Vivian's restaurant has outstandingly deliscious food. The service is excellent, and the quality of the ingredients and preparation is incredible. I had the Tostan, a cuban sandwich made with green plantain, deliscious chicken pieces and topped with a drizzle of carmelized onion and garlic. The mango smoothie is served with either Tequila, Rum or vodka and I was one of... More

We were wandering down Hildago trying to decide where to eat and came to Qubana. I knew we were going to eat there at some point this week, so it may as well be tonight! Mini trio sampler--it was hard to pick a favorite! Pulled pork sandwich, chicken sandwich, hand cut fries, Viviens salad and cantaloupe water. Wonderful meal and... More

Finally got around to stopping here - new, larger location with expanded hours. I just wanted a salad and the Cobb salad was outstanding - home-made blue cheese dressing! Dear heart had the cuban sandwich and declared it the best he's ever had. Vivian explained how the meats are kept moist and that makes all the difference. Also, the roll... More

During my recent stay at Plaza Almendros, Vivian was away until the last day. Went there because so many reviews were excellent. This restaurant was just a few doors away from my hotel, and it's a good thing I was leaving. Otherwise, I would have eaten here every day and gained even more pounds than I did and needed a... More

Qubano was one of my favorite restaurants on Isla. Friendly staff, great service, and absolutely wonderful food. The sandwiches and potato accompaniment was some of the best I've had!

Just came back from two weeks on Isla Mujeres, and in those two weeks we ate at Qubanos 5 times. The Hungarian potatoes are amazing, and the perfect start to a meal. For the sandwiches, it is hard to choose between the Toston, Cuban, or the Chicken Cordon Bleu. If you haven't tried a cuban sandwich, you won't believe how... More

This restaurant did not dissapoint at all. I had the mini trio and the toston was by the best. I really wanted to return so I could have it again but never had the chance. The owner was wonderful and explained the menu to us and how to make the hungararian potatoes. She was great going from table to table... More
