    Blueberry mojitos in the summer! Cuban Sandwich egg rolls and pork cubes are perfect especially on happy hour! Black Bean soup is also a good rainy day meal.

    Non-Smokers beware! I was here on 9/24/2017 around 6:30pm. There's a smoking area for cigars; however, the smoke wafts into the main dining area every time the swinging doors open.

    The lamb chops are the best I've ever had! And the portion was very large.

    The place had a great atmosphere and felt like we were in Cuba (at least what I think it would be like). The mojito and Taste of Havana were great but the place really made you smell like smoke :(

    Ropa vieja, cerdo, and the frijoles negros con arroz are all excellent. The flan was ok, but try a mojito.

    Go to Havana and get the flatbread pizza of the day. Doesn't matter what it is. It's always good. Last night: fried calamari on top of cheesy goodness. Yums.

    Women’s bathrooms are not up to par with the restaurant. Unclean, dimly lit, doors don’t shut and/or lock. Also waited 30 minutes for a drink tonight.
