La Cubanita Nijmegen in Wijk 02 Nijmegen-Oost

The food is more than excellent for the very reasonable price! The restaurant is a bit noisy, especially with large groups, but it's still cozy. The waitresses are very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back. This branch is better than the one in Arnhem.

We went for Christmas dinner today. The staff was friendly, the food was delicious, and it arrived quickly. There was a nice atmosphere. Definitely recommended, and you've got a new regular!

The food was delicious, and the concept was exactly what we expected! A true tapas experience! The price-quality ratio was excellent! Even on a tight budget, we still had a great time. We'll definitely be back!

We ate here again after a long time. We really enjoyed it...definitely improved and worth it. Just one personal point: we prefer the nachos warm from the oven, and the corn on the cob was surprisingly delicious. All in all, definitely worth it for a pleasant evening out!

Terrible concept. Every 10 minutes, you can order two dishes each using a QR code. The dishes didn't arrive at the same time, so enjoying a meal together wasn't possible. I already find a QR code awful because a phone doesn't belong at the table when you're having a nice meal out. Tapas was mostly junk food, too. The cocktails were also undrinkable. It's a real shame to end my birthday like that. I was truly disappointed. It's also a shame that you don't really have any contact with the staff. It's just nice to have a friendly, helpful waiter who recommends a tasty dish or something. It used to be a decent place, but unfortunately, not anymore.

We had a lovely dinner here with friends. We had the all-inclusive package with drinks, which cost around €36. The food was often mediocre and/or cold (though some dishes were very tasty), and the service wasn't great either. However, I think the price-quality ratio is excellent, considering it's really cheap! All in all, we had a lovely evening and I recommend it if you're looking for a pleasant evening for a reasonable price and the quality of the service and food isn't as important to you.

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The atmosphere was also great, with nice music in the background. The only downside is the air conditioning, which really stinks.

Nice idea... the food tasted good, but that's about it. We got a dirty spoon with the crème brûlée, and there was a piece of plastic in the tiramisu!!!. When you point it out, they don't say anything and you get arrogant looks... Not recommended, and I definitely won't be going again!

The food was good. Sometimes we had to wait a long time for the food. Not everything was warm. Upon arrival, it took a while before we were acknowledged by the staff. The staff was friendly!

Had to wait 45 minutes for one bag of chips, the rest still have to come. This is just awful.

Value for money, not expensive and quite tasty... not fancy, but that's the fun of it: small bites and lots of trying. So, something might not be to your liking. It's not a new place, but it works perfectly.

Unfortunately, a huge disappointment. I was having a lovely dinner with my daughter. The staff were very friendly, but they were far too busy. When we arrived, the interior was full, so we were asked to sit outside. Forty-five minutes and seven requests later, our online ordering mode was finally activated. Half an hour later, the first round of food arrived, but without drinks. An hour later, it finally arrived, and after asking five times, we also had drinks, but still no second round of food. Ultimately, we sat for over two hours and were only able to eat four rounds of food plus dessert. Then we had to leave because we still had a long drive to get home on time. Unfortunately, we didn't receive a few things from the rounds we ordered. We told the staff, who said they would inquire, but they didn't get back to us. Dessert also arrived before the last appetizers. We also asked if we could sit inside, and they said there wasn't room yet and that they would let us know when it was. When we paid around 2015, there were no more waiting guests and plenty of tables available. What a disappointment, we left hungry and frozen from the cold outside 😟

When it's full, it's really busy and the quality drops a bit. As long as it's a bit quieter, it's great!

The food is fine, but the dishes usually arrive much later. Since it's only after 3 o'clock that you don't remember what you ordered, things are moving along nicely. That's a shame for the overall experience. The dishes themselves are excellent value for money.

Terrible. Don't do it, everything is dirty. It never gets cleaned.

Poor atmosphere. Interior in poor condition and especially dirty. Menu, table, and doors too dirty to touch. Food cold and tasteless.

The staff clearly weren't having their best day............

The food is good. The service and kitchen weren't well coordinated. We got three courses in 2.5 hours.

