Cafeteria La Cubana - Santa Clara

Located on the bustling boulevard of Santa Clara, the most popular commercial and pedestrian street in the city, is Cafe La Cubana, a local café that we discovered during our first morning stroll through the historic center of the Villa. Feeling a bit hungry, we approached to check out the prices on their menu. In addition to coffees, they also had a good variety of food such as different types of sandwiches, burgers, and hot dogs. The best part came when we saw their prices - super affordable, just like the "ventanitas" (the places where food is usually cheaper in Cuba). So, we didn't think twice and ordered two little sandwiches with omelette and cheese, and one with ham, for only 50 cents each. The café only has a few tables on its small terrace (there are none inside), but despite being on the street, it's comfortable thanks to the sun-covering awning. In summary, a no-frills place with basic food, very affordable prices, and a great location.
