Latino Cubana in Köln

In the restaurant you really feel like you are eating somewhere in Cuba. The service was extremely friendly and the food (sea bream) was very tasty. Totally okay in terms of price. Always my pleasure.

Absolute disaster. Were there on a Saturday around 5:30 p.m. with a reservation. Ordering the drinks was quick. In order to order food, we had to call the waiters (after 30 minutes of waiting to see if anyone would come or make eye contact with us). Then we had to wait 45 minutes for the food (burger, burrito - which was supposed to be quick). We probably would have had to wait longer if we hadn't asked. Even the waitress said "It's been a long time since you ordered, right?". And the store was only half full. In order to order new drinks, we had to call the waiters. Self-initiative of the servive forces = zero. The food arrived faulty. We also noticed that many guests were dissatisfied and had to wait forever. Some of them left without eating because it took too long for them. In addition, the food is really worth the price. Everything was only lukewarm, the fries were wobbly and cold, the sauce on the burger was regular ketchup... Way too overpriced for the quality and service.

The food was good, good service but when I went to pay I saw a mouse under the table next to me. This damaged everything else. I WILL NEVER GO AGAIN

Sorry. I ordered a hamburger. Arrived totally ice cold. Meat was rock hard. Coutails only asked for water. And that for the price. Had ordered a table and after 2 hours. We were asked to pay so that other guests could come. Where is something like that? Since I knew the previous owner for years, I never experienced anything like that.

Good food, cozy restaurant. Cuban style.

A really nice shop with very, very friendly and attentive staff. The seating is a bit too tight for me but that's a matter of taste. We only had cola and spritzer, so I can't say anything about the cocktails. I had a salad with chicken which unfortunately didn't make me very happy. Everything was fresh and crunchy, but unfortunately there was a lot of iceberg and corn. 3 pieces of cucumber, 3 mini pieces of fresh pineapple, 4 strips of chicken and unfortunately no dressing. Unfortunately I wouldn't come back for dinner. But if necessary for a cocktail.

I enjoy being there regularly. Food, service, price performance are great!

A really nice and authentic restaurant with delicious food. In addition, everyone is attentive and helpful.

When you go out to eat, you shouldn't be upset, just enjoy the food and have fun! Unfortunately, the exact opposite happened in this store - an unpleasant experience. Six of us were here last Saturday and had to wait about an hour and a half for the food. Even the drinks and cutlery arrived very slowly. Unfortunately the main course was only for two of us, so we had to cancel the rest at some point! The service was more than overwhelmed, rude and without manners! If you know in advance that you won't be able to serve a table, then you shouldn't do it! There was even trouble when paying! Furthermore, neither the management nor the waiters are Latin American, so you can say that the place is just a “pseudo Latino Cuban” restaurant. Our very simple conclusion: we will never come here again! A todos los que hablan español: símplemente deciros que no os aconsejo ir este Restaurante!

Very good, always happy!!! Raffael Wagenhoff Rpt1.de

A nice South American style bar/restaurant. We had a delicious meal and drank a beer or two. We'd love to come back.

Absolute recommendation. The food was great, the dessert and the cocktails too. The service was quick and very attentive.

The food was great as always, but unfortunately at some point it gets so loud that you feel like you have to shout at yourself to have a conversation… Otherwise I actually really like the atmosphere.👍

Ewigkeiten auf das Essen gewartet, als das Essen gebracht wurde waren keine Beilagen dabei, „weil die kurzfristig aus waren“. Auf Nachfrage hätte es normalerweise Ersatz gegeben, „aber heute war ja leider so viel los“, dass das nicht möglich war. Auf Teller, Besteck und vergessene Salate nochmals Ewigkeiten gewartet. Sanitäre Anlagen in desolatem Zustand. Keinerlei Einsehen oder Entgegenkommen, und Geschmack hat den schlechten Service leider in keiner Art und Weise wettgemacht.

My friends, the food was really great. Service and atmosphere was very pleasant and, above all, funny. Very happy again

Very well mixed cocktails, a nice atmosphere and the young Greek waiter Toni is super attentive and friendly! Keep it up!

