fast and it was cooked as ordered. Loved the Miami vibes in a parking lot. I looked at their Instagram and the full plates look absolutely delicious. I will definitely try more the next time I'm in Savannah! read more

Attached to a gas station, small outdoor tables, clean environment. In reality this should be a 3.5. Sadly, This "Ventanita" left a little to be desired for my Cuban heart. The guys at the counter were both quite friendly, after chatting with one of them I learned one was from Havana, so we spoke about where we were from. I asked about the coffee as a coffee lover at heart, I wanted to know about the "cafecito". Here I ordered a colada and a cortadito. A colada is meant to be shared and therefore served with sharing cups - IYKYK. That was not the case here. The cortadito, which comes in sizes? Was too large for a cortadito and I got the small. Flavor profile was ok, but I missed the espumita. Quick counter ordering, no true seating but great for a grab and go option. For food I got the pork , white rice with the black beans and sweet plantains. I will say the Lechon was on point, it was moist and flavorful. The beans and rice were ok, heavy on cumin on the beans and a bit drier than desired. The plantains were ok. We also got empanadas ( both beef and Chicken) and Cuban sandwiches. The bread on the Cuban was not right, but the sandwich overall was ok. They were out of croquetas, so if you want to try that go earlier. ( We were there around 5pm) read more

Great hidden gem off the tourist track. Well worth the Uber to try this lunch counter attached to a gas station. Everything we had was delicious, especially the chickpeas. The sandwich's were exceptional and the cilantro garlic sauce that came with the yucca fries was the star of the show. read more

This takeout embedded in an urban gas station offers Cuban cuisine, with a few vegetarian options. I stumbled into what was billed as black bean sliders. These turned out to be a pressed bread-based sandwich cut into smaller sandwiches for some reason, and filled with a large black bean pattie vaguely reminiscent of falafel, along with some lettuce, tomato, and a vigorous garlic sauce. Salty, but delicious. Curry chickpeas and some pastries and drinks were available as well, and the place had a few tables to sit at and is open long hours. read more

The Cuban Window - #13 black bean veggie sliders - Cuban Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Adjacent to an Econ gas station, a quick pickup of fast food, claiming a Cuban meal. The cafe cortado was heavy with milk so it diluted the expresso and made the taste awkward. The $3.00 side of Cuban toast was not Cuban bread. It was a small hand size loaf pressed of all taste and excessive amount of butter. Totally disappointed. This could have been so much more. Highlights were the 8 yellow counter stools and spotless single shareable bathroom. The 3 outdoor seating was a nice touch. Front server behind the hot tray stations was friendly but multitasking so you better know what you want and have cash or card on hand. Quick to get orders. I'll skip this place next time. read more

If I could give this place 100 stars, I would! Absolutely outstanding Cuban sandwich and plantains! Great vibe, great music, fantastic staff. **Highly recommended** read more

Food is awesome! Cuban sandwich great. Pork was delicious. Beef also. Rice and beans excellent.

Amazing! I always love this spot in Savannah for a late night bite and they Cubans are always phenomenal

I don't know which was better the food or the service. Hole in the wall with delicious breakfast and lunch. Stood at the counter and talked as my breakfast of eggs ham and cheese on Cuban bread was being made. Add the Cuban coffee, which was also delicious, and I could've been sitting in Miami again. I highly recommend this and don't be put off by the gas station, makes parking easy . GO! if you like breakfast sandwiches just try - it I think you'll be happy. read more

We come here every time we are in Savannah! Pretty authentic Cuban food! Portions are big. Inside not much to look at and no tables for seating but still a delicious place to eat! read more

I've heard great things about this restaurant, but I have been here 3 times and I truly can't express how mediocre(at best) the food is. The portions are tiny, especially for how expensive it is. I have gotten the Cuban sandwich and the steak sandwich which are both just lacking any type of flavor. Tonight I ordered the pollo asado and waited for 30 minutes, and when my food arrived it was literally cold. Not lukewarm, but cold. The rice was all stuck together and the chicken was dry and tasted like a store bought rotisserie chicken. They must have just put it in the microwave because it was lukewarm in like 2 spots and cold everywhere else. When I told the worker, he just said they were really busy, but there were only two other people getting food. The only positive thing I can say about this place is that they have great plantains. read more

Cuban Window is one of the best holes in the wall places in downtown Savannah. Not many places are putting out Cuban food in the area, in fact really only one other that isn't worth the time stopping. These guys put out some amazing Cuban pastries and dishes that truly reflect authentic Cuban cuisine. Once you've experienced true Cuban dishes there is no replica and these guys are nailing it. Some of the best croquettes I've had came from them and hands down the best empanadas. All their dishes are a hit but don't forget to order a cafe con leche to go to top off the meal! read more

