The food was outstanding- so tasty. I had the chicken rice bowl which was presented beautifully so colourful and quality fresh ingredients. Others in my group had the sandwiches. The service was very friendly and efficient. The staff looked relaxed and happy despite it being the lunchtime rush. Would absolutely recommend this place for lunch. We were only visiting Newcastle but hope to return and will be heading straingjt here for lunch again.

One of the best burritos I have had in a very long time! Everything was packed full of flavour, sauces were top tier, i had the pulled chicken and it some of the best chicken I’ve eaten in years. Moist, tender and it wasnt just 90% rice, the portions ratio of meat, rice and veg is generous. Everything you would want in a burrito. Could have easily eaten a second one. Will be coming again! I’m a bit of a posh twat when it comes to food, I struggle to find good food here since moving here and this was faultless. Extremely affordable! Friendly staff as well! Thank you! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It was our first time in Newcastle and we decided to drop around the market. The smell from the Cubanos place made us decide to get our meal from them. We didn't get it wrong. Their Cubano sandwich is amazing, just a little bit spicy and full of flavour. Incredible find!

Loved Cubanos! Had the black bean stew rice box and it was fantastic. Really fresh and the black bean stew was the best I've ever had.

Gem of a place in the Grainger Market. We got rice bowls each one beef and one chicken both with mild chilli sauce. Very tasty and we’d go hotter next time. We managed to get a table which are limited on a busy Saturday lunchtime. Service was quick and friendly and we’d definitely go back and try more off the menu.

Tried for lunch today after wanting to try for ages and it was amazing! I got the beef rice bowl and it was decent. The beef melted in the mouth with a slight saltiness. Next time I’m going to ask for extra guacamole as it was one of the best I’ve tried. Was hot and quick. 100% recommend!!

Had the beef burrito with jalopeno cream cheese sauce. Fantastic! 10/10. Was worried the cheese sauce was going to overpower everything but the taste was just right. Highly recommend

Great little Cuban street food kitchen in the corner of the Grainger Market. I had the Medianoche, slow cooked beef with cheese, pickled red onions, chargrilled peppers with feta crème sauce. Would definitely recommend trying, and if you like things a little bit hotter remember to ask for extra jalapeños

I tried the Cubanos pulled pork sandwich at Heaton festival and it was delicious! Slow cooked pork with a tinge of chipotle sauce. I’ll be checking this out for lunch in Grainger market!

Excellent food. Went for the Cubanos sandwich and partner had the Mojo chicken rice bowl. Plenty of filling, excellent flavours and super accommodating for dietary preferences/requirements, nice to not worry about gluten free options. Friendly and quick service and excellent, tasty food. Recommend.