I was passing through the city and went with my husband to see so much of (LATINO CUBANA). It is true that it is very well decorated, the food was good but the service was very delayed and the lady who served us forgot to take orders on several occasions. I was only able to have 1 beer in the 2 hours we were there because no worker was aware of whether we needed anything or not. Finally, I was totally ignored by a red-haired girl who served the drinks when, after having paid the bill and having waited a long time, my water did not arrive, she honestly treated me very badly. They definitely must train these workers better, with the client there must always be good treatment and charisma, as well as total concentration.

An absolute recommendation for us. The food was super tasty and really big portions. Very nice wait staff who gave us very good advice and were very attentive. It was well attended and we got our food after about 15 minutes! The Crema Catalana dessert was a dream. We will definitely come back on our next visit to Cologne. And the cocktails 🍹 are simply great!😊

We can only recommend this restaurant! The price-performance ratio with the ambience and the dishes were really good! The 4 of us were completely satisfied!!!

Great ambience - super nice service -

The food was ok, but nothing special and not really flavorful, I cook it better at home. The staff took some getting used to and was rather unfriendly. It was also very crowded and loud.

Amazing service, really really cool. Seldom seen such a top waiter...

Der ganze Laden ist vom Service und Zustand, wie die sanitäre Anlage im Keller- eine einzige Enttäuschung!!! Oder anders gesagt: " Mehr Schein als Sein" - nicht zu empfehlen !!!!

The restaurant had my two-star review, in which I described in detail the poor quality of my food, deleted from Google - because of "defamation". Apparently I'm not the only one who felt this way, see the comments here. If a restaurant does this, it should be a clear warning sign. I have lodged an objection with Google against the deletion.

I attended an event in this venue, though I have not tried the food but only drinks which were ok-ish, but I can say that the service was very rude, unwelcoming and it seemed we constantly just were in a wrong place. One waiter specifically was very bossy kicking us from one place to another and treating us like toddlers in kindergarten. With such service have no any interest or desire to order food or come back for which this low rating. UPDATE: I am lowering the review to 1* from original 2* because the venue accused me in defamation and requested Google to remove the review.

Great restaurant, delicious food and the service, despite the restaurant being full, was great. Waitress Nina rocks.

fast and friendly service, delicious food!

Advertising a lunch menu that doesn't exist. Overpriced, food nothing special.

Although we ordered the food together, a friend of ours didn't get his meal until we were finished and no one asked if he wanted something to drink. When I managed to order a 2 Coke it was slammed on our table and they had to pass it to me. Luckily we had enough cash with us because the card reader didn't work. It's a real shame that the service was so bad... we would have come again the next day. The food itself was good.

Very tasty food! Nice service and very good cocktails!! Tasty

The food was very tasty and the service was very friendly. The atmosphere is extremely pleasant

The service was great and the food was outstanding. We had ribs, wings, wedges and various dips.

We had lunch here during our break from IEM Cologne. Very nice and lovingly designed restaurant. The food is very, very tasty and the service was quick. We'll definitely be back.

Waited 1 hour and 15 minutes for my food and only 1 waitress

We have been there two years in a row now and can only report good things. The food is really incredibly delicious!

The food was super delicious, the quantity was more than enough, at least the option for two people was enough for three. Very very good! Good prices. Good attention.

With Cuban music in the background we enjoyed cocktails 🍸 and at very fair prices. The service was very good and always friendly

Nice place to have a drink. Extensive cocktail menu. Very friendly staff. The food was good, the only thing was the chicken in the salad was a little overcooked.

Great store. This time we sat outside. The food and cocktails are delicious. The meat from the cast iron pans is particularly recommended, and there is a delicious salad in an edible bowl, which also tastes delicious. The waiters were super nice and quick and joked. The atmosphere was great. Thank you very much 😊 We will be back.

Good for a quick lunch. Price/performance fits. Service good but a bit hectic.

We had a wonderful time as a family. Many thanks to the staff.

It used to be better, unfortunately it's no longer original Cuban. Should rename itself

We ordered a beer and a classic daiquiri. Plus a portion of guacamole. The daiquiri was just ice cream, no flavor. The portion of guacamole was small and not made with real fresh avocado. The price-performance ratio is not acceptable. I've been there many times and have usually been happy with the order. Unfortunately they have lowered the quality a lot.

