The original Kuba Kuba opened in the late 90’s in the heart of Richmond’s “Fan” neighborhood, serving Miami-infused authentic Cuban food. The atmosphere is relaxed, children are welcome, and the portions are generous. The restaurants are small, so arriving before you’re starving is smart. Menu items include pork, pasta, paella, and vegetarian options. Saving space for the incredible Tres Leches cake is a must.

Kuba Kuba was so well received in Richmond that a second restaurant was opened in Richmond’s “West End,” called Kuba Kuba Dos (403 N. Ridge Rd. Henrico).
