Surprisingly big dining area, very affordable prices and generous servings. True carribean cooling nested in a hidden corner of a strip mall. Most patrons were not latin but sure enjoyed the taste and the great pricing. Ask for a cortadito after your meal for a true Cuban experience!

She always has great food. I ordered congri, plantains and yucca for Thanksgiving picked up Wednesday at 4 . Food was ready. Heated up Thanksgiving so delicious. You can eat in during the week and Saturday small but cute and comfortable place to enjoy her good food. Servive is great too.
Great food, generous portions, friendly service. If you're looking foe atmosphere, this isn't the place. It's pretty generic. But the food and wide selection is worth it.
I ordered skirt steak with chimichurri and a beef empanada through Ubereats.
I have never had food from this restaurant, so thought the price point was a little high… that was until the food arrived and the portion was huge. The steak came with a lot of white rice, black beans, and a few plantains.
The food was SO GOOD! The steak had a good flavor, as did the chimichurri, and the sides too. The beef empanada was also delicious. I will definitely be ordering from here again.
I’m originally from Miami and have been going to Elena’s Cuban Cafe for years.. I absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for authentic Cuban food! They have all your traditional Cuban dishes like the infamous Cuban sandwich, croquetas, guava empanadas, batidos (milk shakes), espresso, cafe con leche, flan and ofcourse an array of traditional Cuban dinners. Come support this local business! I highly recommend them, you will not be disappointed!
I just got to say that you guys have to check out Elena’s cafe in Lakeland! Authentic food! Literally tasted like homemade straight out of my Cuban mother’s kitchen! Absolutely delicious!
And great costumer service, neat and clean location as well.
A delicious taste of Havana right here in Lakeland! Simple dining room with amazing food!
I walked in for the first time on a Tuesday right when they opened and there was a long line behind me waiting to be fed some good food. Service was great. Coffee is delicious. Highly recommend. 10/10
This restaurant has the best customer service and Latin food around! I’m Puerto Rican and the chicken and yellow rice is just like my mami’s! I appreciate them so much!
Awesome tasting food. Have not been let down on anything I’ve ordered. Recommend them 100%
I love this place. Friendly staff always makes sure my order is fulfilled correctly. Food is fresh and great.
First time here. Everything was delicious. Clean restaurant with very friendly staff! The stuffed yuca was amazing! Pressed cuban was so soft and flavorful. Will be back bery soon!!
This place is awesome I get the daily special every time I go and I've never been and for the price you just can't get any better
I was in Lakeland for the day working and stopped into Elena's Cuban Cafe. My favorite is a good Cuban sandwich, I could eat them all the time. So that's what I ordered.
When they brought the sandwich to the table, I noticed immediately that the bread was different. It was such an amazing sandwich. Everything was cooked perfectly without any of it being overcooked.
The next time I'm in Lakeland, I am going back to Elena's Cuban Cafe for another amazing Cuban sandwich.
Elena’s is always great…food, service, time. I ordered 20 individual lunches online, with names per order and they bagged each separately with names on them. Always a great experience!
