La Cubanita Heerlen in Wijk 33 Heerlen-Centrum

After having a less-than-good experience here years ago, we decided to give it another try. The food is good, and the service is quick. The interior looks a bit 'unattractive'. It is a large space with tables and little other decoration.

Very good restaurant with delicious tapas. Very friendly staff.

Had a delicious meal with friends and the staff were very nice.

The four of us went to eat at La Cubanita yesterday as a nice way to end the holiday. If only we hadn't done that. We were greeted nicely upon arrival, but that turned out to be the highlight. It seemed like we didn't exist for 2.5 hours. We had to wait about half an hour for the dishes, so in the end, only 4 rounds were ordered. That’s how I’ll get my money's worth, yeah! With every round we ordered, the food arrived every 5 minutes all the time, meaning we couldn't eat together even once. The food was still warm for the first 2 rounds, but after the first 2 rounds, even the food arrived cold! At one point, there were even other people waiting at the door for 15 minutes, only to be turned away. Finally, some of the dishes we ordered hadn't even arrived. Next time, we'll go back to Maastricht. It's a real shame it turned out this way.

We waited more than 40 minutes for our food. And when we were finished and wanted to leave, we still had to pay much more than the value of what we actually received. Scandalous service, and if it continues like this, we will never come back.

The food was tasty and flavorful. The mocktails were also good. However, serving the dishes took a long time each time (if the dish arrived at all), although it wasn't actually that busy. We mentioned this to one of the hostesses who came by at one point. After that conversation, the wait wasn't too bad. The restaurant itself is otherwise nicely and tastefully decorated.

Had a delicious meal. Friendly staff!

We were with a large group; you can order small appetizers, two per round. I found the steak tough, not tasty. The squid rings were impossible to chew. We had all-inclusive for 36.50. Not everyone likes the same thing, and I won't be back.

Had to wait an hour for meatballs in tomato sauce even though it wasn't busy, food came out of the microwave, plates were piping hot, old plates weren't cleared, we got up and left after two rounds it was that disgusting, couldn't get it down our throats, nice concept but less so the execution. I also got a stomach ache immediately afterwards.

We had a wonderful meal yesterday! We enjoyed every dish and it was served quickly (despite the crowd). So very nice! Unfortunately, despite the heater, it's still less comfortable to sit in the lower middle. There's a constant cold pull on your back, which makes it uncomfortable. With the heater, it's already much better than it was before. In short: we enjoyed the food and the fast service. Thank you.

This is the third time my partner and I have tried this restaurant, and it will be the last. The first time in Maastricht, I got seriously ill when I got home. The second time in Eindhoven, I unfortunately got sick too, and now, the third time in Heerlen, there was a serious problem with the grill. Almost everything was burnt or burnt (the photos are the least serious dishes), which meant we had a thoroughly unpleasant meal. Such a shame. We also mentioned this to the hostess, who was, however, very friendly, helpful, and understanding. A plus: the hostess and the desserts.

Large restaurant, not full when we were there. Tapas: we sent a few dishes back to the kitchen with comments, as they were either burnt or not tasty due to a sauce, but the chef can't do anything about that. I hope it usually improves. We got our drinks free when we paid. Good solution.

It was our first time, but it was a successful evening.

Went there on Christmas Day and had a wonderful evening. The food and staff were excellent!

Staff are friendly and professional. We ate with my coworkers for Christmas dinner. Even though my coworkers were messy and noisy. They were very patient. They just did their job well and with a smile. When it comes to the food, it's just a little salty. When it comes to service, they are fast so I recommend it.

Reservation was unknown. Short staff, waited an hour for food and drinks, half the menu unavailable, what you do get comes from the microwave. Jesus, this was bad.

As always, very tasty and cozy in Heerlen.

We arrived at the restaurant on Sunday at 5:30 PM. There were only two tables occupied. The waitress asked if we had a reservation, but we didn't. She checked with a colleague, but we couldn't eat. And this in a restaurant with I think 50 tables, of which only two were occupied... ridiculous. Whether you want to make money or not, there were only three of us. So, no more for us...

I'm actually a huge La Cubanita fan. The service and staff were friendly and pleasant. Some of the food was already cold and seemed a bit "thrown on the plate." The toilets were, to be honest, quite dirty, and literally the entire floor was sticky. Perhaps something happened that day, but it still made me wonder what the kitchen would look like, for example. Hence the relatively low rating.

