El Cuba Cafe

I love this place! I’ve been going to this place for 2 years now and they never disappoint. I love their western burrito. Their hot sauce is fantastic (not always on hand). The two lovely ladies cook it right there and then, no powdered eggs!

I didn't know about this place until my Yelp friend Tim wrote an awesome detailed review about it. It took me a while to try it, but I finally did last year. He was very right. Naida makes some tasty Cuban sandwiches here for a good price. The star of the sandwich is Naida's roast pork. It's well seasoned and it totally makes this sandwich shine. I usually get it with everything, but I keep forgetting that they'll include onions if you ask for it "all the way." It's good with or without it, but I prefer it without. Just keep that in mind and be specific if you don't want onions on your sandwich. Naida also makes the best café con leche. I sometimes go there just for Cuban toast and that awesome coffee. It gives me energy! They have a small hot bar area of daily offerings with some kind of rice and beans. It may change daily. I haven't ordered a platter, but I will one day. They do have a tasty arroz con salchichas side item. My mom used to make it sometimes with those little canned Vienna sausages. Yeah, it's a comfort thing for me. They also make wonderful breakfast sandwiches and ham croquettes. El Cuba Cafe is hidden inside of a Circle K convenience store on Bell Shoals Road. It's directly across the street from Publix at Bloomingdale Square. I know it has Cuba in the name, but their is a lot of Puerto Rican representation here. That may also be why I'm so fond of it. It's also super convenient, and the service is great. I usually drive in the back way to avoid all the construction nearby. There's no dining area. You just order your meal and take it with you. It's a no frills kind of place. A real hidden gem!

Came here for the Cuban Sandwich and it was okay. It didn't satisfy that craving I had for a good Cuban. Now, the beef empanada is where it's at. I wouldn't order another Cuban from here but I would definitely come back for that Beef empanada.

Visited this hidden gem for the first time yesterday after seeing on Yelp! Surprised to get such yummy Cuban grub from a tiny shop located inside a Circle K convenience store. The owner greeted me fast and was super friendly and helpful. I tried the Cuban Sandwich with no tomato extra pickle. The pork on the Cuban was moist, plentiful and delicious. There was only one very thin layer of ham, most people would probably prefer more ham. I don't know what kind of cheese was on it but it wasn't swiss and for me I really massively would prefer swiss cheese and next time will probably ask for no cheese because whatever cheese was on it I found tasteless a d not a good texture. Overall very delicious Sandwich and would highly recommend. I also tried the Ham Croquettes with the owners delicious homemade hit sauce which was soooo yummy! Last but not least I got 2 side of her rice to go woth Oxtails I was making at home and the rice was BOMB...perfectly cooked and full of delicious flavor.

Nice place located inside kf a gas station. I had the bacon/egg omelet sandwich. Delicious.

Excellent food, fast service, cheap prices, opens super early, clean kitchen and serving counter. Super friendly and kind staff. I'll keep coming back for more

It's inside circle K gas station The best Cuban ever hands down
