Should have been wrapped in foil or something to keep it warm. Cuban Sandwich was wrapped and in a separate small bag and was still warm and the meat was so tender. Very delicious. Love the bread they use. Side dish (Maduros) were mostly good. Three out of the four were were the traditional sticky, caramelized, the way you want it to be. And one was not but still were very good. We would get food from here again for sure. Overall we were very pleased.

We first got our drinks and that alone told me I was coming back even if it was just for a drink! Apps: Empanadas - Chicken & Picadillo. Came with green sauce which paired perfectly with both empanadas. Papa rellenas - Just the right ratio of potato and meat fried perfectly. Entrees: Both dishes were served with mashed potatoes. The beef had a wonderful flavor and the chicken had a semi sweet glaze. Dessert: The churros were good but they were plenty sweet without the chocolate sauce. The tres leche cake was tiny but dense and I liked that it wasn't overly sweet. I wish this place was a little more lively. Perhaps they can play music. Parking is available in a paid parking garage. Cuba Libre does NOT validate parking.

If you're looking for authentic Cuban food, this place is definitely worth a visit! Everything we…read moreordered was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The croquetas were perfectly crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, and the Cuban sandwich was one of the best I've had--packed with flavor and made just right. The service was outstanding from start to finish. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our meal. The ambiance was another highlight, with a beautiful tropical vibe that made it feel like a little getaway. Great food, excellent service, and a relaxing atmosphere--I highly recommend this restaurant and can't wait to come back!

A decidedly mediocre visit to Havana Bistro--while a few basics were handled well, the overall…read moreexecution and customer service fell flat. Here is the honest breakdown: * The Coffee: Solid and well-prepared. It had good depth and rich flavor, easily the high point of the stop. * The Croquetas: Disappointing. They were noticeably overdone and arrived burnt, completely missing the mark on the crispy, creamy standard you expect from a Cuban spot. * The Atmosphere & Service: The biggest issue came down to basic courtesy. While I was using the restroom, an employee began knocking on the door. I clearly called out "occupied," only for her to start knocking again just moments later. It felt rushed, impatient, and entirely unprofessional. A good cup of coffee cannot carry a visit when the food quality is off and the service lacks standard manners. Hard to recommend when there are far better options around.

We really have a great experience every time we come. The restaurant itself is a bit eclectic. It could definitely use some sprucing up and it could use some focus. Is this a bar? Is this a school cafeteria? Is this a table at Abuela's house? Is this a live music venue? It's a bit of all of those things and could use some fixing up and direction. However the meal will be great and they have other Caribbean and Hispanic options than just pure Cuban food.

I will say the service was a little slow, for me personally I don't really care but just for folks that care about that stuff.

The location is absolutely beautiful. Across from a gorgeous lake in a picturesque neighborhood…read more We were greeted immediately when we walked in. We mentioned we had a reservation but we were early and they were able to accommodate us. The indoor dining area is lovely with that old school Florida feel. Beautiful spanish and Cuban decor. There also an outdoor seating area which was empty on our visit due to the rain storm, humidity and heat. Our waiter was on top of everything, friendly and very knowledgeable. The food, I grew up on Cuban food and cant help but compare all Cuban food to my dad's cooking. I had the lechón platter and it was good. The lechón was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The yuca lacked flavor for me and was a bit bland as were the black beans. The rice was good. I was able to try a bite of picadillo and it was really good! I also had a bit of a Cuban sandwich which was a little different, but it was really really good! We brought family from out of town and they were all very pleased with their meals. We will definitely be back.

It's a large restaurant and the inside is well decorated. The staff all seemed to be native Spanish speakers and at times they seemed to not understand what we asked. Although they were very nice, service was somewhat slow especially towards the end when we waited to pay our bill. The food was all pretty good though we especially liked the ropa vieja and roasted pork which came in fairly large portions. There were also lots of flavor options for the mojito though they would only honor happy hour at the bar. We didn't love the desserts. Many people seemed to be there celebrating birthdays. There was lots of visual stimulation with strobe lights and a big TV playing music videos. There also was occasionally a man playing piano in the middle of the room.

I requested a garlic sauce, sometimes referred to as mojo sauce. I described it as a tangy garlic…read moresauce with a lighter, more liquid consistency. What was brought to the table appeared to be sautéed onions with garlic. I politely explained that this wasn't what I was expecting and that I had anticipated a sauce with a thinner consistency. At that point, the server's tone became noticeably confrontational and he insisted that what had been served was the sauce I was describing. The interaction became uncomfortable, and the server continued to give us what felt like dirty looks for the remainder of our visit. The situation left us feeling unwelcome and ultimately made us want to leave. I've included a photo so others can decide for themselves whether what was served matches the description of a garlic/mojo sauce.
