1928 Cuban Bistro Fernandina Beach is more than a restaurant—it’s a tribute to family, heritage, and the rich flavors of Cuba. Named after Mario Alvarado, who was born in 1928, the bistro honors the journey of Mario and his wife, Purita, who fled Cuba in 1961 to escape communism. In the U.S., they found safety, opportunity, and the chance to build a new future. Their hard work and perseverance laid the foundation for their granddaughter, Rebecca Gonzalez, to create 1928 Cuban Bistro—a place where their legacy lives on.
Step inside, and you’ll instantly be transported. Vibrant colors, bold flavors, and the aroma of freshly brewed espresso set the stage for a truly immersive Cuban experience. Whether you're here for a quick “cafecito” and conversation or staying to enjoy a flaky pastry, classic Cuban sandwich, or refreshing batido, every dish is prepared with authenticity and heart.
With six locations and growing, 1928 Cuban Bistro continues to bring people together over great food and warm hospitality. Visit their website to find a location near you and experience a taste of Cuba, one delicious bite at a time.
