The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (20 of 23). Value for money shows up in 17% of reviews as well, averaging 4.8. The split is 22 positive to 1 negative across 23 rated reviews.
On the health side, the most recent DBPR inspection returned a B (89/100) with 1 intermediate and 8 basic violations — middling, much like the reviews.

In a word...YUMMY!!! 😋😋😋

Great Cuban food, at a great price. They have, hot meals, sandwiches, chicharon, chorizo, empanadas, and more. The staff is friendly, professional, and helpful. The manager Danny, is a working manager. He greets customers, works in the kitchen, helps other staff, delivers meals, and clears tables. I have had Cuban food in Miami, Tampa, Key West, among many other places. Cubans on the Run, is as good as any. The restaurant is very clean. They also make their own hot sauce. Make sure you try the coffee. If you like Cuban food, and are in the Orlando, stop by for a true Cuban experience.

Tastiest Cuban food in the area and not that expensive
-
I loved the Cuban sandwich there, it was toasty, hot, and delicious. The rice and pork was ok. But the service was excellent and fast, with a very cozy and friendly emviroment.

Delious cuban sandwiches!
-
I am a cuban person and this is no cuban food restaurant.... I came from Miami a year ago but they would get destroyed if they would try to open a fake cubans on the run mini restaurant.. They have little girls and boys working here and I would never ever go to this restaurant again... And I recommend to the Puerto Rican and American people please do not eat here the food is bad you can get better at a gas station in Miami...

One of the best Cuban sandwiches I have ever had! Eat in or take it to go, but you must check this place out. Along with the sandwich, the areas and guava pastries are so good.

The new girl greeted us with such kindness and very attentive. The Atmosphere was with an employed singing a very vulgar song. Not Kool for a buisness. The food was not great empanada was cold and not tasty at all. The rice with beef stew and beans had no taste like Cuban food. The Cuban sandwich was eatable but ok, I tasted much better. Will not return. Cuban food go to ZaZa’s food is amazing and customer service and music is great.

Food great! Counter staff was friendly and welcoming.

Every time I visit Orlando I come here. Absolutely love them and have visited here for over 15 years since I was 11 years old. The whole time they’ve stayed true to their quality and service! Their beef empanadas are INCREDIBLE and my favorite sandwich is the Brenda’s Specialty Sandwich. All their other stuff is wonderful though, it’s just a matter of personal preference. It’s a small mom-n-pop place that deserves to stay open forever. They’ve been awesome to the community and consistently serving amazing food and service for as long as I can remember. Great prices for the amount of food too. Just keep in mind the lunch rushes get crazy (for a good reason) and parking is TIGHT even on a normal day. So during rush hour you may need to park along the side streets or neighboring parking lots since their space is small. Cubans FOREVER, please go and enjoy!!🔥

I cannot recommend Cubans on the Run enough! We have ordered from them about four times now for our animal hospital, and they consistently go above and beyond to accommodate our team’s orders.The order is always perfectly on time, which is essential for a busy practice, and the food is consistently delicious. We regularly order the ropa vieja, the pork, and the rice and beans—honestly, everything we have tried has been excellent. If you want great food and even better service, this is the place to be. The owners are incredibly attentive and always willing to accommodate our needs. I highly recommend them for both their delicious menu and their dedicated, caring team!
