Lazaro's Cuban Cuisine

Love the quaintness of being in a converted house. It felt like we were in a grandmother’s dining room . Our server was friendly and answered all of our questions and even gave us great recommendations. The cod fritters were fried to perfection. The shrimp dish with the black beans and rice was so flavorful. The pork chop was tasty and fried to perfection. Sadly the arroz con pollo was not a fan favorite. Although plated beautifully, the rice was very sticky and not many pieces of chicken. The sangria tasted like an inexpensive bottle of wine with some cut up fruit. We also ordered the guava and cheese pastry. The crust was flaky but the cheese and guava mixture tasted a little processed. We would definitely patronize Lazaro again to try more of their tasty food.

Since moving to Georgia 6 years ago from Miami, where Cuban food was everywhere, I can finally say I found a place that feels like home. Their service is amazing, and the food is incredible. The location is perfect. We absolutely love this place. I live about an hour away, but we do not mind the drive. We've been there a few times, and we love it.

Tonight was my second visit to Lazaro’s, a spur-of-the-moment trip with a friend, after class. Y’all. I grew up in Florida, and let me tell you, this place is the real deal. The food. The decor, the atmosphere. Omg the food. I wish I’d thought to take pictures when it was brought out, but we fell on our food like hungry feral raccoons, and by the time we came up for air, it was mostly crumbs. We got the small sampler platter for the two of us, and we gorged ourselves like hobbits. It included: three empanadas - chicken, beef, spinach + corn, a pork tamale, plantain chips, tostones con mojo, fried yuca, and ham croquetas. Let the record show that Tim “I Don’t Like Plantains” Harper not only ate most of the plantain chips and tostones, he ordered extra chips for later. I’m lucky I got any off the plate. 😆 Seriously good. We also shared a tres leches, and a guava & cheese pastry, and Cuban coffee. The tres leches was a creamy delicate confection, and I will definitely get this again. I’ve eaten many guava pastries in my lifetime, and this one was perfect. /sigh We sat on the patio under a beautiful spreading tree. It was daylight, so the lights weren’t on, but I can tell you from my previous visit, once it’s dark and the tree lights are on, it’s like a fairyland, set to a backdrop of Cuban music.

On a residential street in Roswell, Georgia, there is an unpretentious house, which is the home of Lazaro's Cuban Cuisine. Two or three parking spaces sit where the front lawn used to be and there is access to the backyard where there's ample parking for the rest of the patrons. We went in on a chilly Winter's day but on our way in we noticed that there is outside seating for when the temperature warms up. We walked into the front room where 4 or 5 tables waited patiently for patrons. The room was filled with Cuban mementos, which gave a very homey welcoming vibe. As we sat down at the table, we could glimpse more seating in the other rooms behind us. "The best thing on the menu is the Cubano sandwich" we were told. My companion did as ordered, but I decided to try the rope vieja instead. The bread on the sandwich was crisp with that perfect "crunch" of an awesome Cuban sandwich. The rope vieja was paired with steamed rice and black beans. The meat was fork tender and moist with a dense mouthful, spicy, and flavorful. We washed it down with lemonade. Highly recommended. Great service. Food came out quickly, and the vibe was chill but welcoming. Will eat here again!!!

I've never had authentic Cuban food, and this place did not disappoint. It was recommended and I went. I am a little upset I didn't get something else besides the bowl. I hate to say this, but it was like a Chipotle bowl. That's the best way I can describe it. It was delicious, to say the least. I highly recommend this place.

Amazing always, love the “secret menu item” 3 entrees makes it easy not to choose only one. Our server was amazing, food was delicious, Cuban coffee just right!

The food at Lazaro's was super delicious, and the customer service was amazing. I truly enjoyed this meal outside under the tree, and the best part of the visit was to enjoy my café con leche. I would've loved some Cuban music, but besides that It felt so relaxing! Visit Lazaro's. You will love ❤️ them.

