Havana 1957 Cuban Cuisine Pembroke Pines

After my experience I was trying to figure out how their ratings stay so high! One thought is that when I clicked on the link to leave a review from my receipt … it said I had already left a review? I suppose they knew a good review was not in their future but to block me from reviewing so their heads don’t know is alarming. So I’ll leave a review here. We walked in and sat outside at opening and quickly decided to go inside as it smelled like wet garbage that had been doused in bleach. But we were sure it had to be great. Once inside as they poured our water you could see large pieces of food on the obviously dirty glass. It was changed but then my lunch friend found salt on the brim of their glass. They also quickly apologized and changed it out. We still held out hope. The food came and

Came here for a girl’s night out for the first time and we had such a great time! Our waitress Laura was nothing short of amazing and really made our night. The service was exceptional and the food was so good! (Coming from a Cuban this is high praise!)

Located at one end of Pembroke Gardens, this Cuban restaurant has good vibes, good happy hour, and helpful staff. Came with my girl Terri E and about 15 other lovely ladies and the bar was more than capable to handle all of us.

Visited this restaurant based on reviews. The service was attentive and friendly. I had the fish with brown rice and salad. Hubby had the shrimp with brown rice and plantains. Both were very good, fresh ingredients and plated nicely. There was outdoor seating and live entertainment on Friday night. It was a pleasant experience and recommend this restaurant.

Pablo is definitely hands down the #1 waiter of this amazing place and the one that every other restaurant should have. He came to the rescue after noticing that we were waiting very long for no reason, he took over and ensure we had the best experience. I cannot stress enough how great his service was, on time and also how unique the food was. I definitely recommend anyone to come here, enjoy the Cuban roots and food, and ask for Pablo, he will make you will like home. 🤜🏼🤛🏼🇨🇺
