I was very impressed with this place. The food was AMAZING! Mouth-watering delicious. Favorite dishes were the plantain roll, shrimp tacos and the pan seared beef. The staff was very friendly. Fast service. Definitely recommend.
Authentic cuban food in Columbus. Possibly one of the best stops for delicious and comfort Cuban food around town. It’s cozy and relaxing with latin music playing is the background. The empanadas are crispy with a moist filling of chicken or ground beef. The ‘Plato con Lechón’ is my favorite. The Latin flavors are abundant and they surely satisfy the craving for authentic Cuban cuisine! The Cuban sandwich is indulging and satisfying. Will definitely come again.
We tried this place for the first time today and we will definitely be back! The Cuban sandwich is fantastic as are the chicken sandwich and the tacos. The empanadas we had as an appetizer were great as well. Topped it all off with a delicious not-too-sweet flan.
I was amazed to find a Cuban restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, and a really good one at that! We had plantain soup which was delicious! We had the Cuban sandwich, steak sandwich, a frita, and the roasted pork entree. The Cuban sandwich and roast pork were especially on point! We sat outside and it was a lovely Sunday afternoon. All in all, we had a fantastic visit to the Plantain Cafe and look forward to visiting again the next time we're in Columbus.
Excellent food and a fantastic staff. Easily the best Cuban I've had outside of Florida, even though it didn't have salami (like a proper Cuban!) I jokingly complained about this to the owner and she promised to have some for me the next time I came in, which I hope will be soon.

I came here for brunch today. The shredded pork was amazingly good, very sweet and tender. The plantains were perfectly prepared. I tried one of the Cuban sodas as well and enjoyed it. The staff was super friendly and answered all of our questions about the food. Definitely check this place out!
I liked the food, what more is there to say. I had the vegetarian plate which was beans and rice and three banana based foods none of which I had seen before. One was some kind of roasted banana, one was deep fried banana, and one was some kind of taco made of/with banana? Can't wait to come back and try some of their other foods! Also I like they're Pacifico beer.
Great customer service and food. Decent prices for the servings. Our waitress was friendly. Plantains are absolutely delicious. The empanadas are probably the best I've ever had. I'd come back just for those alone.
The service was good, not overbearing, but enough to let you know they were there to take care of you. The is the first time I have been here and in all actuality didn't plan on going
I was headed Barroluco, but upon arrival I was told I needed a reservation...not! Anonther peeson in our party recommended the Plantain Cafe'...well it's a score. The food is great, if you havent been give it a try..I'll be back, no reservations about this place.
Great location, great Cuban sandwiches, and even though the cafe Cubanos aren't exactly what you'd get in a place like Miami, they're still very good. Definitely recommend.
