La Cubanita in Alphen aan den Rijn is a cozy place for an evening out. The atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant, making it perfect for enjoying an evening of tapas with friends, family, or just the two of you. The concept of ordering various small dishes is fun, as it allows you to try out many different flavors and share them together. The dishes are generally tasty, and there is plenty of choice. The variety of tapas, in particular, makes the evening enjoyable and ensures you won't run out of food quickly. The service was also friendly and helpful. The atmosphere in the restaurant certainly contributes to the experience and makes you want to stay a little longer. A minor point for improvement is that during busy times, it can take a bit longer for your order to be taken or for the dishes to arrive at the table. Additionally, some tapas vary somewhat in terms of taste and quantity. However, this does not detract much from the overall experience. All in all, a cozy and fun place to eat tapas in Alphen aan den Rijn. Especially if you enjoy trying different small dishes and want to dine together in a convivial atmosphere, La Cubanita is a good choice. I had a lovely evening there and would definitely come back again. Four stars!

We enjoy visiting La Cubinata. For us, Alphen was a new location. This location is situated in a lovely spot, surrounding a central square, which provides plenty of natural light and allows for a pleasant view of the outdoors. The interior of the location is also very calming. The food is good and tasty, as we have come to expect, and I have little to complain about here. The staff is also very friendly. You are certainly well catered for at La Cubinata, especially if you are gluten-free, as there are many choices available. However, a real problem is that you have to wait a long time for your rounds. We waited fifteen minutes several times, and sometimes even half an hour. That is really too long. They could certainly improve on this.

Unfortunately, a very disappointing experience at La Cubanita in Alphen aan den Rijn. Precisely because we have been here often and always enjoyed coming, this evening was an even greater letdown. We had to wait well over an hour before the first round even partially arrived at the table. And unfortunately, the food that followed was absolutely not what one would expect. The calamari rings were really burnt, the battered fish was fried for far too long, and the steak was dry and clearly not well prepared. As if that wasn't enough, a member of the wait staff then dropped a bottle of cola from a tray, making our table and belongings dirty. What disappointed us most was that no one came to our table to ask if we needed cloths or to check if everything was in order. We then politely reported our complaints to the wait staff. Unfortunately, we received no feedback whatsoever. When settling the bill, we were initially offered a maximum discount of 5%. After I indicated that I did not find this appropriate given everything that had happened, I was told that a maximum discount of 10% was possible. I did not agree with that either. I then stated that I was not planning to pay the full bill in this manner. The response to this was: “Oh, are we going down that road?” It was then said that the police would be called if that were the case. We found this to be a particularly unpleasant and unprofessional way to handle a customer complaint. It is not just about the discount or compensation for us, but primarily about the way we were treated as customers. Ultimately, compensation was provided, but that did not remove the disappointment. Especially since we used to enjoy coming here and considered ourselves regular customers, we find it particularly regrettable that a complaint was handled in this way. Unfortunately, this evening has severely damaged the trust we had in La Cubanita. For us, no more La Cubanita for the time being.

The food was delicious! The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was great. It was incredibly busy, and I had a question about a dish. It was addressed immediately, and after paying, they asked if everything was okay with the dish. That's how you really see your customers when you ask in a crowded restaurant. This has recently become my new favorite restaurant.

We dined there last Tuesday and were pleasantly surprised. Upon arrival, we were kindly escorted to our table by one of the waitresses. Throughout the evening, we were also served very friendly and efficiently. The woman who was clearly in charge (short, long blonde hair) handled everything very skillfully and with a radiant smile. We were frequently asked if everything was to our liking and if we wanted anything else to drink (the drinks selection is extensive, including many cocktails/mocktails at a good price 🍸🍹). When we missed a dish, she brought it to our table within a minute. With such a smile, it was hard to blame her 😉 The food was fine. Don't expect a 5-star restaurant, but for the price, it is certainly reasonable. The tacos, in particular, were a hit. All in all, we had a very successful evening. We will definitely be returning to this location.

Unlimited food and drinks for a fixed price. It is a clear concept. Tastes great. The staff kindly do their best, but at the beginning (the busiest moment) things are a bit chaotic. We received the tip to simply place our new order after the set period (a very good tip); this indeed increased our chances of getting our order, as the delivery order was sometimes rather odd. Once the peak was over, it went much better. The staff remained friendly. Outside is perhaps a bit more atmospheric, but you mostly create that yourself. Unlimited food and drinks for a fixed price.

A peaceful breath of fresh air compared to their former super-busy location and noisy predecessor. Ordering via mobile is quick and frequent.

Crammed into a corner behind the restrooms, even though it certainly wasn't full. Five people at a table of four. Long waits for food, often only one or two of the five people were eating. The menu differs from the website! (Apparently, during checkout, someone said they were the only ones in Alphen using a different menu, because, for example, steak wedges at No. 28 took so long to prepare.) Now, No. 28 was a small steak on a small piece of baguette, overcooked. A real shame, and indeed, as you've read elsewhere, there were few plate and glass collections. The restrooms were very old and not exactly clean. No more Alphen for us.

