Cuban American Cafe

This is the BEST place for a good Steak and Cheese sub the Cuban sandwich is awesome as well

I have eaten here several times but today I have the pork special and oh my god this has to be experienced!!

The best Cuban sandwiches I've ever had. The housemade bread is to die for. The staff is friendly and helpful and gave us some.great local tips for sights and eats!

Great food. The authentic Cuban was cooked perfectly. They cook their roast pork in house. It makes the whole building smell amazing and the food did not disappoint. Highly recommend.

This is the a little hidden gem for Cuban food. They have great press sandwiches, and if you need to pick up for the day, their espresso is Outstanding, if you’re in the downtown area, make sure you check them out. You won’t be disappointed they won’t let you leave disappointed.

It’s located inside of the Fairwinds Credit Union building. There is free parking in a small lot on the side of the building. There is paid parking across the street. The cafe is tucked away in a small corner. Very good coffee and super nice staff! So glad to have visited. Seems most of their customers work in the upper floors of the building, so it’s a very quiet restaurant.

Ps: they have recently adjusted their prices due to inflation (see the photo I added).
Pps: on my third visit, I came at 7:30 am, which is their opening time. The doors were closed. The security guard informed me they’re usually open a few minutes after 7:30. So, keep that in mind when you’re planning your trip. Amazing empanadas!

2023- delicious as usual, been coming here well over 15 years, love this place.
This is genuine authentic Cuban food as it is a family operated cafe with one of best "Bistec de Palomilla" plates ever (Cuban Steak Plate, with Rice & Beans) with some delicious onions. Been going here for more than 15 years and always get the same thing, never disappointed with the food or service. If you in downtown and want some good Cuban food for lunch, this is without a doubt worth a stop.

I started going to this spot a few months ago because it’s right by my job. It feels like you’re walking into a little Cuban cafe in Miami! The owner Peter is super sweet and is always there, he is great with remembering repeat customers and is super engaging and knowledgeable. The food and coffee is fresh and on point, best empanadas and croquetas you’ll find downtown!!

Yum. Perfect lunch that I was like icing for. Lots of good, authentic food and lots of sandwich choices from Cubans to Turkey and all done very well. Cuban platters on the menu as well.
Friendly staff and perfect for a quick lunch.
The cafe is on the first floor of the building and you won't know it's there till you go in and to the left of the front door. Visitor parking is also available.

Stopped by while in Orlando for work and hope I get to come back again if only to eat here. While I've never been to Cuba I honestly don't know what traditional Cuban food taste like but I can say that not only is the owner Peter and the other workers very nice and friendly but his roast pork is amazing! I had the Tripleta sandwich and it was phenomenal! Fresh baked bread with tender flavorful pork, steak, ham and cheese....yum. The plantains were cooked perfect, sweet and delicious as well. Great job to the entire crew.

The owner and family were extremely helpful when it came to ordering lunch for our work group of 30 people. They made sure everything was taken care of exactly as we needed it. The food and Cuban beverage selection were fantastic, the meals were delicious, and the service was phenomenal. Hope to be in the area again soon so I can introduce others to this amazing place!

Food is always magnificent. Always been with a group and the group always loves it. Service is great. Can't do a lot for the atmosphere given the location but they try and it's cute.

But the food is so good you don't care. Try this place, you won't regret it.

Very good food. Worth the trip

Went to my bank in the same building and decided to give Cuban American Cafe a try today. I had the authentic Cuban sandwich. It was delicious and only $9. I met the owner who was a nice guy and found out he’d been there twenty years. That speaks volumes when a restaurant in this market can last that long. I’ll be back for sure.

Inside the bank building, great coffee ,food and seats inside are modern with cell phone connectivity! Worth a visit!

Super neat local spot. We stopped for drinks but the food looks amazing!!!!

Delicious. Tried their pan con croquetta and its legit. Seems like one of the best Cuban places in Orlando.

We liked the sandwiches and empanadillias . Food was hot and fresh.

Very comfortable, good food, friendly and lots on the menu.

We called ahead for a couple of Cuban sandwiches for a friend, and he said they were outstanding, we got a couple of breakfast sandwiches, and they were excellent. I would definitely recommend to eat here.