Had a private setting for my daughters graduation dinner Friday night. Barbara took great care of us and the food was outstanding as always! I loved in Miami and have missed the food. So great this place is here and Lazaro produces truly authentic dishes. This place ROCKS

My family and I first tried Lazaro's before we moved to the area and it has become a staple since. We have been here multiple times and I had not reviewed it sooner because honestly, the jury was still out on what a fair rating might be. The thing is, I am not a big fan of Cuban food. This is somewhat ironic considering my Cuban descent (I was made in America with Cuban parts). Nonetheless, I did not think it would be fair to rate Lazaro's in a way that might be skewed by my general dislike of traditional Cuban dishes, which is probably fueled in large part by the fact that I compare all of them to Abuela's cooking and none of them can ever hold a candle to the magic that Abuela created in the kitchen when I was lucky enough to still have her around. My hubby, on the other hand, is a major Cuban food addict. His hangry side comes out from time to time if he goes too long without a dose of his beloved white rice and beans, so whether I liked it or not, Lazaro's was inevitably added to our list of regular haunts so it was important for me to find something on the menu that I could not only live with but actually enjoy. It took a while, but I did finally find a couple items on the menu that I do genuinely enjoy. Unfortunately, I am not a fan of how Lazaro does his croquetas, which are typically one of my favorite things to eat at Cuban restaurants. I just don't like the flavor of the ham mix. I do, however, really like the tomato-based sauce that they come with but I prefer to dip the mariquitas in there more than the croquetas. Since Lazaro is essentially the only genuine Cuban game in town (aside from Cubanos ATL which we haven't tried yet since it's a sandwich spot and hubby is not a fan of those types of establishments), these are the only croquetas I have access to here, so it sucks that I can't bring myself to like them but alas, it is what it is. I did not like the arroz con pollo because it does not taste at all like what I expect traditional Cuban arroz con pollo to taste like and neither does the picadillo in my opinion. Hubby's go-to dish is the steak sandwich with white rice and black beans on the side. He loves it and frequently craves it. He also enjoys the palomilla with rice and beans sometimes and the other day he tried the griled chicken breast with rice and beans, which he also liked. He is generally a happy camper as long as whatever he eats comes with rice and beans. I don't care for rice or beans, so I am a bit harder to please. What I like most from Lazaro's is the breaded steak with fries (as long as they overcook the steak so that it's nice and crispy). When I am not in the mood for steak, I will usually go for the steak sandwich as this is the best sandwich on the menu even though it doesn't come with cheese or I ask them to just make a plain ham and cheese sandwich, which they have done for me on occasion. Most of their sandwiches come on what they call Cuban bread and while it is decent bread, it's nothing like the Cuban bread we are used to from Miami. The other day, I decided to be a bit more adventurous and ordered the Cuban bowl without the rice. This was actually better than expected. Despite my general disdain for black beans, the ones in this bowl were rather tasty and the whole meal was nicely filling. The fries are consistently good as are their fried plantains and mariquitas. By far the best thing about Lazaro's, in my opinion, is the stellar service! All the servers we have had are fabulous but there is none better than Nick. Nick's service is always on point and he makes the entire visit more enjoyable just by being there. Based on the excellent service and the food items I have come to enjoy, I would personally rate Lazaro's a solid 4 stars. While it is one of hubby's favorite spots, he also agrees that it warrants 4 stars because he does love it but says it would not really be fair to give it 5 since it literally has no real competition for Cuban food in a 20-mile radius. If you love Cuban food, you are probably going to love Lazaro's too. Maybe I'll see you there!

We decided to head to Roswell for something different than our typical John's Creek fare. We came across Lazaro's and had heard about it for a few years. The location is in an old house, decorated with lights outside and adorned with lovely artwork in the various rooms. The service is homey and welcoming. We ordered spinach and corn empanadas empanadas that came with a sauce that should be bottled and we put it on everything. We also had cod fritters and a side salad. The fritters were okay but the dressing on the salad was unique and tangy. We had pulled pork, chicken, steak, and sausage. The dishes came with a nice rice, black beans and fantastic fried sweet plantains. The meats were fine but were slightly lacking flavor ( the aforementioned sauce helped. For dessert, we had one of our favorites, tres leches cake. This was authentic and crave worthy. This was a nice distraction from the usual standards and worth returning.

