Cuban Restaurants near Encino, CA

“Despite being a Cuban food restaurant, the place immediately transports you to any other Latin city, (Caracas, Santo Domingo, San José....) it is a place with typical Cuban food, the decoration is not exquisite at all, a Informal atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable, super excellent service, super good food, it has parking. I tried meat sandwich and fried Maduro, also a delicious soursop smoothie, excellent. Others ordered Ropa Vieja Sandwich, Chicken Sandwich, empanadas and suckling pig. All very pleased with our choices. The photo I published shows my bite of the Sandwich as proof of tasting. Recommended.“

“Cafecito is an amazing quick Cuban eatery, that has incredible vegan/vegetarian options! They even custom made me a dish to be vegetarian and it was out of this world delish!! The beyond meat version of their Piccadillo is one of the most flavorful, delicious meat alternatives I’ve ever had! And awesome customer service! A+++“

“This is my second time visiting & the staff is super friendly! My first visit I called day of to get a tres leches cake and everyone loved how it tasted. My second visit I tried more of their pastries & am definitely hooked! A gem of a place and will be visiting more.“

“Service was a bit curt today, but the food delivered as per usual! It was pretty busy since they closed off Venice for bikers and pedestrians so everyone was at Versailles. There was a line for the bathroom LOL. Got to try the oxtail stew which was super beefy and rich in flavor. Favorite dish is still the lechon asado. Pro tip: ask for a side of the garlic sauce with onions to enhance any dish you get!“

“One of my favorite local go-tos! The lomo here is delicious along with the papa rellenas and empanadas. The sangria is a MUST. Seating is outdoors which is perfect with the weather getting warmer. I'm excited to dine in on a Friday when they have a live band playing.“

“Thank you so much, Beaches Weho! You made celebrating my birthday fantastic! When we first arrived, they had reserved the VIP upstairs area for my big party. After we had some concerns about viewing the show from up there, they quickly put together some high top tables for us. I am very appreciative and we all had a great time!“

“I enjoy the steak sandwich. It's like a Latin Hoagie. Flavorful and the bread is lightly toasted so you get a slight crunch in every bite. If you're into hot subs, Philly cheesesteak type of sandwich. This sandwich doesn't disappoint.“

“Great chicken, would greatly appreciate it if service was faster but waiter was very friendly. Ambiance felt like I went on a mini vacay. Get the chicken, that's all you need. It's great they serve food from different countries but the chicken is their specialty.“

“Love this place! The food is delicious! So many options! The service was outstanding. The people that work here are so kind and welcoming. The ambiance is one of my favorite. One of my favorite spots! The chicken, ribs, and oxtail are my favorite!“

“Before moving to SFV, my bf and I would go out to find something to eat, during one of those days we passed in front of this place, we had to make a U turn, the smell of charbroiled chicken was inviting us to go try it, the chicken was delicious, I bought an extra chicken so my family could try it and they too loved it. I have tried the ribs, but for some reason every time the meat was super hard, and didn't even have barbecue sauce, I gave up and no longer order ribs, only the chicken, it has yet to disappoint me. The staff is friendly and they are quick.“
