La Cubanita Eindhoven in Centrum

Had a nice meal with the family. Plenty of choice, good service.

We used to eat well... it's going downhill fast now. Steak tough... chicken cold and raw. Reported to staff... little response. The cocktails were good, though.

The food was tasty and the staff was friendly, but we had to wait a very long time for our food and we didn't receive some dishes at all. It is annoying that we had to wait so long. This is certainly something that could be improved.

Our first experience at La Cubanita. The restaurant is very dark inside and looks a bit worn. Otherwise, it was tidy and the toilets were clean, although there was a very strong chlorine smell in the restrooms. The staff were friendly and the place was quite full on this weekday evening. We had made a reservation and sat with six people at a rather cramped round table. Because empty plates and bottles were left standing for a long time, we had to start stacking them ourselves to make room for the new dishes. The food was good and well-presented. In the beginning, the service flowed reasonably smoothly. Later in the evening, however, we had to wait a bit longer, around half an hour, and a few dishes were also forgotten. The food was fine, but in terms of atmosphere and service, I give it a six out of ten.

Lovely people-watching on the terrace while enjoying a drink and delicious food. What more could you want?

It was tasty; some dishes were a bit different from what we are used to in Weert, but it was very good again. 😊 The staff was also friendly; we arrived at 5:00 PM and didn't have to wait long for our food. We also received everything we ordered. We had a nice time on the terrace despite the traffic. We will definitely go back again 👍🏻

Tasty food, and especially plenty of it. Ideal for large groups.

Cozy atmosphere at its best Just a shame the pointed peppers were sold out, that is so incredibly tasty But the corn is delicious too

Orders arrived late or sometimes not at all, but were unlimited, so we simply ordered multiple times.

Everyone friendly! Wonderful, cozy food! Delicious!

We have been a total of 6 or 7 times now. But this was our last visit! How it has gone downhill... wrong dishes are served, and after apologies, the correct dish was supposed to be served. Nothing came of it, other ordered dishes didn't arrive, and a little later, many dishes suddenly couldn't be ordered anymore because they were sold out. After waiting 25 minutes for croquettes and 20 minutes for dessert, our patience ran out. No apologies or, for example, a discount, the serving of wrong dishes, and the long waits are the reasons why we will never go here again.

No airco working by 35 degrees outside, charging full 26 people while only 13 arrived and they couldn't keep up with orders for the people that were in already. 45 minutes waiting for a drink. Crazy stupid

This restaurant has deteriorated significantly over the past few years. All the food that should have been hot was lukewarm. Orders were regularly forgotten or placed incorrectly. I knew the menu changes, but nowadays the menu is so uninteresting. The restaurant is also grimy and sticky, and the toilets stink.

We had to wait a bit longer for the drinks, but the rest made up for it completely. Super delicious food and exceptionally friendly people.

I have been to many branches of La Cubanita, but in terms of food, this was unfortunately one of the worst experiences. Fortunately, the excellent service made up for a lot: the staff was very friendly and attentive.

I have always had a good meal every time I have been here.

Terrible food Half past its expiration date, undercooked, and tasteless !!!! I was vomiting for the rest of the evening

Remains the go-to restaurant for tapas. Delicious tapas, lots of choices, and unlimited basically costs next to nothing; for unlimited it was super cheap. It did take a long time for someone to come when we had just sat down, and the bread too. But after ordering, it went reasonably fast.

Hi, we just wanted to let you know that two people in our party became quite ill after our visit to your restaurant yesterday. There was particularly heavy vomiting shortly after the meal. We don't want to accuse anyone directly, but we felt it was important to let you know so that you can potentially investigate. Additionally, the food was cold, and I found the atmosphere unhygienic everywhere. We were literally sitting amidst the filth from the bar. We spotted one friendly young man, but the rest couldn't manage a smile.

Had a nice evening with Lisanne, Chris, and Sophie, and also had a delicious meal.

Very busy Service is friendly but sometimes too little time Food very tasty, nice that you can order via the QR code! Price-quality is definitely okay considering you can ask for unlimited drinks

We had a delicious meal and the staff is very welcoming and friendly.

Nice, cozy eatery. Friendly staff. Tasty food.

Despite the full tables, we still received the food reasonably quickly throughout; no orders were missed. Good atmosphere and decent quality. Hot drinks (coffee) took longer than the rest.

Great atmosphere, really good food and friendly staff make this place one of our favorite place in Eindhoven.

We thought it was fine for a one-time visit, but the speed of the orders and then clearing the empty plates/glasses was poor. It all took a long time. You would expect them to get drinks/food and take the mess away immediately, but that wasn't the case.