Super cozy and delicious food. Despite it being busy, we received very friendly service. Manager Khai, in particular, was incredibly kind and made sure we had a wonderful evening. See you next time!

What a huge disappointment. The food was cold, poorly prepared, and the chicken was burnt. There was no sauce, and it was just brought to the table without even an apology. The service was downright terrible. The male waiter (light-skinned, long hair, Nijmegen location) was arrogant and offered no apologies. We even set a timer: it took an extremely long time to get our first round. We immediately ordered a second round, but that too took almost 40 minutes. We finally got up and left, it was that bad. Especially on a Friday (and it wasn't even busy), you expect the staff to at least slow down a bit and treat customers with respect. This was absolutely terrible value for money. A terrible place, not recommended!

Never again for us. It's truly filthy. Cutlery, plates, menus, even food was stuck between them, the table, the walls—everything was covered in food scraps and dirty grease stains. Even the staff were wearing dirty clothes, and that wasn't after a hard day's work; they had just opened. We got up and left. I wouldn't even let my dog ​​eat at La Cubanita Nijmegen.

No attention to guests. A strange system of serving the ordered courses, meaning you don't get your food at the same time as your table companion. Dishes are carelessly thrown on your table.

Had a great evening here with my girlfriends. I'll definitely be back.

We had a lovely meal outside and the tapas were delicious.

We had a delicious meal again. Lots of new dishes.

We went to La Cubanita to have some casual drinks. We waited around 20-25minutes to order the drink, and another 15 minute for that drink to arrive which was also not very good. We even tried to go inside and order it in the bar because of the long wait. Unfortunately going to this place resulted in wasting a lot of time for us.

We tried a lot of food. Everything was delicious. Wonderful flavors. When we return to Nijmegen, I'll book a table here.

The toilet is a bit meh, and the building has some broken bits here and there, but the food, the service (when it's not busy), and the atmosphere are absolutely top notch.

very cozy location in a nice neighborhood warm cozy and friendly staff food was good and flowed smoothly

Delicious food, friendly, hardworking service! A full evening!

Delicious food, lovely terrace, lots of selection, portion size perfect for when you want to eat a variety of dishes. Friendly service. The drinks package (including sangria) was great!

Not expensive, but not the restaurant to go to for a good taste experience. Perfect for students and those on a lower income.

The food is good and tasty, and it is a cozy place with friendly service

Food was okay, some things were lukewarm, service was bad, too few people, everything took a very long time and we just didn't get some things, getting drinks took a very long time, very unfortunate, we are not used to that.

Good All You Can Eat restaurant. Service was friendly. Ordering was super easy with a qr code. Food was very tasty. Only downside is that the food sometimes took 30 minutes to arrive, so I would recommend ordering at the conveyor belt because otherwise you won't be full. It was quite busy so I don't blame them.

We ate a few times before we edit this review. Everyone can have a bad day. Regular cold meat dishes drinks long wait. Gaos / big mess on the bar. Desserts were ok.

Teleurstellend. Eten matig, het completa arrangement waardeloos. Drinken kun je dan niet met qr bestellen maar bij het personeel. Je moet bijna smeken om iets te krijgen. Verder slechte service, vuile servies moet je op een lege tafel zetten want ophalen doen ze amper. Hard achteruit gegaan.

Good food. Didn't get 2 of the ordered dishes. Toilet could be cleaner and the area near the toilet could be more tidy. If you order all in, they don't ask if you want something to drink, but you have to ask them yourself when they pass your table. But good food for relatively little money.

We ate our fill in a relaxed manner.

Never again! How incredibly bad, many things are not fresh or not tasty or cold. We arrived around 18:00 and our first snack and drink only arrived half an hour later and not even at the same time, very unpleasant! Very long wait and the table was almost full the entire evening, it was simply not collected. All in all, we each ate 3 snacks, the rest was all returned because it was cold or dirty. And at the end we still had to pay way too much.

