Baracoa Cuban Restaurant

We had such a great experience here! From the moment we walked in, the entire staff made us feel welcome and taken care of. Our waiter was absolutely fantastic—attentive, friendly, and genuinely kind. He made sure our drinks were always filled, checked in at the perfect times, and gave great recommendations. You can tell customer service truly matters to this team. The food was just as impressive—fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Every dish we ordered was delicious, and you could really taste the quality. It’s rare to find a place that nails both service and food, but they absolutely do. Hands down one of the best spots in the AV when it comes to customer service and overall tasty food. We’ll definitely be back!

We were visiting this area and this restaurant was highly recommended. We went last Saturday night and they had 2 awesome performers. Glad that I made a reservation so we could sit outside where the performers were. Our server was attentive though he was busy. The food and drinks were delicious.

Absolutely amazing. This is hands down the best Cuban restaurant I’ve tried in California. I was born and raised in Cuba, so I know what real Cuban food should taste like and this place truly delivers. The food was outstanding. I had the ropa vieja with black beans, white rice, and fried plantains, and it was perfection. Every bite tasted like home. Desserts were also excellent. Service was just as great, Jose was our server and he was fantastic, and we even had the pleasure of meeting the chef Carlos. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and beautifully done. Highly recommend. I can’t wait to come back.

Our party of two came here on a Tuesday evening at 6 PM for dinner. We were seated promptly and the helpful wait staff came and took our order shortly thereafter. We ordered the ceviche and the traditional Cubano. I was shocked as to the portion size for the ceviche, normally restaurants will skimp on the protein, but this one was loaded with shrimp and I absolutely loved it. It was incredibly flavorful with the mango and avocado slices. That was great, but the standout for me was the traditional Cuban sandwich. I’ve had a few cubanos before, but this one ranks as one of my favorites. The list of ingredients is simple, but it was so incredibly delicious. I definitely recommend coming here if you’re in the area!

Small indoor dining area provides a cozy dining experience. Food is very good. Beer selection is also good with all the local breweries represented on tap. The prices are a bit high for the Beer however.

First time having Cuban food, and i had a great experience. The food had great flavors and the portion is just right.

Amazing Food & Service! ​Huge shout-out to this wonderful Cuban spot! My daughter works here and suggested we give it a try, and it did not disappoint. ​The Food: My chicken sandwich was delicious, the oxtails were a huge hit with my wife, and the grandkids loved the Chico chicken tenders. ​The Vibe: Top-notch atmosphere! ​The Service: Juan was our waiter and he was awesome—so jolly and welcoming! ​Thanks for a great family dinner. We highly recommend it!
