Beni's Cubano

I stopped there for lunch and was unsure what to try from the Cuban cuisine. I decided on the ropa vieja, and it did not disappoint. The meat was juicy and flavorful, and the portion size was generous.

Experience eating two Cuban sandwiches for $30. Taste is excellent, a little dry, however, we were overcharged on two small side of plantains for $5 each. No complementary water had to go next door to Chick-fil-A for a cup of water. Unfortunately, I set down my head visor and it was taken a few minutes later. Staff claim they never saw it. The food court has homeless people and a small army of police. Keep good situation awareness. I won't be going back.

Great Cuban place in the food court. Pretty quick service, and tasty food.

Great food, great service. I got the Sully Sandwich. I have never had anything like it. Very delish. Eggs, chicken, jalepenos, cheese and arioli sauce. I couldn’t resist. I also got the beans and rice and plantain as sides.

Located in The Hub (underneath the building in the food court). The Cuban sandwich was outstanding- the pork super favorable. And the Madurai’s were soft and sweet. Easy spot to grab a lunch!

My husband had the Cuban sandwich and I tried the chicken empanadas and the Cuban eggs. The food was amazing and even though this place is in a food court, the food is fresh and there is a little wait time. The Beni’s sauce is also worth the visit!

Decided to get breakfast today and found Beni’s. Best breakfast ever! These are hand breaded fried chicken pieces. I saw them make it fresh and the chicken is cut down to be perfectly tasty (no chewy tendons or excess fat). The breading has a spicy kick to it that compliments the french toast. The food came out super quick for such fresh food. Definitely recommend because it was only $8 and it was the best homemade chicken i’ve had in a long time.

I was visiting Atlanta and decided to see who had a good Cubano. Google Maps took me here, and I was a little taken aback that it was a mall food court. The sandwiches are definitely awesome, myself and my lady friend were very impressed. Their food is definitely worth the quirky environment.

While I wasn't overly impressed with the Cuban sandwich, the ropa vieja was so good (especially for a "fast food" place) that I ate here THREE times when I was in Atlanta for Dragon Con over Labor Day weekend. They also worked whatever (usually small) line they had pretty fast and when I asked for some salt even gave me a little container of some sort of special/seasoned salt. Definitely worth a stop if you're looking for some good quick not overpriced food in downtown Atlanta!

This local gem located at Peachtree Center is my go-to when I'm craving something heavy and satisfying! The service is always warm and friendly, and the food is packed with flavor. Their small-batch cooking style sets them apart from other Cuban spots--it's why everything tastes so fresh and delicious. Only wish? Slightly bigger portions for the black beans at the current price, but honestly, the quality makes up for it! They've got bread pudding for dessert, but I'd love to see a tres leches cake on the menu someday. Overall, this place hits the spot every time!

Definitely a solid spot for an affordable sandwich without all the bells and whistles but a solid flavor! Staff was helpful and friendly while also giving their own recommendations. It's in a food court area so don't expect much in the way of a great ambiance, but hey, a sandwich is the ultimate to go food! Definitely recommended as a solid quick lunch.

This is right inside The Hub space next to Marta and across from the CVS. Within good walking distance to Westin and connected to both Hyatt and Marriott. The stall is quick, you have several sando options to pic from and if you're not eating Pork, they have a Havana Sanwich made with pulled beef instead of Pork. Solid options. The have maduros as well, which are fresh and tasty. I got the Cuban and I'm in love at first bite. It's pressed, it has a crunch to the bread with a good chew and solid flavor all around. Sandwich was $12.50 and the maduros were $4! Which is a steal considering most Cubans at other locations in Atlanta are about $16-18 by itself Service was quick and painless on a good Dragoncon weekend.

Amazing food and very fast customer service even during lunch rush. Everything was well seasoned and tasted amazing. I got the ropa vieja and it was delicious. Only wish they'd add more plantains as they only gave me 2 and one crumb of one :( overall I'd still highly recommend.