We ate here it was indeed very cheap.. I'm sorry but I really tasted this in the dishes. Some dishes did not arrive it was busy hamburger was really not tasty and and steak so tough I could not swallow it again sorry but I will not eat here again the bread was super dry too bad but nice price for the not so precise eaters

The bartender is way too slow, don't get an arrangement with drinks because I waited more than an hour for my drink! The dishes don't come out of the kitchen at the same time and therefore you don't eat at the same time as your company, the staff doesn't know where to be half the time (don't know the table numbers) there is no logic in it! Really bad and bad! Used to be a really nice place but little is left!

Good food, a bit short of staff but the food was still very tasty. Just had to wait a bit longer.

Prices are great and the food is not super tasty, but it is fine. The staff there and back is very rude and extremely irritated.

Bad concept! We had desserts and drinks included. Reservations were half past eight with no time limit. Well that's not true! At half past ten they come to your table so that you can do a last round. Bad food! Dessert (ice cream with whipped cream) looked like a milkshake. Given back, but the same the second time. Just rubbish from a spray can. You had to wait half an hour for drinks (because it was included of course) Staff doesn't even throw your food on the table (1 girl was so grumpy) Sad for them because they couldn't actually handle it.Owner/manager: You should be ashamed. No more Cubanita for us, but it probably won't last long and this company will go under.

Very cozy tent! Fast service and delicious food. Great concept

The food was fine, but I really don't understand this system, it is not served per table but per dish, which means that one person is eating and the other can easily have to wait 20 minutes. At the end my wife had already finished her desert and I still had to get my spare ribs. This took no less than half an hour. As I said, my wife had finished her desert and then I had to wait another 20 minutes for mine. No more la Cubanita for us. The waitresses and waitress really get compliments from me. It was way too busy for these great guys!!

Unfortunately we had a very bad experience at La Cubanita in Nijmegen. Upon arrival we were unable to scan the QR code and we asked several times if someone could help us. Despite seeing that it was busy we were completely ignored by the staff. No effort was made to speak to us or help in any other way. After waiting for 25 minutes without any service or explanation, a girl finally came who clearly didn't know what to do either. She couldn't help us, and the whole process was extremely chaotic. It seemed like everything was going wrong within the restaurant, staff seemed overloaded and there was no overview or structure at all. After waiting for so long without any kind of service we decided to leave. This was our first and last time at La Cubanita Nijmegen. A very disappointing experience.

Heel erg lang wachten op de rondes. Wijn werd vergeten Op een gegeven moment waren we bijn 45 minuten aan het wachten. Toen hebben we maar gekozen voor het dessert en wat denk je wat na d etoetjes kwam...juist het bestelde eten. Personeel wat soms noet begreep wat je bedoelde....echt een groot minpunt

Good food for a low price, a good impression was made the first time

Great tent....and respect for the service. It's great that they keep this up...so busy

Nice dishes on the menu, which you don't see everywhere. Pleasant music, nice decor. Quality of the food was very variable. Cheese croquettes and chicken pieces in honey were fantastic, ham with melon and tagine chicken (watery) were really mediocre. Service was ok, but our table was dirty upon arrival (although it had to be covered again) and so was the neighboring table. Hand soap in the toilet, toilet needs some maintenance in general.

What chaos. An assistant manager who does not keep what she promises, and walks around like a headless chicken and actually does nothing. Eating what doesn't come. Afterwards it's over, but no one lets us know. The food that did come was good. The only plus point was the friendly barmaid, who was the only one who had a bit of insight. And was allowed to apologize for the farcade. Sorry, it was busy and there was a shortage of staff. However, the manager and assistant had already gone home. Once and never again.

The food was good, but the steak was not very well done, the rest was great.

Great restaurant, nice atmosphere, beautiful decoration, wonderfully varied food, fast service, definitely will come again

Not really friendly service and food is mediocre

Great for an evening of tapas dinner. The tables were quite full, but the food tasted good. Lots of choice! Nice service.

Good to eat. Some dishes were a bit too spicy for us, but otherwise tasty. We only missed the vegetable dishes, perhaps overlooked.

