Julie's Cuban Restaurant - Toronto

Mmm - Que rico! My husband and I usually have to drive an hour to get Cuban food where we live in Michigan (I'm Cuban myself). I must say, the food here

Alright, so it appears that with many eateries in any city, different people (myself included) end up experiencing varying levels of dining experience

Great food,price and atmosphere. Love the vibe . Everything tasted amazing! This place is a hidden gem, cannot believe it is not always packed.

This place was billed as having the best Mojito in Toronto so I was very excited to give it a whirl. Being new to the Toronto area I not only ventured into an unexpected real neighborhood but also a torrential downpour. Findings a parking spot was difficult enough but doing it under these conditions was even worse. Eventually I found one, then took me and my soaked clothing into the small restaurant.Our group of five had a variety of drinks and small plates that we shared. I found the Mojito to be decent but not great. The food was average at best and at a higher price point than I would have expected. Food aside the atmosphere was lively and made the night a fun experience. Service was spotty.

I have been going to Julie's Cuban restaurant for years - since they opened and it is always excellent. Food, atmosphere, staff and owners are great. Its a small, cozy place that takes you to Cuba without the flight.
