Lively Cuban-leaning spot near Waterloo with fun cocktails, solid slow-cooked standards, and frequent service delays; good value on happy hour, mixed value on steaks.
Cubana delivers solid neighborhood dining with strong slow-cooked Cuban staples and appealing location near Waterloo with street-level charm, but quality variation on sides and drinks alongside uneven service during busy shifts keeps it from reaching higher territory. The lively pre-theatre scene and happy-hour value make it worth visiting, though expect occasional friction on execution.
One caveat: Service delays for drinks and payment are common at busy times
