Kuba Kuba

The inside of the restaurant is straight out of Cuba, with the brightly painted walls and murals. Great music. The staff are all attentive but mostly seem content to stand to the side and chat. I ordered the Empanadillas (not shown), with spinach and ricotta, which were absolutely fantastic. Then the Sloppy José— the meat was a little dry and flavorless, not much cheese— otherwise good. The Tres Leches cake was great but too sweet for me.

Authentic cuban food that tastes delicious! We go there often! I love the Lunch roasted pork special! It is scrumptious and they have a Rana sauce that adds just the right amount of spice to the dish! The cuban music and decor adds to the dining experience. The wait staff is on the ball! They know when you need them and when to not hover! Great to go on a date night or with a party of up to 6 or 8 people! Manny, the owner, if he is there, adds to the wonderful atmosphere! It’s a MUST if you are visiting Richmond! If you live here and haven’t been to Kuba Kuba… then you are really missing out!

So much character in such a small space. I love the representation for the Cuban culture here, from the varied art on the wall, to the items for sale. There were only 3 people to help service, 1 older gentleman, a young blonde lady, and another gentleman whom was cooking everything. Since only 2 people could help the ever growing crowd for lunch, it became a little more difficult to get attention without calling anyone over, but that was OK. The quality of the food was very fresh, although it lacked in flavor. I had to keep using the house sauce for my meal (shredded beef over rice). Also tried the tres leches cake, which to me was very dense (pound cake like) with not much moisture. Not to say it was bad, but just lacked what I am used to in a tres leches cake. Everyone was very friendly and prices were decent, so I might give it another try one day, if even only to grab a bottle of their house sauce (it was very very good).