Went with a friend and just had a few drinks at Latino. We got a nice table outside and were also in the "BLUE HOUR" where these cocktails are cheaper. I can't rate the food because we didn't eat anything. The service was super friendly and quick. Gladly again.

I ordered a typical Cuban dish, which in this case was Ropa Vieja. From what I understand, the dish usually consists of shredded meat with white rice and ripe plantain slices. But I got rice with beans, shredded meat that had no meat in it, just olives. The taste was not good and the dish cost €22 which was very expensive for literally three pounds of rice and a meatless meat tasting salad. Don't spend money on something that doesn't taste like the real thing.

Unfortunately, drinks were billed twice and some cocktails that we didn't order or drink were added to the bill. After a short discussion, we were able to get the 30 euros that we had mistakenly paid back. Otherwise the service was good.

Top location. Cool cocktails. Super Service. Unfortunately, the food we tried there was mediocre, but of course I can't speak for the entire menu. In general, the restaurant is recommended.

The place and the food are ok. The cocktails are actually good. What t is TERRIBLE is the service. Especially the waiter with beard and long hair, he was rude and arrogant, he actively decided to ignore us. We waited 30 minutes for our cocktails, the place was not even full.

Delicious food, great music, good service

We'll never come back!!! We have never had such a bad restaurant visit in Cologne as we did here and we can't understand all the positive reviews. Unfortunately, I am an allergy sufferer and cannot eat dishes containing tomatoes. So far this has never been a problem in my life, as the dishes at every restaurant could always be modified so that the tomatoes could simply be left out or the sauce could be replaced with an alternative. When I asked about the menu, no waitress could answer correctly which dishes had tomatoes and which didn't. In addition, no dish was modified, let alone simply offered to leave out the tomato. The reason was that the food was already prepared. Does that mean nothing is freshly prepared here? But let's get to the actual disaster... we waited 1.5 hours for our food and were then able to cancel our booked stay at the thermal spa. We sat there for 1.5 hours waiting for our dish. The waiters walked past us several times and literally ignored us. After 1.5 hours, we also sat there with empty drinks and nothing new was offered to us, and we complained. Here we were told that our Bonn had been lost. There was no apology or accommodation from the restaurant for this inconvenience, on the contrary, we were ignored for another 15 minutes. Our food came out cold and not even together, so my partner was halfway through eating by the time my food arrived. Unfortunately, the taste of the food was completely dry, cold and, for our taste, it was the worst Cuban we've ever been to. Even when checking out, there was no apology or accommodation from the restaurant. It's a shame that a date night can be ruined like that... We won't be coming back.

Unfortunately a very bad experience. 10min. sat, no one asks for a drink order yet. Ordered two cocktails. After another 15 minutes. A colleague comes and asks if everything is “still” okay. We still don't have a drink. "I'll take care of it immediately." Ordered food. Appetizer arrives. Still no drink. Appetizer started. Asked when the drink would come. Rude answer, no apology. Nothing. Just unfriendly. "Busy". (Many tables empty). Food canceled. Cocktails came and were quite ok. 150m further to Mexican. Extremely friendly, quick drinks, very busy. Communicated well and spent a long, lovely evening there. Next time straight to the Mexican.

Good flavor with a lot of sauce and no meat to be an old clothes nothing to see sorry 😞

Great cocktails and super nice staff. If we come back to Cologne, we'll do it again at any time. 😃

The food is a disaster! Tacos were swimming with grease from the cheese. The bowl was half iceberg lettuce cucumber dry rice. Hands off! The cocktail was just pure alcohol. We were very disappointed. And everything is very expensive.

The food was very tasty and the service was prompt and friendly. We sat outside today. The road is only very sporadically used. It was very comfortable. And both ordering and delivery were prompt. The spinach yoghurt cream is particularly recommended as a cold starter - if you like it with garlic😊 the main course came to the table sizzling and was really great. Only the table legs outside restricted the freedom of movement. We'll come back and take one of the tables with more freedom of movement for our feet!

There were six of us there and it was super tasty. The atmosphere is great and our service was super nice and attentive. Will be happy to come back!

