Kuba-kuba

Upon arriving to the restaurant, I was greeted as soon as I stepped into the door. We were able to sit at any open table. Now, con was they were out of the first two items that I wanted to try the Cod and crab cake. However, the bar.b.quban was my third runner up, and it was very satisfying. I am not typically a pork fan, but it is a Cuban restaurant, so I tried it. It was delicious, juicy, and flavorful. I also had the empadilla's not disappointed. This was a nice little spot that made my day. If in Richmond I would return. I enjoyed it maybe you will too.

This place is spectacular! Incredible food, friendly service, and the portions are MASSIVE. The food is way fancier (ie seasoned, complex, etc) than in the parts of Cuba I’ve been to, so I’d rather eat here than on the island itself. Definitely one of the most unique and worthwhile places to visit in Richmond. The ambiance is also excellent - a former diner turned into a unique and eclectic place. In that regard, Kuba Kuba definitely carries the spirit of contemporary Havana.

Delicious Cuban spot right in Richmond downtown. Their fried plantains are amazing! Cuban sandwich is delicious. Huge and super tasty plates. Friendly and helpful servers. They are pretty busy at lunch, so sometimes might be hard to get a table. We arrived right before the rush lunch time. The only thing I didn't like is that after we got our food, the servers didn't pay any more attention to us.. they were busy with other tables. It took us a while to get our check. But I get it, not enough employees. Apart from that, overall good food and good place. Would definitely come back

Great neighborhood restaurant. Authentic Cuban cuisine. We had the Roast Pork shank with mashed potatoes and green beans. The mashed potatoes are real and taste like home cooked potatoes with butter and cream. The pork was tender and flavorful. We also ordered the Roasted Pork with black beans and yellow rice. Hands down the best dish at the restaurant. Didn’t take pictures because we were too excited when the food came to the table. Salute to the owner and to the chef.

Kuba Kuba gave a vibe of neighborhood favorites with lots of history plastered all over the restaurant. Went there with high expectation since I was recommended by someone who lived around. Lunch hour on weekday wasn’t too busy but everyone seemed pretty occupied so had to wait couple of minutes just to be greeted. Paella Valeciana is definitely not the dish I would order again. Seafood in there was not fresh at all. Had an upset stomach throughout my entire trip home. Would visit again just for the vibe and maybe try other items apart from seafood.
