About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Great for outdoor dining
Nestled in the heart of the Mission District, Cubita is more than a rooftop bar—it’s a tribute to the mystery, rhythm, and richness of Cuba. Inspired by our fascination with the island’s culture, Cubita reinterprets tradition with an eye on the future.

From vintage décor and checkerboard floors to palm-fringed views and Afro-Cuban beats, the rooftop is a sensory journey. It’s a place of connection, where food, drink, art and music tell the stories of a vibrant people.
Whether you’re here for a quiet cocktail or a joyful celebration, Cubita is San Francisco’s rooftop tribute to Havana.

    Thank you for the years of great food and fun! My wife and I had our wedding reception at El Techo as it has always been one of our favorites. You will be very missed in the neighborhood and we look forward to what you do next!

    Great vibes and views but the questionable service (took long, forgot a drink order, and in a rush to close out the tab) made it less enjoyable and disappointing.

    Good environment as rooftop restaurant/ bar. Items come out quickly and the ambiance is typically lively, even on chilly San Francisco nights. Sad to see them leave!

    Great spot with excellent food. There are mice visibly running about, which while I get its on the roof - the workers seemed to know and not care at all. Kinda gross.

    Drinks are questionable. Ordered margaritas with tequila and mezcal, but they tasted like mocktails and had no heat at all. They are definitely scrimping on the booze. Would not order them again. Food is good. Service and atmosphere was great.

    Wasn't really sure what to expect when we got there. But everything from the elevator ride to the dessert was top-notch! They were busy, but the staff never missed a beat! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a rooftop experience with amazing food!

    Everything was cold. Chips were stale. Margs were decent. Service was very slow and lackluster. Bathroom was so dirty.