The service was excellent, friendly, fast, and fun. They even made it a great evening for the kids. The food was good and tasty, and it arrived quite quickly.

Good food, easy ordering system, but the tables were a bit crowded. They forgot a few dishes here and there, and some items were out of stock. Highly recommended, though.

This is awful! Almost everything comes from the deep fryer, and dishes that are supposed to be grilled are still fried. The Civiche salmon, with smoked salmon, and many other dishes have little to no flavor. We were with a large group from work, and many of us got seriously ill, including myself. Once, but never again!

Normally when we come here, the food is delicious and hot. We've been here a few times now, and the food was both cold and unpleasant. Many things on the menu have changed. Either the food doesn't arrive at all or it arrives cold and far too late.

Waited 1 hour for the last order and when the order arrived it was cold

Extremely poor, I didn't receive half of the dishes I ordered. And what I did receive was cold, lukewarm, burnt, or undercooked. When people say they had a good meal here, I think they're not used to anything better. What a disgrace, never again!!!

Delicious food. 24.50 unlimited tapas including desserts

Super tasty and very friendly service.

After waiting a very long time for our first course, we were a bit disappointed. It just wasn't good. For the price, there are many other restaurants that are much better.

Beautiful building and atmosphere. Excellent service. The dishes were good, but a bit lacking in some places. Some sauces, such as the fish stew, lacked flavor. The steak was also a bit tough. But overall, we enjoyed it, and the cocktails were especially delicious.

Long waits, and waiting for each dish to arrive. The serving process is also inconsistent. However, there are still some tasty dishes in between. The decor and atmosphere are nice. They offer more fish and meat dishes than just appetizers.

Long wait for food, very small portions and max 2 at a time.

Very tasty food and very friendly staff.

Yesterday, I came here for dinner at 7:30 with a group of about six people. This was my first and last time—often, dishes didn't arrive at all, or only in the second round, for example, and there were only eight or nine tables occupied at most! If the dishes had been complicated, I could understand it somewhat—but the fact that the drinks always arrived with the express delivery speaks volumes to me. So, I literally paid 30 euros for two fried tacos with a few tuna cubes, three shrimp croquettes, three chorizo ​​croquettes, and some Manchego. And a soft serve ice cream for dessert—(the rest of what I ordered has "disappeared," according to the waiter.) Ridiculous.

Delicious food, plenty of choice and something for everyone!

We had a delicious meal here. We found the bar area even more atmospheric, and because it was so busy, we forgot about our drinks. Nevertheless, we had a great time. The food was fresh and delicious. Next time, we'll sit more in plain sight or walk to the bar ourselves.

Delicious food, very friendly service in a cozy atmosphere. Definitely recommended!

Very good service with the all-inclusive option

We've been going there occasionally for years, but the food has really deteriorated dramatically. Hot dishes are cold, and the other dishes are also terrible. The excuse was, "Yes, maybe it's because the menu has changed and you don't like it." Honestly, it's not worth the money at all.

Delicious food, friendly service.

The food (most of it) is delicious. The restaurant has plenty of seating (tables are spaced far apart). The all-inclusive concept includes drinks and desserts. One drawback, in my opinion, is that you can't order drinks yourself (like the dishes) through the app. However, they did frequently ask if we wanted another drink! It's a shame, however, that the drinks are then served very slowly.

I was yesterday there and was cahotic. They didnt have enough staff, I order a lot of things and they just give me a few dishes. When we start with the desserts they start giving me the first dishes that I ordered. I will never come back.

We had a delicious meal, but one downside was that not everything was warm, as it should have been.

Fast service, Unfortunately the food left much to be desired. Several dishes actually tasteless, very unfortunate. The sauce made the taste.

Not cozy at all, service was very bad and the staff was not at all cheerful. A lot of the food was reheated, and therefore tasted very bad. The food came late, and between rounds food from other rounds came. During the 4th round we still got the bread from the first round, and our steak is still missing. All in all it was an unpleasant experience and we will not come back

Very cozy business, fun and spacious. Food were some small flaws compared to other Cubanitas where we have been, but certainly good

Went here, food was good. Waiter was staff was less. He said his name was Sebastian Spies. Just wanted to report this!

The food was delicious, enjoyed it very much. It was nicely decorated. Staff was on the lesser side. Employee got angry when we indicated that the waiting time was a bit longer if it is good the name of the guy was sebastiaan wanted to mention this.