I came to Beni's it is inside a food court. Easy to find the food was okay. It was nice and hot, the staff was very pleasant. I ordered the plate of ropa vieja. I can honestly say I've had better, there was not a lot of flavor in the meat. The rice and beans were good. The place was clean, you can see inside while they are serving and preparing your order at the counter.

Fresh food court meal. You order in line and find a seat. If you want something for everyone THIS is the place - you can get a cuban here, a slice of pizza over there, sushi at another place, a poke bowl, Chik-fil-a, Firehouse sub, a Mediterranean Shawarma, and more. Then meet up at a table and enjoy. We stuck with Beni's delicious food this visit. The chicken and cheese empanada with garlic aioli was delicious! The sauce did not overpower the flavors in the empanada and made a perfect blend for your tastebuds. The cuban sandwich was amazing. It had the right blend of sweetness from the bread and ham, and tanginess from the garlic aioli and mustard. The pork had a good spice blend, while not being spicy. The rice was good. They offer it with black beans but we opted out and just got the rice. They also offer other sides like maduros, plantain fries, corn & black bean salad, etc. The Pan Con Bastic (sandwich) that I got was great! The caramelized onions against the sweet bread and the pork - yum!

Fantastic! The food was hot and fresh! The service was great. The people are very friendly. I work right next-door and sometimes I forget about this place because they are right next to a Chick-fil-A, which normally has a really long lines. Every time I come here it's a good experience.

Not terrible. Typical food court fare. Bread was lacking the texture I was craving. But, it's a food court restaurant.

It's an efficient fast food alternative that's pretty tasty and affordable. Service is friendly. Tried the cubano and beef empanada. I'd definitely go again if I'm ever in the area.

I didn't have the great experience here that most other reviewers appear to have had. I felt my mojo chicken was quite overcooked and a little bitter, and that the sides (rice, beans, and plantains) were fairly average. Also, $14 for a cafeteria-style lunch of modest portion size seemed a little steep (that said, it's early 2022, and I have no idea what things should cost anymore). Service was fast and friendly, though, and I would return to try one of their Cubanos, which looked great.

I love this spot, so glad I found it. It's in the Hub shops underground. I went for breakfast and got the Cuban eggs and a Cuban coffee. OMG - the eggs have veggies in the scramble and come with a side of black beans and cuban bread. They also give a little container of hot sauce that makes everything SING. And the Cuban coffee was SOOOOO good! I had not had any since being in Miami years ago but it had the same effect - I was buzzed with energy for HOURS lol. I wish I had more time to have gone there more. ISSAGO!!!!

My boyfriend and I stopped by for a quick Friday lunch while staying at the Westin Peachtree Plaza around the corner. We weren't sure what to expect from a strip mall vibe restaurant next to a Chick-Fil-A. We ordered the cuban sandwich and ropa vieja, and the food was LEGIT! Juicy and tender meat, good quality ingredients, incredibly flavorful, and generous portion sizes. Would recommend for any other out-of-towners staying in the area!

Stood in line, no one acknowledged me or said anything, I politely asked was anybody ready to take my order still was ignored lol I'm considering it racism... glad I didn't spend my money and neither will my colleagues

I am in town on a business trip when I stumbled across the hub in downtown. One of the places that cut my eye was Beni's Cubano. I haven't had a good Cuban sandwich in a really long time, so I was very hopeful. Beni's did not let me down. Don't let the strip mall fool you, Beni's is legit! The slow roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard and garlic aïoli were spot on. All pressed in the iron to create a crispy crust on the bread. It was perfect!

One of the best sandwiches I've had. Get the Sully sandwitch. Awesome spot. Great service, very clean, and a great value.

