Great food, great prices, and great atmosphere. My husband and I ordered a Cuban sandwich with the green fries and coconut shrimp with black beans and rice. Both dishes were delicious, but, if you were to only order one, I would choose the Cuban with green fries. I also loved the free cucumber water!
I saw this place advertised on the news and originally wanted to stop in and try the new North Charleston location but they were closed on Sunday. So, I headed to the location downtown. As a starter I tried the chicken empanada. The inner portion was bland and the outer portion was fried perfectly. I ordered the pineapple coconut smoothie as my drink and it was delicious. My entree was the coconut chicken. Another fabulous dish full of flavor. The plantain were sweet and satisfying. Overall I enjoyed my meal and it's worth a stop in for Cuban cuisine with a twist! I also appreciated hearing Celia Cruz!
If you’re sitting there reading this review and you have yet to go, just know you are missing out. The goodness that is in this place. Dear lord. Never having Cuban food from a restaurant, this is amazing. The flavor combinations are breathtaking.
Visiting from Dallas TX, and it was our first time here! Love it! Food was really really good, very tasty, definitely would come again . Staff is very nice. You need to come here and give it a try. No regrets. 😋

Awesome cuban food. Plantains, churros, Tres leches cake, and cafe con leche amongst all their other amazing food were incredible. A/C wasnt working but felt like we were outside dining in Havana!
Awesome food. Friendly staff. Pork tacos, rice and beans were absolutely perfect. Prices were reasonable. We ate there two days in row.
The best Cuban sandwich I've ever had (and I've tried a lot)! Don't even get me started on the Green Fries loaded with cilantro, parmesan, diced pickles and some sort of Cuban crack green sauce that was DELICIOUS! I only ate half and am stuffed. I'll be back Cuban Gypsy Pantry! Thank you for bringing authentic Cuban cuisine!
Quaint and cozy Cuban eatery in the heart of Charleston a quick walk from king st and college of Charleston. We got the authentic Cuban and green fries.. yum omg yum. I had THOUGHT I’d had a Cuban before in the past we’ll I thought wrong until I came here! The food is authentic, they decor and music they play is also quintessential Cuban and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Paul worked the counter and was also the server he is very hard working upbeat and also has great attention to detail. The food was delicious, again get the green fries just do it ! They also do uber eats and take out. Ik if we lived here i would probably partake in that more than I should! I am excited to come back and try some of the other dishes. I highly recommend this establishment!!
This is the type of restaurant where after eating, you ask yourself, "why can't I cook like that?" This chef is an artist. Today I had the "tres leches" dessert, it was meant for the gods ❤. Humans are not worthy enough to indulge in this for $5. 5+ stars, very friendly staff. Absolutely would/will recommend. Delicious, the photo doesn't compare to the taste.
Authentic flavors and textures of Cuban food. As good as, if not better than, any I’ve had in Tampa. We’re only here for a few days and considering coming back again! What a great find.
