Cuban Island Cafe

I enjoy coming here every so often. The food is good, the service is pretty good, the price matches what you get.

Excellent food and service! This is my new favorite spot in Middle Georgia! We had Colada’s, Croquetta de Jamo, Ropa Friejo and Jerk Chicken. with Congri Rice and Black Beans. and Sweet Plantain. The jerk chicken was delicious and different. We had never eaten the jerk chicken the way it was prepared. Then there is Flan… oh my, scrumptious!!!

I know absolutely nothing about Cuban cuisine, but what I do know is what good food tastes like and this place hit the mark. I’ve had the sandwiches for lunch before so decided to come in for dinner. Wow, amazing food at a good price. I’ll be back – maybe tomorrow! I had the Cuban Tour, kind of a sampler of meat three ways complete with all the traditional sides.

I’ve been here a few times now and other than trying the different appetizers I haven’t ordered anything other than the Cuban sandwich. To put it simply, I don’t want anything else because this sandwich is amazing! Every single bite of it! The fried plantains appetizer is delish and the queso that comes with it it a perfect match. The staff is very nice and attentive. Because of all the above I’ll be going back again and again for sure!

Outstanding! This is one of the only places I know of to get authentic Cuban food in Middle Georgia. The food is great and the atmosphere is very cool. One night I went and they were giving tango lessons! It was awesome! Be sure to try the croquetas. They’re delicious!

My wife and I eat here often. The piccadillo is amazing as well as the jerk chicken which isn’t authentic. It’s more like a stewed chicken but delicious none the less. All the entrees are served with rice, beans, plantains and yuca. Plenty of food for a decent price for sure!

Cuban food near Warner Robins, GA? Yes please. Food was plenty good too. I don’t know what qualifies as authentic, but it sure was good.

A most authentic menu and food. Everything is made to order with the perfect spices. Service is beyond excellent and very friendly.

Great food. Sandwiches are awesome! Best black beans in Georgia. Must try the rope vieja’

I’m from Miami and we came here for work and in my opinion this restaurant is hands down one of the best Cuban places I’ve had
The service was really good
I order ceviche and breaded steak… Everything came out perfect
Highly recommend this place
Ps I haven even left the place and I’m already trying to figure out when to come back)

Friendly staff, good food, reasonable prices. The Ropa Vieja was a little dry, but still very flavorful. Everything was satisfactory, to a decent extent. Not many Cuban options in this area, so, if this one is what we’ve got, then it could be a lot worse.

I am from Miami and used to eating some of the best Cuban food! This is an excellent restaurant, very traditional and delicious! Services Creek and the people are super friendly! The Ropa Vieja is fantastic, we love the empanadas which we have asked them to put the Ropa vieja meet inside of the empanadas and then make a custom for us, the café con Leche is superb! This is my favourite little spot to eat!!!

Great traditional food! The ropa vieja with sweet plantains is the best dish in the house. Really miss the old management… wish them the best.

On my third visit to Emilio’s, I ordered 2 Cuban coffees with milk and 2 Cuban sandwiches. By the time I was home with my order, the coffee had cooled to a temperature less than scalding, and I realized that the milk used in my café con leche was quite sour, unlike the same drink ordered for my husband.
EDIT: When I returned to report the problem, the night shift staff was accommodating and provided a fresh one with good milk, no questions asked.

This is one of my favorite places to eat! The service is excellent and the food is delicious. I am so glad Emilio’s is only 5 minutes from my house!

The hubby finally convince me to go and it was ok. Greeted and seated promptly. I don’t know if they really accommodate families or people with babies because they didn’t offer us a high chair luckily the kiddo slept the entire time. Menu was easy to read even though some of the dishes were mostly sandwiches. I like the side option of two. I ordered chicken covered with cheese and sauce, yellow rice, 2 sides of plantains and beans. The chicken was ok, kind of salty. The plantains were good but burnt. I didn’t like the beans at all just had a weird flavor and they were like soupy. The yellow rice lack the expected Cuban flair and distinctive taste. I requested more plantains in place of the beans and they were cooked just right. The hubby got the same entrée just had their version of fries, big hunks of sliced potato wedges fried — they seemed dry to me. We never saw our waiter who gave us our drinks until she came back with our checks. Couldn’t even flag her down to complain about the beans until she came back, so i never got a refill or anything. Overall service very slack, food ok, restaurant was clean and not noisy for the lunch hour

Wow!!! Awesome fares for very reasonable prices. Went during lunch with co-​workers and the lunch portions ran for approx $ 7! The adobo was seasoned to perfection and the tres leches cake was really rich.
If you’ve never had Cuban food, this is an awesome place and the waitresses are very patient. She even let us have a sample of their meats just so we could decide which one to order. Excellent service and great food.

This place is wonderful! I don’t know cuban food too well, but everything they have here is so good. I remember having some type of mango pork (or lamb?) dish, that was to die for. It was so tasty! I am absolutely in LOVE with their chimichurri sauce. I can’t say I’m an expert, but it’s the best chimichurri I’ve ever tasted! I wish I could buy some by the bottle!
They also have tres leches cake which is amazing! I’d definitely recommend!

My wife took her employers (my Regional Director and 2 of Vice President’s) here for dinner and was completely embarrassed!!!
Contrary to their listing they do not serve any beer or wine… in fact, they serve no alcohol at all. On top on that they were out of 2 of the 4 appetizer options and only had 4 steaks left — claiming to have had a busy lunch crowd… no excuse!!! No Excuse… order correctly. What food they did have was alright, the fried plantains were like a hockey puck, but the sweet one’s were very good. the cuban sandwich was traditional but its hard to mess up a sandwich.
The final straw was they didn’t accept Amex, which was how the VP intended to pay.

Awesome!
Love this place
Consistently good and service is on point as well. Love the yellow rice, black beans, and magical green sauce. Have never been less than totally pleased.
It gets busy at lunch so set aside time