I found the food rather bland; most of it lacked flavor. The service wasn't very friendly. Many only spoke English. It was hastily placed on the table... barely any food was properly taken care of. At one point, my daughter-in-law was completely covered in bottles and glasses. We had to ask for them to be taken away. I find this unacceptable. It was disappointing for us!

Very cozy and friendly staff despite English speaking

Too busy to accept new people coming in. Not even a waiting list. What kind of restaurant is this? Definitely doesn't live up to its name. Cubans are one of the most welcoming people in the world. I would give them zero stars if I could

It was a breath of fresh air. We come here regularly, but after tonight, we'll definitely be back. The menu has changed, and all the staff are new. The food was delicious, and the staff were super friendly. Hats off!

Everything takes an absurdly long time, both eating and drinking 🥲

It's gone downhill so terribly, last year everything was running smoothly. Back then the staff was better and had everything under control. Now it's a mess and the food is unbearable. All in all, I won't be back😵

Nice dance workshop with nice people and good vibe!!

There was a mouse running through the restaurant. I told the employee. Nothing was done about it, but oh where? I suddenly lost my appetite, luckily it was during dessert. That's when I realized how dirty the floor was. This place really needs a thorough cleaning. The employees should do something with that information, not just laugh it off. As a solution, they gave us a free drink. But that doesn't change the hygiene. Rob Geus should really come here with his new inspection program. I wouldn't be surprised if all the food in the pantry or kitchen was eaten. My advice, ladies and gentlemen: you're better off going to Helmond; the staff is better, the hygiene is much better, and you'll be taken seriously by the staff.

Delicious tapas with nice and fast staff

Unfortunately, the food wasn't good at all. There was plenty of choice, but the quality was very poor. This was my first and last time. The atmosphere and service were fine, but ultimately, you go there mainly for the food.

The food was great, the pace was good. The service was friendly, but the acoustics upstairs were terrible. It was very noisy, and with the music, it was impossible to have a conversation.

I was a little hesitant after all the reviews, but we had a really delicious meal. The service was fast and friendly, the food arrived quickly, and it was delicious. For the price, it was absolutely perfect!

The food was poorly prepared and some things were just cold. I ordered sangria, which was awful. At checkout, they asked if everything was to your liking. If you let them know you were disappointed, they don't respond. We simply left early and ate somewhere else.

We had a truly wonderful evening here last night! The food was excellent, and the staff went above and beyond. They were all very friendly. Everything was served quickly and attentively. Plenty of choices. We highly recommended the completa package, and it was a very low price too. I see a lot of negative reviews, but I don't recognize myself in them at all!

The place is nice, nice atmosphere! Portions are not super small, so you have 5 rounds with 2 choices. Cocktails are good.

Very poor. Sat for 1.5 hours. Everything was served cold. Orders weren't served immediately and took a very long time. Lots of hair in the food. In the end, we could only eat bread. A very strong sewage smell in the restaurant. The kitchen was also very dirty, and the cooks were cooking without hairnets. We left for another restaurant. Huge disappointment. We won't be returning.

Food was bad, tough, tasteless and dishes took very long.

This is definitely not the place to go for culinary delights. The toast for some dishes was tough, and not every dish received the same level of attention. We sometimes had to wait for ages, resulting in people getting mixed up in the serving process. I think the disposable spoon with dessert and the ice cream in a disposable cup are simply unacceptable in a restaurant. The staff were very friendly! All in all, we had a great meal and delicious cocktails, but I won't be going back anytime soon.

Very tasty food, good beginning, good atmosphere

Good food, but I didn't find much choice. Fast service, unlimited food and drinks. Perfectly organised!

Unfortunately, we normally go to the Tilburg branch. We've never had any problems there. Unfortunately, this time we went to Eindhoven, and it was downright terrible in several ways. It was too busy for the kitchen and waitstaff. This was noticeable: slow service, cold food, the inability to keep up with the drinks (cocktails), missing dishes, etc. Also, November is Cocktail Month, with special cocktails for €4 and €3 (regular & virgin). None of the staff members pointed this out to us, nor was it indicated on the table; only the regular cocktail menu. We happened to see it on the website. The smash burger is a joke: a thick hamburger (no smash burger in sight) with a cold slice of cheddar. The burger was also undercooked, and we saw several tables leave it uneaten. Too bad!

