I recently visited to eat lunch and bad a decent experience. I ordered a cuban sandwich and it was really good. They did not cheap out with the meats or ingredients. My main complaint is that the customer service was average at best. When i walked in nobody was at the counter and when someone showed up it looked they were being bothered. Illl stop by again and give it another try. Price per person: $10–20 Food: 4 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 4

We visited Tu Cafeteria recently and unfortunately the experience felt uncomfortable from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere was not welcoming at all—it honestly felt like we were bothering the person working there. I understand this is a startup, but it didn’t seem prepared or ready to receive customers. The space is very small with limited seating, and the tables felt more like outdoor patio furniture than indoor dining. It was also very cold inside, with only a small portable heater that didn’t really help. We ordered two sandwiches—a Cuban and a ham and cheese. When we asked what comes on the sandwiches, the response was “whatever you want on it,” followed by “salad,” which was confusing. I assumed that meant lettuce and tomato, but for someone working in a cafeteria-style restaurant, the lack of clarity was surprising. The premade food (pastelitos) looked old and unappetizing. The overall vibe was extremely quiet and awkward, with no warmth or energy in the space. When our food was ready, it wasn’t brought to our table—the staff member stood in a doorway and expected us to grab it ourselves. I also asked for sparkling water and then regular water, and neither was available. Positives: The sandwiches themselves were good—warm and nicely pressed. The mayo/ketchup sauce, however, had way too much garlic (and I mean way too much). Overall, there’s potential here, but the customer service, preparedness, and atmosphere really need improvement to make this a place people want to return to.
