Cuban Kitchen - San Mateo (CA)

5 /5 JessicaAnn Orr: This was a great place! We loved it very much. We are from out of the area and enjoyed this cozy little café. It is so clean and the restrooms are beautiful. The inside is welcoming and the staff is simply amazing. I cannot recommend this place enough. Please go and then go again! Because youll want more. Thank you for a great adventure. My husband and I appreciated your hospitality and the meal was more than we could have ever dreamed of.

5 /5 Farshad P: There aren’t too many Cuban places in the Bay Area and I gotta say Cuban Kitchen is worth the trip to San Mateo alone. This is authentic, home cooked delicious Cuban food. It feels like you’re eating inside of their home. I don’t I why some reviews said the portion size was small, that’s simply not true. I went by that and added a side of meat thinking I’d need it. I got the Mojito Chicken platter with the yellow rice and sub tostones for the maduros, and side half order lechon with beans. The chicken was good, but this was easily the best lechon I’ve ever had. It wasn’t greasy, or dry, it was super tender chunks of perfectly cooked pork. The crunch of the tostones and the black beans makes for one of the best bites of food. Also the sauces here absolutely spectacular, and they got a cafe Cubano here that can easily compete with the ones in Miami. The lady working was also super nice and welcoming. Definitely recommend coming here

4 /5 M H: This is a small family run restaurant with a taste of old Cuban food. The Cuban lechon sandwich was tasty, but relative small. Ordered the rice and bean plates with meat. Noticed that there were no vegetables with the order. They only have a dish with broccoli. The yuca fries were very well prepared.

5 /5 Oneill Mclean: Cuban Kitchen in San Mateo hits the spot with their classic Cuban sandwich. The non alcoholic mojito lemonade is delicious and a great refresher on a hot day for sure. The vibe is laid-back and welcoming, would recommend stopping by after shopping at the mall or on your way to the hiking trails.
