Caliente Cuban Cafe - Fort Wayne

Excellent food, great service!! It is really worth driving from Indianapolis, just eating in such a beautiful place. We have to get back soon!

Delicious! Pork on my Cuban sandwich was tender and juicy, fries were good. Had the right amount of spicy, for me that's a little kick but not too much. Server was nice and the food came quickly. Great lunch!

The nachos were very tasty and filling, but I would have liked more veggies to balance out the meat and beans. The service was excellent.

Such a cute little spot downtown! Food was “okay”. Only heard nothing but great about it so our family wanted to try it. Kind of disappointed. The service took a LONG time. I get it small spot, not a ton of employees working. Bartender took care of us. Positive attitude and vibe. Just really slow. Took maybe 10 minutes to order our drinks. Finally got to get our order in 20 minutes after that. Then finally got our food maybe 30 minutes after putting the order in. Prices were a little high but we do love supporting local. Probably won’t be back for awhile. I get it I’m younger and more forgiving. It’s my parents who are older and just never want to try again. Other tables seemed a little impatient as well.

Restaurant review I would like to preface my review to say I have never been to Cuba so I can't compare the sandwiches to the most authentic experience. I had been itching to try these sandwiches for a while as it is a unique ethnic restaurant located in a town with limited ethnic food choices. We found parking at a local garage although we likely could have found a street parking spot as well. The restaurant itself was large and had a bar area as well. For the deluxe sandwiches, 14 dollars is quite steep for lunch, but the portions are large. I can't say that I was super impressed by the flavoring of the Cubano sandwich, but again I don't have anything to compare it to. I also had a side of the yucca which were tasty and felt healthier than simple fries. They were nice enough to split a sandwich for the kids, but that also came with a plate splitting fee as well, however I felt they did get a little more side of fries than if we just ordered one. It's a unique experience and I will let you decide if you like it.
