I just want to take a moment of your time to thank you for stopping by and checking out our restaurant. We’ve been around for over 25 years now. That’s saying something. But we also have some of the best Cuban-​style food in town (but I’m a little biased). :)

Ruben’s Cubans is a locally-​owned, family-​style restaurant, and always has been. We make every effort to give you the best food at a reasonable price. Every morning I am at the local food market picking up our ingredients for our sandwiches, our soups, our empanadas, and our deviled crabs. And our delicious Cuban bread gets delivered fresh before I even walk in the door.

Now I know that everyone always has their own idea of what «Cuban food» should be, but we do our best to give you something you will enjoy!

So come by and see us for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I’m usually there myself (and if not me, then one of my daughters), behind the counter or sitting with one of our many «regulars», so be sure to say hi.