The Mall at Peachtree Center's food court - I mean, "The Hub at Peachtree Center" (that's what this place has been rebranded and remarketed as) has really stepped up its game. They've introduced some good new eateries in recent years and Cuban restaurant Beni's Cubano is one of them. Beni's opened in November 2017 and is a product of Southern Proper Hospitality Group, the same restaurant group behind Tin Lizzy's (there's a Tin Lizzy's location at Peachtree Center, upstairs from Beni's) and other Atlanta restaurants like Gypsy Kitchen and The Big Ketch Saltwater Grill. This is the second Beni's to open in metro Atlanta. The original opened in Marietta/East Cobb in June 2017. Beni's has a corner stall near the CVS wing of The Hub. They've completely renovated the stall and it looks updated and modern with colorful, patterned wall tile, Edison lighting, and distressed wood. There are bright, crisp menu displays mounted above and behind a serving counter that features two sandwich presses. You can watch the staff press each sandwich to order. The menu is simple. Beni's offers entrees with yellow or white rice, black beans, and sweet plantains ($13-15 each), salads ($7) with a variety of meat options (plus $5-7), smaller items and sides ($2.50-6.50), sandwiches ($9-13), and mango and other fruit juices ($3). Examples of entrees include mojo-grilled chicken, vaca frita (crispy pulled beef) and ropa vieja (tomato-and-sofrito-braised beef). Examples of some of the smaller items include beef and chicken & cheese empanadas and yuca fries. Beni's also has a small variety of sauces you can choose from including a house sauce that's made from tomato, mojo, sofrito, and hot sauce. I asked the employee behind the counter what Beni's is known for and he said, without hesitation, the pork, so I ended up getting the puerco asado entree ($13). It consists of mojo-marinated pork, grilled onions, peppers, and lime along with rice (I got yellow instead of white), black beans, and sweet plantains. It was delicious. In general, the ingredients were good quality. The pork was terrific. It was tender, juicy, and flavorful. The chunks of meat were thick and hearty. The "peppers" described on the menu turned out to be sliced and cooked red bell pepper. The rice and beans hit the spot. The rice was nice and moist with good flavor. The sweet plantains were yummy. They were warm with a delectable consistency. They were probably my favorite part of the meal. Overall, this was a tasty and satisfying meal. Service was friendly and quick. I would definitely come back.

Was staying at the hotel adjacent to the Peachtree Center and ventured over to the food court. Found this place. Grabbed a good Cubano and corn & black bean salad for lunch.

I really enjoy Cuban food and was really excited when I found out about Beni's. It wasn't too far from hotel so off I went. This location is located in the peachtree mall and very unassuming. Based on the reviews fromyelp, I had to order the empanadas and puerco asado. The platter also came with yellow rice, black beans and plantains. Like others have said, the pork was very moist and had good flavor. I have never had it with peppers but it worked. The plantains were pretty awesome and the empanadas were good. Service was fast and felt that I got a lot of value for my money. If I was in downtown Atlanta, I would make a quick stop. Good place.

The food u got was amazing and didn't lack on the flavor aspect at all.The people were friendly and quick with taking orders as well as making them. I went early as they were opening so everything was fresh, and the staff was cleaning which really showed me why their food score was a 100%. It is like a little corner of Cuba in the food court,from the menu items to the board the menu was on. This place was an overall wonderful experience and I will be going back.

Authentic black beans..... and fried plantains.... delicious.... wish they had sopa de pollo....

Amazing food and service! Beautifully seasoned. I got the ropa vieja with black beans, plantains, and yellow rice. I definitely recommend coming here!

Order food via door dash and my Cuban sandwich combo was delivered without the side item! SMH

Was in the mood for a Cuban sandwich so I googled restaurants near me. Beni's caught my eye because of the good reviews, and distance! It's located in an eatery, very busy area. I valet parked (it was $20). Parking in that area seems complicated, but I was in a rush & it was so worth it! I ordered the Cuban sandwich and it tasted so good! I could not stop eating it lol. Addicting. I also ordered mango juice, it was very good! The service was perfect, and I was happy to find they accepted tap to pay. Will definitely be back again to support the business, and try more of their food.

The Cuban sandwich, empanadas, black beans and rice and Cafe con Leche were all so good! Definitely ignore the slow chic fil next to it.

