Cafeteria Yesenia

Hole in the wall that has the best cuban sandwiches! They are so delicious and the prices are affordable. I recommend the media noche sandwich and a café con leche. This place is worth trying out if you haven’t already.

Never knew this place exsisted. Drove past and saw those magic words, Cuban Sandwiches, and pulled over. Wow, are they good! Reasonably priced and big! Highly recommend!!!

They have really good food for the price. I like their Cuban sandwiches, Yesenia fries, and coffee. They are also very welcoming.

Very friendly and great atmosphere. It was slow when I was there. But it was great anyway. The Cubano is to die for. Many thanks

I stop by every morning for my Café con Leche and it’s always delicious! Service is Great and the owner Jose is always there making sure everything is going great. My favorite sandwich is Jibarito and I order it without garlic and onion and it is great. Highly recommend this place. It is also great if you are a college student and are looking for some place quiet to drink coffee or tea and do homework or study.

I honestly can’t get enough of those «Yesenia» fries with mayo and ketchup and crumbled cheese on top. The sandwiches are cool too but the fries accompany the sandwiches perfectly. Service is a little slow when they’re busy. They have a private lot for parking. Coffee was average.

Friggin AWESOME. The food and service were top notch. Great people, great Cuban food and a super cute place! We live far north but were at US Cellular for a race. If you are in the area, it’s a great little place –just a few miles from the stadium!

I must say this place is darn good!
I’ve been meaning to check this place out but since they close kind of early (5pm) wasn’t able to. Finally made my way today and it was worth the wait! I had the steak sandwich and was pretty meaty and good in size for the price. Yum!!! The café con leche was awesome, just the way I like it. I will be back to try the rest of their menu. Woohoo

Este lugar es para mi mi faborito es solo lo que yo puedo desir el sevisio los sanwiches el café las enpanadas los gibaritos los maduritos los tostones waw es buenisimo lis invito

Today was my first time trying Cuban food. OMG. so delicious. I forgot what the sandwich name was but it was perfection. The salsa, tostones, and fries were off the hook. The server was wonderful and polite. The cook brought my café con leche. Wonderful sweet people. I thought the spot was kinda romantic too. They even have Wi-​Fi. My new spot.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
My boyfriend and I had a steak jibarito and a steak, egg, and cheese sandwich. Both were amazing!
The jibarito is as legitimate as it gets. The plantains are seasoned perfectly with just the right amount of garlic, not greasy at all.
They did not skimp out on the steak, egg, and cheese sandwich either. It was a very hearty size.
Great café con leche and homemade salsa too. The staff was lovely and attentive. Free wifi. Lots of ppl coming in to pick up their carry out orders.
We’re making it our spot!

Wow, I just amaze, how this place serves great Cuban sandwiches, coffee great, nice place, to have a cup of coffee too, highly recommend

The Cuban Sandwich was excellent. I asked for a simple pan con lechon (roast pork sandwich) and it was fantastic. The pork is moist and flavorful. Don’t miss the empanadas especially the ropa vieja empanada. The ropa vieja is as authentic as it gets. As a bonus the staff (especially) the cook are friendly and efficient. By the way, I don’t know what is in their salsa but it is spicy and has a fresh almost citrus flavor. Wonderful

Pretty solid Cuban sandwich for sure. Not a big fan of the empanadas — they were okay, maybe even «good», but something was just off. I dunno, the fillings seemed very… chemistry-​set. I don’t really know how to explain it. Preservative-​laden?
I’d come back for the Cuban, and maybe try some other things. Nice staff, too.

I am from out of town working just a few blocks from this place. I would’ve never known that this place existed if it wasn’t for a couple guys on the crew that I am working with mentioned it to me one day. Now I go here for lunch almost daily. I always get the steak sandwich because its delicious, and have recently discovered their amazing french fries — so, so good. They give you a ton, too. Not sure what the sauce is that they give you with the sandwiches, but I would love to have some of it in my own fridge.
It’s unappealing from the outside and the «parking lot» is rough, but don’t let it fool you. The cook is very nice and always has a smile on his face, as does the waitress.
I wish they’d serve the food on a plate instead of a basket because the sandwiches take up the whole thing and don’t leave any space for sauce /​ketchup until you finish half of your sandwich.

super cheap, friendly and tasty food! Here’s the rundown:
Café con leche: LOVE LOVE LOVE (I asked for less sugar)
Tostones (fried plantains with garlic): very good. 6 large fried pieces that were crispy outside and chewy soft inside. Eat with the mango sauce!
Cuban sandwich: okay. I like the bread and how they press it so it’s crispy, but the meat inside was a bit dry.
Chicken empanada: not good, very dry shredded chicken, no sauce.
Veggie/​Cheese empanada: good! creamy gooey cheesy with green veggies.
Steak/​Egg sandwich: okay. meat was kind of off.
Will be back! :)

The fried plantain was so good. It was crisp outside and soft inside. I liked the cuban sandwich. Give it a try.

Love this place, the café con leche is so good and all the sandwiches are delicious. It’s a nice place to come and have your coffee and sandwich and chill. They have free wi-​fi just ask for the password…

Discovered this place through Unilocal and its definitly a hidden gem in New City. Great service, AMAZING café con leche, I gained about 5lbs on my first visit but it was well worth it!

I liked it here. A great place to just sit and relax for a while.
Café Con Leche — I don’t usually drink hot coffees, but it was good.
Cuban Sandwich — My guy got this and we both weren’t a big fan of it.
Steak Sandwich — I thought the seasoning on this was great, but wished the bread wasn’t as hard.
I’m not familiar with Cuban food, but would definitely come back to try the empanadas and jibaritos.

An oasis
Last Sunday morning was driving through this hood and wanted to have some breakfast. And even tough this is a cool hood, the more options the better. I had heard about this place that had recently open and decided to check it out.
We park in front and from the outside the building looks normal, but once inside it is a pretty cool place, simple but very well decorated. Few tables and even some small lounging chairs and coffee table.
We proceed to the counter and check out the menu. I tasted the Cuban, media noche and ham-​egg-​cheese sandwiches. All of them were good and the bread was perfectly toasted with good fillings inside. Not a huge coffee drinker here but my friends is and I had a couple of sips from his coffee and it was freshly ground and super flavorful. I had a hot cocoa and it was perfect. They have other drinks and sandwiches that I am looking forward to try next time I come here.
The service was great, literally. Owners came by a couple of times to check on us and make sure everything was perfect and even went out of their way to provide my table with hot peppers, yes hot peppers there is no complete meal without hot peppers LOL.
Cafeteria Yesenia, oasis in the middle of a desert of options
