Reviews For El Punto Cubano

If there’s one thing TikTok rarely fails to do, it’s lead you to delicious food. I stumbled upon El Punto Cubano after the owner did a video asking for advice, or suggestions concerning her business and it blew up on my FYP. Naturally, I had to investigate—and after 4 visits, I can confidently say this place isn’t just a viral moment, it’s a genuinely soulful Cuban spot worth the hype. Will be back again. And it was very nice meeting you this afternoon

The service here was great. They were closing and have a self service register, but I had a question about their sandwich de carne asada not being listed on the computer. It was under Roast Beef. Arely was so kind and took my order even as she was doing closing duties. I ordered the sandwich and the ropa vieja. Excuse the photo below, it shuffled around in the bag. Arely also graciously gave me all of the sauces they had available to try, and they were great as well. I look forward to going back and trying other items.

I wasn’t expecting the menu to be the way it was set up (Big Restaurant Not corner booth ) I went for the Cuban sandwich and it was amazing I also had the beef empanadas which was authentic just like the Cuban !

10/10! The food was so good! I had the skirt steak sandwich & requested it to be dipped in the garlic sauce, which was the icing on the cake. The flavors worked so well together and I will definitely be back. This is my first time having Cuban food and will definitely be back! I paired it with their freshly squeezed mango juice. It was so refreshing! Can’t wait to try the other items on the menu.

The fact I burned my mouth eating these proves 1) they are just that good 2) they’re made fresh 3) I have no impulse control when it comes to cheese. 10/10 experience would return to injure myself further.

This restaurant is in Dekalb Market amongst many other small food stops. While trying to pick a dinner spot, I saw a fellow customer with a delicious looking dish and had to ask where she got it from. It was the Cuban mofongo from El Punto Cubano, so of course I got the same thing. My boyfriend ordered the pollo picante and both dishes were soooo good with ingredients so fresh. Definitely gave a homemade feel with great service. I would recommend to anyone coming to Dekalb Market!!!