Outdoor dining under the magnolia is pleasant and tasty at Lazaro's. All your expected favorites are here, with some fun twists on classic Cuban dishes. Among other highlights, this is the one place that convinced my wife to change her 100% Ropa Vieja ordering record. So an extra half-star for that. If it's lunchtime, I'm likely to get something on Cuban bread. Whatever, just slap it between two loaves and smash it Cuba-style. Today was no change, and the steak was tasty, with rice/beans rounding out a huge portion. I know you're all pining for my wife's choice, and well you should. Apparently the star of their show is the roast pork, which is roasted for 24 hours or 24 months or something long. I agree it was flavorful, and I've been know to reject a 23-hour roast because I can tell. The lime sauce added a zesty topping. Take it from all the Cuban locals who pick this place for birthdays, celebrations, and more: they know the secret. From sangria to espresso, and of course tres leches and flan, head over and grab a table before it's too crowded.

If you love Cuban food, this restaurant is a MUST try. There are a few parking spaces out front but an ample sized parking lot behind the restaurant. There is outdoor dining area in front of the restaurant that is shaded by a huge Magnolia tree. Upon entry into Lazaro's, the kitchen and a bar area are on the left side of the restaurant with dining rooms in the back and right side of the restaurant. The dining areas are tastefully decorated with Spanish art with some funny Signs mixed in with the art. All of the seating is a combination of tables with seating for 4 or more guests. Our server was super friendly and answered all our questions about the menu. She brought the two of us menus and took our drink orders. My better half loved the large bottle of water that our server brought to the table. We ordered two sandwiches to share. One was a classic Cuban Sandwich and the other was the Spanish Sausage Sandwich. We both agreed that the Cuban Sandwich was the star of our plates. The pressed Cuban was adorned with tasty roasted pork piled high along with Black Forest Ham and Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard on Cuban bread. The Spanish Sausage sandwich was good but the sausage was a bit salty for our tastes. This sandwich has the same ingredients as the Cuban but the roasted pork is replaced with fried Spanish Sausage (our server compared it to bacon). For our sides we chose Yuca fries which were delicious; crispy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. These were served with Laz sauce which is a tomato and mayo sauce. The other side we selected was the mixed rice which is rice cooked with black beans topped with diced purple onions and fresh chopped parsley. We really liked both of the sides. Our server checked on use regularly and always had a smile on her face and seemed to love her job which always makes the dining experience better. If you enjoy Cuban food, you need to run out to Lazaro's Cuban Cuisine for some great service and excellent Cuban dishes.

This place is AMAZING! They have the best Cuban sandwich around. I've been told they import their bread from Miami. I really enjoy the Ropa Vieja, empanadas and tamales. 10/10 would recommend their pitcher of sangria. You get a good amount of sangria for $28 while their glass of sangria is $10 so it's a good deal. We went for Father's Day and they had a deal for 2 Cubans for $15 total. It was a crazy good deal. It's a small building that I think used to be an old house. I personally find sitting inside tends to be a little warm. They have a small patio that is very nice if they weather is good. The parking lot is very small and gravel so if you go during a busy time, you may have to park elsewhere. Their staff are always very kind and attentive.

So good, I had to come back. I didn't have a big appetite, so I ordered the Beef Empanadas with a side of Rice and Beans. The Empanadas were delicious. The crust was flaky and they didn't fall apart. I'm not sure what the sauce is called, but it definitely was a good compliment to the Empanadas. I also ordered a Sangria, which was good. If you drink Sangrias, this one is a must try. It has fresh fruit with the perfect balance of wine. Everyone in the restaurant was friendly. I sat at the bar this time. I have a view of fresh sunflowers andddd... I have a peek at the kitchen that has so many good looking dishes passing by. That means, I'll be back! Lol

Cute looking place, from arriving I can see the look of cuba from the frames on walls and paintings. The menu looks plentiful and the waitress greeted and served us in a timely manner. I ordered the steak sandwich with mariquitas and mojo. The mojo was ok basically store bought with lemon added and the chips were fresh and appear homemade, the sandwich was pretty good as well.

