Notes: - Half the menu was in Cuban. - The Cuban rice was very flavorful. Lots of things happening inside your mouth as you chew. - The Cuban sandwiches were okay.

Pambiche is definitely worth the visit! It is a very nice neighborhood place with a knowledgeable staff who won't rush you. The menu has a lot of choices and it is very varied with Cuban dishes.

I love Pambiche for its delicious menu of Cuban favorites. The sandwiches are generous and hearty, and their desserts are top-notch. I love the empenada appetizers and the fried plantains.

I have had several different dishes in my 5 trips to Pambiche....all fantastic! Some favorites are the prawns, the drunken banana cake and the breakfast sandwiches. While there can be a wait, I feel it is worth it. If you don't want to wait, just plan your meal at a slightly off time. The servings are generous and the prices... more

yummy yummy yummy! don't be scared of the the fried plantains, they're filling and scrummy! go early in the evening though, cuz it fills up fast and there's no indoor waiting. and people aren't always super courteous about taking their party elsewhere when others are waiting in the freezing cold for a table :) more
