Cuban Appetizers

Ham Croquettes

$4.02

“Thank goodness Columbia finally has exceptional Cuban fare! After moving away from the coast, I had begun to worry that I would never taste authentic croquetas de jamón or ropa vieja again! There is truly no wrong choice when it comes to this menu. You could choose any dish at random and still come out on top! The quality of the ingredients is superb and the portions are more than fair for the price. Thank you to the good folk at Cuban Corner for bringing such fantastic cuisine to our area!”

Sandwiches

Cuban Sandwich

$17.19

Pressed bread holds ham, roast pork, pickles, mustard, and cheese.

“I have to say this Cuban sandwich with a Cuban colada absolutely blew me away. Hands down, this is the most delicious Cuban sandwich and the freshest Cuban colada I’ve had in my entire life. You’d think Florida, being the heart of Cuban culture, would have the edge but this place proved me wrong. Perfectly balanced, packed with flavor, and cooked to perfection. Every bite was on point. 😅 Great service to match the great food. I 100% recommend this spot.”

Cuban Empanadas

Beef Empanada

$4.54

A flaky pastry encloses beef, with a required choice of dipping sauce.

“This was my second time here and the food did not dissapoint! The staff is very friendly and great service. The Cuban sandwich is huge, enough for two to share. We also had the fried yucca and beef and chicken empanadas. All were delicious, but my favorite was the chicken empanada with a material soda. Highly recommend if you want an authentic Cuban cuisine experience. Also try the natural pineapple juice. 10/10.”

Cuban Beef Dishes

Cuban Pork Dishes

Pernil

$17.19

Roasted pork with Cuban mojito comes with your choice of two sides.

“I've been to Cuban Corner three times now and each experience was better than the last! First time I enjoyed the grilled chicken (amazing: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️). Second time, the pernil (delicious: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️). Today I tried the vaca frita (OMG, at least⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️). The service is great. The atmosphere is welcoming. I can't wait to try all the other dishes!”

Cuban Side Dishes

Tostones

$6.84

“My husband and I had a great first experience at Cuban Corner! He got vaca frita with black beans and tostones; I got ropa vieja with fried plantains and yellow rice. The standout for us was the ropa vieja! We are already planning our next visit - this time we plan to dine in and try the Cuban sandwich. An exciting addition to the Columbia food scene - would definitely recommend!”