Love this place - we've been several times now and always have had a great experience. They have an awesome patio with lots of seating but the inside is pretty cool too - they have a ton of artwork all around which is fun to look at. Their sandwiches are amazing!!! Such good, crusty Cuban bread and the meat and sauces are delicious. We've had the empanadas which are tasty and plantains and yucca. We've also had the chorizo and cheese app - the chorizo has just the right amount of spice. The sangria is yummy and comes out in pretty green jugs. We've also had good service - the servers are friendly and attentive...highly recommend if you're looking for a good meal!

Words cannot EXPRESS how good their food is. Their Cuban sandwich is to die for and is addicting. Perfect combination of flavors and good portion sizes. The flavor of the beans are garlicky/oniony and super addicting. The rice is always the perfect texture with a salty/buttery flavor. I had their coffee as well and it was pretty good. Additionally, I had their tres leches and it wasn't the best, but I was just trying something new. Nevertheless, try them out, it's too good to skip out on.

If you like Cuban food, this place is the Bomb ! Even if you don't like Cuban, their homemade chicken soup is the best I ever had and that is saying alot, because mine is dynamite. Oh well, I've been outdone. The service was excellent. The paintings and atmosphere was great inside and out. Enjoy!

Apologies for no pictures. We just had a wonderful lunch. Sangria, cod fritters, Cuban sandwich, steak and onions, ground beef, Ham croquettes. All food served here is like mana from heaven. So good. Even the black beans and rice on the side are amazing.

My family recently chose to celebrate our birthday's here. Me, plus my mom and dad are all Aquarius. My parents dine here all the time and said that it's consistently delicious. They have been eating here since it opened. It was the first time for Mark and I to dine here and we loved it! It's located in a charming bungalow in historic Roswell. We arrived for an early Saturday evening dinner since the parking lot is small and has limited space. The interior has a fun Caribbean theme and colorful artwork. Service was friendly and efficient. The quality of the food and wine was excellent and the prices are in line for the quality. Our family ordered the tostones with shrimp, chicken empanadas, salted cod fritters for appetizers and they were amazing! Main entrees were all spectacular! My brother loved his medianoche sandwich and my parents loved their skirt steak churrasco with chimmichuri sauce. The coconut flan and Cuban coffees were a great conclusion to our meal! We love this place!!!

I went at lunch time looking forward to all the good reviews and some great cuban food! Boy was I disappointed! The palomilla steak was very dry, no garlic or lime, no taste and the driest and toughest piece of meat I have ever had for this kind of steak. I know it is not filet but I do know what to expect from it. The black beans and white rice were very good. The Tres Leche cake was terrible. It tasted like pound cake, it was very dense and a very thin piece with hardly any milk noticeable and what tasted like cool whip on top. Our server was very sweet and very slow! They did take the steak off the tab and I didn't even bother to complain about the cake. I barley ate anything on my plate. Lazaro you can do better!

My friends and I came to Lazaro's for an early dinner on Saturday and made it here at about 6ish. I'm thankful we did because it got busy as time wore on. The food here was delicious. This is about as close to South Florida Cuban as I've gotten. The beef empanada was my favorite, I felt like the chicken needed more flavor but I always feel that way about chicken empanadas. The ribeye was cooked medium like I prefer. The rice was made right, great amount of seasoning and it wasn't over cooked which I hate. If I was in the area I would come back. I ordered a Cuban to go and a chicken filet for my cousin also to go. In all I paid 79 ish which included a $12 tip. Update : ate the Cuban and it was great, reheated well. I got the plantains with it and wished I'd gotten the rice and beans. If you're in the area go.

Laz's is the best! Shrimp, ropa vieja and plantains cute interior and exterior decor. 1000% recommended!!!