Visited spontaneously in the late afternoon. Nice restaurant, especially in the back area. Nice service, food came quickly. Very tasty and attractively presented. There is an extract for the toilet.

Where to start... they call burrito to something you can't eat with your hands, bad closed, THAT'S NOT A BURRITO. We saw mice on the floor and the waitress didn't care, they said it was normal because "doors are open". Unbelievable. If you like latin food, or if you like hygiene you should not go to that place. Oh yeah, they also had a dungeon.

There were 3 mice in the restaurant and the waitress didn’t care at all. She said they come every day just because the front door is kept open. A friend ordered just rum, but got rum and cola and had to pay for it even if he noticed the waitress immediately. Also problems splitting the bill…but the food wasn’t bad! Thanks for mousing

Incredibly good atmosphere, very good restaurant. Above all, the service girls are great (Isa, Lina, Morgana and Jamila) Feel-good factor really good Happy to visit Cool address for Cologne residents and for those who are visiting here.

🇨🇺 We were in Cologne-Deutz on June 16, 2024 for Thirty Seconds to Mars and chose this restaurant for dinner. We were welcomed very friendly. It was very busy and we were offered a table that would be free for 90 minutes. We said there would be enough time and were shown to our table. The ambience and music were very authentic. We really enjoyed the food, the Cuban grill plate for two people and the mousse au chocolat.😋 The negative comment about a colleague about us wasn't great, and I didn't think it was nice when we were told after paying that they would be happy about a positive review.

The waitress is totally rude which is a shame for such a good restaurant. The waitress is completely rude, which is a shame for such a good restaurant.

Super Service! Super tasty, we’d love to come back!

Unfortunately the food was a disaster. We had to wait an extremely long time while all the guests who came after us and ordered before us received their food. The answer we ordered the wrong food, that's why it takes longer, is not necessarily a clever/customer-friendly answer. The food itself was also a disappointment. The tapas were very tasteless and bland. We had hoped for much more. Unfortunately not worth recommending.

The food was terrible, poorly cooked food, terrible service, we ordered an old ropa that is supposed to be the main dish and the meat was nowhere to be found, if the food had been good and in good condition I would have paid without a problem but the truth is expensive and of poor quality.

We have already cleared everything away so we no longer get what we already paid for and they are not allowed to serve crane water. Alternatively, we are offered still water, which we have to pay in cash. I wouldn't go to that store again. catastrophe

Reservation made online. Once we arrived, we were not on the list. We find a table, order an aperitif and the main course. 10 minutes later the dish arrived, we didn't have our aperitifs. 10 minutes for the dish we already know that it is not haute cuisine. We ask for our drinks which arrive at the end of the dish. 5 minutes pass another soft waitress brings the same aperitifs. Catastrophic.

It was more of an “emergency solution” because I was traveling in Deutz and wanted to eat something somewhere. So I walked along Constantinstrasse & the Latino Cubana seemed inviting to me😊 The service was very polite and courteous, I liked the atmosphere and even more so the food. I will definitely come back and then order something else from the diverse menu. Oh yes, the price of my bill was also completely ok!

Nice restaurant ..when the weather is good, it's better to sit and eat outside because you have more space. Otherwise, if you like it tight, it's good inside ..the food was good, but there was still room for improvement ..maybe also good for groups because you can sit in a vaulted cellar...plus a really good, attentive and nice staff...

It's really nice here - we will come again :)

Wie ihr sehen könnt Essen ist solide. Jedoch war ich heute unzufrieden mit dem Service in der Happy hour. Ich bezahle. Schau auf die Rechnung und alle 4 Cocktails wurden normal abgerechnet. Ich habe das angemerkt und würde dann mit der Rückgabe vom Geld für zwei Cocktails abgespeist. Bei der Nachfrage bekam ich die Antwort. Nein es waren nur zwei Cocktails in der Happy hour.. OK. Dann besser ein Foto von der Uhrzeit machen.. ne.. ist ja eh schon peinlich wenn ich zurück muss und mein Geld einfordern muss.. Geht gar nicht!

A mega store, great food!!!! Drinks great. Staff incredibly friendly I'd love to come back again and again!! Thanks Adrian

Everything perfect. Very cozy and great service. Thanks.

Very cozy and good atmosphere. The employees are very nice and helpful.