Very well received, by the various young employees of cubanita. Asmara, did very well, I am more than satisfied with this experience of cubanita

Nice concept, good foods, friendly staffs!

Haven't been there in years, but the food was better and more fun now

We had a really great meal at La Cubanita. The waitresses & manager are really made for it. Very well received. The portions were a bit big all the time. If you wanted to taste/try more, you had to share with someone. Otherwise you wouldn't eat as much. They now also have an all-you-can-eat with drinks, but they don't have a drinks menu, which is quite annoying if you want to see what you want to drink and what is or is not included in the package. And there is another disadvantage, you MUST order it via a waitress. You can't order it via the app. That's not necessarily a problem, but it does make it a bit more difficult.

We hebben hier gegeten aan de voor avond van een familie feest.na de commentaren gelezen te hebben gingen we er met gemengde gevoelens heen. Dit was nergens voor nodig .De bediening was zeer vriendelijk en we werden snel geholpen .Het eten was voor deze prijs in orde als je echter de kwaliteit van een top restaurant verwacht dat gaat natuurlijk niet men moet realistisch blijven hè.Als enige minpunt we hadden twee mojito besteld maar in ieder glas lag maar 1 muntblaadje dat is veel te weinig natuurlijk.Mocht ik er ooit nog eens in de buurt zijn denk ik nog wel eens terug te gaan.

Delicious food, beautiful location, nice atmosphere and very friendly, correct and nice staff

Vandaag voor de eerste keren gaan eten. Bij binnenkomst dacht ik, oh wat ziet het gezellig uit. We kregen een fijn tafeltje toegewezen. Echter, na een tijdje merkte we dat er geen? Muziek op stond, of heel erg zacht. Dit beïnvloede wel de sfeer, na mijn mening. Wat betreft het eten, Er was ruime keuze, alleen enkele gerechtjes hadden geen of weinig smaak. Dit miste ik bij het torentje van avocado, er zat tomaat en rode ui op, alleen ik proefde de smaak sensatie daar niet van. Het zelfde geldt voor de gamba's in knoflookolie. Enkele andere gerechten miste ook die sensatie van de smaak combinatie en de versheid van de gerechten. Ook waren enkele gerechten niet warm geserveerd. 2 gerechten waren ze vergeten. Sommige gerechten die je voorheen had besteld komen na ongeveer 20/30 minuten aan terwijl andere gerechten die je later besteld eerder kwamen. Het personeel was vriendelijk, alleen het is een restaurant waar alles via een app gaat, dus gastvrijheid is daardoor wel een gemis. Kwaliteit- prijsverhouding klopt wel, Mocht je voor een fijne “goedkopere” prijs willen gaan eten , dan is het een aanrader. Maar voor iemand die van smaaksensatie houdt en een fijnproever is, dan kan het tegenvallen. Ik wil niet zeggen dat het niet voor herhaling vatbaar is, maar dat het niet geheel mijn smaak is.

There was a lot of rubbish on the floor, papers and napkins were on the floor, the toilet was not clean. Food was great!

Extremely dirty food... and really no service. First we have to wait half an hour at the cash register to pay... then we suddenly have to go up the stairs to pay and then we have to find the table number where we were sitting... deserts served with a giant spoon... really bizarre situations here.

Tasty food and good formula for a decent price.

Mexican or Cuban music gives more atmosphere. Real background music.

Delicious food, friendly staff.

Had a delicious meal at La Cubanita Heerlen! The atmosphere was nice and cozy, and the food was delicious. The service was friendly and quick with clearing up. Small downside, the restaurant was quite empty, but we were still placed close to other guests, which I always find unnecessary and less pleasant in terms of privacy. All in all, definitely enjoyed it and would definitely do it again.

A nice restaurant with tasty tapas. The food was good, the service was good. I don't really have an idea that you have to wait too long for the food. We were with 4 and you could order 2 different tapas per person every 10 min. The cocktails are cheap, the alcohol % is on the low side (or yes that was my feeling).

Alles was eigenlijk prima. Het eten was lekker. 1x iets niet geleverd, aangegeven en werd kort daarna alsnog gebracht. Misschien niet de meest zelfgemaakt en bedacht eten, maar voor die prijs helemaal prima. Personeel was wel een aantal keer aan het roddelen bij de trap en sommige dames keken erg onvriendelijk terwijl ze rondliepen. Maar dat is aan de manager ;-)

Verjaardag van mijn kleindochter. Eten was niet echt warm.weinig glutenvrije producten voor mijn kleinzoon. Met AH bon was de prijs nog redelijk, maar toch nog zonde.