Cozy restaurant with easy reservations via the website. Ordering is easy by phone by scanning the QR code on the table. Food can sometimes be served in a long wait. It's also a shame that drinks and desserts are not included, hence the 4 stars! Update (October 2025): Unfortunately, La Cubatita Alphen has deteriorated significantly since the new manager took over. Everything takes a very long time these days: you sometimes sit for 10–15 minutes without being helped and have to ask to activate the table yourself before you can order by phone. We received the wrong dishes (chorizo ​​croquettes instead of cheese croquettes), and some dishes didn't arrive as ordered—burgers and chicken skewers without sauce arrived with sauce. Much of the food was also lukewarm or tough. This used to be the best branch, but unfortunately, it's no longer. The order is also incorrect: you order a sandwich with a drink, but the sandwich arrives only after the food has been served. It's a shame, because that used to be a good thing. And finally, we received a broken bread basket—not that I care, but it does look a bit odd (see photo 😅). At the end, we were politely asked if everything was to our liking. We honestly stated that it wasn't and received an apology, but that felt inadequate. Especially since the manager himself knew that several things had gone wrong at our table. The service is doing its best, but it seems to be mainly due to the management. Tip: make it possible to uncheck ingredients for each dish via the ordering system. Hopefully, things will return to normal soon, but we're skipping this branch for now.

My second time eating here, and unfortunately, I was disappointed again. The first time (a while ago) wasn't up to par, but I decided to give it another try because I didn't want to drive any further. The calamari was completely different (and worse) than at other locations. Many dishes were also cold, and we had to wait a very long time after each order. It almost felt like it was intentional to get you to order less within your reservation time. Compared to La Cubanita in Leiden or Woerden, it's a world of difference — the food is much tastier and the service much faster. It's not that the service here is bad, but the quality and taste are simply incomparable. I see many other reviews have the same complaints, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be taken seriously. It's a shame, because when you dine out, you just want a good experience. I won't be going back to Alphen for a third time; if I'm going to spend money, I'd rather get it right the first time!

La Cubanita where we always go was so full to this. The staff was very friendly and that was the only positive one. We had introduced 4 rounds in an hour, but 1 person of our company just got part of her 2nd round. Others just nothing and others already had their third round. And others just missed sharing of their rounds. Most tapas were cold or lukewarm. Butter not melted well with the steak skewers etc. The restaurant was not even for a quarter full and the kitchen already had trouble? It all took a long time. Sometimes you got 4 signs at the same time and sometimes quietly 15 minutes. After 4 rounds we had had it with it waiting and not really very good food. Anyway, the new card is a big teleurstoning.

Indicated at checkout that it is not very hygienic if food is served from trays containing someone else's dirty dishes.

You have the all-in package with food, drinks and desserts for 1 price. This is more expensive than the package without drinks included. Please note, no one will ask you if you want something to drink. So if you want to benefit from unlimited drinks, you will have to put in a lot of effort yourself. In addition, your table remains half full, barricaded with dirty glasses and plates all evening. As well as we heard ministry gossiping about us. We indicated at checkout that we were not satisfied and subsequently received no further compensation or anything like that.

We were here with the whole team and went all-in on the tapas adventure — unlimited choice of dishes, 2 per round, and believe me: our workforce has used that system to its limits. The service was friendly and attentive, and even though a clearly green staff member accidentally left a few drinks on the floor (cheers for the floor), the atmosphere remained great. Everything was resolved quickly and neatly, and we felt welcome all evening. The cocktails? Delicious. The wine? More than fine. The dishes? So delicious that some had to turn down dessert due to a serious case of "I really shouldn't have had that last cheese croquette but it was too good" syndrome. Personal recommendations: the corn (grilled, juicy, slightly addictive) and the cheese croquettes (small, rich, cheesy bliss). But actually everything is good — from fish to vegetarian, you won't be short of anything here. Cubanita is not a place for a quiet evening with a book, but for an evening full of laughter, tasting, sharing and ordering another cocktail because you can. We'll be back. With extra belly space.

We came in very hungry and got a nice sandwich with aioli, but then it started, the first dish we got was something we had not ordered and was mediocre, then the bruschetta came, it tasted like rusk with soft, soggy tomatoes, the spicy steaks were way too overcooked and only tasted like sambal, the spa ribs came from the microwave and the prawns were mediocre, then…. Quesadilla was like a soggy oil ball with dirty tuna, the spare ribs tasted like a shoe sole and the mushrooms like the shoe sole's brother, the salmon was tougher than the steak and dirtier than the champions, then came the watermelon salad, you would think it was nice and fresh but nothing could be further from the truth, you wouldn't believe it but it tasted like... paprika, yes you should be right, paprika, no watermelon taste to be seen, the cocktails were alcohol empty and the wine tasted like cork. Furthermore, we had a great evening because of the laughter attack you get from how bad this restaurant is!

It got quite busy during the week. But ordering with the app was fast and convenient. Furthermore, the service was quick and friendly and it remained quiet despite the number of guests. Good atmosphere!