Recently moved up to Savannah from South Florida & had a craving for an old school Cuban sandwich. I stumbled on this little gem. These sandwiches stack up with some of the best shops on Calle Ocho. Old school friendly service. I'll definitely be back to try their other Cuban Sammies & pastries! read more

They're back and looking better than ever! My boyfriend and I were thrilled when we heard of the return of this cuban gem! The new owners have brought life into this location. This hole in the wall style restaurant has been revamped with checkerboard floors, bright colors and gorgeous new branding! Definitely check out their website it's perfectly represents the vibrancy of the food and the lovey staff. Now to the food, we started off with the classic Cafe con Leche, nothing is better than a Cuban espresso! A must order every time you go! I ordered the #10 Pan Con Lechon and French Fries, more than delighted to have this classic back in my life!!! (Only note is wishing French fries were a little more crispy) My boyfriend got the #3 2 eggs, sausage, bacon and grits, his response "perfectly crispy bacon, buttery eggs and delicious grits". We got there a little before close and ended up getting a little sampling of the other food that you can order in the plates, to say our bellies are happy is understatement! The meats were both so flavorful we couldn't stop eating even though we were plenty full. The coconut curry chickpeas are out of this world, not something I would usually order but definitely now something we will be ordering every time we come back! So grateful to have this back in our rotation and look forward to trying the grab and go's next time we go! read more

This hidden gem was right by our house rental and we quickly fell in love with the food, cafe con leche, and the vibe. Staff was friendly and fun, food was delicious - tried the breakfast combos, breakfast sandwiches, and grilled Cuban sandwich - and the cafe con leche was an absolutely delightful way to start the day. Highly recommend! read more

I'm a Cuban American who is currently away from their family and culture do to school. I came into The Cuban Cafe looking for food even remotely like my families. They beat my expectations. I walk in and the ambiance is super colorful and inviting. The staff was very kind and respectful towards each other and guests insinuating and great work environment. Their owner has remembered me since the first time I walked into this restaurant and had continued to remember me since. However the best part of The Cuban Window are their sandwiches. I did not think I would find an authentic, cuban sandwich in the South, but they truly surprised me. I go to the Cuban Window all the time now because I know I'll always leave a little less homesick and super happy with the food! read more

Closest thing to authentic Cuban in town ... And my partner is 100% Cuban so it's legit! read more

Highly recommend this little gem of a place!! The food is amazing and the cortaditos are delicious!!

Food and service is great! I tried the chicken, beef empanadas. The fried yuka was good as well.

Food was Cuban, just like I remember it from my childhood. The service was maso-meno. The environment is a bit tight, but the food is good.

My little kids who normally just eat chicken nuggets and macaroni had the chicken and beef empanadas at the Super Fine Art Fair. They devoured them and asked for seconds and thirds. The owner of the restaurant was also really kind. All around great food and service! read more

1000/10! Best authentic Cuban food you can get. Just moved here from South Florida and I'll even say, this is kind of better than Miami's Cuban cuisine I've visited when past management was in charge and now with new management... I didn't think it could get any better especially being somewhere NOT in Florida, but it's beyond amazing. The word delicious doesn't even do it justice. The food now really taste authentic and so good that it made my family and I do a little happy dance while eating the empanadas (ask for the spicy sauce too!) I would post a picture of the empanadas but they were gone before I even got the chance to take my phone out! Definitely becoming a regular here. Don't miss out on this! read more

I'm not giving up hope. I was a huge fan of the previous Cuban Window. I went this morning. The large Con Leche was $7.50. The menu lists it as more. The treasure before was great food, authentic, at a great price. The coffee was also too sweet. I know there is inflation and things are expensive but this feels excessive. I hope they figure it out. The place looks cute and Savannah is SO in need of places like Cuban Window, Fingers crossed. read more

Quick service. Tasty food. Large servings. Hole in the wall place just a short walk from Ball St. If we lived nearby we'd come frequently.

We stumbled onto the Cuban Window while visiting Savannah and staying in the historic district. Our breakfast was so good we had to come back a second time and are trying to determine how we can come back for dinner before we leave town. This 80's themed diner atmosphere is a jewel. Amazing food, the staff is beyond friendly and goes the extra mile to accommodate. The owner is amazing. Don't forget to have a cafe con leche. You won't be sorry! read more

Thankfully, we found it and will be back again soon! read more