Sooo Authentic! My best friend is Cuban and it was like being back in her kitchen! Came for lunch and can't wait to come back for dinner! Started with Housemade Sangria- wow! Yuca and the Tostones, entrees enjoyed were Ropa Viaja and Lechon Asada, and I will live with the gluten intake- Guava and cheese Pastillito and a Cuban Coffee...and I was back in Miami! Outside seating available and the interior is fun! Call ahead for reservations on the weekend. Private parking

I'm backkkk and once again you can't beat authentic Cuban ! I started off with a Cafe Cubano I was tired - lol ! For dinner I ordered the Lechon Asado (delicious roasted pork w onions) and ordered rice and beans (my favorite dish) it also came with delicious plantains. My son ordered the Cuban sandwich with fries which never disappoints. Oh and we started off with my other fave beef empanadas !

Always have loved this place for pick up and to go. Terrible on the night before thanksgiving. Cuban sandwich had dry meat and bread, awful. Will not go back and should have gone to Cubanos new place in Roswell.

The service and food are great. The inside is cute and quaint. I have tried the steak, Cuban sandwich, chicken filt with onions, tostones and yucca fries. Everything is delicious and the portions are shareable. The outdoor seating is very nice on a good weather day. It is a good place for dinner to relax and enjoy. Or if on a quick lunch the service is quick and efficient. All the staff are friendly and make you feel at home.

Really - Really - Really - Disappointed! I think maybe somebody flipped a coin and said hey, maybe we should open a Cuban restaurant and get the recipes from " Dinty Moore! ". I was going to meet someone here for a business meeting as they said this was the best Cuban food they've ever had north of South Florida! I know know why she said that - as they have a Cuban style menu... but everything they did really taste it off or was not fresh and it was just a horrible. It was my visit 1st visit there and it was like $185 dollars - I was buying for to bring the food togo to a business dinner - instead. The black beans which are a staple, a literal hallmark for Cubans, tasted like there was some kind of cheap jelly candy inside of it and weird aftertaste - Bleeech! The empanadas I ordered had mainly raisins in it, not one hint of chopped onions, or any other spice, and certainly no green Spanish olives, which are another huge staple inside of Cuban food like Picadillo (which is seasoned ground beef) - but there was nothing seasoned about that freeze dried cheap meat crumbles inside those empanadas! The chicken soup had dried chicken if you could believe it and it was covered with just a hard pieces of yucca or crap that was not even cooked inside it. This was not chicken soup that comes from Cuba. There was not a single noodle in it and it just was like dirty brown cleanish water, with really horrible over cooked Walmart chicken in a can maybe? The croquettes tasted like they had chicken or almost like deviled ham, consistency, chicken inside them - aka (((cat food like))) - I'm so happy I bought extra of everything to bring some home after the meeting and everything was just - miserable! I actually paid for two extra servings of bread and they had barely any butter. I think they put peanut oil on the bread. They barely pressed it on the grill and it looks like they have some kind of Panini grill instead - PLEASE DEAR GOD!!! NOT A PANINI GRILL!!! Maybe I'm wrong maybe it was a George Foreman grill - LOL ‍ We got the chicken breast which is fried. It's called the (Bistec de Pollo Empandizado) - at first glance it looks good, but it was completely burned and dried, and it was very similar to shoe leather. I couldn't even imagine - the rice would not have the typical oily sheen Cuban rice would have, but that was too much to ask... The pastelitos de Guava and Guava & Cheese. The regular guava ones, we're still not like the real Miami ones and they are not displayed in a hot cabinet to keep them fresh - they were in a wooden & glass box, just cold and meh... Oh the one with cheese was sitting out in the display case and the cream cheese was like play dough (YUCK!) So basically, everything was so miserable and not really Cuban at all - when you get a Cuban sandwich and it's got green tomatillo spicy sauce with it - screams COMIDA DEL CUBANOS FALSOS = Fake Cuban Food! I was so upset by how crappy everything was and for a first order being so important and a large order - I was going to give one star... I decided that I'll give an the extra star for the Fried Bacalao (Cod Fritters) - which fresh and SUBLIME...