It's been a long time since I've had such a bad meal. The staff clearly couldn't handle the crowds. The wait for food or drinks was long. The dishes were either completely dried out or raw. The meatballs were supposed to come in tomato sauce, but the whole container was completely dried out, and the meatballs were inedible. Raw hamburgers. I won't be coming back here anytime soon.

Great food! We sat on the top floor on a Monday evening. One dish didn't arrive. Otherwise, the food and drinks were delicious! Definitely worth repeating.

Great atmosphere! Friendly staff! They don't have their own parking lot, so be aware that parking in the city center can be expensive. The food isn't anything special, but it is tasty. Perfect for 2-4 people!

Great food for a very reasonable price. It's just a shame that half the staff doesn't speak Dutch, which hinders communication and leads to mistakes.

The all-you-can-eat concept is fantastic here. Small portions where you can try a bit of everything. Although some portions are truly enormous as a sampler 😅

The food was fine, it just took a really long time sometimes

Six months ago was the first time I went to La Cubanita in Eindhoven with my colleague from work. I fell in love with the food, everything was tasty, and the service was great! The food came out really fast. Since then (at least once a month) I always go to La Cubanita in Helmond with my boyfriend, and he loves it too!

Everything was amazing! Young people working really hard here. So, waiting times were okay for such a busy restaurant. I don’t understand people giving 3 stars…

Great service, cozy atmosphere and the food was great.

Had dinner with colleagues. Hadn't been there in a long time because previous experiences weren't good. This evening the food and service were excellent.

We ate here for the first time, unfortunately my husband was unwell so we had to leave early and couldn't try everything... what we had was fine.

We were there on a Tuesday at 5 p.m. Only one table was occupied. We were turned away because they supposedly sold out. We went somewhere else to eat. At 6:15 p.m., the place was still empty. That's the thing about being fully booked. If you don't want guests, why are you open? Or was it because we had a small child with us that they weren't welcome?

We ate on the terrace with three people. Sitting outside, you occasionally have to deal with annoying, noisy drivers, but otherwise, it's a good place. I found the service good and friendly, and also fast enough. The food was fine, with some good and not-so-good options: croquettes, carpaccio, desserts, bread, tacos, and a few other things. We didn't like the kibbeling (fried fish), steak cubes, and chicken pieces. So, for a reasonable price, you can eat well, but don't expect anything special.

Last weekend we had dinner with 10 people. Dramatic! Really. Really all tapas were stale, chewy or just plain bad. The service is too young. Too little experience. Tables were left uncleaned. And one of the people in our party got sick from the shrimp and even passed over his neck on the spot. Then unintentionally had to go earlier to take the person home because he was very ill. We will never go here again. Never really.

The food was excellent, but the number of choices in dishes is not that great.

I've been to many different La cubanita restaurants in different cities and I have to say this one was a disappointment. Some of the dishes at this restaurant aren't so tasty or well presented as other La cubanitas I've been. Very long wait for the food, some dishes never came, even after asking the waitress about it and her telling me that she order them again, still it never came, and at the end of the dinner I waited 34 minutes for 1 dessert.

We had the all-you-can-eat menu with some friends, and the food was excellent! Getting drinks proved difficult at times; it took ages to get a drink order (even after asking several times), and drinks were forgotten. To top it all off, there was a mouse running around the restaurant.

Don't go. We didn't have a reservation, but we couldn't get in with two adults and two children, even though there were four people inside. The excuse was that there was no staff. Just stay closed.

The food was truly delicious. Definitely worth repeating. And friendly staff.

We've been here a lot in the past...it was always good...last weekend, however, it was quite bad...the dishes were greasy and not tasty...the potatoes were floating in oil...the flamkuche was undercooked and had only 1 (!!!) small piece of salmon on it...I went to look in the kitchen and saw only very young staff and no guidance at that moment...it's a real shame for this La Cubanita, which I used to like...the preparation of the food needs to be taken seriously...I'll stay away for the time being...

After a few years, La Cubanita was given another chance, and it was also our last. We were offered a table, but after 15 minutes, no staff had come by, so I went to the bar myself to call someone. The food was either overcooked or undercooked, floating in sauce or barely tasted any sauce. The desserts were tasteless and clearly came straight from the freezer without being fully thawed. So, no next time for us.

Great place to grab a bite to eat with colleagues. The all-inclusive price, under €40 per person, is an excellent deal, making it hard to go wrong. We were upstairs, and the food and drinks were served fairly quickly. The quality was good, although not particularly gourmet. I'll definitely be back.

Super slow bringing the food out.