We zijn met de hele familie bij Cubanita geweest. Met een grote groep van 22 pers. De lange tafel was ingedeeld in groepjes zodat iedereen apart kon bestellen. Was top geregeld en het eten was ook heerlijk met nieuwe gerechtjes op de kaart.

Leuke atmosfeer en zeer vriendelijke bediening. Prijzen redelijk. Het eten kun je niet echt / Spaans / Cubaans oid noemen. Gerechtjes vlak en flauw van smaak. Matig gekruid en veelal Hollandse smaken. De bestel app is helemaal drama. We hadden een aantal gerechten besteld( zei de app) maar na 45 minuten niets ontvangen. App gaf aan dat we nog 4 gerechtjes extra mochten bestellen. Serveerster gevraagd die beaamde dat besteld was. Nog 10 min later nog niets. Weer gevraagd en bleek dat we 5 ipv 4 gerechten besteld hadden waardoor de app blokkeert zonder uitleg maar wel weergeeft dat we nog 4 konden bestellen. Uiteindelijk met kaartje besteld en na 1 uur een z1e hapje. Liever niet meer la cubanita

I feel like the quality of the food at La Cubanita is declining. Five out of six people had stomach problems the next day. Service and atmosphere were excellent.

The food was very disappointing. Everything either comes from the deep fryer or the microwave or is reserved cold/still frozen. It's a shame that this is called a restaurant. If you want to eat out, I would recommend somewhere where you get a good hot meal that is not prepared by a microwave chef or deep fryer. The service was excellent, but very rushed and not very customer friendly.

Hier komen wij niet meer !!! Het was stervens koudin het,we hebben kleedjes om ons heen geslagen, want tja met je jas aan eten doe ook niet. Blijkbaar was het in de keuken ook koud, want het eten werd lauw opgediend, en duurde lang, ondanks dat het niet druk was, we kregen dan ook het idee dat de kok niet aanwezig was en alles Au bain-marie werd opgediend, spareribs waren niet gegrild, biefstuk was taai,zalm was gortdroog, rauwe ham was taai , in ieder geval het was het geld niet waard

Had dinner with a group of 10 on Boxing Day. Not friendly in advance, I had called that we would come with 10 instead of 9, but that was actually a problem. It was said that they would have to move everything around, but when we arrived a chair had been placed on the end side, so why react in such a customer-unfriendly manner. The day after the dinner, 5 out of 10 people became very ill. Lots of vomiting, diarrhea and fever. Very coincidental, it is almost inevitable that this came from the food Never again La Cubanita Alphen aan den Rijn for us.

Delicious and above all a pleasant meal. Always a different taste, always a surprise. Some dishes were well thought out and cleverly prepared for such large quantities, others seemed reheated. Still, very nice for this price!! Time flew by searching, ordering and exchanging each other. We ended up being more full than expected. As a result, we ended up skipping dessert.

What bad service yesterday. I will definitely never come here again! After 45 minutes I received my first dish (carpaccio). Indicated to the waitress that if we are only allowed to sit there for 2 hours and 15 minutes and it continues like this, we will have barely eaten anything at the end. She promised to get better. After another 15 minutes my friend got his first dish and it was still cold. Indicated that if it continues like this, I will not pay. Improvement was promised again. After 2 hours, my friend and I had both only received 3 dishes and the dishes that should have been warm were still cold. And they charge 34 euros for that!! I walked to the bar and said that I think it's really absurd and that I'm leaving without paying. The lady behind the bar apologized and said she understood. We only had to pay for the drinks. Thanks for ruining our evening!

We had a delicious meal!!! It remains a mess with ordering tapas in rounds. This means you are not eating at the same time as your table companions. And we did not receive several tapas that were ordered. Maybe a good plan to take 2.50 off the bill for each tapas not received. If you order a tapas but do not eat it, you as a guest also have to pay 2.50 for it.

Where should we start? Hoofddorp branch, read and learn well. We arrived half an hour earlier, also due to... the bad weather forecasts. The sky looked black. We were received very warmly with a big smile. Immediately have something to drink and a sandwich. The tapas were delicious and served quickly. What a cozy atmosphere inside, no crowded cattle and very quiet, despite full occupancy. The friendly atmosphere among the ladies was also palpable at the table. It was a nice and pleasant evening. We went there with heavy hearts because of our Hoofddorp experience... They were left with a hefty gift voucher lol. Girls! thank you and certainly see you in Alphen.

We had a delicious meal with the Satémber promotion. When ordering, we were asked if we wanted sweet potato fries or regular ones; we chose one regular and one sweet. However, when paying, we received a higher bill than expected and noticed that an extra €3 was being charged for the sweet potato fries. This was not communicated by the waitress in any way. Naturally, we did not agree to this, and only after they kept us waiting for a long time and we had to tell the story three times was the bill corrected. Mistakes can always happen, and if resolved properly, that's no problem, but don't make your guests wait like dogs at the checkout counter because a manager is supposed to come—who then never showed up, and the waiter had corrected it. All in all, I doubt I will be coming back, mainly due to the way we were treated at the end with the long wait.
