Was Matt Koeser at Macubana a mag?
I order from this place several times a week, and I always get the same dish: the Hulk Mac with extra pesto. I think they try to accommodate me, but they don’t quite realize how obsessed I am with pesto. However, on July 25th, after asking enough times, they gave me a whole cup of pesto on the side, which was exactly what I wanted. Thank you—I love you! Sincerely, your neighborhood pesto enthusiast.

What Joe D dislikes about Macubana:
The experience was quite nice overall. The service was a bit sluggish during the lunch rush, though. The fried plantains were tasty for a small town in Iowa, but they couldn’t quite compare to what you’d find in a major city. On the plus side, the place was clean and had a friendly atmosphere. However, I felt the prices were slightly on the high side for the quality of the food. View all feedback.

The pull pork and chicken sandwich are delicious, and so is the mango smoothie.

Large drink menu. I felt like the food menu was limited. Several kinds of mac and cheese. Over all good experience.

Went here specifically for the vegan Cubano. It was good...but not great. Yucca fries were awesome (order without aoli. Good beer and booze selection.

An excellent location right on Welch with lots of activity. The food options are all very good and the drinks are pretty affordable. I've enjoyed it every time I've gone, the grilled cheese is a solid go too. My one issue with this restaurant is theservice is a little hectic and you may be missed or left waiting for a while once you seat yourself.

Mac and cheese is awesome. The gyro was okay and the fries were wonderful. Service was fair. They were out of a couple things I wanted. Nice little place.
