Good attentive service ( went at 3pm ) always asking if we needed anything. Drinks are delicious and well prepared. Food is DELICIOUS & rich. Loved the music being played as well . Coming again def!

Pina Martinelli

Making reservations in an advance is a MUST!!! The place is enormously busy on weekends and you may have to wait an hour to get a seat. Food is great! Be prepared for it to be NOISY .

Angel Felix

Great service. Didn't wait too long for the food. Server has good recommendation on drinks. Birds of paradise drink is a must!!! Good music and a nice ambiance.

Service was great! Just had appetizers that weren't too spectacular. Their signature mojito was the best I've ever tasted. Live music Wed to Sat! With great company you'll have a blast!

Best empanadas ! Goes well with a beautifully crafted mojito with fresh sugar cane .

Crisp mint with a fruity flare, try Havana Central's mojitos for a more "chilled" drinking endeavor.

Andrew Waring

Queso fundido and the Tres Empanadas are really good. The drinks are great to thanks to Wendy and Mike

Serious Eats

At $12, their Cubano is a tad pricy for a sandwich , but it's a big one (I couldn't finish mine in one sitting).

The empanadas were good overpriced half avacado and lobster app not worth it. However the passion fruit mojito was smooth and tasty

The bands on Sat night are pretty cool, but RUN before karaoke begins! The food is ok, not authentic Cuban , but if your local, it will suffice.

Carlos Rivera

Try the Mojitos ... Bet you can't have just one!

Rosemary Garcia

I've eaten at other Havana locations but this location was 2 thumbs down.It's understandable that there's no control over the time wait.But to wait over a hour and have cold food too,is a big no no.

Marlon

I'm not one to complain about portions but the drinks are way too pricey for their size. Skip them and just get food.

Daniella LaPegna

Amazing food ????

pescando de dia = much love!