I absolutely love this place! Best Cuban sandwich IMO. I actually miss working Downtown because of Beni's! I wish they were open on the weekends but its worth a trip during the week:)

Hands down the BEST Cuban sandwich in Atlanta! I split my time between Atlanta and south Florida and have been to several Cuban places in both cities. For the Cuban sandwich, Beni's cuts the juicy roasted pork full of flavor in front of you instead of using sliced lunchmeat like most Cuban restaurants. I have had the Ropa Vieja and Puerco Asado and again, amazing flavors and good portions! If you have never had Cuban food, the flavors are amazing. For those that fear the cuisine is spicy, it is not at all, just delicious food made with love! Beni's gets 5 stars across the board! -- Illuminati Antiques

Not a bad thing which at all, food was pretty good and the greens were green and crunchy. Which is always a good sign, however I paid nearly 8 dollars for chicken sandwich. Definitely overpriced, even if I decided to add a drink and sides I will definitely be paying over $11 and that's a little too much for a drink, sandwich and sides. If I were to come back I will probably just try the Cuban sandwich But that's about it.

I went to this place with a friend to try their Cuban sandwich; I am personally a fan of Cuban sandwich and try them at as many places as possible. I liked the taste but I can say without hesitation that this is not the best in town. However, if you are nearby and wish to try this, not the worst place either. For all of you who want to try this out; personally I look for three major qualities in a Cuban sandwich: the flavor of pork, freshness and the crunchiness of the break and the condiments (taste and proportion). I was extremely pleased with the flavor of the meat and the spices and condiments, though I do feel a little more time in the stew would have made the pork taste even better. But they need to switch to better fresher breads. The delicious stuffing was lost in between the bread that felt a little dull and stale. All in all, a decent place.

Beni's Cubano at Peachtree Center in Atlanta is a great place for all things Cuban food that is ready quickly when you are on the move and you want a quality meal. Everything here is delicious, flavorful, and well prepared and a good option for something different. The staff here is very friendly and works hard to make sure that you get your order efficiently. They are well worth it for good Cuban food.

Walking around downtown for the first time in years, I popped into the Peachtree mall(now called the Hub). There was little wait given the new COVID world and I was excited for the opportunity to try Beni's. The gal behind the counter recommended the Cuban with gusto. I for one am glad she did. Watching her assemble the sand which, I was less than impressed. Deli ham and serving station didn't instill confidence. I did hear the customer ahead of my ask for a side of house made hot sauce and extra aioli. That's a PRO tip. The sand which was fantastic. The pork was so tender and well seasoned. The bread was grilled perfectly without being over cooked. By itself I would have given the Cuban 4 stars but when you add the hot sauce...oh man! I am very satisfied with my care from Beni's.

I wish they had more vegetarian options, but the veggie empanada is great and they're always friendly! Make sure you ask for one of their sauces on the side, they are A+. Way better food than you'd expect for a mall food court, won't be a waste of your time to check it out! I haven't tried it myself, but my husband says the Cuban sandwich is excellent and I've heard the same thing from everyone else who has tried it!

Awesome food and service! I had ropa vieja with rice and fried plantains. It was delicious!

This food stall is cute. The graphics and sign are very nice. The walls are painted and pretty. The menu looks good and has a variety of choices. Perhaps too many choices for the size of the food stall. The food is average at best. The empanada had a good flavor but it was too cheesy and didn't have enough chicken inside. It also wasn't hot and fresh. The bread being used for the Cuban sandwich is a let down. It wasn't pressed long enough or hard enough. A Cuban should be pressed! The garlic aioli was good. The pork inside the Cuban sandwich was pretty good but needed to be cut into thinner slices on the sandwich. The slices I had were about and inch and a half thick. If this restaurant slims down there menu and focuses on providing a few great items rather than several average items then this will be a great spot for lunch. The only thing that turned me off of the restaurant was the lack of gloves being used. The woman making my food used gloves, but the man handing her my food didn't use gloves. Use gloves.

Very tasty sandwiches. Rice and beans weren't my fav, but will def be back for a sandwich and the corn and bean salad.

Beni's Cubano in Peachtree Center is perfect for an easy lunch. Cuban sandwich with roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard and garlic aioli on a Cuban roll pressed until slightly crispy, whoa nelly as a very good buddy used to say. Didn't go with any sides this day but everything looked great. Give Beni's a shot. I will definitely return.

