Cuba 1918 2809 West Southcross Boulevard, San Antonio, TX 78211

"What an amazing experience. From the restoration of the space to the beautiful wood furniture to the live DJ, we felt transported to a tasty street on the Cuban island. We were lucky to have the owner share his and his wife's reason-for-being and the story of his nanny - the Cuban influencer of his youth. We had a wonderful spread of apps (Yucca Fries, Empanaditas and Tostones (MUST get extra green salsa/pico to go with this). We learned about the top dishes to try and he was NOT WRONG! WOW. Tiriditas - this grade A pork belly takes you to places your senses have forgotten existed. Ropa vieja - absolutely divine recipe of the country's most famous entree...a balanced savory-slightly smoky-touch of sweet tender yet toothy brisket. The Cuban sandwich - curated authentic Cuban pan with tender roast pork, ham, and well, all the balanced flavors to make each bit perfect. Oh, don't forget to close out with a Cuban quesito and cup of Cubano - truly, the tender crust of the guava-cream cheese pastry and the balanced yet punchy espresso pulled with sugar was/is the right ending (or beginning) of your visit. Every - absolutely everything - is made to order and with their personal recipes. I believe every recipe has a story...theirs tastes as good as it sounds."

"My first time trying Cuban food and surprisingly I can enjoy everything because it's so tasty. And all of the appetizers we ordered are the same like what we had back in Indonesia...WOW!!! I feel like transported to my home country and I never been to Cuba."

"Great place awesome authentic Cuban eatery has breakfast/ lunch and will be open till 9pm and later on Fridays with a live jazz band and setups with byob option. I got the Cuban and man it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Has a very authentic look inside and a very nice covered outdoor patio in the back. Great place to check out oh the coffee was really good"

"Food had authentic Cuban flavors and the variety of options were excellent. Service was good. Atmosphere was very nice. For constructive feedback, coffees and food should be served hot versus lukewarm. Not deducting a star here as we didn’t tell our server as we were savoring the deliciousness and it wasn’t a showstopper. Will be back!"

"Excellent atmosphere & delicious food! Outstanding service: Wait staff very attentive. We met owner Ray, graciously came to our table to introduce himself and ask about our experience at Cuba 1918, shared with us a bit of Cuba 1918’s history and ongoing events. Will definitely be returning for the delicious cuisine, great atmosphere and superb service!Highly recommend!!"
