La Cubanita Utrecht in Wijk 06 Binnenstad

The atmosphere was relaxed, with friendly and attentive service. The food itself was okay, but nothing more. Some portions were very meager, such as the buffalo mozzarella/peach; the mozzarella pieces had to be searched for with a magnifying glass. The steaks were tasty, if they hadn't been overcooked and were now as tough as leather. The fish and green asparagus stew, on the other hand, was very tasty. I wouldn't go back for the food, but I would go for the ambiance. It just depends on what you're looking for. If you enjoy flavorful dishes, prepared with love and care and in the right proportions, I'd stew it. If you enjoy having drinks with a group and occasionally snacking, it can be a nice place, thanks in part to the friendly staff.

Delicious food. But some things were cold when they should have been warm. It must have been because it was so busy. Overall, it was delicious.

Cozy tasty food, quality is good even when it is busy, fast and friendly service

The food was delicious, and it arrived quickly after ordering. It was my birthday (September) and I got a free meal, but I had to pay for my drinks. We ordered two cocktails per person. This arrangement cost us more than if we'd just paid for my food. That was a shame.

Delicious food, I did the all-you-can-eat package. Well organized, I admire the logistics!

Poor-quality tapas are practically thrown on the table. Luckily, drinks are served to wash it down. Laughably bad. Cheap, though.

The service was a complete disaster, we waited over 20 minutes for the lady to "come over soon", and then she started serving people who came after us, forgetting about us.

Cozy, homey, excellent food. The service was also very friendly. We will be back!

After spending a fortune on the parking garage, we were hoping for a pleasant, atmospheric evening of tapas and dinner. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth; there was absolutely no atmosphere. The food was either overcooked or seemed reheated... the steak didn't even look cooked, but rather cooked or reheated... the shrimp were overcooked. The staff were all youngsters who seemed to be playing games on the computer instead of checking if people wanted drinks. After 1.5 hours, we'd had enough and left the already exorbitantly expensive parking garage two hours earlier than planned. We won't be returning.

It was boiling hot outside, but even hotter inside...unbearable. The food was okay. Half of it was tasty and good, but the other half wasn't great. Nothing special; it seemed like pre-made food that had been reheated. It was nice once, but I wouldn't repeat it.

Everything was delicious. Everything was warm, crispy, and just as it should be.

It started well, with good quality, but as it got busier, the quality deteriorated. The quantity of orders also decreased. We were quite early, but it turned out some of the food had already run out. The atmosphere was pleasant, though, and the service was very friendly.

The prawns in garlic oil were prawns dried out under a heat lamp with dried-out oil, the steak cubes were one piece of meat melted together, the spare ribs were one piece of dry meat... really not satisfied with the food! And the food was thrown on the table; we didn't get our food at the same time.

The service is excellent. The food is delicious, and the staff is very friendly. Every time I go, I enjoy it. It's my favorite place.

The chip shop was out of order. Half the menu was unavailable. A shame, as I always like to start with the squid rings. Unfortunately, they weren't available until we were ready for dessert. We ordered anyway, but were already full. Also, many dishes weren't what we'd expected at other La Cubanitas, such as the Manchego sauce without it, no lemon with the squid rings, and so on.

The menu was minimal because the deep fryers wouldn't turn on. This wasn't mentioned beforehand. The rest of the tapas, which were supposed to be hot, were actually cold—stomping cold. Some dishes, for example, lacked sauce even though you hadn't requested it. We've been to La Cubanita before, and it's always good, but this one in Utrecht was truly awful. A big bow to the waitresses, though. They handled all complaints courteously and remained exceptionally friendly.

out of all tapas we ordered we received half. Would not recommend this tapas place at all.

On a quiet Tuesday evening, you expect good service and good food. You have to ask for drinks six times or go to the bar. The food is inconsistent. One time a small portion, the next twice as much of the same thing. Burnt food, too. The croutons were so greasy, they were inedible. I won't be back.