This is my absolute favorite Cuban restaurant!! I've had a number of entrees here before. They have the best Medianoche Sandwich in town! The sandwich comes with rice and beans which are also flavored to perfection. There's a small free parking lot behind the restaurant. I'd recommend getting here early to secure a spot and a table. Servers here are very kind and offer great suggestions! I also love their plantains and get them as a side every time. The side of plantains is around $6 but includes an entire plate of plantains which makes me happy! They have both indoor and outdoor seating on their huge front patio. I can't wait to go back again soon!

Service was good! First time trying and wasn't that impressed with my dish. The grilled chicken with onions was so rubbery! Had absolute no flavor! Maybe I ordered the wrong dish but rice was my favorite and only thing I enjoyed v

Me and my husband came for dinner here and the food was amazing! 10/10, I am very impressed and satisfied.

Amazing! I spent two weeks in Cuba as a part of my study abroad program and I have missed the food and my friends for months. When I found Lazaro's I knew I had to try it out and it was definitely worth it. I ordered the Ropa Vieja, Yuca Frita and Tres Leches for dessert. It was just as good as the meals I had in Cuba. Besides the food our waiter was amazing, he was extremely personable and very attentive. The atmosphere was amazing as well and I loved the art on the walls, it definitely resembled a few restaurants I had visited in Havana.

Lazaro's epitomizes a friendly, laid-back family business. Our server -- hi, Sara! -- is not part of the family, but you'd think she is. An asset to the business. (And we appreciate that she was wearing a mask.) The patio in front of the restaurant is shaded and comfortable. Part of the reason why we came. So I was originally going to order a marinated chicken breast, but when I saw sandwiches brought to a neighboring table, I did a last-minute switcheroo. I haven't eaten steak in years, but for some reason it resonated. Good -- not extraordinary --topped with potato sticks for extra crunch. We were warned that the Habanero sandwich is very hot. Sara was concerned that my 94 year old mother would be in over her head. However, mom thought it was great with roast pork, ham, pepper jack cheese and hot peppers. My husband ordered the pork plate -- the only person who finished every last bite, with nothing to take home. For $2 extra, we swapped out plantain chips for white rice and beans. One would think white rice is white rice -- but this was particularly flavorful. And the beans, as one would expect in a Cuban restaurant, were wonderful. We split a large salad three ways. The vinaigrette -- listed as almond/garlic -- needs to be jazzed up. Mid-afternoon Saturday, parking was not a problem. And as I was told, when the business next door is closed, you can likely spill into their small lot.

Not Cuban as my name makes obvious although I've had the good fortune to travel ti Miami's Little Havana for business for several years...and developed a pretty clear idea what makes solid.l Cuban chow. Lazaro's is legit. Try the classic Cuban or the Medianoche (Cuban sandwich on the literally-translated Midnight bread). The black beans side is my go-to....I could eat a big bowl of these as a meal all by themselves. Lazaro's is conveniently located just off the Northwestern corner of Canton and Woodstock in Downtown Roswell. On nice weather days, request a table on the patio under the trees. Super clean WCs with cool art. If you visit for lunch, stroll over to Roswell Hardware afterwards, say "hey" to Bruno and Julie and check out their Yeti and Big Green Egg supplies.

Absolutely love Lazaro's Cuban restaurant! When I'm in town, this is one of my favorite spots to visit. It's always nice to see Lazaro's cooking up some fantastic Cuban food. The restaurant is so beautiful! It gives you the feeling of sitting in a cute little Cuban house waiting on your delicious homemade meal. The staff is always awesome Barbara, Nick and everyone makes you feel right at home! Love the daily specials. Arroz Con Pollo, Cuban sandwiches, the skirt steak with Laz's delicious chimichurri! Go for a visit, you will be glad you did!

Love the Lechon, the rice and beans are SO flavorful, and the plantains are always fresh and sweet.

Food is amazing! We went on a beautiful Saturday night, sat in their patio and had an amazing experience. We had Churrasco made to perfection, plantains with creole shrimp, fried yuca, sangria and everything was delish!

