" I've been coming to Cuban Cakes for years now, and I can't say enough about how consistent they are. The tortas are filled with high-quality ingredients, and every bite bursts with flavor. There's something very comforting about knowing that you can get your favorite food at any hour of the day. While I wish they had more variety of sauces, the chipotle works well for me. A cozy yet bustling atmosphere, and despite the small size, the service is usually very fast. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Cuban street food! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who frequently seeks out street food, I was blown away by Cuban Cakes. The tortas here are simply top-notch! The enjoyment doesn’t just come from the food—it’s also about the experience. The atmosphere is casual, and you're likely to encounter other food lovers just as passionate as you are. I noticed that even during peak hours, the service remains spot on. They manage to keep a friendly demeanor while working efficiently. Highly recommend the cubana torta for anyone looking for authentic flavors that pack a punch! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally got around to trying Cuban Cakes, and I have to say, the hype is real! This place serves some of the best tortas I’ve ever had. The ingredients were super fresh, and the flavors came together perfectly. It's clear they're dedicated to preserving Cuban food traditions. The downfalls would be the small seating and occasional wait, but that only hints at how popular and loved this place is! I’m definitely planning to return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cuban Cakes has been my go-to for satisfying late-night cravings for as long as I can remember! Their torta cubana has a special place in my heart. It’s packed with juicy meats and fresh toppings, and there's nothing quite like the chipotle sauce they use. Sure, the seating is limited, but the flavors are outstanding and definitely worth the wait! The staff is often friendly, which makes every visit a pleasure. Whether you’re sober or indulging after a night out, this spot never disappoints! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cuban Cakes is the epitome of what I expect from a traditional street food experience. The tortas served here are rich in authentic flavors, which is apparent from the first bite. The staff were enthusiastic and managed the rush with ease. The seating area is quite cramped, so I would recommend takeout. If you're looking for satisfying and hearty tortas that hit the spot, this place is worth visiting again and again. " (*Curated Review*)

" For my first visit, I had high hopes after hearing rave reviews. The first thing that hit me was the irresistible aroma wafting through the air. I ordered the torta cubana and was amazed at the portion size for the price. It came loaded with savory meat and fresh ingredients. It’s evident that the flavors are well thought out and authentic to Cuban cuisine. The service stepped up as well—very friendly and accommodating. If you're in the area and in need of a late-night snack, I can’t recommend this place enough! I'll definitely be a repeat customer. " (*Curated Review*)

" Today was my first visit after hearing many friends rave about it. I must say, I left feeling satisfied but not necessarily blown away. The torta was decent, though I wished it was a bit spicier. I could see the potential, but there are other places that I've enjoyed more. The service was friendly, and I appreciated that, making my experience more pleasant. There’s certainly a good vibe, but I can't rate this place as highly yet. Maybe if I try a different torta next time, my view will change! " (*Curated Review*)