Mwoah…food not that bad but it could be better and much more refined. In addition, the cheaper dishes are also large portions so you get full faster. Steak tips were tough, a lot of dishes with bacon in them and the fried chicken pieces seem to be in kitchen syrup instead of honey mustard sauce. Cocktails not expensive but in mine the rum was not detectable. No, not for me anymore.

Don't go here in hot weather. It's terribly hot inside. The food is fine and the cocktails are nice.

Delicious food, very cozy, but very warm

Had a nice evening and enjoyed the food. One downside was that coffee was not available that evening and one particular dessert was finished at 8 o'clock.

Systematically understaffed so you barely even get the chance to order the next round of (terribly mediocre) food. Don't waste your money and more importantly your time here

The three of us had a delicious meal here.

Was good, take the honey chicken. But not too much, I also want more.

They are all microwave snacks. Takes an awfully long time before they come with the snacks. In short, worse than bad…

Hardworking staff but also friendly. The snacks were served quickly!

The food was very tasty and the service was really good, but we waited at least 45 minutes per round for a maximum of 4 tapas dishes (could also be due to the Ascension Day crowds), but that was a shame and because of this we sat in the restaurant for 3.5 hours.

Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. My girlfriend cannot sit at high tables for medical reasons, but upon arrival it turned out that all low tables were occupied or unavailable. We were forced to sit at a high table, despite having indicated this in advance. Very unfortunate and uncomfortable. In addition, we were served the wrong dishes twice. The service remained friendly and apologized, but the mistakes piled up. The food itself was reasonable, but not special enough to compensate for all this. All in all, not a pleasant evening and not worth repeating for us.

Last week I ate at La Cubanita, I did the Cuba Completa so that you have everything included, this costs you about 36.50, then you don't get cocktails and other expensive drinks, which is understandable. I do think it's a shame that we often got the wrong drinks, I don't make a big deal about it, but I thought it was mediocre. In addition, the waitresses were very busy with other guests, and often forgot us. The food was fine, but you got mediocre food, I expected more, but oh well! In addition, I got sick from it, and I think that's a shame, I would come back, but I think it's a shame with the total picture! In addition, I thought it was really hot, and it was really small so it was very stuffy.

It was very hot upon arrival, my friend felt unwell, but the staff helped us very friendly and because we left very quickly we did not have to pay the entire amount. Very nice service. Thank you!

Had an excellent meal during the week with Cuba Completa, everything was great. Except for the brownie which turned out to be a rocky road without the caramel sauce and pecans. Oh well, you always keep that little thing!

Nice, atmospheric restaurant. The food is very good and the service is friendly. The new concept La completa is great! I always share all the dishes with my guest so that we can try everything we like. This also includes the desserts that can be shared. It is also fun to try a cocktail for a reduced price.

Very nice concept, tapas to eat different classic dishes. Order 2 small dishes per person at the table every 10 minutes. A fair price for what you get. Unfortunately, the deal including drinks is not valid on weekends. The fish a bit thin and floating in butter. The pork tenderloin was very tender and the ribs were nicely seasoned. Steaks were nice and pink on the inside. Desserts were very tasty although the size between them was very variable. (The 2 cakes are a lot larger than the other desserts.) I will highly recommend this place if you can't make a choice, just try everything you like.

Cozy place to dine in the city with a group or just the two of you, something for everyone on Mexican tappas

My first dish was lukewarm, not much chicken in the salad and the selection was also much less than before. The products were on the table quickly, which is nice and the girls were very friendly, although they sometimes brought the wrong dishes.

Friendly service, nice atmosphere and excellent food!

Most of the hot food was delivered cold to the table. There was also little taste to the food. However, the service was very friendly.

Great time with friends 🧡 nice tapas and sangrias

Fine for what it is. Had a nice meal, but some dishes were from the microwave. Service fast. Atmosphere cozy. Prices fair, certainly compared to other restaurants in Utrecht. Only real downside: coffee not at the right temperature.

Food is fine, personally not worth the price for the 'all you can eat'. Unfortunately, you can't order a la carte at all. The service was great.

Good price-quality balance for ayce concept. If you manage to stay away from the many deep fried options and go for the more fresh products you get even better quality for the price!

