Sunday Brunch - 3:21 PM Ambiance: We were greeted by a pleasant host who thoughtfully seated us based on our preferences and made sure we weren't placed near a speaker. That attention to detail was appreciated. The crowd was mature and respectful, creating a comfortable atmosphere. The music selection offered a nice variety and complemented the brunch experience well. Service: Our waiter was friendly and attentive. When I requested lemon and an additional brunch menu so my husband and I could each review the options, I learned that only one menu was provided for the table. Since I tend to take my time deciding what to order, having a second menu would have made the process much easier and more enjoyable for both of us. I asked for the menu and lemon he said he would come back and he NEVER did.. we had to ask for it twice . And at the time of ordering our meals it's then when they beamy us the lemons to squeeze into our glass of water. Food: I had the chicken and waffles . Nothing difficult to put together. However if you are going to state on your menu that it's chicharrón de pollo was bland no taste I had to ask for lime to give it some salty mess to it. My husband steak and eggs which came with rice. Steak was chewy he said it was ok nothing to brag. Over all I will give this place a 6 out of 10 read more

I can't say I've ever been to a Cuban restaurant before, but this cafe in the Bronx introduced me properly! It was my first night in the Bronx and we feasted on dishes that I can't remember the name of, but boy do I remember the Cubano sandwich. It was well cooked and had that traditional mustard taste. It was karaoke night and I'd like to believe I blessed my trip with success by singing a song for a cafe full of strangers! read more

We ate here for the first time with our cousin who lives in the Bronx. The service was ok! They were on top of making sure water glasses were kept full, but it took them a bit of time to come check on us after we got our food. I ordered the salmon dish with fingerling potatoes and sautéed spinach. I added a Thai chili sauce on the side because I don't like coconut sauce. The fish was perfect but the sautéed spinach was extremely salty! The potatoes were luke warm. I also ordered a side of maduros, but they were cold, too. My husband ordred the shrimp enchilados which came with rice, black beans and two pieces of maduros, that were cold as well. Our cousin ordred the shrimp mufungo appetiter as his meal and enjoyed it. There was a DJ who played great old-school hip hop. He was really good! The restaurant was pretty busy for a Thursday night. read more

Always a favorite. I go to this location at least a few times a year. A couple of friends and I decided to get a couple of drinks for Super Bowl Sunday. A couple of drinks turned into a few. The DJ is always a vibe, the bartenders were the bomb and the food was good. I ordered 3 rum punches, tostones and the vegan quesadilla. My friends ordered the Palomilla, white rice and black beans, one had 4 coconut mojitos, my other friend had 3 rum punches and then we finished off with lemon drop shots. read more

Went today for my girlfriend's birthday brunch. The DJ was awesome, he played a little of everything and it was the best! Had everyone dancing and singing in their seats. The pre fixe brunch menu was perfect: had the pastelon for appetizer, the churrasco w/scrambled eggs and for the drink: the passion fruit sangria which you have to get!!! The meal was great too! read more

Came back here again just tonight along with 2 friends (there first time ) and my wife who is more of a regular . Our waitress was Karen . She was excellent in every way possible. I had an incident with the salt shaker and the way it was handled is why the management and the staff here deserve all the success they have achieved. The food is consistently good which is extremely difficult to do in any restaurant. All the staff that touched our tables were , "service with a smile " . The drinks here are consistently good and well balanced . You would be surprised how many places wanna skim on the alcohol like people won't notice . The ambiance is always lively and the energy is contagious. It can be a bit too loud for some depending on where you're seated but many of the locals and regulars come for exactly that . The DJs here are always friendly and really know what they're doing . The bathroom is always clean. They just check all the boxes for me and there's a reason why so many people frequent this place even when there is so much competition. Uptown baby , Uptown baby ! they gets down baby , for the crown baby !!!! read more

On Friday May 22, I chose to go out with my best friend to eat at Havana. I frequently establish this restaurant. I'm highly upset with how the waiter treated my friend and I. He was rude and impatient. At one point he even told us the kitchen was going to close. Mind you it was rush hour. We had ordered appetizers, drinks and a main course. I even ordered food to go. I've been there enough to know that he was lying. I personally felt that he didn't like us from the moment we sat down. This is a business and you should treat your clientele professionally. This was my first negative experience at Havana. My friends and family were astonished to hear how my friend and I were treated. The food is really great at Havana and I truly hope that Leo does better going forward. The ambience was awful because the server made us extremely uncomfortable. He ruined the experience for my friend and I. I was afraid to complain to the manager for fear of reprisal. read more

