Little Havana · Riverside
Baltimore Magazine's waterfront guide identifies Little Havana as a longstanding Cuban tavern along the promenade and calls out its Cubano sandwiches. The Key Highway patio and harbor-facing setting make the restaurant as useful for a relaxed drink as for a full meal. Its menu places Cuban flavors within a broader Latin American frame.
Cuba De Ayer Restaurant · Burtonsville
Baltimore Magazine's sandwich survey features the Sandwich Cubano at Cuba de Ayer, linking the Burtonsville restaurant directly to this category. The menu offers a fuller Cuban meal around that pressed sandwich, with the comfort and directness of a family-run dining room. Burtonsville sits at the outer edge of Baltimore's permitted metro radius.
Celia's Cuban Cuisine and Mojito Bar · Columbia
Celia's Cuban Cuisine and Mojito Bar opened in Columbia's Hickory Ridge Village Center in 2025. The dining room adds a Cuban restaurant to a neighborhood retail plaza, giving nearby residents a place to gather for a meal. Its operator described it as a small neighborhood restaurant with plans to stay in the center.
