Timbiriche
& Cajitas Cubanas
“Platos” means main dish in Spanish. Cajitas are Cuban boxed meals. “Cajitas Cubanas” have become popular in Cuba since the fall of the Soviet Union, when the Cuban Government began to allow privately owned businesses to open up. Micro businesses known as timbiriche’s are typical little “hole-in-the-wall” establishments most commonly guised as take-out restaurants known for their “cajitas”. Navigating the Covid19 Pandemic has brought on many changes, eating out of boxes, business closures, government mandates, lines everywhere, empty shelves and shortages. Life in the pandemic reminds one of everyday life in communist Cuba. So whether you eat your Plato in our dining room or your Cajita in yours, Pambiche Timbiriche Cubana has your Cuban cravings covered! ¡Stay safe, stay healthy and Eat Cuban!
What Does Pambiche Mean?
Pambiche, a lingual bastardization of the words Palm Beach as pronounced by a native speaker of Cuban Spanish. Why Palm Beach? Palm Beach is not just a famous resort town in southeastern Florida, located on an island off the coast. Beyond that, the literal words "palm" "beach" conjure images of a tropical beach lined with swaying palm trees, a romantic island getaway, escaping the stresses of life, slowing down, kicking back, sharing a comfortable meal with a gentle breeze and the lively pulse of Cuban rhythms. So, when you can't get away for a Caribbean vacation you can at least get down to Pambiche for an authentic taste of Old Havana, sip on a mojito in our landmark patio, feel the rumba, son and cha-cha-cha and experience genuine Cuban hospitality!

Not like Miami?
We often hear the comment that Pambiche is not like the typical Cuban restaurants found throughout Southern Florida in communities such as Westchester, Hialeah or Miami. Sometimes the comment is made in disapointment and sometimes it’s inspirational. Regardless, the fact remains that Pambiche is not your typical Miami-Styled Cuban eatery, it was never our intention. Pambiche's purpose is to nourish our community with homemade Cuban food, utilizing fresh, quality ingredients and traditional Cuban recipes that have been in the Maribona Family since the days of Martí
