I’m a huge fan of Cuban food and I love that they included a little bit of Portuguese in there as well. The restaurant is cute, the food is very good, and the service team was very welcoming. I went in on a Friday around noon and it was packed. Despite how busy they were, I got my food pretty quickly. Ordered to go. Will definitely be going back!

One of my new favorite places in the county! The food is unique and incredibly flavorful, the staff is wonderful, welcoming and warm. If you've never had Cuban food or want to try delicious, top quality food, I highly recommend Cuban Queen Cafe(and their food truck if you find them out and about!).

I was in the area and thought to stop here with my daughter for an early dinner and what a great choice that was. The atmosphere was fantastic, the staff was sweet and the food was spectacular. The black beans were very flavorful, the churrasco was delicious as were the empanadas with ropa vieja and maduros. I would definitely be visiting the next time I'm in the area.

Just stopped by this afternoon. Very warm and welcoming as soon as I walked in. For all my Portuguese friends out there... THEY HAVE PASTEIS DE NATA!!!! And they are very good and authentic. I also got two beef empanadas and they were delicious! And they were huge. Great price, too. Totally recommend you stopping in. Help support the small businesses.
