Super Yum!! Their café con leche is the best!! Super authentic!! I only wish my Dad could have tasted this Cuban coffee, one last time. Though...they use the Nescafé brand, and not the Bustello brand, which he preferred. Even so, I think its amazingly prepared, so smooth and rich. The Cuban sandwich tastes just like Dads. I love it, as a treat. Takes me down memory lane. I usually come here for these two items: The Café con Leche and The Authentic Cuban Sandwich. The bread tastes exactly like the bread our relatives used! Not similar, THE SAME texture and taste. Makes me happy just thinking about it, to be honest. The food of my childhood. Will definitely continue coming back for the coffee and sandwich. I wish they served Traditional Cuban Flan... Even if they only sold it during certain times of the year. Good Flan, you know, with the dark top and the bubbly air pockets, brings back memories!!! Or if they sold Guava Paste with Cuban Crackers... guava paste or pasta de guayaba that is sold around here and in the ones from Florida, are so different in taste, color, and texture. If they did sell either of these, they would have Best Cuban Lunch menu in Texas! Still, totally worth the trip for the coffee and sandwiches. Seriously! So good...... All in all the staff is very friendly. The food comes pretty fast. They have a card reader, so you dont need cash, which I like. Also, you can call orders in, which speeds up the process that much more. The atmosphere is cozy, but not fussy. If you are in the area, I say stop by, especially, if you want authentic tasting Cuban sandwiches and coffee. I go back every few months. Yum. Yum. In fact, I think I will take the family there now, for lunch. If I had anything to say as constructive critism, I dont care for their picadillo. It isnt at all like our families picadillo, but to be fair, ours is the only picadillo I am familiar with. Other than that, I enjoy this place am a repeat customer.

I stumbled across this FIND in Baytown and had no idea it has been here for 2 years! My husband and I had breakfast here while our cars window was repaired nearby. First, all the food is prepared fresh. This is what you would make in your own home kitchen, if you have the time and the recipes. My husband had the 4 egg omelet (yes, really). It was also loaded with zucchini, squash, and tomatoes. He was able to order whatever he wanted on his omelet. Vegetables were fresh! Skillet potatoes were served on the side. They were prepared fresh as well! Cuban toast also -- authentic from a cuban bakery in Florida. My husband likes his coffee strong and black. He said the coffee was excellent! Price was less than other popular coffee chains and he & I like to support good locally-owned businesses when we can. I ordered the Cuban french toast. It was also served with a meat and the skillet potatoes. I asked if I could have the ropa vieja Cuban beef instead, which is indescribable. You just have to try it to experience how wonderful it is. It is slow simmered in peppers and other seasonings, tender and falling apart. Delectable delicious! The french toast was made with the Cuban bread, of course! I love how this breads crust is crusty & flaky on the outside and soft on the inside, wonderful texture. Skillet potatoes also served on the side. This was an enormous amount of food for the two of us. We shared some of it then boxed the rest to bring home. Next time I might order that huge 4-egg omelet to go and split it between 2 or 3 of us to share. Healthy options for those with specific diet requirements. It is difficult finding restaurants to accommodate these diets for our family, which require mainly vegetables (not fried). This menu offers this, which is another reason we will come back.

I literally just left there...boy let me tell you. I looked this place up for a new place to eat breakfast cause I did not want ihop or waffle house. The outside looks shady and kind of off putting, the inside however is very welcoming and nice they are apparently redoing the bathrooms too. The cook a little short guy is freaking adorable and super sweet. I didnt get a chance to ask his name but he was so nice to us. The waitress that took our order actually cared about us and asked about my pregnant belly which I was so giggle about. Now on to the food. My husband and I both got the Cuban Breakfast Sandwich there was a wait but it was worth it. The food came out piping hot and the bread was the right kind of crunch. It all tasted so fresh. I couldnt even complain about how the forgot my bacon ha. The coffee I got the café De leche was amazing. Super creamy and foamy I didnt even need anything in it. This place is now my favorite breakfast place I cant wait to try their lunch!.

Followed someones suggestion on yelp. cuban breakfast sandwich, and café con Leche (coffee). definitely worth the stop. sandwich very good and seemed authentic and was not greasy; thought it might be for whatever reason. the coffee was also very good compared to a premium cup from other coffee shops. will come again if Im in the area.

My go to place for a good lunch. This place is known for their breakfasts, but I am not an early bird. It is small but mighty, with good Cuban style food and a happy atmosphere. A lot more take out than eat in but the place is clean and open. I take my Cuban mother-in-law there for food and cafe Cubano. Nuff said.

The owner and employees are wonderful. Food is great and the coffee is so good! I got a mocha cappuccino and yum! I like my coffee a bit strong and their coffee is perfect for me! They even grind the coffee right in front of you.

The cafe con leche was both wonderful and ENORMOUS. Just what I needed while on the road for work. If you are a work traveler, this is a good place to take out a laptop and work too. Delicious good. Courteous staff.

The Breakfast sandwich and the Cuban sandwich were both amazing. And the coffee was the best Ive ever had. Great staff; the cook came out and brought us "treats". Will definitely be back.

Amazing food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere. The bread is nice and toasted with the right amount of crunch and the ropa vieja was to die for. Will definitely be back again.

Have not tried anything to eat, but the Cuban coffee is definitely met my expectation. Almost like being back in the Caribbean even though the ocean is missing!
