My partner and I stopped in at La Cubana on Ossington on Wednesday, March 27 for early dinner. The restaurant itself is incredibly clean, and very well designed. The server/bartender that welcomed us was incredibly cordial and pleasant, and served us quickly. I had the guava BBQ short rib plate and my partner had the pork plate. I also had the "La Havana" cocktail. To say the food and drink were amazing honestly does not do it justice. This place is incredible! We will absolutely come back again.
Glen and Alfred and this whole restaurant is amazing. Came on a really busy Saturday night and were still greeted with prompt and amazing service. Staff was welcoming and really cared about our experience, they were kind enough to recommend their favourites as it was our first time. Great time here with the whole clean and vibrant ambience and the food was delicious! 10/10

I have tried the BBQ Beef short rib plate and it was absolutely amazing. The beef is so tender and juicy with a perfect sauce on top to add even more flavor. The rice and the salad are also perfect. The plate also comes with plantain but they were out when I visited. In addition, we also tried their lime pie/ cheesecake and it was the perfect dessert to end off our meal. The vibe at the restaurant is also very vibrant and welcoming. I would definitely come back!

Too many condiments and too little meat on the short rib burger, out of a few things, server disappeared for long periods.

I love this area in Toronto because there's so many spots to eat and explore and so many things to do. My fiancé is obsessed with Cuban sandwiches (he just watched that Chef movie and series on Netflix so I guess I can't blame him).I actually went here on a solo date and I loved it! I felt very comfortable here, they're very solo date friendly. The staff was wonderful. The waitress convinced me to get a side of fries and she was honestly so right for that!So I ordered the classic Pressed Cubano which has Ham/Pork, Gruyere cheese, Red Onions, Comichon, Grainy mustard and Chipotle mayo; I had their side of fries as well as a Cafe Con Leche. The sandwich was SO good - I absolutely love Gruyere and Chipotle mayo - unbelievable. I was actually so surprised at how good the Cafe Con Leche was! I saw people come in to just get that to-go and go along about their day and I honestly will be doing the same if I'm ever in the neighborhood again. Nothing hits like their Cuban coffees and sandwiches.Next time, I do want to try one of their plates that has plaintains, the people around me ordered that and I feel like I must get it next!
The food was very average for the price listed. I paid around $65 for two plates that should not have been more than $40 at best.

Delicious and tasty Cuban sandwich!! The guava short rib was fall off the bone tender, and came with rice and beans which were well seasoned. The yuca frites were incredible, super light and airy but so crispy and delicious. The conch fritters were fresh to order.
