    The place is a bit on the 'scruffy' side but food was authentic and delicious. Try the signature BBQ pork dish. Cocktails were excellent and staff very friendly. Good sweet potato chips too.

    Virgin colada is delicious. The signature chicken dish is delicious although a touch sweet. The garlic sauce and hot sauce are delicious!!! Nice to sit outside

    Food is ok, good for sharing small plates with a group of friends. Good happy hour deals. When the kitchen closes they move the tables for live salsa type music and dancing 💃 a fun evening!

    The restaurant has slow service and the food is not exceptional, but the take away outside is amazing - slow cooked pork and rice and beans, delicious!

    I love this place. Great for before or after old & young Vic. Also great for jumping on the last train from Waterloo. Great fun with music, cocktails and South American food

    The chicken wings and pork are nice and good value for money. But don’t believe anything about the cocktails being good.

    Get the street food lunch Monday to Saturday. Six pounds for very high quality Cuban food.

    10 October: Drink here on Cuban Independence Day. Legend has it that Fidel Castro was once a shareholder in the bar. It was set up - and is still overseen - by Philip Oppenheim, a former MP & minister

    Good lunch menu in oversized portions. You can probably skip the desserts, but starters and mains are good.

    Fine in summer as there's a massive outside area but otherwise full of sweaty salsa dancers and not much space to enjoy a drink unless you're one of them.

    Try to book ahead - gets very busy. Happy hours at 5pm with good selection of cocktails... Although service is not the best, the food is good...

    The happy hour offer is super cheap 12 pounds for 2 jugs but very disappointing cocktails - I am not sure there was alcohol inside!

    The waitresses wanted to give me the table by the door with a coffeamachine on it, even if it was afternoon and a lot of tables. Then did not give me the meny, playing around with friends. I left.

    Portions were quite small and not really what we expected.Nice ambiance though - but I wouldn't recommend it for lunch.

    Not the nicest staff- queued for ages, got to the front and the guy took our order then told us it was 6:30 (on the dot) and no longer happy hour - a bit tight

    Probably the only rum bar in London that doesn't do ginger beer. Possibly the worst mojitos in London. Doesn't even serve lemonade - whaa??!

    Overpriced and chainy. Cool decor, handy location and decent cocktails though.

    The Plato cubana is a big plate of meaty funess. Mo-hee-tos are watery, opt for beer.
