    Adorable restaurant nestled in the back roads of chokoloskee Florida. Lovely outside seating and live music. Very friendly staff and great service. I had the grilled shrimp with Sofrito, rice and beans and two plantains. Dave had a similar plate with pork. Live entertainment was great, country folk singer. The old, real part of Florida that you don't see very often. Lots of water, fishing and homes on stilts. Hope we get to come back and camp!

    Front entry!

    Great foliage, decor, unique seating, great vibe, lots of good choices on the menu, even a "Cuban" cigar roller. Music was heading in when we left. And lots of Pokestops to play.

    My wife and I ate here during our January 2026 visit to Marco Island. We have been here several times in the past an again had a great lunch. It is a colorful outdoor restaurant with great c Cuban food. It is like sitting in a garden. The servers were excellent. We split a Cuban Sandwich which was great. I also had a Colada (a double expresso with sugar), which kept me awake!

    Mojo pork platter  with Maduros, black beans & rice. Pork was slow cooked with garlic & lime juice  with added veggies with sautéed onions

    On a Sunday drive we stopped here in Chokolosee 1st, left & then returned after leaving two others in Port Everglades which didn't excite our interest. Good choice. Ambience is excellent- 5 star. Nice tropical feel with blooming bougainvillea Music was an added bonus++ Service was prompt & friendly Food was on the stove & served quickly. Coffee was made fresh & enjoyed. Our meal could have been hotter but was tasty as we were hungry. When we arrived the patio had plenty of tables. In our hour of enjoyment it got busier. If going to the end of the road-Cafe Havana is best choice.

    Absolutely loved this place! Such an inviting and fun atmosphere!! The servers were wonderful and all staff were very friendly and welcoming! And did I mention the Food I had the Huervos Rancheros with a side of home fries and bacon, let me tell you, what a treat!! All food was brought out in a timely manner and was soo good! The stars though are definitely Caramel and Buttered Popcorn.

    MAGICAL. Worth traveling to. From anywhere. Peel & eat shrimp are a must. Charming patio. Dog friendly.

    My tasty vegetarian Cuban breakfast.

    I found this restaurant, I believe by searching on Yelp, when I was looking for a place to have breakfast while traveling on the Tamiami trail and staying in Everglades City. I drove the short route down the causeway bridge along the water to this gem on and Island. The staff cooking greeted me as I came in. My server was nice and friendly as well and ensured me about ordering a Cuban vegetarian breakfast. The outside huge patio area behind this restaurant is so peaceful and nice and pretty with lots of plants and trees, and lots of birds around in the morning. My breakfast was good and big and filling. I really enjoyed the black refried beans. The veggies on the eggs were good. The fried plantains were as well. I had a lovely time.

    Havanna Cafe a gem in Everglade City, 191 Smallwood Dr, Chokoloskee, Fl . This small quaint restaurant has an amazing selection of local and international foods in a casual atmosphere with great service and excellent ambiance. We've lived in Miami for over 60 years and even though there are many famous and popular restaurants in Miami, Havanna by far has one of the best Cuban sandwiches we've ever had. Their pork sandwich is amazing. The pork melts in your mouth. This is our second visit and we thoroughly enjoyed the Cuban, the medianoche as well as the tostone appetizer. Additionally they have one of the best key lime pies, tart but sweet. I would definitely recommend Havanna for their amazing food and welcoming atmosphere.

The restaurant feels like a colorful, garden‑style hideaway, full of charm, warmth, and the delight of discovering a true local gem. And of course, the two resident chickens, Popcorn and Carmel, add their own quirky personality to the experience. Our server, Mimi, was excellent--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The café is tucked away along the back roads of Chokoloskee, surrounded by the kind of old‑Florida scenery that's becoming rare. The food was outstanding. We started with tostones (fried plantains with garlic), then enjoyed the pork sandwich with chips and the pork plate with rice, beans, and two perfectly cooked sweet plantains. Every bite was rich with authentic Cuban flavor. We finished with the flan, which was so good we could have easily ordered a second. With its lovely outdoor seating, light radio music floating through the air, and a staff that treats you like family, HavAnnA Café delivers an experience that feels both heartfelt and memorable. The only thing missing was a hammock--I could have taken a nap and geared up for an early dinner. The seafood stew looked especially tempting for next time. A wonderful stop in a part of Florida that still holds its original soul. And by the way, don't leave without grabbing a bottle of their hot sauce--sweet, flavorful, and just the right amount of kick!!!

    Went to Rumba Cuban Cafe and it's hands down the best Cuban food I've had in Naples. No question…read more It's not my Cuban kitchen, but it's the closest thing I've found out here. The food is flavorful, well seasoned, and done right. Nothing overpowered, nothing sloppy, just solid, authentic cooking that actually hits. You can tell this place is built on real recipes and consistency, not shortcuts. The vibe is simple, casual, and exactly what it should be. No fluff, just good food and people who know what they're doing. If you're in Naples and craving Cuban, this is the spot.

As soon as you enter, staff are quick to take care of you and make you feel at home. Our server Rosi made sure we were well taken care of and treated us like family. We started with their Mojito which was beyond fresh tasting and well balanced in flavor. They had cups prepared on the bar counter as it must be a staple item for them. We also ordered the Cuban Sandwich (full order) and a side of Sweet Plantains. The food was made fresh to order and you could tell from the taste. The Cuban is the best I've experienced with fresh bread, quality meat, and good portions of sauce/cheese. The portion as well was a great size or enjoy when hungry or share. The Sweet Plantains came with about 5-6 pieces. Most guests were also ordering a cuban coffee to enjoy. Overall, this was a great lunch spot! If you want to experience authentic cuban food when in the area, Rumba Cuban Cafe will not disappoint! Tip: Check their hours before going. They are open 10am - 3pm weekdays only.

We also had planned to go back with a group later this year. First, even though we asked to be seated indoors, they insisted we sit outside. There were only two others at the restaurant. The inside was empty but the owner later explained they were cleaning it. I thought the prices were high and they offered no lunch specials. But, going on prior Yelp reviews, I was led to believe the food was above par. Sadly, the food was OK but not great, and not worth the price. To top it off, they automatically add a 20% tip. I know restaurants do that with large parties but certainly inappropriate for a party of two. Service was good but I don't like to be forced to pay an automatic 20% tip. Tipping is done based on how good your service is -- so I would get stuck paying 20% even if service was awful? What I found to be off putting were the responses from the owners to reviewers; particularly, on Google. They accuse everyone who posts a bad review of posting a fake review and/or they got extremely defensive. Wow! How about a little humility and attempts to fix things. Sure wish I had seen the Google reviews prior to making my trip to Everglades City. I chose this place due to the great Yelp reviews I read. I should have checked all of the reviews because the bad ones were way more accurate.