We went to La Cubanita on a Wednesday. There is a wonderful atmosphere here, with top service. We ate our fill and with a light price. My favorite dish is their chicken skewers, followed by their salmon. Gracias La Cubanita☺️

Nice staff, cozy atmosphere and delicious food.

We have had a delicious meal here several times now. Sufficient choices in the dishes. Very friendly girls too. I would say if you want to eat delicious tappas... Then you should definitely come here.

Very nice place, especially with children who like to try food. Not expensive compared to other restaurants. Nice staff and very tasty food. Also easy parking nearby.

Het was erg koud in de serre. Raar om met je jas aan te moeten eten. Tijdens het nagerecht kregen we nog eten van de ronde er voor. In het lava cakeje was geen lava te bekennen. Was een bruine smaakloze spons. Ik ga voortaan naar een andere vestiging.

Food was cold, dry. The atmosphere is unpleasant. Food is way too much for 1 person. Service, on the other hand, was fast. Price is too expensive for what we got, looked like microwave meals. And there was a hair in the nachos

The food was really not tasty 🤢 It was mainly very tasteless

Ate here with a large group and we enjoyed it very much. The food was very tasty and it is possible to order dishes without cheese, for example, and thus take everyone's preferences into account. The price is also quite reasonable for all you can eat. It sometimes took a while before drinks or dishes were delivered, but the end experience was positive. I wouldn't mind eating here again.

Delicious and beautifully decorated

A lot of food was not well cooked, like not cooked long enough and the portions are a bit too little, i get the concept but if you have to wait such a long time then atleast make the food look appetising.

Always great, great business and nice employees It was another very nice evening, what a nice thing

Food took a long time or did not arrive, was tough and the waitress dropped sauce on us after which we were given a very dirty dishcloth from a dirty bucket to quickly wipe it all off.

Guilty pleasure! Eating unlimited tapas for 25 euros, where can you still find that?! And then you also get wonderfully friendly and helpful staff. The food is simply delicious, but don't expect culinary delights for this price. You can order 2 tapas per person each round and then you have to wait 10 minutes. Sometimes an order comes through quickly, other times it takes a little longer. Not 5 stars because the wicker chairs are very uncomfortable. And the toilet room deserves a serious makeover. As I said, you should not expect Haute Cuisine, but I think that more than half of the dishes come from the deep fryer. The restaurant is nicely decorated with matching music and there is a wide choice of cocktails. I'll definitely come back!

Cozy tapas restaurant, girls walk back and forth with orders, very tasty, varied, something for everyone, also vegetarian. Children are also taken into account. Delicious ice cream.

Delicious food. Highly recommended.

Food was okay. It's better not to order coffee...

In itself a beautiful, cozy and attractive restaurant. The service was downright bad the night we were there. The food was just barely thrown on the table. No effort is made to ensure that if you have ordered together as a whole table, the same order will be served more or less at the same time. It is possible that one person has already had all his dishes and the others have to wait another 10 minutes or sometimes longer. In my opinion, you are completely missing the point here. Servers walk around with different tapas for tables and place them without looking or making contact. The food itself is really tasty and apart from the tough steak, there was really nothing wrong with it. The cocktails are great and the atmosphere is really cozy.

All you can eat tapas restaurant. It looks nice on the inside. The quality of the food is less and the service not very good either. Even though it was quiet, some things were forgotten or arrived very late.

La Cubanita simply remains good food and fun. The only disadvantage is that you can now only sit for 2 hours and I find ordering online quite impersonal. But otherwise it was wonderful again

It's a simple tapas bar with authentic food. So within this category of restaurants it was good.

Lovely place to eat and quite quickly

Great restaurant. Not extremely busy during the week, which is nice. Previously with notes, now with the telephone. Works fine. Friendly service.

