I am Cuban and I can tell you that this restaurant is one of the furthest things from Cuban that I have come across. I asked for fried plantains (maduros) and they had no clue what I was talking about. Not even the white rice was good.
Save your money and go to Burger King instead.

I eat at Kuba Kuba every few months and I enjoy the food a great deal. As a native Floridian, I am familiar with Cuban cuisine, and the food at Kuba Kuba is tasty, but definitely not what I would call authentic Cuban food. Perhaps the owner is from a different part of Cuba than the owners of the myriad Cuban restaurants that I have dined at in ...

Kuba Kuba is a favorite for my wife and I. There are so many of our favorite dishes on the menu.

I love Kuba Kuba, probably my favorite Richmond restaurant. I've had Cuban food cooked by Cubans in Miami and they have nothing on Kuba Kuba. Food is great, love the atmosphere. You've got to try the Tres Leches cake and the Kafe Con Leche sweetened. Great stuff.

Food is great. First time I had fried plantains and I was sold. Service is a little slow and I did see a little cockroach once, but I keep coming back for the great food in huge portions.

The food here is excellent - I especially like the cafe con leche, fried plantains, roast pork omelet and the portobello panini. However, I would avoid Kuba Kuba if you are going to meet someone afterwards or going to a social engagement like church because you leave smelling like the a Cuban's armpit.

I never had Cuban food till I went to Kuba Kuba, but man does that Cuban Sandwich taste good! And the fried plantains on the side are a nice touch as well. Definitely a good choice if you're looking for something out of the ordinary!

Love it! I go here probably once every month or so. I bring out of town friends and family here. It is a great little, unique place with a lot of charm. Yes, it's small, so not great for parties 7+ but that's part of the charm. I love the Cuban Pork dinner and the Tres Leches cake is amazing. Also, for brunch, the California Rancheros is my favorite. I would highly recommend it if you have never been.

Be kind to yourself and visit Kuba Kuba while in Richmond. The Cuban sandwiches, vanilla tres leches cake, and more make it a real favorite! It's tiny, it's kitchy, it's excellent!
