"My husband, who is Cuban, and I came here on a stop while we were driving through. We both ordered the puerco frito and it was phenomenal! Super tender and savory- the garlic sauce and rice were perfection. We also got sides of yuca fries and maduros and they were also delicious. It’s really difficult to impress my husband because his family is always making authentic Cuban food, but this was the first time he said he’d recommend a Cuban restaurant. Also, their customer service is incredible. The woman who took our order answered all our questions and helped us pick what to order. Lastly, I left my jacket in the restroom and the manager, Jonathan, shipped it to my home since I am not local. I offered to pay for the shipping but in true Cuban fashion, they wouldn’t accept it. We will definitely come back here again if we find ourselves in the area!"

"Came here with a cousin to start planning out this year’s (2025) thanksgiving dinner. I like the cuban atmosphere here, and ambient music, not too loud, more than enough sitting area when we were there (Saturday evening 5-6 pm). I would definitely come back for lunch to try out the sandwiches another time. I order the affogato Cubano and the brownie with guava drizzle, the coffee was enjoyable and the guava drizzle did give the brownie a tangy twist to it which i did enjoy. Service was as expected."

"Took my class here for an authentic learning and real-world experience. Cubanissimo’s staff impressed us with their speedy and welcoming service. A+ staff and food. Yum!"

"We had some much fun in this restaurant. The food was great, the drinks were amazing and the owner and staff are friendly and helpful. I happened to go on comedy night and what a blast. If you haven't caught a comedy show there, you definitely should put it on your list of things to do! 5 stars, definitely recommend."

"Great little hidden gem in Santa Maria with Cuban food and friendly staff! Close to electric chargers!"