In my honest opinion, this is by far the best Cuban restaurant that I have gone to in Georgia. I have taken my Cuban friend and he also approves and even took back some food to his Cuban mom. The setting here is very laid back. It's a little bit further away from all the other Roswell, strip eateries. The pricing is just right and the service is phenomenal. The restaurant is owned by a family and you have the mom and a daughter both working the restaurant. Any treated with the utmost care and care about the customer service, and also the food and quality that they deliver. Parking can be a little bit small, but But it it's not too bad or you could always just walk here from the rosal strip. In my opinion, i've been here to this restaurant to eat here at least fifteen times and if it was closer, it'd be twice that!

Just like back at home... and that's saying a lot when my mother-in-law is Cuban and an exceptional cook! Hubby had bistec palomilla (steak with onions) and liked it a lot. It was cooked perfectly and filled with all the right flavor. I had arroz con pollo (chicken and rice). It was "arroz con Pollo Friday" and the waitress sold me on it with her description. ...and she was right! It was stupendous.... So very good. The rice was perfectly cooked and the flavor of the chicken was beyond description. The waitress was so friendly and helpful and so nice. She told us her dads story, and we shared tid-bits from our family. She even posed for a selfie with us. My only complaint is that this restaurant is not back in New York!

Good was the best Cuban food I have had in Atlanta. I will definitely be going back.

Great food very good service. Front patio is nice. highly recommend the Cuban sandwich

My husband and I went here for the first time for a late lunch and we were so impressed with the outstanding food and service. ABSOLUTELY DELISH! We got tamales, the habanero sandwich with yucca fries, and the chicken and yellow rice special. We can't wait to go back!

Wonderful place for a Cuban! I've been wanting to try this place since we moved to Roswell and is great! Wonderful yuca fries, kids loved their chicken fingers, we loved our Cuban sandwiches and beans and rice! Service was so nice and helpful and friendly! We may make this a new Friday tradition!

We ordered a Pan con bistec which lacked flavor (The black beans were tasteful however the white rice seemed a little hard), the Sandwich cubano also lacked flavor & the french fries that came with it didn't taste as fresh. The ham croquettes were not that tasty & seemed overly fried, they didn't seem nor tasted like the typical ham croquettes I've eaten at many restaurants. I must say this is probably the first time the food we've ordered from here was simply not that good.

My partner and both are from Florida and we were both born in Cuba , so we had high expectations of this place. First of all the service was great friendly staff and the ambiance was great. Now on to the food, my partner had the pan con bistec, it was alright he said. It lacked a bit of flavor. I had the Cuban sandwich, it was good not great, it also lacked a bit of flavor, the pork was a little on the dry side and not much of that traditional mojo flavor. The fries were a bit soggy and a bit under cooked. We also tried the yuca Frita, which I think were a little hard and lacked flavor. Overall I think the food could use a little work, in our opinion. Hopefully they can take that into consideration and go back into the kitchen and evaluate what is being done.

I ordered Ropa Vieja, I payed almost 20 dollars when I open in my house it's only that! #decpetion

This place is the real deal. Come here for your authentic cuban cravings. We come here at least once a month. The prices are extremely reasonable and the portions are large. The outdoor patio is nice. All the appetizers are really good. My favorite are the empanadas. They are very generous with the filling and have great flavor. The cuban sandwich is also great and has plenty of meat. The must-try are the Pork Chops - Chuletas de Cerdo and the Roast Pork - Lechon Asado. The combination of the rice, beans and onions is perfection! You will not be disappointed. The meat is so tender and juicy. The portions are huge so you can look forward to leftovers. The service is also great and the owner is very friendly. We always have the best experience here!

I really wanted to like this place but it never worked.. all three times that I have been for lunch or dinner. I love Cuban food and was very excited to see one open in the heart of Roswell. Unfortunately, what I ordered was always mediocre at best. Even the charcuterie north was not the best. Whatever they do to that chorizo, they need to stop. It tastes like greasy mystery jerky. I hope they tweak their recipes. I might give this place one more chance.

