La Cubana Mexicana — Restaurant in Lighthouse Point

Driving south from Delray, we stumbled upon what turned out to be an absolutely incredible foodie find! Honestly, from the outside, the place looked closed and was missing clear signage, so we weren't expecting much. But taking a chance and pulling on the door revealed it was thankfully OPEN – and boy, are we glad it was!

Every single dish we ordered was perfection: the cheese & chorizo dip was a fantastic start, the kids devoured their chicken tacos, the asada torta (a delicious beef sandwich) was a stand out, and the asada burrito was equally outstanding. Seriously, everything hit the mark!

Beyond the amazing food, the service was exceptional. The owner personally took care of us, greeting everyone with genuine warmth and a smile, even recognizing regulars by name. Despite the unassuming exterior, there was a steady stream of happy diners, takeout orders, and delivery drivers.

Saving room for dessert paid off too! Although they didn't have a full slice of tres leches left, the owner generously brought out a "half piece" (which was still a great size!). It was pure perfection – the ideal balance of moistness without being soggy, and sweet without being cloying. A true "chef's kiss" moment!

We will absolutely be making the hour-long drive back just to dine here again. Don't let the exterior fool you – this place is a...

Wow, what an out of this world mexican spot!!! The outside is so plain you may miss it, only a small neon sign is visible above the door that says "tacos open". Do not be fooled folks, this is an amazing little restaurant with BIG flavor & portions. The Mrs & I had high expectations because of numerous reviews but were left speechless. We started with the chips & salsa, which were very good, & added their sauces which brought it to another level. The Mrs got the Birria C/ Queso y Consumé tacos (4) & the mexican street corn, I got the chorizo tacos (4). All the food was flavorful & very filling, we both walked out very satisfied for our mexican fix. Our experience was made better by our server, Shyla. I apologize if I did not spell her name correctly, I should have asked. She consistently checked on us to see if we needed anything & made sure we were enjoying our meal. Her personality was so bubbly & refreshing that we wound up having a nice conversation with her. I hope she stays there a while so others can have the same experience & we did. This place is on our list & we will be back, no if's, &'s or...

I'm sorry, hard to take good photos when I may or may not have been drooling. So happy to see this business grow from a little taco truck that used to be in our old apartment complex and move around all the time to a brick and mortar place. We absolutely love everything. The staff is always amazing, sweet friendly and it's great to see how well they work together. In the past we used to love getting the carne asada empanadas and today we had birria & cheese tacos with comsumé and carne asada tacos with both salsas. Unfortunately they didn't have my favorite horchata today but the watermelon and cucumber agua freca was sooo refreshing! And now has a special place in my heart.

Thank yall for the awesome service, delicious food and yall will be seeing us again very soon....
