What People Are Saying About La Cubanita Llc

The Scene – This tiny blue and yellow building houses another addition to the Knox Street area from the Lombardi family. A lazy beach feel runs throughout the Cuban-inspired restaurant, with comfy lounge chairs providing a tropical respite on the patio and various photos of the mother island decorating the indoor dining room. Service is quick and attentive. – – The Food – The restaurant's Cuban renditions of salads, sandwiches and full dinner entrees incorporate hints of Mexico. The popular marquitas con guacamole appetizer sweetens more than most Dallas guacamoles…
Terrible place! Unprofessional behavior!
by CSMobileUser
I visited this so-called "Cuban" restaurant not too long ago and feel that it is my civic duty to warn people about this place. A friend and I had dinner there and while the food was ok at best, the service and behavior of the staff was just plain despicable. We were appalled to discover that most of the staff was drinking alcohol on the job in front of guests! The manager, who was unprofessionally dressed in a wrinkled tshirt and some jeans, was seen pouring liquor into her styrofoam cup and drinking while attempting to "manage" this poor excuse of a restaurant. All in all, the food was mediocre (disgusting at times), the staff was inattentive and drunk, and the fake-breasted redhead manager should be fired for her negligent behavior and blatant alcohol abuse at the workplace. I urge you all to stay away from this place, and perhaps alert Lombardi to the terrible behavior displayed here.
A New Experience
by DaddyD
I was pleasantly surprised! I asked a lot of questions since I didn't know what some of the items were.
They have something like a French Fry but it was made with a root. I was a little nervous about this at first, but it was excellent! Better than a fry!
My lunch buddy and I each ordered a different sandwich and split them. Mine was a pulled pork and hers was a chicken breast with pesto. I have to admit, they were far different from any sandwich I had tasted. New flavors that were so enjoyable. There is a sauce that you can dip your sandwich in that has a hint of lime I think. It really adds.
I know that $10.00 is a little pricey for a sandwich, but still the food was excellent and unique!
- Pros: Great Staff - Unique Flavors - Trendy Location
- Cons: Parking - Price
Pretty Good, but a disappointment compared to the other Lombardi Restaurants

I was surprised to see how empty this place was when I went there...The mango sangria was great, the appetizer we got had plaintain chips with three different dips and that was wonderful as well...I got a tuna special entree, I should have gone with one of the sandwiches my friends got, they were much better.
