Customer Reviews
Cuba is an absolute gem. The food bursts with authentic flavor—perfectly seasoned ropa vieja, crisp tostones, and refreshing mojitos done right. The ambiance radiates Havana charm with vibrant décor and lively energy. Service is impeccable—attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming. An unforgettable dining experience from start to finish.
I was invited to a birthday dinner here. The service is impeccable! All the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. The drinks were good, and the food was good. I didn’t know it was a live band, which I know some people enjoy. I do not, since you cannot really hear the people you are with. But the music was good, so it’s just a matter of preference. The room we had was VERY tight, and we were literally elbow to elbow. It’s an intimate and cozy location, but I would recommend as an option for anyone who enjoys this type of atmosphere.
The food was excellent. Very well condimented and flavorfull. I had the Vaca frita which came with delicious black beans and white rice. The meat was tasty with a smoky grilled flavor. My wife had the lunch special with chicken/pork/beef/viande soup, also tasty. She then had the rice with chicken which was tomato based with pieces of sweet plantain, delicious. The passion fruit mojito was extra minty and refreshing. For desert we had the guava and cheese empanadas and the trio of ice cream. The mango and guava ice creams were quite good with a natural flavor and not too sugary. Would definitely recommend this place and come back.
the atmosphere is epic! the waiter is very friendly, and the food is so good. this is my first time trying tamale and i love it
Love the ambiance. The music was perfect volume and set the mood for a romantic date night. The staff was very friendly. They had great recommendations and came over as often as we needed. The food could have used a little bit more flavor but overall was good. Rum is not my favorite but it was nice to sample some. My husband enjoyed it more than I. The sangria was delicious. I would definitely come here again and bring some friends.