Uiteten geweest met een grote groep, biefstuk was taai, pesto was zuur en een gesmolten dame blance. Drinken duurde heel erg lang voordat het er was en moesten meerdere mensen aanspreken of we nog drinken konden bestellen. Ook het personeel kon niet lachen en onder het eten moest je alle bordjes stapelen en bij hun op het dienblad zetten. Eten werd voor je neus neergegooid als je nog aan het eten was. Ook zei het personeel dat je bij een collega moest bestellen en zo ging het nog wel even door… Het eten was kwalitatief ook erg slecht. Je kreeg het of koud terwijl het warm moest zijn en andersom. Wij zijn er niet over te spreken en voor ons de eerste en de laatste keer hier!

DISAPPOINTING!!! We were 3 people, in round 1, 1 person got 1 tapas, the rest gradually trickled to the table in a period of 25 minutes. Very unpleasant and irritating. After that, the rounds/dishes were no longer correct... in round 3 you received another dish from round 1. They said what it was in English quickly and unfriendly. You had to listen carefully because we didn't understand anything. Steak tips were raw or well done, carpaccio had ice on it from the freezer, crostini had been left too long and were soaked in oil. Indicated that we were not satisfied. Nothing was done with it. People around us complained about waiting times and food that did not arrive or was delayed. NEVER again for us.

Atmosphere and decoration are cozy. Everything is a bit crammed together. If it is full you have to wait a while for the dishes, but the food is ok. Drinks are a bit more expensive. Just don't order the sangria. It's way too expensive for the simple drink you get, half of which consists of ice.

A really good all you can eat place. Recommended!

Delicious food. Service friendly and fast

Food was tasty. Staff are in a hurry and most don't speak Dutch. And very noisy

Friendly staff, wide variety of tapas and a cozy atmosphere

The two of us recently had dinner here. Because we arrived just after opening time, we had a nice spot by the window. Excellent and easy food. A big negative; two young girls from the service were wearing clothes full of food stains. Really a no go. If it were now at the end of the evening, I could possibly imagine something else. However, it was now right after opening time.

Indifferent and sloppy service. The dishes from one round came a long time apart. Several times we were served dishes intended for the table next to us. The tiramisu tasted very strange (spoiled?) and we returned it.

After a day in Germany, have dinner in Nijmegen. That wasn't good. Food was tough, not really warm and we had to wait a very long time for the tapas to be brought. Only received the 2nd round after an hour. Some containers and plates were broken but were simply placed on the table. Our first time in Nijmegen, but next time we will go to Bussum or Hoofddorp.

The food was good, but that's pretty much it in the restaurant in Nijmegen. The employees were not very friendly, they put the food on the table and said softly what it was, and the food never came at the same time. And another very bad experience was that a cat from the neighborhood walked through the restaurant and just jumped into your table. I said something about this to the staff and they said yes, it always walks here. So it was very normal for them, but it is not hygienic because they just let him jump on the tables and do little about it. All in all, I would never recommend this branch.

After applying for a kitchen employee with manager Piri would start working as a kitchen manager after a trial day. Unfortunately, you haven't heard anything since, despite an appointment to contact us via WhatsApp? It is not a good place to work for me, quite a lot of comments about the current staff and boss not being able to lead, but not being able to keep agreements? I am happy to be able to provide an appropriate review, so that you as an applicant know where you stand!

The service is fast but not really friendly. They put it down, they don't say what it is or they say it's whole, the food is a 3 because one is good, the other is not

Very good food but slight disoriented service.

Long waiting times for food and drinks. Food was very tasty.

It was really disappointing. Tapas are supposed to be delicious when prepared in the right way. Which honestly is not that difficult. You can tell that many products where just frozen when thrown into the pot. Why everything needs to have arugula on it? Furthermore, the service is a chaos, you have to be patient and wait a lot without knowing if you will get what you ordered. To sum up it is not worthy. Save yourself a bad time and don't go there!

It has decreased in quality. Absolutely not worth it.

Good food new menu. Always good concept.

Nice location and delicious food. Staff is friendly, but not all of them spoke Dutch, which took some getting used to when ordering something. Was very pleasant.

Really very tasty food. All Tapas were very tasty. Service was extremely friendly and fast. 'One downside was that it was very noisy and the ventilation could have been a little better. But the ten of us had a great dinner! Worth repeating.
