Cubanos - Silver Spring

Delicious! It's my first Cuban food I've ever had... and it's amazing! The Plantain is so unique and tasty... the Pastelon de Carne Eloisa (Plantain ontop of Ground Beef) and File de Pollo a la Parrilla (drilled chicken) are so good! Last but not least the Mojito grande...is the MUST HAVE...

We stopped by here on our way to a show in Silver Spring and we were just amazed! First of all, friendly staff, they were very accomodating and answered whatever questions we had about the food. Of course we had to go for Mojitos for drinks. I felt they were strong, but so delicious. Food itself was awesome, I gotta say the Masitas de Puerco were on point. The plate was left clean after the fact! I thought the portions were great for the price point. Gotta love Cuban cuisine, this is one of my favorite in the DMV area.

Outstanding food and excellent service. Very nice atmosphere. The mojito is excellent.

STRONGLY suggest... Empanaditas Olga Picadillo flavor. Tostones Fried Green Plantains. Picadillo a lo Ñeñe A magnificent Cuban hash of beef, speckled by green olives and capers, with diced potatoes, onions, and green peppers joined by a soothingly seasoned tomato sauce. Bistec Palomilla Finely marinated and thinly sliced top sirloin, flame grilled and blanketed with minced onions and parsley. Mariscada A hearty mixture of scrumptious seafood: morsels of fresh fish, sparkling shrimp, tender squid, clams, mussels, capers, and black olives in a rich tomato and garlic sauce. Snapper Tropicana Crispy snapper coated with green plantain, draped in delicate scallop cream sauce and topped with grilled shrimp. Ropa Vieja Old Clothes Shredded beef in Cuban style sauce with tomato, garlic, onion and red and green peppers. Everything I have had here is amazing. But the Bistec Palomilla Mariscada are my top two favorites at the moment. MOJITOS are AMAZING. And the flan.... is TO DIE FOR. Service is EXCELLENT. Best Cuban in the entire DMV area hands down.

Cozy, warm, and welcoming, this restaurant has plenty of seating surrounded by beautiful oil paintings and charming decor. The staff is extremely friendly, and the food is prepared fresh for every order. The Sangria is excellent—definitely a must-try, especially for fellow silver jumpers looking for a great dinner spot. Forget about the traffic, reservations, and potential disappointments—just come here instead!
