Reviews describe Cuba Paisa as a lively, welcoming spot with a warm ambiance and frequent live music that enhances the celebratory vibe. The food earns praise for bold flavors and generous portions, with standouts like bandeja paisa, grilled chicken, ropa vieja, empanadas, and chorizo, and many diners note that portions are so ample that sharing is common. Service is repeatedly described as friendly and efficient, contributing to a positive dining experience. Several comments mention renovations and a bright, inviting atmosphere on weekends. Some criticisms appear, including that the space is a bit tight, dishes can vary in quality, and a few items such as tamal or croquetas may not meet expectations, with others feeling the Cuban representation could be stronger. Overall, Cuba Paisa is seen as a memorable Montreal stop for good food, large portions, and a festive Latin vibe, ideal for birthdays and gatherings, though visitors should expect a busy, lively environment and align expectations with menu highlights.

The food haven't bad testing, it was nice. However, & this is only my personal opinion, the tamal doesn't need to have the corn kernel because the cuban tamal is made with ground corn; it tasted very good though. The ropa vieja wasn't very tasty, frijoles were nice as well as the croquetas. & the reason why I give this score is because the music is very high even during the dinner hours, so you have to scream if you want to keep a conversation ongoing. It could be less louder since the place is small.

Walk into a culture of warm & inviting ambiance, where the food is excellent, service warm & entertainment that kicks a happy'what to get up & dance' vibe. Family oriented, live music, I would recommend this place for birthdays, family outing, or a nice evening with friends. Best to make reservations !!

Loved the paisa with the grilled steak. The mojito & margarita were excellent. Staff was very friendly & accommodating- especially for a large party to come in with very little notice. Music & atmosphere were very enjoyable.
