Restaurant Owners:

Cubanitas is the kind of authentically ethnic place you might not expect to find in the heartland, but there it is, surprising and thriving because of its great food. For lunch, delight in Latin America’s heavyweight, the Cuban sandwich, loaded with two kinds of ham and thick slices of Swiss, then toasted. At dinner, begin with one of the city’s best mojitos and the house-made empanadas. Proceed to entrées such as the lechon asado (roasted pork) and the bistec (steak) with a side of yuca con mojo, the tropical equivalent of garlic-mashed potatoes.

Full bar. Serving lunch and dinner Mon–Sat. Late night Fri–Sat. Sat brunch 11 am–3 pm. Closed Sun.

"Cubanitas may be Milwaukee's only Cuban restaurant, but it fills the role very well. This is a unique experience to be savored."
