" What a delightful experience at Cuban Kitchen! The ambiance is warm and inviting, which perfectly complements the bold flavors of the cuisine. I had the Ropa Vieja and it was so tender and packed with flavor. The service was top-notch, making sure our glasses were always full. I will definitely be coming back to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food is undeniably delicious, but the service could use some improvement. It took a while to get our order, and when it arrived, my sandwich was cold. I will probably try takeout next time and give it another chance since the flavors were really good. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations visiting Cuban Kitchen, but while the food was good, it didn’t quite hit the spot for me. The lechon had good texture, but I felt like it was missing something. The atmosphere was lively, and the service was decent. I might give it another go to try different dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" The vibrant colors and cheerful decor made my dining experience even more pleasant. I enjoyed the Cuban sandwich, which tasted quite good, although the meat didn’t stand out as much as I’d hoped. However, the service was warm and welcoming. I’d still consider returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" While Cuban Kitchen had a good reputation, my recent visit left me a bit underwhelmed. The service was friendly, but I found the food slightly lacking. The rudeness of some staff seemed to overshadow the dining experience. I hope this was just an off day, as I'd like to give them another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having lived in Florida, I've always missed authentic Cuban cuisine. Cuban Kitchen did not disappoint! The yucca fries were crispy, and the ropa vieja was just like I remember. The service was quick and attentive. A great find for anyone craving Cuban food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Although the food at Cuban Kitchen was decent, the execution was lacking in some areas. I ordered the pollito mojito, and while it had great seasoning, the chicken was a bit dry. The atmosphere was nice, and the service was friendly enough, but I didn't leave with that 'wow' factor. I might give it another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)
