Flaco's Cuban Bakery - Gainesville

The sandwiches and the tostada with cheese is SO DELICIOUS highly recommend. Also I love the Cuban Gator and Media Noche sandwiches :D

Really good food and good vibes nice seating area inside and out. Open super late and the food is amazing.

This is my favorite Cuban sandwich restaurant. However the last time I was there I ordered two sandwiches, got charged for two and only got one. I have left over 3 messages on the answering machine wanted a refund for the missing sandwich and it's been over two months now. Maybe this will get their attention?? I love this place and their food but that kind of customer service is a major turn off.

Flaco's has some of the best Cuban food in Gainesville, and it's one of the only restaurants downtown open really late at night. I stopped by around 10:30pm for a super late dinner, and they still had plenty of delicious food cooking and a line to the door. I tried the ropa arepas and the chicken plantain arepas, which were both cooked to perfection. The chicken plantain one had a unique sweetness to it. I also got the cheese pastry for dessert because a friend said I just had to try it. I liked it for sure, but I can't say that it really wowed me. It may have been sitting out a little bit. The only real negative thing I have to say is that it was a bit dirty with all the open tables having a little bit of old food left on them and the occasional fly, but it is summer in Florida. Overall, I think this place is worth a try. Thanks, Flaco's!

My husband and I ordered delivery from here for the first time and really enjoyed the food. We recommend the Cuban sandwich and Pulled Pork Bowl. The bowl included black beans, white rice and plantains.
