Customer Reviews
Delicious murals of old Cuba and an extensive menu of Cuban and some Spanish appetizers and entrees. Hits include a rich seafood paella, tostones stuffed with grilled shrimp, yucca con mojo, their congri (black beans and rice mixed) and sangria. This place has been there for years so I’m happy to see them doing well and featuring live Latin music every night after 8:30! Definitely fun date night.
What a wonderful find! The food and drinks are always delicious, and it was like a warm hug in this cold weather. The bar's atmosphere is truly fantastic. The waiters are friendly and attentive, and the bartender, Gonzalo, is very kind and welcoming. It's not my first time here, and the food and drinks are always delicious. The happy hour food and drinks are unbeatable, and I mean that in terms of quality. I highly recommend it. I left with a happy heart and a full stomach. I can't wait to go back!
We loved our dinner at Guantanamera’s! We had a drink at the bar before being seated, we had reservations and suggest making them, it filled up quickly as we were sitting there. The bartender was attentive and made a great mojito! The food was delicious, picadillo, pork with cumin spices, maduros, tostones, black beans, con gris - everything was excellent except the flan. It was very firm and dense and no caramel flavor. The atmosphere was loud and there wasnt even live music at the time! We loved this place.
We went on a Wednesday evening for my bday dinner. Service was great! Very friendly and welcoming. I ordered coconut mojito, which was everything I expected. As an appetizer we tried the shrimp plantain cup and it was soo deeelicious. My partner ordered breaded steak, I had the skirt steak with chimichrri sauce. We both had the white rice w/ black beans. Everything was amazing... Only one slight issue, my steak was a bit tough. It definitely could have been more tender. Price was reasonable. We also had the opportunity to see their live band. So for the price, it was well worth it. It was a great experience and we will definitely be going back in a Friday or Saturday evening as we were invited by the owner and one of the band players.
On a recommendation from a previous night at Dizzy's Jazz Club, my wife and I decided to give Guantanamera a try. We're thrilled that we did. We've been looking for a new "go to" place and we found it. The food and drinks were delicious. The service was great. The night manager, Cissa, was friendly and invited us to come back later for live music from 9-12. They had a great band with some room for dancing. We met Mario, the owner, and his son who were equally welcoming and checked in on the guests. We will definitely become regulars and can't wait to bring other friends along for this great experience.
