We tried this place for the first time today and we will definitely be back! The Cuban sandwich is fantastic as are the chicken sandwich and the tacos. The empanadas we had as an appetizer were great as well. Topped it all off with a delicious not-too-sweet flan.

I liked the food, what more is there to say. I had the vegetarian plate which was beans and rice and three banana based foods none of which I had seen before. One was some kind of roasted banana, one was deep fried banana, and one was some kind of taco made of/with banana? Can't wait to come back and try some of their other foods! Also I like they're Pacifico beer.

I came here for brunch today. The shredded pork was amazingly good, very sweet and tender. The plantains were perfectly prepared. I tried one of the Cuban sodas as well and enjoyed it. The staff was super friendly and answered all of our questions about the food. Definitely check this place out!

Excellent food and a fantastic staff. Easily the best Cuban I've had outside of Florida, even though it didn't have salami (like a proper Cuban!) I jokingly complained about this to the owner and she promised to have some for me the next time I came in, which I hope will be soon.

loved the ropa vieja and sopa de platano. and of course had it with jupiña

There is a sign in the window stating the property is available and it was locked up. Very sad...

Authentic cuban food in Columbus. Possibly one of the best stops for delicious and comfort Cuban food around town. It’s cozy and relaxing with latin music playing is the background. The empanadas are crispy with a moist filling of chicken or ground beef. The ‘Plato con Lechón’ is my favorite. The Latin flavors are abundant and they surely satisfy the craving for authentic Cuban cuisine! The Cuban sandwich is indulging and satisfying. Will definitely come again.

Great customer service and food. Decent prices for the servings. Our waitress was friendly. Plantains are absolutely delicious. The empanadas are probably the best I've ever had. I'd come back just for those alone.

I was amazed to find a Cuban restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, and a really good one at that! We had plantain soup which was delicious! We had the Cuban sandwich, steak sandwich, a frita, and the roasted pork entree. The Cuban sandwich and roast pork were especially on point! We sat outside and it was a lovely Sunday afternoon. All in all, we had a fantastic visit to the Plantain Cafe and look forward to visiting again the next time we're in Columbus.

I was very impressed with this place. The food was AMAZING! Mouth-watering delicious. Favorite dishes were the plantain roll, shrimp tacos and the pan seared beef. The staff was very friendly. Fast service. Definitely recommend.

Most friendly staff ever!!

Small, quaint little place. Great food. Closest thing to Cuba this north of the border.

Great authentic Cuban food!

Good, authentic food.

Awesome Cuban!

The Lechon be dope!

Amazing. Cuban. Food!

Authentic food

The empanadas were amazing! Friendly waiter. Relaxed atmosphere.

Service was good. Food and flavor fell a little flat though. A little basic seasoning would go a long way. Sauce for the tostones seemed like watered down lime concentrate.

One of my favorite little spots...Cuban food...yum

Great food!

This place is awesome. Food is always great and truly Cuban (reminds me of being back in Cuba and floods back fond memories) with fantastic staff

Very friendly service with good food. I do wish the portions were a little larger for the price.

The Cuban Was EXCELLENT... the plantain chips we're thin, light and crisp!! Great service, great atmosphere!! 👍😉

Wonderful food & service

Service was in shambles. Good food though. Good luck

I ordered the chicken burrito bowl. It was so good!

Excellent food! Authentic taste, husband and wife team. Super friendly and pleasant environment. Went for dinner after a long day of activities. Empanadas and tostones were very good. My family had pulled pork (would recommend), fried chicken, Frita burger, chicken frisce.

Excellent Maduros

Good spot for tasty cuban food. This place has a cool feel to it. Reminds me of a place in New York I loved to visit.

Great food. Small place with outdoor patio. Waitress was very friendly and helpful.

Just okay, nothing special but filling.

I love this restaurant and the owners. Hoping that you both are safe.

Good restaurant specializing in Cuban cuisine. Cozy and friendly.

Delicious!

2nd time eating here...so yummy...great service.

Super fast service good food tyny spiced

Really nice waiter and atmosphere. Food's good, I like that it's minimalistic.

Love the veggie burrito bowl

An all-time favorite in Columbus. Different flavors, straightforward food, all done really well. Outstanding.

Great location, great Cuban sandwiches, and even though the cafe Cubanos aren't exactly what you'd get in a place like Miami, they're still very good. Definitely recommend.

Best empanadas ever!

Always good

Great food, great service

Ended up here after trying to go to the Tip Top, and glad we did. Service was great. Food was really good. We both ordered the burrito bowls and thought that they were wonderful. Out in about an hour at lunch time, recommended!

The food is amazing and authentic. Our server was the wife of the chef/ owner. She was (obviously) super knowledgeable about the menu and favorites. I loved it so much I took someone the week after! They have only a few tables but it never feels overly crowded or loud.

I ordered to go. Service was good. Food was delicious.