Very good simple, hot and flavorful food! The chicken is hot and flavorful and so are the beans. The star of my meal were the fried plantains!

I. LOVE. Beni's! I stumbled upon this little gem because I was really in search for the Streatery hot dog cart. After looking up and down the street for this cart, I decided to make my way into Peachtree Center Mall (which,sidenote, is really looking like something these days!) After laying eyes on Beni's i decided I would try their Cuban sandwich. I hadn't had one in quite some time, and the more I thought about it the more delicious it sounded. I was far from disappointed! By the time I walked up the lunch time rush had ended so it was just me. Everyone behind the counter was just so nice and made sure they were very attentive. I ordered my Cuban sandwich and a cup of mango juice. Little did I know the magic that was about to happen in my mouth! When I tell y'all that this sandwich made me feel so sexy inside!? It really should be illegal... The pork was moist and the ham was salted just the right amount; the garlic aioli was delicious... all the flavors came together so well on that sandwich. I believe my first visit was somewhere in the beginning of May; I've already been back several times since then. It's already quite a walk from my current job location. We're moving soon and all I could think about was how much further will be to visit Beni's in the coming months. I really hope they continue to do well!

Great food, reasonable prices. I'm not a big fan of downtown Atlanta for obvious reasons. But if you must go, this is a definite stop over that will make you smile..

I walked into mall to get out of the coldest day in recent history. Found Beni's Cubano! I always get the Cubano sandwich to compare with others, but this time I went for the Vaca Frita plate. Roasted beef with onions, peppers and lime juice. Yellow rice, black beans and sweet plantains! Excellent! They do it right! Don't know about the Cubano, maybe next time, but this plate was delicious! Highly recommend!

A Delicious quick meal perfect for our post aquarium lunch, the owner was so friendly and his pride for his business is shown in the quality of the food. It truly tastes like home cooked, authentic Cuban with fresh quality ingredients. You must try their mango or daily special of fruit juice, as you can taste the real fruit they use to make it as well! Not too much added sugar, just the natural sweetness of the fruit. I wish I lived in this area so I could come eat here more often! Wish I could give more than 5 stars.

I consider myself a connoisseur of empanadas and cuban sandwiches, having eaten them in growing up in Panama and on trips to Puerto Rico, Little Havana in Miami, and of course, in New York City. I just happened to walk past this place inside the Peachtree mall (which is under construction) while running an errand picking up a few items from the CVS for my family at the hotel. I looked over their menu and decided to try the beef empanada and the cuban sandwhich. By the way, let me also mention that the staff here was super friendly and attentive to everyone in line. They were a man and a woman who worked well as a team, and it seems that the food they are prepared is as fresh as it can be given this situation. I only waited about 5-10 minutes for my food to be ready. As I was waiting, I saw the man preparing a chicken sandwich for another customer....the chicken was cooked up fresh, and when I saw him constructing the sandwich, my mouth started to water...it looked delicious, and I made a mental note to try it next time, if there was one. Once I received my food, I made my way back to the hotel to share the food with my family as an early afternoon snack. The empanadas were AWESOME...they were filled with shredded beef rather than the ground beef I was used to, this was a VERY good thing, as the flavor was intense. I got the mojo sauce to dip them into, which only enhanced the flavor of the empanadas. The cuban sandwhich was equally as tasty. It was still hot and fresh when I got back to my room and the meat on it was very generous, and flavorful. I ate half and gave the other half to my wife and daughter, and everyone fully enjoyed it.....YUM YUM. I wanted to come back here before my trip was over to try the chicken sandwich, but time got away from me. I've made a mental note that if I'm ever in the area again, I will have to try it. YUM YUM is right!!

