Kuba Kuba Dos

As much as I love the original Kuba Kuba in the Fan, I prefer the larger dining room and plenty of parking at the Kuba Kuba Dos. Same great menu and friendly service. If this is your first visit, you should definitely try the Cuban Sandwich. It is the best in Richmond. I also really enjoyed the Empanadillas (with beef), it was delicious. I was disappointed with Braised Pork Shank. It was overpriced. The meat was very tender, but lacked flavor. My husband ordered the Roast Pork Omelet, it was filled with pork and the egg looked fluffy. He said the omelet would be perfect if they put some seasoning in the egg. If you are a coffee lover, I recommend a shot of Cortadito (espresso with a splash of steamed milk). Kuba Kuba has been an iconic restaurant in Richmond, you will have a wonderful time and delicious meal at either location.

A fun spot with a wonderful happy hour. Tall pour of Falcon Smash for cheap. I love their empanadillas as well (get the spinach ones!) Hard to go wrong here, but if you're more in town I would definitely head to the original Kuba Kuba over Dos as the vibes in the Fan are immaculate and really make you feel like you're in Cuba if just for a moment. This location just doesn't have the same kind of ambience, in exchange you get more seating and better parking.

Haven't been in RVA in about 5 years and heard there was a second Kuba Kuba open now. Figured I'd give it a try since I always loved the first restaurant in the fan. Just as good as the original flavor wise! A little slow to get the food out and there weren't many customers in the restaurant at the time, but wasn't in a hurry so not a big deal... Cool ambiance, our waitress was nice, the cafe con leche was good and the coconut risotto cakes + the pesto tomato jack melt were great! If I wasn't so full I would have tried the tres leches cake since it is so good, but took a pass this time. Not sure I'll go back since I'm closer to the original in the fan, but definitely recommend it to people in the West End if they're in the mood for some delicious Cuban food!