Had to wait a super long time for our food and half of it hadn't even arrived!

Worthless restaurant, round 1 went fairly quickly, round 2 did not come and I waited half an hour before round 3 arrived. It wasn't very busy and everyone around me was eating.

What a disappointment... First of all, the service (young) was friendly and helpful. It started with a dirty plate and a plate with a hair... Next to us an uncleaned table that had not been cleared after 2.5 hours. Uncomfortable light, we were under a spotlight, could not be changed. Food was lukewarm, cold, tasteless, reheated, dried up, sauce with a layer on it because it had been left on for too long, steak cold and tough, it could go on for a while. What strikes me is that many reviews from recent months have been rated low, perhaps the chef, perhaps the dishes have been left out for too long, but the manager should do something about this. If you can't handle it, you shouldn't reserve so many tables, this was once and never again. It is not without reason that we were not asked at checkout whether we had enjoyed it...worthless place!

It's a shame that I still have to give 1 star to do a review, because even that wasn't worth it. We came in in the freezing cold, because the heating was supposedly broken... They only said that when I started complaining about it. People were eating inside with their coats on. Then we ordered. Wrap with pulled chicken, the wrap was completely soaked with juice. Melon with ham, where the melon still had the skin on it and was very hard. Then we got meatballs in tomato sauce. The meatballs were not warm inside. The dishes were all brought one by one, which meant we had to wait a long time. The bowls were broken and the basket needed to be replaced. We complained about the poor quality of the food and a manager came to us. When we said we were going because we were not satisfied at all, we got up. The manager felt that she could do nothing about it and was indecent. Never, ever again will I eat here. I've never left a restaurant before, but this one really blew my mind. I wouldn't recommend going here!

Very bad experience here. Made a reservation online ahead of time for 5 people and a baby. Unfortunately, we did not see an option when booking to add that there is a baby. Once we arrived there, we were alone upstairs, which is not possible with a baby. Unfortunately, they did not bother to see if anything could be changed so that we could still have a nice meal, and they were also very unfriendly. We won't go here again!!

Het eten was niet zo lekker. De gerechten van de koude tapas kwamen net uit de diepvries en waren erg koud en nat, zoals de carpaccio en de tonijn. Ik zal er niet nog een keer heen gaan.

good experience but don't order to much, don't waste food

Nice meal. We had made a reservation, but had to wait quite a while at the entrance before someone came to help us. When someone finally came, that person took us to the table and that was it. Finally I asked someone how the concept worked. The food itself was tasty and was brought to the table quickly after ordering it with the QR code. Small snacks and a little bit of everything, really nice.

We go to La Cubanita about once every 2 years. Tasty snacks that you can order per 2. Depending on the dish chosen, one is served quickly and the other with a delay. Staff can easily reach 10,000 steps.

One of the better ones we have been to

On Christmas Day we first visited the Christmas market in Maastricht. Then no appointment for dinner. Exciting and called La Cubanita Heerlen. They still had room. A really nice large restaurant with great atmosphere and friendly staff. Delicious food and drinks.

Had a staff outing here. Very nice place with super friendly staff who are happy to explain how ordering works. Food was really tasty for the most part, sometimes bland in taste. Recommended!

On my birthday I had dinner at La Cubanita for the first time with my wife and daughter: a beautifully decorated space, very atmospheric with appropriate Cuban music. Friendly service and delicious tapas. A very nice experience, my compliments to the entire team... to be continued!

Onlangs met een stel vrienden en hun kinderen gaan eten bij La Cubanita’s in Heerlen. We hadden de ronde tafel gereserveerd maar bij aankomst was deze niet beschikbaar oké dat is dan maar zo. Bij het opnemen van het drinken bleek erheen gewoon pils te zijn was niet geleverd. Als ondernemer zorg je toch altijd dat alles wat op de kaart beschikbaar en zeker gewoon pils anders ga je toch een paar kratjes halen bij de lokale slijterij of supermarkt. Door de bediening werd een brood gebracht vooraf (dat snap ik wat is goedkoop eten) maar nadat er voor de 3de keer brood gebracht werd door het personeel vroeger we hoe dit kon waarop geantwoord werd die heb ik voor jullie besteld. Nou gekker moet het niet worden. Verder bleek dat een aantal van de gerechten op de kaart niet in de app stonden en dus ook niet besteld konden worden. In het verleden als een vaker hier geweest maar hij zullen jullie ons niet meer zo vaak zien. Dan maar “ietsjes” meer betalen en bij Pinchos in Heerlen tapas gaan eten. Dat is een wereld van verschil.