The food was amazing and I felt very comfortable there. The waitress asked several times if everything was okay.

The food was okay, the spare ribs weren't that flavorful and a little expensive. The service was nice, but there were mice running around.

Super delicious food, and that's the most important thing. Price performance fits. Service very friendly. The ambience is also ok. Everything you can do in the city with an outdoor area on the street has been done.

Unfortunately I can't understand the positive reviews. The food and the cocktails are simply a complete disappointment in terms of taste. The food was bland, not at all authentic and was more reminiscent of the supermarket or bakery. The cocktails were overpriced and tasted like nothing. There was also absolute chaos with many orders, both we and various neighbors received the wrong food or drinks or were forgotten. However, the service was very nice.

Food was very good; Staff mixed... funny, friendly and accommodating. The others... could use some more training.

We were there on May 13th. there. Really great food at good prices. Remarkably friendly service, attentive, quick and very service-oriented. Every now and then I asked whether it tasted good and whether everything was OK. That's how gastronomy works, absolute recommendation, we'll be happy to come back 😁

As always, a very tasty meal there before the concert. I would even give more stars for the service. Super nice and friendly, very attentive. We will come back in any case :-)

Great food. Friendly service. Good cocktails. Highly recommended!

The food was good, the atmosphere was great. Unfortunately there was a long wait but the store was very busy so that was foreseeable. Would visit again when I'm visiting if I think about it.

Thank you for the great evening

A great restaurant. It always tastes good. Portions are sufficient. Really good restaurant.

Absolute recommendation. The food was very good and large portions. Very nice service and the live music really set the mood. It was full and the wait was reasonable. We were advised while eating. I would come again on my next visit to Cologne.

Delicious food, great ambience! Pleasant outdoor area to sit.

Very tasty food. We had the Las Cuba blinds. The chicken was very tender and juicy. Due to an evening event in the Cologne Arena, there were a lot of visitors in the afternoon. There was a shortage of staff at the beginning, but within an hour 6 service staff were on site. Rarely have we seen such a spontaneous deployment of service staff.

Very good food, nice service, unfortunately some problems with replenishing drinks, should ask more often. Otherwise great, would be happy again at any time.

Really nice, super friendly staff, super tasty

I've been to Latino Cubana quite often. The food has always been okay, but unfortunately the service is becoming increasingly poor. There was enough staff on my last visit, but glasses remain empty for a long time and as a guest you have to actively ask for a waitress so that you can order something. This didn't just affect our table, but the glasses at almost all tables were often empty. This is bad from both the guest's and the restaurateur's perspective.

Sehr lecker und die Atmosphäre find ich toll, das Licht ist nicht so hell. Sehr nettes Personal,mit einem klaren Interesse an maximalen Service .Wir kommen wieder

My last negative review brought in a lawyer? What kind of nonsense is that?

A very nice and good restaurant The service class

Very good food in a Cuban atmosphere with very friendly and competent staff! Gladly again and again! 😊

Very nice restaurant with a special flair. The waitresses were all very nice, attentive and charming. Some of the tables are a bit tight. But it's definitely worth a visit!

A really pleasant restaurant with great food. The food matches the atmosphere and is reasonably priced. Portions are also sufficient and generous in the 2 person versions for home. The staff is extremely courteous and charming. Of particular note was the homemade cake - it was nothing short of spectacular. The only thing that is a bit impractical is the narrow arrangement of the tables. But I would come back at any time!

The food was great and the waitresses were super nice. They explained the Cuban specialties to us really well and they were also really tasty 😋. Strong recommendation. Very cool.

The ambience and the service really weren't bad, although the relatively loud live music didn't really appeal to me (!!). The food, in my case vegetarian options, was bland and gave me the impression that people were carefully considering how little was possible, even in terms of quality. My burrito was e.g. B. only very sparsely filled, rolled or folded without any effort and the tortilla itself gave the impression that it had landed on my plate straight from the package. To be fair, it was a very busy evening. Regardless of this, I was left with the impression that it was more about offering a reasonably acceptable and generally tolerable range of dishes than celebrating a cuisine.

Cocktails are extra delicious. There is also a blue hour. Particularly worthy of mention is the attentive service.