Nice staff! Nice atmosphere. Excellent food.

Tappa,s are tasty, the atmosphere is cozy and the food is good with good service Tip Make sure you make a reservation

Like every La Cubanita - atmospheric, fast, fun service and delicious food for a great price

Had a great meal last night! We wanted to use our AH vouchers and there was some confusion about this afterwards. I left a little disappointed, but I was called an hour later and helped enormously because it had ended a bit unpleasantly, the manager himself thought. What great service and very nice employees, I will definitely come back :)

Reasonable food, but the service and kitchen are very chaotic. Some portions arrive quickly, others take more than 20 minutes and everything is out of order.

Delicious food, service was top notch

Echt wel lekker eten, maar soms wel wat aan de lauwe kant. Soms eten twee keer besteld omdat dit niet was doorgekomen. Personeel mag wat vaker langs komen aan de tafel.

Experienced a reasonably good visit to this location. The food was okay, but some dishes could have been a little warmer.

I am not a fan of this la cubanita establishment. food is not of good quality but you shouldn't expect that for the price. staff very unfriendly. In addition, it was too full so you could hardly hear each other over the noise of others. In addition, we sat close to the door, so it was very chilly all the time

Delicious food, nice atmosphere, friendly staff and a great price.

Cozy and good staff. Food comes quickly and is very tasty.

Super fun food in a charming restaurant! Extensive menu with delicious tapas dishes. Really something for everyone. Recommended!

Excellent friendly service! Food was good too! Nothing wrong with this tent

compare to 8 months ago… compare with the very deteriorated and reduced menu 8 months ago. too many tables, lots of noise and commotion

After some bad experiences at other locations, I tried again. It is and remains not a good concept for me. Nice and attentive staff. Food remains from mediocre to microwave quality. I don't think this is recommended.

Delicious and food arrived quickly

Was good to eat. Friendly staff. Very busy.

A bit of an odd reception, but it was more than made up for by the attention the rest of the evening. Smooth service for the cocktails too and the table was always cleared quickly.

Meat was not necessarily tasty and a lot of fried food. Fast operation.

Had a great time celebrating our son's birthday, nice atmosphere and friendly service

Not big but cozy. A lot for little, but something for everyone. Sometimes it's a bit fast, but the service is great, so let us know if you want something different or a more leisurely meal. Also delicious cocktails and mocktails!

It's a weird thing because some of the food we ordered goes to another table. Ordering drinks also takes a long time. One of us has been waiting for beer for half an hour.

Surprisingly tasty! It is of course a chain, but the tapas was actually quite tasty and above the level you often get in the Netherlands. The price is also completely fine. Staff is also friendly.

Had dinner here tonight. The location is small and well packed with tables, so you're already in the neck of the person sitting next to you. In addition, it is extremely noisy there. The food we received was 80% lukewarm and took quite a while to be served, especially at the beginning. Each time we had just ordered a new round before the dishes from the round before arrived. Eventually I filed this complaint with the service. Unfortunately, nothing was done with this other than a comment to the kitchen. Not worth repeating for us.

It was very hot in the place. This is also due to the size being very narrow in the beginning.

Delicious tapas bar with very fast service, even when it's busy! Only found the selection of cocktails disappointing, I was actually expecting something like a Pina Colada, otherwise absolutely fine!

We were a large group so we got a menu chosen by the kitchen. We were given bruschetta and salmon on dry crackers and then at least 5 fried 'dishes' that apparently came straight from Sligro.

Not bad at all for an all you can eat, definitely worth a try

Zeer slecht. Eten is gekookt in plaats van gebakken, dit aan de filiaalmanager doorgegeven. Niet echt het gevoel dat we serieus genomen werden. Mw kom ons melden dat alles gekookt werd aangeleverd en dat we er niet ziek van zouden worden. Bij het opnieuw bestellen hetzelfde probleem. Bij betalen werden we de deur uit gekeken. We komen hier niet meer terug!!!

