Beni’s Cubano Set To Open June 5 In East Cobb

EAST COBB, GA -- Beni’s Cubano, a modern eatery serving classic Cuban fare, is set to open its doors on Monday, June 5 at The Avenue East Cobb. Patch told you about the much-anticipated eatery last month as grand opening details were still being worked out.

Helmed by executive chef Cesar Velazquez, the restaurant's decor, complete with antique bicycle hanging overhead and colorfully painted antique shutters, will take diners into Havana's hey day. The eatery comes to East Cobb from the minds (and kitchens) of Southern Proper Hospitality, the team behind Tin Lizzy’s Cantina, The Big Ketch Saltwater Grill and other restaurants.

Menu highlights will include dishes such as Seafood criollo, a sautéed shrimp and mahi mahi dish in a Cuban-Creole sauce with sofrito. Also, Vaca frita, Velazquez’s creative new take on an old favorite made with crispy short rib, grilled onions and peppers, mojo and lime. And of course, the classic Cuban sandwich will be standard fare.

“At Beni’s Cubano, we want to transport you from the day-to-day and into a fun, festive atmosphere you’ll want to return to time and time again,” Southern Proper Hospitality partner John Piemonte said in a news release. “Just like our other restaurants, we are creating a sense of community, a super-comfortable place to kick back and enjoy a great meal and excellent beverages.”

Beni’s Cubano is located in The Avenue East Cobb at 4475 Roswell Road, Suite 1510. The eatery will be open for lunch and dinner daily at 11 a.m.