I agree with other 1-star reviews. The food has no flavors. The bread was crispy but the pork had no flavor. I didn't taste any ham. The rice is also flavorless. I don't know if it's an issue of salt or the food is reheated/frozen. ***No bueno*** And I DO NOT HAVE COVID. I'm fully vaccinated and never contracted it. Nice try manager. Your response shows the level of rudeness you practice.

We love this place! Reservations highly recommended. Best cuban sandwich Atlanta and yes, better than most cuban sandwiches I have had in Tampa. I highly recommend getting the soup of the day, empanadas and plantains, Cuban sandwich and a coffee, however, everything is AWESOME! The sauces they serve are great and available to purchase togo. Service is great! Nick takes excellent care of us every time!

Excellent Cuban fare in an old bungalow on the north end of Roswell's booming Canton St. Authentic Cuban and Media Noche sandwiches. If the weather is nice, eat on the deck.

3 1/2 stars would be more appropriate and only because it's lacking a little flavor here and there - food is okay not great. service and atmosphere is good. They have Cuban sandwiches that are just ok , sangria is strong which I will never complain about , black beans need a little bit more Latino flare. Staff is super friendly. Not my first or favorite cuban restaurant.

I'm very impressed with this little piece of heaven! This is not a place where, once you tired them, you tried them all. I order the skirt steak with White rice and beans and a cafe con leche afterwards. The portion of the plate was plenty and then some. The beans were perfect in consistency. Not watery and not too thick. They also use bay leaf (thank you). The rice was delish too. Skirt steak was supposed to be medium but a few pieces were over done. All forgivable when I tasted my husbands Yellow rice with chicken inside. This dish got my emotions going literally. It was tasted exactly how I grew up with. Freaking crazy. Seriously took me back in time. I really wanted to try so much more but since I get full fast, I have excuses to keep coming back. Some other great things that made the experience was the service. I think the owner helped us. Super friendly and patient as we went back and forth with what we wanted. All the staff were very helpful and attentive. I really love the little home turned into a business feel and the outside patio. I was freezing inside so maybe next I'll enjoy the out or bring a jacket. The music was great too. They played some old school stuff and the kitchen played even better music, lol! So needless to say, I cannot wait to go back and feel like I'm am home again.

Compliments to the chef All the stars PSA~ I downloaded yelp just to leave this review.

Food was incredible, service even better. We ordered the large sampler platter as an appetizer, generous amount of food and so delicious. Chimichurri steak for my entree, loved it. Best fried plantains I've ever had. And the house sangria was great as well. Chloe was our server and was amazing!! We'll be back.

Wow! This place is really good. We got take out and it was delicious. We ordered the chicken empanadas, tostones with mojo, Cuban sandwich with mixed rice, and flan for dessert. Next time, we are definitely going to dine in because everything was a bit cold and the tostones were soggy not crunchy. Still sooo good though so I can just imagine how amazing it is when eaten fresh on the spot! The chicken empanadas came with a yummy red sauce (my fave) and tasted homemade. The tostones were also good and came with mojo sauce (which I've never had before) and it was surprisingly delicious! The Cuban sandwich was huge and extremely filling. It came with mixed rice - also equally delicious! I dipped the sandwich in some of the mojo sauce as well and it was very good. The flan was also great! It tasted homemade and was perfectly sweet and creamy. I can't wait to return and eat in next time!

My family and I found this small but amazing restaurant by accident. In fact, I almost drove past it after noticing the very limited parking in front. Luckily we noticed more space in the back. There are only two things that work against this restaurant. One is the parking situation. There is probably only enough space for 12 vehicles in the entire parking lot and you need to be careful if you drive a large SUV. The other negative is that they do not carry sweet tea. However, the food makes up for those little inconveniences. The service staff is pleasant and welcoming. The food portions are very generous and delicious. We tried the yuka, tostones, roast pork, midnight sandwich, mixed rice and steak sandwich. Everything was amazing and more than we could eat. I'm just sorry we didn't have room for dessert because I heard someone on another table rave about the Tres Leches. There is plenty of outdoor seating if you prefer to be outside. They also have take out. However, eating there is an enjoyable experience
