First time here, came with my Mom, she had a lechon sandwich and I had steak empanizado which was amazing! We shared an order of tostones de pollo, the chicken was juicy and tender. Also the hot sauce on the tables is really good, just a little kick. The guava and cheese pastries and empanadas are good too. Everything seemed fresh and everything had flavor, nothing is over seasoned everything is just right. Super friendly staff, very clean, reasonable prices

The Lechon Asado was both very delicious and at an extremely affordable price for the portion they provided. The sampler platter had a bit of everything, and it's definitely worth ordering. The staff were very welcoming and informative. I also recommend having a piece of flan before leaving. There aren't many Cuban restaurants in the Sacramento region that I know of, so I'm very happy to have found this place.

New to Sacramento, but always live trying new Cuban restaurants. This place is seriously amazing. The food is VERY authentic. I tried several plates and everything I ate was very tasty. I would say it's the best Caribbean restaurant I've eaten at in the Sacramento area. Will definitely go back there soon. Highly recommend.

This place rocks! Small, quaint. The owner was very personable and funny. The food was delicious! We each had the lechon asado, picadillo, ropa vieja, and pollo empanizado. The rice and beans were awesome! We had the platanos maduros and tostones and no complaints. To finish it off, we had a cafe con leche and flan. Very satisfying. Not too sure if there are more Cuban restaurants in the area, but you won't go wrong with this joint and it's great to support local small businesses. Oh, ask for the batido de guanabana

I wanted a quick snack while exploring the stores on Watt so I ordered croquetas and papa rellenos to go and they were ready fast. OMG the croquetas were hot, crispy and so delicious I've never had anything like the taste and texture I can't wait to eat them again and try more from the menu! And you can't go wrong with mashed potato and beef spheres of fried crispy perfection! I Love being able to visit Cuba from my backyard thank you for existing Sol Cubano!

This is a great little spot, perfect for lunch! My first time here I had to try the Cubano that I’ve heard so much about and it did not disappoint! The bread was crispy and buttery on the outside but soft in middle, the pork/ham was delicious with some fresh pickles that provided a good snap with each bite.
