Ricky's Cuban Cafe, tucked away at 5249 Ehrlich Rd in Greater Northdale, FL, is a delightful culinary gem that delights patrons with its authentic Cuban fare. Reviews consistently praise the restaurant's vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff, creating a welcoming dining experience that feels like home. Diners rave about the Yucca and the Cuban sandwiches, both heralded for their rich flavors and quality. Notably, the breakfast options stand out, with many recommending the breakfast sandwiches and the celebrated Cafe Con Leche, reputed to be the best in town. Megan Ramos highlights the grilled steak sandwich and Ropa Vieja with yellow rice and platanos as must-tries, reflecting the eatery's commitment to seasoning and authenticity. Joshua Swart sums it up perfectly, noting the excellent service and patience of the staff while he and his friends decided on their meals. The cozy, "hole-in-the-wall" vibe—complete with outside seating—adds to its charm, as Juan Cruz describes.

With prompt service and food served piping hot, Ricky's Cuban Cafe is truly a spot worth revisiting for anyone craving genuine Cuban cuisine.

Excellent food. Yucca was really good. We had Cuban sandwiches, those were excellent. Friendly staff, they were patient as we decided what to get. Highly recommend!

Why 5 stars? Food was great, bkfast and lunch. Service was prompt, food arrived hot smelling delicious and it is small but also had outside seating, small but covered. So it's what someone might call a hole in the wall but was I will go again for a quick bite.

Amazing Latin spot! Breakfast or lunch, you can’t go wrong! The food is delicious and seasoned to perfection, my boys and husband LOVE the breakfast sandwiches & my favorite is the grilled steak sandwich and the Ropa Vieja with yellow rice and platanos! The Cafe Con Leche is the best in town!

My goodness! What a great experience finding this place all the way from Virginia. We've been to quite a few Cuban restaurants in the area, but the flavors and the food here was above them all. Great menu and the service was awesome. Thanks to Julie, Tony, and Dagne for making this experience a memorable one. We'll definitely be back for more. I totally recommend this place.

Wow! Wonderful cafe. The people are so nice and willing to work with you. Food was amazing. Made my soul happy just as much as it did taste delicious! Taste home cooked like a warm blanket on a cold day. Not enough good things to say! We tried the ground beef and the shredded beef. Next I'm going for the Cuban sandwich. There's just so many places that do them right here that's not where I wanted to start. We will definitely frequent this spot! Great find worth the price
