The food is amazing!! I would have given it 6 stars, but I only ordered 2 empanadas instead of six. I accidentally ate them too fast lol.

If you’re looking for somewhere new to try out make this your first stop! The owner Haylor walked us through everything the menu had to offer. Haylor was extremely hospitable and made this experience phenomenal. This is very authentic, amazing quality food for a fair price and large portions. It’s not just somewhere to grab lunch/dinner they also host events such as Jazz nights, Salsa nights, and classic 70s/80s as well. We will definitely be back! you will not be disappointed.

In Cuba, the cimarrones were brave enslaved people who escaped from colonial plantations in search of freedom.

At El Cimarrón Cuban Restaurant, this powerful history is at the heart of everything we do. Our name pays tribute to those courageous individuals whose fight for liberty shaped the soul of Cuban culture. Their resilience and spirit live on in the flavors, stories, and traditions we proudly share with our community.

Every dish we serve—from our tender lamb and brisket to our handmade empanadas and tamales—is a celebration of that legacy. We invite you to join us in honoring the past while savoring the vibrant tastes of Cuba today.