My name is Rachel and I have an obsession with Cuban sandwiches. So naturally I found Beni's Cubano and started running...because it closed in 15 minutes and I wasn't playing around. I got there, just barely. Mauricio, one of the owners, was closing up. He took pity on my sweaty Cuban sandwich craving self and heated up the grill. While we talked he persuaded me to try their coffee and empanadas. If I worked in that building I would have their coffee every afternoon, strong but smooth and sweet. Perfect pick me up. The cuban bread is made locally, the pork was perfectly cooked and seasoned. It was also a gigantic sandwich, easily enough on it's own but I wouldn't reccomend it. The sweet plantains were very ripe and sprinkled with sea salt. Epic explosion of sweet and salty. The empanadas were crispy and light, not greasy like many options. I would advise if garlic gives you challenges avoid the garlic aioli and chicken empanada...if not get extra because it was packed with flavor! Swing by, grab a quick bite, no doubt you will be caffeinated and satisfied!

The Cubano was really good and so was the strawberry lemonade. I did honey mustard instead of regular mustard though!

I came to Beni's on a Saturday afternoon. I'm sure that's not a typical busy time for their M-F clientele, but I had a wonderful experience. It's so weird when things like that happen in such quick and casual manner. But you just feel it when someone cares about what they're doing- and Beni's cares! I ordered a Cuban and side of plantain strips with garlic aioli to dip. While he was making my sandwich he talked about the importance of finding the right bread for the Cuban. He said they tried importing from Chicago and Miami and couldn't quite find the right fit. So, they hired a local bakery to make it as authentically and fresh as they could get. It wasn't an annoying one sided conversation, the dude was just excited about their good food. Which, in turn, makes me super excited about it too. Thankfully that's not where the goodness stopped. I made my way back to my hotel to eat I private and I'm so glad I did. I savored and consumed and savored and consumed. There was literally pulled pork falling on my lap and around me because hey had filled that sandwich to the brim. You know when you're first in love and even though you know making out in public is inappropriate, but that feeling just takes over and you don't care. I made out with that sandwich. And I liked it. A lot. I was slightly bummed to see the plantain chips weren't prepared fresh, but that went away once I dipped them in the garlic aioli and took a bite (you have a few sauce options, but that's what I chose and he said it was the most popular). When he originally handed me the sauce container I was unsure about its small size, but the idea is just to get a little on the chip so you can still taste the plantains and not be too overpowered by the garlic. Now, I don't live in Atlanta and I have never wished I would, but Beni's $11.43 sandwich and side have won my heart and I can't handle long distance relationships. How will I go on?!

Great and quick breakfast in downtown Atlanta!! Between three of us we had chicken and waffles, Cuban eggs, island sandwich, and skillet potatoes. Everything was delicious. The red sauce that comes with the island sandwich and the skillet potatoes are spicy in case your not a fan of spicy food. Beni's is right beside Chick-Fil-A in the Peachtree Hub. Do yourself a favor and skip the long chicken line and get some delicious Cuban food from Beni's!!

As a Celiac at DragonCon, I always appreciate (and require) gluten free food options. The owner at Beni's did his research and knows how to take care of his Celiac customers. All the entrée plates are gluten free, and he changes his gloves and sanitizes the counters before preparing food if you let him know you are Celiac. I'm so glad he is open extra hours during the con. It's a little pricey, but not only is it safe, it's DELICIOUS, and the owner and his staff are marvelous. You're paying for quality. So I'm happy to support them. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed! Try the puerco asado and the cuban coffee. Thank you, Morisio!!

Scored two fried-to-order beef empanadas stuffed with shredded beef. They were scrumptious (especially when dunked in the Beni's sauce). Paired with a black bean and corn salad that was also fantastic.

I just happen to be downtown this morning and I saw there was a chic-fil-a in this mall. As I was walking up to chic-fil-a I saw this place and glanced at the menu and was like oh chicken and waffles hmm I guess a lady in line herd me and said the chicken here is amazing. So I tried and if I could I would give this place 10 stars. Well for one they give you a lot of chicken for the price and a decent size waffle (it has to be folded in half to fit in the container. Back to the chicken it was seasoned so well flaky, crispy just all around tasty! I wish o was in this area more well I will make it my business to be in this area more I want to try all their food now! I'll be back (terminators voice)
