Absolutely wonderful

I ate here with my husband and another couple. Everyone was thrilled with their food. The atmosphere is great, very cozy and romantic. Get there early as it gets very crowded and the bar area is small. It's...

Order the Mojitos by Nina D. at InsiderPages

Great cuban food at reasonable prices in a charming atmosphere. Order the pitcher of Mojitos to split with friends (or just for yourself if you want.) The only drawback is they do not take reservations, so...

Former Resident

As a former resident and frequent visitor of Denver I have to say that 'discovering' Cuba Cuba on my last visit was a very pleasant surprise. After all of the over-blown, oh-so-trendy new spots down at LoDo...

Cha Chaaa Chaaaa!

I don't know why people compare this with SF because in the Bay we have "cha chaa Chaa!". That place is the only place I could compare Cuba Cuba with, and I'd say this place definitely comes up short. I also...

Best latin food in the midwest!!!

A small slice of Havana

First of all, this is a Cuban restaurant, not Brazilian as the previous review states. This is the closest thing you will find to authentic Cuban food in Denver. You'll notice a lot of caribbean influence with...

Cuba Cuba came highly recommended to me, and we ate there my first night ever visiting Denver. I was impressed by the homemade Sangria and Mojito's. The plantains were all prepared perfectly and the camerones...

overrated...

Denver's love affair with Cuba Cuba looks like a keeper. However, it's more of a place to be seen than to dine on fantastic Cuban food. Last week, four of us stopped in for a visit. The overall dining...

Bad Cuban Food is the WORST

Being a Florida native, I was expecting a lot more than a trendy atmosphere from a Miami native Cuban restaurant owner. The tostones were dry, obviously old, and not seasoned. Tostones should be crispy on the...

If it's friendly service you are looking for, then pass Cuba Cuba by. The restaurant has unique decoration and makes a fantastic mojito. We had a lot of time to notice the decor and the menu due to our 2 hour...
