“Incredible food! We are Cuban and from Miami… so we know authentic Cuban food. This is the real deal! I really wish they were closer to us. But willing to drive more than 1hr from where we live now just to have their amazing food. It was 10 of us and we all enjoyed what we ordered. I don’t think you can go wrong with anything on their menu. Thank you to Cuban Corner for an amazing meal!”

Cuban Empanadas

“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

“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 Pastries

“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!”