Overall, the food was good, sometimes the food was floating in the sauce or dressing, I found the noisy environment very difficult to have a conversation and understand

Very friendly, fast service. Tasty food and tasty cocktails.

Heel goede kwaliteit van eten, een goede variatie aan gerechtjes en mooi gepresenteerd. Alsook vriendelijke bediening. Vis en vlees waren heel goed klaargemaakt, niks droog. Heel goedkoop voor wat je krijgt. Ik ben grote fan!

Eerste ervaring met La Cubanita. Heel toffe ervaring, vriendelijk personeel, vlotte bediening, niet lang op onze bestellingen moeten wachten. Het eten was heerlijk en de porties waren OK, ideaal om te sharen. Enige minpunt was dat het binnen wel redelijk warm was. Prijs-kwaliteit een echte aanrader.

Very tasty meal. Staff was very friendly and very fast and good service.

Had dinner here with the family last Thursday. Cozy tent! Food is simply good price/quality.

Disappointment. We have very good experiences at LC Zwolle, delicious food there. So last weekend when we were in Utrecht we quickly ended up here. One mistake. Such a difference in taste, the food just wasn't very tasty. Delicious sweet potato fries in Zwolle, but here they were very greasy and the sauce was poured over it instead of on top, so it was soggy. Shame. It didn't help that it was very hot inside (no air conditioning).

Very friendly and helpful staff. Only praise, in that regard. The restaurant itself is a bit narrow and oppressive. Was very warm inside.

Very pleasant to sit and eat with colleagues, smoothly and neatly.

Wonderful to eat on the terrace on a summer evening, for the first time at a good la cubanita with good hot food.

Tucked away in a corner of a corner, staff who literally put your tapas on the table and come every 5 minutes to ask if everything is to your liking but say "oh" when you report something. Food was very average, although the menu is the same at the branches, it was the worst here so far.

Food quite okay. The staff really really tries their best, but we feel they are so young and there is little training or supervision. Excellent location in itself

Nice food mate really sick but only the kibbeling was a bit watery and boiled over all the time

It was nice, but now I have to go to the toilet very often for a big errand

An evening of tapas, who wouldn't want that? In love with the Spanish burgers! Me and my girlfriend like to eat here, great price, lots of food. Too bad that unfortunately some tasty dishes are now gone. And maybe I wouldn't have used butbarloo. Now I'm always on my phone ordering. Super tasty special cocktails, not available anywhere else. Also had my first date here with my girlfriend, good place for that!

Nice place and just good food. Not haute cuisine, but you don't expect that

Amazing Tapas, all-you-can-eat is just an amazing formula. almost every dish is prepared with love, and their cocktails are also great

QR system was not working and service was too slow. We didn't get some dishes we ordered.

It's tasty, but you've had everything pretty quickly

Good to have been once, cocktails were also great

Delicious food, lots of different things, top restaurant.

Really bad. I'm disappointed that I spent so much money on that food because it was terrible. The meat is inedible and the shrimps are cooked completely dry. It's a real shame I spent €70 there as I still had to eat it at home. I don't recommend it at all, the food is super late and I really didn't enjoy it. Too bad you're wasting money. It was an inedible, expensive and pathetic dinner and I will never return to this restaurant. I don't recommend it at all. Expensive and bad.

Ongelooflijk slecht, we hebben meer dan € 70 uitgegeven en te weinig gegeten, superhard vlees, gedroogde garnalen en te laat. Een van de ervaringen waar ik het meest spijt van heb. Erg slecht eten

Friendly staff, but, unfortunately, absolutely horrible food. Every single thing was bad, and it wasn’t cheap enough to explain why everything was so low quality.

Good restaurant. Friends made fun of me and pretended it was my birthday. That's why I didn't have dessert and everyone else did. The kitchen was already closed, but I still got my lava cake. Great service!

Excellent tapas, shame about the 2 hours and max 2 pieces per round. After 9 laps the time was up. Still a little hungry, but okay.

Chorizo ​​was raw, I had to send it back twice, otherwise a typical Spanish restaurant... 6/10

Continue as we have experienced Sappo

Delicious food, staff also friendly.