Large restaurant, delicious food

No idea if the food is tasty now. Refused on a Monday before 5:30 PM! It was full. Too few staff. This is really a shame.. Single mother with 2 little girls and I wanted to end the holiday on a nice note. Haven't gone out to eat for months and then this. Really a shame.

Tegenover 2 jaar geleden is deze zaak in Heerlen erg veranderd, niet voor herhaling vatbaar. Ten eerste waren wij een van de eerste en er waren alleen maar vieze kinderstoelen. Enkele dingen van het eten waren lekker maar meerderdeels niet het geld waard. Meerderdeels van de bediening leek geen zin te hebben om te werken. Na afloop hebben we alle buikpijn gehad. Wij raden deze zaak dus niet aan.

Bad food, reported several times and it was resolved, but it was not really tasty.. sat by the window where it was also cold.. with a jacket over the knees and a scarf wrapped around it went somewhat well..

Nooit meer in Heerlen! Wat een aanfluiting: bediening drank bot, eten ver onder de maat: koude garnalen, niet gare kleine stukjes bief, laatste kruimels uit een zak nachos , zeebaars ongebakken drijvend in de olie .....zo teleurstellend op verjaardag! In andere steden hebben wij veel betere kwaliteit van la cubanita mogen beleven. Zonde van het geld en verpest een leuke dag.

Super cozy and spacious tapa restaurant. Lots of choice of tapas, good food but not all dishes are great, but that can also be the taste. Super friendly staff and quickly prepared. Cocktails also tasty and nice price for them. Good experience👌

Had dinner on Sunday evening. We have been coming here for several years now and the food has always been excellent. Once again the service was good with friendly staff and relatively fast service. However, three times over the past six months it has been noticed that the quality of the food and the menu has steadily declined. Less choice, but often meat items are not in stock and unfortunately there were some misses in terms of taste experience... Now our visit last night was the highlight, where we had the feeling that much of the food had simply been warmed up and put in a pan. done or already been there for a while. As an example, the shrimps that used to be delicious in garlic or spicy oil were now delivered dry, lukewarm and with some sauce poured over them... a pity. For the time being, unfortunately, we are choosing a side trip.😔

Nice authentic atmosphere, enthusiastic staff and delicious pure dishes with surprising combinations. Beautiful case, definitely recommended!

Never experienced anything like this before. After sitting there for almost 2 hours, I had 2 small portions of the 8 ordered. Not worth repeating, unfortunately

Took half an hour between some dishes. Friendly service

New menu, nothing special, you used to have more choice... for the same money, now less choice, unfriendly staff... throws food over you, doesn't even come with a cloth and then you ask for a cloth. Yes, there's nothing you can do about it... .??!!! New manager only speaks English, we are still in the Netherlands... but yes, this country is already going to shit... they also look at how much you eat. If you order too much, you will always miss something that came, but now and never again.

Cocktails taste like water. Food takes a very long time to arrive. Ordered a beer and waited half an hour for it.

Had to wait more than 1 hour for a certain type of tapas. When it finally arrives, it is not the correct order. Food was ok but the steak was overdone. Service was friendly and we were compensated. Too bad because it used to be better. It wasn't too busy so that can't be the reason.

Delicious food in a cozy restaurant

Great meal as always. It went nice and fast and was easy to do.

Delicious food and friendly service. Smooth service

Delicious food, nice service and fast.

Had a dinner with a group of 50 people in honor of our Pension. It was fantastic, good and tasty food, friendly service, good atmosphere. In short, very pleasant and highly recommended.

had a very nice and pleasant evening and delicious food and delicious cocktails and desserts!! I will definitely come back.😁

Food was good but some things were heated or kept warm a little too long. Melon with raw ham a bit too ripe. We had to wait a very long time before we got the food (almost 40 minutes).

Absolutely delicious! A lot of gluten free option and the digital menu is very nice for everyone that have an allergy or food restrictions!

The only plus is the service of the manager. Food bad, salted, dry meat, old/hard churros, watermelon salad with feta contained no feta, and I could go on and on..

Very friendly staff, good food, with nice surprises for the birthday boy or girl, We will definitely come here more often!!
