" Wow, just wow! Cuban Cakes blew my expectations out of the water. The torta was packed with juicy flavors and so fulfilling. Not only is the food fabulous, but they always have top-notch service. I have been there multiple times and have always walked away satisfied. Yes, the physical space is small, but that's just another reason to grab your food to go and enjoy it elsewhere. I can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have frequented Cuban Cakes for years, and the quality has never wavered. I especially love the cubanas; they are always packed with vibrant flavors and a hearty portion. The small venue might feel overwhelming for some, but I find it adds to the experience. The staff is friendly and dynamic, ensuring a pleasant visit regardless of the hustle. It’s great knowing I can always count on them when I’m craving Cuban food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've only been visiting for a short while now, but Cuban Cakes is quickly becoming a favorite of mine! The tortas have that authentic street food taste, filled with fresh ingredients and great seasoning. It feels like a hidden gem, especially because they are open 24/7! I'm impressed by how generous their portions are, and their prices are very reasonable. Even though the space is limited, it doesn't take away from my experience. The service has always been good too. I would definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Cuban Cakes again, and I'm reminded why I keep returning. The tortas were as delicious as ever, but I noticed the prices have crept up a little without any clear explanation. The flavors are still incredible, and the portions are generous, but I hope they reconsider constant price hikes. The staff remains friendly, and that keeps the experience positive. I’ll certainly be back to see how things evolve. " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment I walked in, the scent of deliciousness engulfed me. I opted for a torta, and boy was it a good choice! Each bite was bursting with flavor, especially with the chipotle sauce adding a nice kick. The no-frills atmosphere really invited a cozy street food vibe. However, the seating is quite limited, and it felt cramped with a lot of customers. The service staff was friendly and quick to help, which I appreciated. Nevertheless, the flavor is what really makes Cuban Cakes shine. Will absolutely return to explore more of their menu! " (*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*)
