Ropa vieja that falls apart, pressed Cubanos, empanadas straight from the fryer, and café con leche the way abuela made it. Family-run, and voted Best of the Valley.

Nuestra Historia

A little corner of Havana on Glendale Ave.

Cubanitas Kitchen grew from a family recipe box into one of the West Valley's most-loved Cuban tables. What started small now welcomes a room full of regulars every day — the kind of place where the owners know your order and you leave feeling like you were fed at home.

The food is honest and traditional: slow-cooked ropa vieja, pork marinated in mojo, croquetas and empanadas fried to order, and Cuban coffee pulled strong. It's cooking with roots — and it earned Best of the Valley from PHX Magazine and a spot on Fox 10.
