“The REAL DEAL!! Best authentic Cuban food in SC. We drive from Charlotte to get out Latin food fix. Food is made with love, and service is excellent! You need to try the guava and cheese pastry dipped in your cafe con leche. Como lo tomaba mima!! 🥰 May God continue to bless the people!”

Cuban Appetizers

Ham Croquettes

$4.02

Crisp, breaded croquettes filled with savory ham.

“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!”

Cuban Empanadas

Chicken Empanada

$4.95

Crispy pastry filled with seasoned chicken, served with garlic 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.”

Sandwiches

Cuban Sandwich

$17.19

Pressed ham and roast pork with pickles, mustard, and a cheese choice.

“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.”

Medianoche Sandwich

$13.74

Pork, ham, pickles, mustard, mayo, and cheese on Medianoche bread.

“If you’re Cuban and you miss your food, this is the spot. Everything was amazing, the food, the service, all of it. The owner is the sweetest. We even grabbed some turrón de maní to take home 😏. Sharing a pic of our plates: my husband got bistec de palomilla and I got pernil. The tamal left me speechless, and the guava pastries were insane 😋😋😋😋. Easy 10/10.🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩”