I baptized my God Kids today and came here after for a lunch celebration. We went to Made in Puerto Rico and couldn't be accommodated because we didn't have a reservation. Mind you the place was empty on a rainy day. Dime??? I also noticed the Brunch Menu was super limited. We headed on over to Havana Cafe and Im so glad we did. Large selection and not at all stand offish The service, food, music, ambiance was everything. They had me at old-school salsa and R&B. I ordered the picadera parrillada, picadera regular, wings, ribs, and everything was absolutely perfect. I cant wait to go back. The coconut mojito was deliciousness in a glass. For dessert I recommend the chocolate tres leche read more

The atmosphere the food the drinks the staff are all excellent. It's my go to, my favorite place even now that I'm in a wheelchair.

Wow !! Glad my brother took me to try Havana Cafe for lunch. Upon entering it had a great Cuban vibe, salsa music was awesome and ambiance was soothing. Hostess took us to your table and within a few minutes our order was taken. Excellent menu and service. Our waitress was Maddy who was attentive with our order. The food came relatively quickly and wow delicious! Didn't have any cocktails but plan to come back with my wife to try the Mojitos. Hopefully they're strong as we like them then I will revisit this review and up the stars to 5. The only con was the empanadas in my opinion. Ordered chicken empanadas but instead of getting 2 or 3 empanadas, we only got a few on a plate. They were little tiny what looked like pellets. Chef, please find a way to make these like original empanadas and place 2- 3 nice size empanadas on a plate especially for $13. Yes I highly recommend just can't say anything about cocktails just yet. I will however, return. read more

In all honesty Havana Cafe's food hits, but there workers and service make the environment poor. Security always has an attitude and is bored with their life, just like the servers and hosts. Been coming to Havana when it was under different management an and it was cool. But I think I will not be returning again. Go to AGUA E Coco across the street, you'll have a fun time and their food is fire. read more

Ventured out to this spot while visiting family nearby. I went with the Shrimp Mofongo, and it really exceeded my expectations (I'm a Mofongo snob!) The texture of the Mofongo was rich; filled with crunchy chicharonnes, and topped off with a delicious creole sauce. The only thing I have to say wasn't that great was my cocktail. It was just a little too sweet for me, and tasted like an artificial juice was added. read more

THEY USE BAD OILS (CORN OILS) SO BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH. PLEASE eat safe guys. This is what causes heart disease and so on!! Even their Tostones dipping sauce is CORN OIL. Unbelievable! Very unhealthy. They can do better!!! This is carelessness for HUMANITY. What a careless OWNER and CHEF! Educate yourselves always guys on how to eat right (ORGANIC) (OLIVE OILS) (AVOCADO OILS) and so on.... God bless. read more

There was a misunderstanding about the meal however Oscar (our waiter) accommodate the change. We were so satisfied with the meal. It was a sufficient amount and the service from the bus man to the waiter was professional and kind. Eduardo is very kind and pleasant. The ambiance it's rustic and trendy. I've coming here a while and still like it read more

I had a great experience here from the venue to the server to the guys on the front they were very nice helpful and attentive. The only thing me and cousin thought was for nearly 50 dollars for a plate of antojitos not once slice of limon lol that we agreed should have came on plate. Other than that loved this place and the place had good music and mature positive vibes ! read more

I went for a late lunch with my best friend to celebrate my daughter's 32nd chapter in heaven. It's a lively restaurant even early in the day. The ambiance is chill with Latin music playing in the background- not so loud that you can't hold a conversation. The menu is plentiful and mouthwatering. The food does not disappoint! We both had the pollo guisado. I had the white rice with maduros and my girlfriend had yellow rice with maduros & aguacate. For appetizers we shared bacalaitos. It was very different from our typical Puerto Rican bacalaos but then again, we were in a Cuban restaurant.... The service was great. I enjoyed a virgen Piña Colado & she enjoyed a Tito something or the other lol. Needless to say we both give this place two thumbs up! read more

We had an incredible time. The food is great. Kevin, the owner is terrific. The staff is super friendly

Giving this place 3 stars because my party of 7 came here on a Saturday 2pm & were told we had to wait 45min for a table. That's fine but & the wait wasn't the problem. When we walked in to use the bathroom we counted 6 large tables that could easily accommodate us. Not sure what the problem was but they employees did not try to accommodate us in anyway. We had to wait outside & couldn't even get drinks at the bar. It was way too cold to wait outside with our 4 kids so we left. On a lighter note the food smelled good & the bathroom was clean. read more

