This place was just truly awesome. I really enjoyed every single item I had from them, and I don’t even eat Cuban food that often. It’s a real treat. I tried a wide assortment of delicious items. I tried a malteada, beef and cheese empanada, Jamaican beef patty, ropa vieja, and rice and beans.The two empanadas were incredible. They were crispy on the outside, very crunchy. Delicious stuffing. Very meaty and fresh. The cheese had a nice saltiness to it, and was also delicious. Stuffed to the brim. I loved it and would definitely recommend. Oh, and they were pretty huge, too.The Jamaican patty was quite spicy. I was surprised by how tasty this was. Perhaps a tad bit dry on the edges, but the stuffing was really tasty. Similar to the beef and cheese empanadas but with a different, flakier encasing.The ropa vieja was fantastic. The meat was so tender and perfectly cooked. It was juicy and flavorful. I would 100% recommend it. The meat went perfectly with the flavorful rice and beans, which soaked up the delicious meat juices perfectly.Finally, this was my first time trying a malteada. It’s kind of hard to describe this drink, a bit like caramel? It is very sweet but still quite enjoyable. Id say it’s not my favorite drink, and the smoothies are probably better in my opinion, but it was still nice to try.All in all, I would for certain recommend this place. The meat is amazing, empanadas are fantastic, sides are stellar…what’s not to love? Prices are amazing and portions are too. I’d definitely come back here next time I’m in Lancaster.Vegetarian options: It’s possible to eat vegetarian, with the empanadas, rice dishes, sides, etc but too tempting hahaDietary restrictions: Some solid decently healthy items, like roasted meat, sandwiches, etc

One of my Cuban friends took me to this restaurant. I ordered his recommendation of a Cuban sandwich, black beans and rice, and a potato/meat dish (sorry, I don't know the name). He told me it reminds him of his mother's cooking, which I think is the highest compliment you can give to a restaurant! Very authentic ?
HORRIBLE! I’m sorry but I dont recommend me and my friend went for lunch and service was decent but that food wasn’t there was bones in my empanadilla and a hair in my friends food like are you serious I literally lost my appetite for the rest of the week, the food honestly wasn’t even good .

I make it a point to visit this restaurant when I drive in from out of town to take a continuing ed class for massage therapy . The cosmetology school is across the street.3 years ago I stopped in on my lunch hour to try their food and discovered it was delicious! The servers are friendly and explained the entrees to me so I got just what I wanted!The restaurant is clean but not fancy the food, however, is so so good! Several customers were coming in to pick up their order. The soup or stew not sure what you'd call it was flavorful and so yummy! I would definitely recommend El Cubano.

Great atmosphere to go study or to have a quiet meal w/ someoneThe food was good and not the usual stuff like pizza or sub shops that are everywhere.Enjoyed the Yucca. Never had that before. Food was put together quickly too. The lady even brought it to my table.10/10 definitely going again.Parking: There aren't a ton of spots, but plenty unless it gets real busy.

They just charged me 12 dollars for this order. The food was delicious but I think 12 dollars for this plate that when I opened it was practically empty. It's not the first time I eat there. And a month ago I ordered the same thing and they charged me 8 dollars which seems fair to me but 11 dollars I think is unheard of. Sorry I love your food but I don't think I will return to your restaurant for a long time. It is not the standard Cuban restaurant that exists in this area.
