In January 2014 we decided to take our passion for delicious, gourmet food to the streets of Ames, Iowa.

Macubana started as a small cart with this popular treat, our tempura mac attack. We combine traditional preparations with local ingredients to create a Latin fusion cuisine.
Great food, and also a great place to be funky, spontaneous and extremely wacky!! I threw my bread and didn't get told to leave (this happens a lot...) all in all reaaally good experience. scrumpy eats for sure!
First time dining in- really great food, and a fun chill atmosphere to chat with friends or get some work done. I got an iced americano with my Mac and it was also great!
This place is so much more than Mac and cheese! I had the buffalo chicken grilled cheese with a cup of tomato bisque and it was incredible. It tasted just like buffalo chicken should and the soup made a tasty dipping sauce...
ABSOLUTELY loved this place. Went on a Saturday night, was seated right away, had the nicest waitress AND loved my meal.I love Cafe B so I had high expectations checking out Macubana too. Met allllll the expectations. Had to give the Mac a try, I mean it is Macubana after all...
Macubana is now my favorite place to eat in Ames. Although I cannot speak on behalf of their drink selection or bar, the food is phenomenal. Combine that with an affordable price, and chill/modern atmosphere and you've got yourself a 5 star review. Very happy to have this in Ames.
