All the workers were very polite. I had an Oxtail plate, served with a choice of rice and beans. I opted for White Rice and Black Beans. Since I was dining in, I was offered a small salad and a cup of chicken soup. It was a hot day, so I had a Passionfruit Slushy. The Oxtail was very tasty and the rice and beans were flavorful. The portion was sizeable. You get a great value for the price. I would definitely return, because there are many other dishes that I would like to try. It would also be great for a grab and go dinner. Very affordable, and you will be full and happy.

I had made reservations 2 weeks ago to come see a World Cup Match , as i have done in many cultural places with Amazing experiences . Up till tonight . I was given a make shift table cramped up the bar and in front of a crowded line waiting to be seated . These ppl literally were hovering over me for most of my meal if not leaning on my table . The wait staff barely had space to move around the table so my head was elbowed , chair kicked multiple times by the waiters . The food was 5-6/10 . We ordered Churrasco in a salad bowl . I requested my meat medium rare . Surveying the room , i already knew at this capacity it was a huge ask to get it right . Sure enough , i barely touched my meal . We ordered similar dish but with shrimp 6/10 . Our appetizer was guacamole with plantain chips . The portion served was small . i didn't bother to ask for dessert . I had been to other restuarant for watch parties where the managers knew when to curtail the flow of patrons . For the enjoyment and safety of the people in the dining area . Something for this place to consider .

Visited La Havana 59 for an early Mother's Day dinner because Rumba Cubana was super packed. The…read moreparking lot was pretty full, but there was no wait for a table. All the menus are tablets, and you can switch between English and Spanish. Frustratingly, there was no Cuban sandwich available on the dinner menu. We got an appetizer sampler to start. Most of it was fried foods, so it was decent. For an entree, I got the fish filet in garlic sauce. The fish was tender and the sauce was flavorful. I also tried the oxtail. Some of them were tender and other pieces were quite chewy. To finish the meal, I ordered a cortadito but got a cortado instead. You'd think a Cuban restaurant would know the difference.

For Mother's Day my mom wanted to eat at a Cuban restaurant. The one she chose had a 1+ hour wait…read moreso we decided to give La Havana 59 a try. The parking lot was packed so I expected there to be a wait but was pleasantly surprised when our party of 5 (plus a baby!) was seated right away. The place is lively and a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. There's a stage/dance floor in the middle so I can imagine it can turn kind of clubby later in the night. Interestingly, the menus are all tablets and while really cool at first, it got annoying when a couple of our menus started to glitch. High tech but also leaves more room for failure. The service was friendly though and decently quick. We ordered a few appetizers and they came out in a reasonable amount of time. We got a sampler, croquettas, and a tamal. Everything tasted great so I had high hopes for our entrees. I went with the Mother's Day Special Relleno (stuffed) Salmon. It was a little overcooked but still really tasty. I believe it was stuffed with some crab meat and cheese. I also really liked the sauce that covered it. My dad got oxtail and it was seasoned very well but the oxtail pieces were cooked inconsistently. Some were soft and came off the bone very easily while others were tough to the point I had to use my hands to gnaw the meat off the bone. Everyone else's dishes were pretty good too. All in all La Havana 59 seems like a solid Cuban spot. I'd come back.

We had a reservation and got our seats quickly. We went to see the World Cup final and unfortunately there was only one large screen on the lawn area in front and we weren't able to see it well from our table. A DJ was playing as well so we were unable to hear the game. The music how we was great and he played Latin music - both new and old. Great playlist. To start the drinks were all great although a bit on the sweet side. It was rather busy so drink took a minute and water was also not refilled as quickly as I would have liked. Food was amazing! Everyone loved their dishes. The oxtail was amazing and super tender and flavorful. The white rice with maduros eeew great and the side of black beans. The flan was such a beautiful presentation. There was vanilla ice cream and some cream on top. The cream was a bit sweet so I didn't love that part but the flan itself was great. The only downside was how full I felt after the dinner. Would definitely return to try some more dishes.

An $11.50 tip was already included on my $93 bill, yet the itemized receipt showing that charge was wrapped around my credit card, while the signature copy with only the total was placed on top. That presentation feels intentional and misleading. Most people would sign without double-checking the tucked receipt and could easily tip twice. If gratuity is being added, even for a party of one, say it clearly. Transparency matters. Great food doesn't excuse shady billing practices.