Went for an after work cocktail and to speak with our team about upcoming projects. Could not hear anything that coworker was talking about. We had to get up and leave. The music is too loud and the everyone was yelling at each other. If a relaxing evening is what you're looking for go somewhere else. Now if you enjoy really loud music and like being yelled at then this place is for you. read more

Outdoor seating, the red benches in particular, are kind of uncomfortable. Think of those benches and picnic tables out at a public park. I got the ropa vieja and thought it was alright. I'd explore the other options on the menu Service was nice read more

East Tremont Havana. I went there today and hostess claimed that every opened seat was reserved mind you they were empty for more than an hr. They claimed that every table other than the outdoor was reserved. VERY disappointed! I will not go back & I DO NOT recommend it. read more

Great first time here. My server Larry was fantastic and the rest of the staff was amazing as well. Super friendly, patience and helpful since it was our first time here. Good sized restaurant, not super crowded even though it's Super Bowl Sunday. It was clean inside and out and outside there as well. Food: We had the Palomilla with rice and moro ($27) and Churrasco with rice and beans ($36). The chimi sauce was very creamy. We also, had the Pastelon Cubano (de rope vieja) $18, which was delicious. It had a sweetness from the plantains and a juiciness from the slow cooked shredded beef. Drinks: We had the cuban side cars ($14 ea.) and peach lemonades ($12 ea.) Both very good as well. I would highly recommend coming here and I'll definitely be back. Next on my food list is the Cubano and the Lechoncito. Next on my drink list is the tropical mojitos, macho and le grand fizz. There is also metered parking in and around the area, just check the signs and make sure you can park there to avoid tickets at that time. read more

We were celebrating one our Sistha's birthday....La Unica 42nd Bornday!!!!. The drinks were...were!!!. How can you order a Long Island Iced Tea and don't feel any of the long Island..just the Tea.....this is just my opinion. The pernil for our main course was ...was!!!! I don't think I was hitting for greatness. The music, the music, the music!!!!! It seems like allllllll the Spanish songs were up to date, but the African American songs were back in the days. I even asked the Dj can he play some (black) up to date songs. His response was to have to give it some time!!!! I forgot that it depends on where you go. If you go to a Spanish restaurant, most songs are Spanish. The service was ok due to the reservations we had for 18 people. read more

There was a DJ and it was busy! While they seemed to have enough bussers, it seemed they did not have enough servers. It took 15 minutes before our server came to the table and only after I informed the hostess. It was quite loud so the waitress had trouble hearing me say "no cilantro", also I had ordered a specific aged rum in my drink and was given the basic blanco. We were also given the wrong appetizer. I do enjoy the food here very much, I usually like sitting at the bar but I knew it would be crowded so I had made a reservation ahead of time. I've been a patron here since they opened and while the majority of my experiences have all been good, the managers/owner should make sure they have enough staff to take care of the guests in an efficient manor. Ane perhaps adjust the volume of the speakers so that hearing the orders will be correct. read more

Havana Cafe never fails me. I have been coming here for years and the food and drinks are consistently good. I am in love with their Alitas its always crispy and tasty. I tried the El Grande which is a lobster crab cake. It had a nice crispy crust and was delicious. I'm also hooked on their rum punch. I'm not sure of the ingredients but its a perfect blend. You should also try their homemade sangria which is not too sweet just a nice mixture. Since we are still in a Pandemic Havana Cafe is doing their part to keep everyone safe. The staff wears their mask, they check your temperature and they also get your contact information. They also have a beautiful outside dining area if you prefer to sit outside. You can't go wrong at Havana Cafe. read more

This place is always packed, and I mean ALWAYS. Luckily, on a Saturday afternoon they were able to seat us right away, inside! Which never happens. We were reluctant because 9/10 times there is a crazy wait and when they had closed the waitlist on yelp, we were uncertain. Anyways, atmosphere here is super dope. The drinks here are GREAT. Worth every single penny. Red Sangria -- get that and thank me later. There were a bunch of items to order off the menu and it looked super expensive. But pretty much all the food here are great. I was craving a burger so I ended up getting the cuban burger. It was delicious but was too much meat overload in it. Be prepared to taste beef, pernil and slices of ham. If you're into that type of thing, get it. The tostones here are out of this world!!! We had asked for an extra mojito sauce but the waiter never came back out with it. The boneless chicken chunks are delicious but wish it came with more than 4 pieces. Overall, Havana is a delicious place for authentic cuisine. There is a reason why they have a big fan base here! I would definitely return when in the area. read more