Normally we always go to La Cubanita in Weert, but this time we went to Eindhoven. We were so enthusiastic about La Cubanita that we took our friends out for dinner, but what a huge disappointment (because of the new menu). The service was excellent, the staff friendly, but it's very noisy and not as cozy as in Weert. They recently introduced a new menu, and all the favorites are gone. So tonight we tried a lot of new things, and what can I say? One star is already too much. Almost everything has some kind of bread or other dough, and the tacos were so "crispy" (almost burnt) that you couldn't really taste the contents. No, we used to go to La Cubanita monthly, so we won't be going back. We won't be going to Weert either, because the new menu is a real disappointment, and the food is simply not good anymore. If you do like the food, which we can hardly imagine after today's experience, then choose Weert over Eindhoven. It's more than worth the extra drive. If they bring back the old menu, we'll go back, but with the current menu, we won't be seeing them again. Such a shame.

We visited the cozy restaurant on a hot day. Our table was close to the air conditioning, which caused some people in our group to get cold towards the end. The food was good, but nothing special. The service was a bit chaotic, and ordering was done via an app... and then it had to remember what you'd ordered. The staff doesn't have fixed table numbers, so we had to deal with different servers at our table, who were sometimes difficult to understand. Drinks often had to be ordered long, even though they also had to be ordered via the app. All in all, we enjoyed the food and drinks. The banana mocktail was delicious.

The place looks beautiful, you feel the Latin American vibes. But the food isn't that special it is inspired by Cuba but the flavours are very much Dutch. The chef just have to pay more attention to get the right flavours and plating it more with style. It was okay but not a place we will be back.

My mother-in-law and I were out for the day yesterday and decided to have dinner at your place afterward, and it was a great choice! We had a delicious meal, and the service was very friendly!

Really great. Google says I've been here. I can't remember.

The experience could have been better without the mouse wandering around the room...

They have mice! Running inside the restaurant. We and other customers told them about it but they said they know, yet don't seem to care.

Had a nice quiet meal. We have been here before and it is always good.

The food was actually super tasty, only a pity that our dessert was already half melted. Furthermore, you have to be careful when you go from outside to inside to go to the toilet for example, because there are various steps up and down. I have a bad sense of depth and it was very poorly indicated 😒

Zeer vriendelijk personeel. Eten was gewoon prima. En al helemaal voor dat geld. Mensen klagen snel dat blijkt wel. Ze waren iets vergeten. Aangegeven en meteen werd het geregeld gewoon goed:)

**A tasteful and atmospheric evening out – an experience to cherish** Upon arrival at the restaurant, the warm and inviting atmosphere was immediately noticeable. Although the music was quite loud at first, it quickly became something you get used to and eventually even added to the lively atmosphere. The interior of the restaurant was particularly tasteful: a palette of vibrant, well-coordinated colours gave the interior a modern yet cosy feel. The space felt thoughtfully designed, including the presence of an upper floor that not only provided extra capacity but also created an open, vibrant atmosphere. The seating was exceptionally comfortable. The chairs provided soft support, allowing one to relax and enjoy the meal. Perhaps a small point for improvement was the cleanliness of the table, which was slightly less clean than desired. Although this was not a major stumbling block for me personally, I can imagine that it might leave a less positive impression for others. **Appetizer and first impressions of the food** The meal started off excellently with fresh bread, accompanied by a silky, high-quality aioli, full of flavor without being overpowering. The tapenade, on the other hand, had an olive flavor that was so strong that it seemed to dominate the other flavors — a bit too much of a good thing. The tomato and mozzarella skewers, on the other hand, were nicely balanced. They consisted of exceptionally fresh tomatoes and although there was a bit too much sauce on them, they were well seasoned and flavorful. The watermelon salad was also a particularly successful dish: small pieces of sweet watermelon were combined with crunchy lettuce, almonds, creamy feta cheese, a subtle hint of mint and a well-balanced dressing that transformed the whole into a true summer dish. **Main courses and strong flavors** The chorizo ​​croquettes were among the highlights of the evening. The outside was perfectly crispy and the inside silky soft with a strong, savory chorizo ​​flavor. The accompanying piccalilly mayonnaise showed attention to detail; it was refined, fresh and complimented the croquettes perfectly. The dish with cheese and mussels was slightly less successful. Although the mussels themselves were tasty and well-cooked, the smell of the cheese used was so intense that it distracted from the dish. In this case, the well-known expression “what stinks, tastes good” unfortunately turned out not to be true. The taste of the cheese was even stronger than the smell and overpowered the whole. Fortunately, this was more than compensated for by the prawns with garlic oil. The prawns were perfectly prepared, juicy and tasty, with the powerful garlic notes in the background and a fresh touch of lemon that brightened up the dish. A real treat. The tagine with chicken gyros and feta cream also deserves praise: the gyros was buttery soft and full of flavour, while the airy cream elegantly rounded off the dish. **A sweet finale** To conclude, we enjoyed a refined lemon meringue pie. The cake was nicely balanced: sweet with a refreshing hint of lemon, light and not too heavy. The Rocky Road brownie was also a hit. What made this brownie special was that it was not overly sweet, which allowed the rich chocolate flavour to come into its own. A successful conclusion to a tasteful evening. **Service and atmosphere: warm and welcoming** Not to forget, the staff was extremely friendly, involved and social. Their enthusiasm and professionalism made us feel welcome right away. The music in the background – although somewhat present at first – ultimately turned out to contribute to the overall experience. An absolute must for anyone looking for a lively, tasteful and relaxed culinary evening.

