This is one of my favorite place for authentic Cuban food, is a fabulous combination between food, drinks and hospitality, specially by Francisco, my server.

First stop of our trip. Our server is Reynaud. As expected he has a thick accent that takes us NY'ers more concentration to understand but he did educate us on the menu and the most popular meals on it. It's located on the corner with more outdoor seating g than indoor. Everywhere you look inside there is something to see!! Lots of pictures and decor galore! Our meals were oh so good! Wife had the sampler and enjoyed the variety. The meats were tender and moist and full of authentic flavor. Plantains included with our meals were cooked just right and very sweet. We were full and very satisfied with the service and food here.

Very very impressive I have not experienced much Cuban food in my lifetime... this place didn't disappoint. We had wonderful service, sat outside. The ambiance was lovely... I very much enjoyed everything about my meal, so did both of my friends that came too. We sampled a bit of everything. I will say their guacamole was Legit!!! The pork chunks were outstanding. I also had amazing margaritas and other drinks. I would recommend for those that are not well versed in Cuban food... this is a great start.

This is a classic place for Cuban in South Beach and they really hit the mark when we went there for lunch. It's open and inviting, decorated nicely inside and out. We had a couple of really delicious cocktails, and even commented that they were what we had been looking for the day before at a less successful restaurant. The food was also really delicious, especially the Pollo Havana 1957, it was fall off the bone tender chicken, with delicious beans and rice. Our server was also friendly and everything came fast. Overall, a terrific visit.

This is a spot we tried while staying over night on our way to key west. Food and atmosphere were fabulous, everything felt very authentic. Kids loved it too

Great place and ambience! The Ropa Vieja and Cuban sandwich were delicious! The mojitos were especially good at this place. This is located in a busier area, so there's lots of music and people walking around. I highly recommend trying this place to get a feel of Miami food!

Eating on Espanola way you know what you are in for when you go and it's exactly why you are there, the atmosphere and people watching are second to none. To start I had the pollo 1957 which was excellent and the sauce was delicious. We also had to try the Cuban sandwich which was also delicious. The mojito was very good as well and their vodka pineapple. The restaurant was packed but the food and drinks came very quickly. It is a tourist spot but the food was good and the location was a lot of fun! I would come back again.

Great food and great environment. Ordered the sharable mojito which was refreshing and was about 5 drinks person. I ordered the famous chicken and it was so good. I wish I didn't live across the country. I've never had Cuban food like this. Service was quick. Didn't have reservations but was seated right away on a Friday night.

Absolutely phenomenal authentic Cuban food. We celebrated our 7th anniversary here. We dined outside and started off with drinks, their classic Cuban Mojitos. Our flavor of choice was the Guava & Passionfruit. We skipped appetizers and went straight for the entrees. We ordered Vaca Frita De Pollo aka Shredded Crispy Chicken and Ropa Vieja aka Flank Steak Stew. Hubby's Vaca Frita De Pollo consisted of crispy griddled chicken topped with onions and Cuban mojo (citrus onion sauce) served with white rice & black beans. My Ropa Vieja consisted of braised and shredded stewed in homemade criolla tomato sauce served with white rice and black beans. Whenever I visit a Cuban spot I have to get the Ropa Vieja. It's an automatic choice for me and I'm never disappointed. Havana's ropa vieja hit its mark and then some! The meat was tender, juicy and mouth watering delicious. Hubby enjoyed his food as well. We also ordered a side of Truffle Yucca Fries and Sweet Plantains. I just know they had someone's 95 year old abuelita in the kitchen whipping out our phenomenal dishes.
