A Little Taste of Home, Right in West Palm Beach

There’s something about Cuban food that just feels like a warm hug. Maybe it’s the slow-cooked meats, the perfectly seasoned black beans, or the way the aroma of garlic and citrus fills the air the moment you walk through our doors. Whatever it is, Cuban cuisine has a way of bringing people together — and that’s exactly what we’re all about at Don Ramon.

Our family has been serving up authentic Cuban fare for years, and we treat every guest like they’re part of la familia. Ready to see what we’ve got cooking? Let’s break down some of our most-loved menu items.

Starters That’ll Have You Hooked

You know what they say — first impressions matter. And our appetizers are designed to wake up your taste buds and get you ready for the main event.

Croquetas de Jamón

These golden, crispy little bites of ham heaven are a Cuban classic for a reason. Crunchy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and absolutely perfect with a squeeze of lime. Order extra. Trust us.

Empanadas

Whether you go for beef or chicken, our empanadas are flaky, flavorful, and gone in about three bites. They’re the kind of thing you order “just one” of and then immediately wish you’d gotten three.

Tostones & Maduros

Can’t decide between savory or sweet? Get both! Tostones (twice-fried green plantains) are crispy and salty, while maduros (sweet ripe plantains) are caramelized and tender. They’re the perfect sidekicks to just about anything on our menu.

Main Dishes Worth Writing Home About

Now we’re getting to the good stuff. Our entrées are where Cuban tradition really shines, and these are the dishes our regulars rave about over and over again.

Ropa Vieja

If you’ve never tried it, ropa vieja (which translates to “old clothes” — don’t worry, it tastes way better than it sounds!) is shredded beef slow-cooked in a rich tomato-based sauce with peppers and onions. It’s tender, savory, and pure comfort on a plate. Pair it with white rice and black beans, and you’ve got yourself a meal worth savoring.

Lechón Asado

Our roast pork is marinated in mojo — a zesty blend of citrus, garlic, and Cuban spices — then slow-roasted until it’s fall-apart tender. It’s the dish that puts the “fiesta” in any dinner.

Pollo a la Plancha

For something a little lighter (but no less flavorful), our grilled chicken is marinated to perfection and seared on the plancha. Simple, juicy, and seriously satisfying.

Bistec de Palomilla

A thinly sliced steak topped with sautéed onions, served with rice, beans, and plantains — this is Cuban comfort food at its finest. Want a deeper dive into our greatest hits?

Sandwiches: Cuban Classics, Done Right

Sometimes you want something handheld, hearty, and fast. That’s where our sandwiches come in.

• The Cuban Sandwich — Roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard pressed on Cuban bread until it’s golden and melty. It’s iconic for a reason.
• Medianoche — Same delicious fillings as the Cuban, but served on slightly sweeter egg bread. A late-night favorite (hence the name, which means “midnight”).
• Pan con Lechón — Just roast pork, onions, and Cuban bread. Sometimes simpler really is better.

Don’t Skip the Sides (or the Sweets!)

Our sides are the unsung heroes of the menu. Fluffy white rice, hearty black beans, moros y cristianos (rice and beans cooked together), yuca with mojo… we could go on. Mix and match to build your perfect plate.

And save room for dessert! Our flan is creamy, dreamy, and made the traditional way. Tres leches cake is soaked in three kinds of milk for that signature melt-in-your-mouth texture. And don’t even get us started on the guava and cheese pastelitos.

Daily Specials You Won’t Want to Miss

One of the best parts about being a neighborhood spot is being able to switch things up and surprise our guests. Our daily specials are a fan favorite — think slow-cooked oxtail stew, fresh seafood preparations, and seasonal twists on Cuban classics.

We recommend following along on our social media or just calling ahead to see what’s on the specials board. And if you’re new to Cuban cuisine, our staff is always happy to help you pick something that fits your taste. Whether you like things mild and savory or bold and zesty, we’ve got you covered.

Wash It All Down with a Cuban Coffee (or a Mojito!)

You haven’t really experienced Cuban culture until you’ve had a proper cafecito — that tiny but mighty shot of sweetened espresso that locals swear by. Want something a little more festive? Try one of our refreshing mojitos, made with fresh mint and a splash of Cuban soul.