The food was all very tasty and nicely presented. It generally didn't take long after we ordered to be served. Maybe because it wasn't that busy. Only the last dessert took a relatively long time (about 17 minutes). Cocktails are reasonably priced and the service was good.

Terrible experience. The food was cold as if it came directly from the freezer and when we complained they apologized and we were told to keep them up to date with whether the next course was better. The next course tasted poorly and wasn’t great. When we told the staff this they brought us the check for the full price unprompted while we had barely ordered anything, said it was throughly a shame and whether that would be all. They blamed the bad food on “safety regulations” telling them to put the settings of their fridge a certain way and told us that they didn’t really like their own food anymore either. Other restaurants seem to be able to cook in a way that is both safe and tasty and I’m sad that that doesn’t seem possible here. Overall a terrible experience that was poorly handled by staff.

Overall a very nice concept. However, all dishes lack taste and care. Some flavors do not fit together, I thought it was a shame. Very young staff who are fine but also need guidance. Receipts that are on the food so that they know which table it should be brought to, not hygienic. The place itself could also be a bit cleaner in my opinion. I am sure that if the dishes were looked at again and there were some adjustments regarding the seasoning of the dishes, my review would be a lot higher. Not for me for the time being.

Very disappointing! Many dishes were just not tasty. Clearly no real chef in the kitchen 🤔A very long hair on the melon .... the waiter wanted to take the hair away instead of serving another dish. The service was also quite chaotic. A few years ago I liked to come here ... now I prefer to go elsewhere from now on

voor de eerste keer naar cubanite geweest. Bij binnenkomst erg hartelijk ontvangen. Eerste indruk was dat het er erg gezellig en warm uit zag. de lieve en vriendelijke bediening gaf mij een goed gevoel. Het assortiment was prima. Voor elk wat wills. het eten wat goed bereid en erg lekker. heb er een goed gevoel en volle maag aan over gehouden.ga zeker terug

After our previous (lesser) experience we gave La Cubanita a second chance. After entering we waited fifteen minutes for the first contact with an employee. Then we placed our order, drinks arrived after another fifteen minutes and another 10 minutes later 1 of the 8 dishes. 1 warm dish..bread for the kids in advance (also the extra ordered bread) was nowhere to be seen. People around us warned us, they had been sitting there for a while without having eaten much and rounds that had been skipped. Also the toilet was closed and a few more strange stories. We paid for the drinks. And left. We went to eat somewhere else. We will not be returning to La Cubanita.

The food was tasty, the service was top notch. Unfortunately I got sick immediately after eating and it was over after 3 hours. Unfortunately got food poisoning.

Delicious food for a very good price, friendly service.

Dishes were delivered quickly and were usually tasty. The WiFi for placing orders worked slowly and dropped out regularly

Very cool, good fast service and delicious food!

The dishes were not what I expected, one better than the other.

The food was good. It was strange that the dishes did not come for the whole group at the same time, but in parts.

Something for everyone, friendly staff

Good food at good prices but confusing ordering. Printed and online menus not quite in sync. Most dishes we had were good

Great food and super friendly staff

At the time it was all delicious, large portions, served quickly. But afterwards it was terrible; food poisoning..

Extremely overpriced for very mediocre food and typical service. Well, if that's your thing...?

It's a shame if you have made a reservation and received confirmation and then you find yourself standing in front of a closed door with a note on it saying that they are closed today due to a power outage. You would think they would cancel the reservations. After all, they have an email address, so it wouldn't be that difficult, but it would be neat. So now we drove there for Jan asshole. And probably not just us.

Reserved, and stood in front of a closed door! Little one to let you know...
