“ Wow. I wasn’t expecting this and haven’t had anything so good in a while and I’ve had some good Cuban food in Florida-If you know you know. Like it caught me off guard how flavorful and good it was. I initially thought 40 was a lot but this was worth every Penny! And I would do it again! THIS PLACE WAS THE BOM.COM-VERY very good! Delicious. How many other ways can I say it? Lol I don’t know but Baybeh give this place a try. You will not regret it. I ordered to-go and picked up my food around 6pm. The weren’t super busy and the customer service was great. The atmosphere is very welcoming and comforting, like going to someone’s house that you know and the food..ahhh the food. I had a Vaca Frita plate (shredded beef with sauteed onions). It came with your choice of two sides. I chose Moro Rice(rice and beans) and sweet plantains. I also ordered a house salad, yucca fries and Empanada de Carne (beef empanadas) and I know I already mentioned it a few times but one more time.. it was fiya. Check out the pics of my order. (Descriptions included) ”
“ Amazing food!! Service was great and everyone was friendly. Nice and clean restaurant. We ordered the Cuban sandwich: AMAZING! The Sausage and pepper appetizer and it was wonderful! Sweet plantains were yummy and the kiddos ate three orders of them. Black beans were great. The only thing we didn’t like was white rice. But again, the meal was amazing from start to finish. Highly recommend y’all! ”
“ Havana Bar & Grille is a fantastic spot for authentic Cuban cuisine! I started with the croquetas appetizer, which were perfectly crispy on the outside and rich and creamy on the inside. For my entree, I had the Ropa Vieja with Moro and fried yuca. I originally wanted tostones—my favorite—but they were out that day. Luckily, the fried yuca was a delicious substitute, with a crispy exterior and soft, flavorful interior. Being from the Tampa Bay area, I grew up loving Cuban food, and I was thrilled to find a place like this in my neighborhood. The Ropa Vieja was incredible—tender, slow-cooked beef infused with rich, savory tomato sauce and vibrant spices, full of depth and just the right balance of sweetness and acidity. It tasted like comfort on a plate. I paired it with a mojito, which was refreshing and well-balanced. Beyond the great food, the staff is always welcoming, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The decor and Cuban music playing over the speakers add to the experience, making it feel like a little escape. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for an excellent Cuban meal! ”
“ Found this gem while in town. The service was great the owners daughter was such a sweetheart and the only one who spoke english. Family owned. Being that we were there on Valentines Day it took about 40 minutes for a call in order but it was worth it!! Support small businesses ”
“ To be fair.... service was good for a packed house and short on service. The atmosphere is what I expected. They had live music playing tonight. Now... the food... except for my mom's cooking, this Cuban food was outstanding. Very flavorful and I will be coming back just for the food!!! Wow!!! Also had a couple of mojitos; they were also pretty good. You want Cuban food around here...this is the place to go! ”
“ For starters, the service is outstanding! Our server, Yoan was extremely welcoming and very attentive to me and my family. Also, the food was incredible! Delicious and flavourful! My favorite plate was the Vaca Frita with Moro rice, yuca al mojo, and fried plantain. Definitely a hidden gem! ”
“ Wow! What fun! We had great food and a show! The atmosphere was nothing but festive. The decor of the restaurant was enchanting with pictures of classic cars from Cuba proudly displayed! The staff was attentive and friendly. The other clientele of the restaurant was also very exuberant and welcoming, making this a great place to visit on a Saturday night. The band was absolute joy and made the experience memorable and epic! Will return!!! ”
“ If you're looking for a hole in the wall, with really great food. This is the place. Place. I highly recommend it, we were in the area and decided to try something new. So Cuban it was. Glad we went in. It wasn't crowded on a Sunday. We decided to go with tapas instead of a regular meal. We ordered several tapas, empanadas, chorizo, chicken fried, fried yucca. All the food was really good. Well the service was a little slow, it's expected If you doing it a place that is giving out good food. Where we go back, yes we will ”
