The band is only too loud if you didn't expect it to start playing. Vaca Frita is excellent and the Ropa Vieja reminded me of my own grandmother. Come for solid Cuban food and a great atmosphere.

Eater

Some of the city 's best Cuban sandwiches , vaca frita (skirt steak fried to the texture of soft jerky ), and mojitos . Warning: Mojitos are strong, which is dangerous on Tuesdays when they're just $6. Read more

Perhaps the only New York restaurant that hands out free hand rolled cigars on the weekends, Guantanamera is famed for their plate of calamari in garlic sauce that is so rich it looks like cream. Read more

My wife and I hit the jackpot! Great food (try the Rabo Encedido), incredible band with dancing and awesome drinks. The owner, Mario, even made us feel welcome. Highly recommend!

Theodore Kim

Excellent Cuban sandwiches and large portions . The beans and rice , which come with many entrees, are a meal in themselves. I'm recommend the fried yucca , too.

Guantanamera

We'd say that just about everything under the roof of Guantanamera is made with the same sentiment as their hand-rolled cigars : “totalmente a mano y con mucho amor”...

Lisa G

The portions are huge! Some of the best Cuban food I've had, and I've been to Cuba. The live music is beyond fantastic, had a great time listening to Pedrito Martinez and his band.

Amelia Herrera

Guantanamera was amazing, we really great food, great seasoning, great amount and great price. The live music brought us to Cuba in minutes. Guantanamera is a really great choice.

Graham McGillivray

Sat at the bar for happy hour with half price cocktails (6-7pm @ $6) and tappas and had a ball. Band was ok, but a nice cruisey evening. Food was great and Amando the barman was terrific.

Anastasia Belozertseva

Great cuban cuisine . There is a live band pretty much every night over here. However, it's best if you finish eating before the band comes in because they make it hard to have a conversation.

Tasty Cuban foods (seafood and skirt steak ). Plenty of plantains . Very busy. Solid traditional mojito .

Meah B

Adorable Cuban hole in the wall with live music in the evenings. Come for the sangria and mango mojitos .

Wilson Zhou

2015-2016 Carnegie Hall Concert Season, 15% off food and beverages, and one complimentary house mojito with purchase of entrée for members.

Michael V

Chorizo , Cubano , caipirinha . The band is almost always too loud , sit downstairs if open. Make a res or spend your salary at the bar while it's "5 more minutes" for your table for 90 minutes or more.

Annie Quintana

Come for the food, stay for the mojitos and live music . One of the best Cuban spots in the city

Authentic Cuban Cuisine + Live Music + the Best Mojitos + Cigar roller = Weekend @ Guantanamera Restaurant ...

DLee

Get there before 8:30 to ensure you'll get seated. The live band comes on at 9 and is too loud to permit conversation (though enjoyable). $5 mojitos on Tuesdays. Try the coconut .

Carl Griffin

A few mojitos and Cuban music is pure heaven.

Victoria U.

Heart of the theatre district, well priced and delicious. Most nights have live music .

Wendy Kasten

The food was very good, price fair , and music was terrific. Contrary to what it says on this website, the mojito's are not free with dinner
