We have been to Isla a few times now, and it's always great to see familiar places and faces. Vivian, owner of the Cubano, is wonderful and the food is great. My favorite is the Toston Sanwhich and my wife's is the Cuban pork Sanwhich. But we both LOVE the Hungarian potatoes!!! Her new location on Hildago St. is a... More

We visited Isla Mujueres recently and were told by a number of different people on the island that one of the best restaurants was Qubano. Since Cuban food has always been a favorite with us, we tried it. We found this to be one of the best Cuban restaurants we have ever eaten at. The food was beautifully prepared, the... More

Just when I thought Qubano couldn't get any better, it did. My wife and I hadn't been back to Isla for 2 years. When we went searching for Qubano we found that they had moved to a new, larger location, but still had the same excellent cuisine. We thought this until our food arrived and i tbecame clear that the... More

This place was great!! The Cuban sandwich was wonderful and authentic. The atmosphere felt very at home, and Vivian was the perfect host. Vivian made each drink by hand. The mojitos there are the best on the island. It is defiantly a must!

Went there yesterday for a late lunch/early dinner.. Ms Vivian is such a sweet lady with a northern attitude that we found quite refreshing. The Cuban sandwich was great and so was the cheeseburger with the goat cheese inside.. The Elena Russ was good also.. Very different. Can't wait to grab another Cuban before we head home. Hope to see... More

The toston sandwich and the watermelon water are the best thing I've ever put in my mouth. This is the best food on the island period. I've been coming to Isla for 20 years.

I have eaten Vivian's food many times when she had the smaller place and loved the experience. We went in the evening, and our Cuban sandwiches were horrible. I was told that someone else manages the kitchen with his cooks at night which may be the real issue. This place may be the equivalent of two different restaurants. However, we... More

Came here for dinner was pleasantly surprised by the menu. I used to live in Miami where Cuban food is king and there were some items there like the Elena Ruth and the cuban sandwich on there. Great drinks, Mojitios of course. Also had a nice sandwich where instead of bread fried plantains were used. Very innovative. I enjoyed my... More
