mojito

My husband & I stopped here for an early lunch on our way through town. From the warmth and attentiveness of the staff to the delicious food, this place is a real treasure. It is also spotless! We arrived a few minutes before opening and even the area outside smelled freshly cleaned. My only regret is that we don't live closer, so we could eat here more often. Bravo, Sweet Havana - you know how to treat customers right!

Ropa Vieja dinner with tostones
Kevin P.

When I come to a city my rule is to not try any restaurant or establishment that I can get back home in Cleveland. Today, I visited Sweet Havana in Toledo. The food, I say with absolutely no hyperbole, was fantastic. The staff was nice and I even met the owner as he came over to our table and chatted with us for a little bit. It was so good, that today as I dropped my friend off who lives in Toledo, I'm stopping by again to get another roast pork dinner, after visiting the restaurant on Sunday. The drink I had was delicious which was a pina colada, but it did take a while due to the full restaurant, but I didn't mind. As I said. I'm back again 2 days later for the roast pork dinner, that should tell you all you need to know about how good this restaurant is. Five stars

Blue Agave is no more.  Sweet Havana has arrived.

FACT 1: Toledo needs more Cuban food. FACT 2: Sweet Havana fits the bill. FOOD: The food is pretty good. Is this the best Cuban food I've ever had? Nope. Is this the best Cuban food that I've ever had in Toledo? Probably. I've been here twice. Both times I placed takeout orders. The Ropa Vieja was very good. It was flavorful, spicy enough, and filling. I'd recommend that you top it with a little home made red sauce, and have it served over rice. Excellent dish! I will admit that I was a disappointed by the picadillo. IMO, it needed to be a little sweeter and a little less greasy. It, too, would have been better if served over a bed of rice. The yuca was better than expected, and the plantains were excellent. Also, I didn't see empanadas on the menu. Weird. Service: The service was excellent. On both occasions, I walked in, placed my order, and was on my way in less than 10 minutes. Everyone was friendly, and my order was right. Atmosphere: The owner has put some money and effort into making Sweet Havana comfortable. The TVs showing street action in Cuba are a nice touch. Great music. Soooooo. I plan to come back soon (the menu is full of great sounding items), but I'll probably skip the picadillo. So far, I'm giving Sweet Havana 5 stars, 'cuz it's the best Cuban food in Toledo!

First visit...met a friend for lunch on a Tuesday at 1pm. Sweet Havana was buzzing! Great vibe, great energy, perfect music, and nice surroundings. Staff was friendly and fun! Admittedly, I have had very little experience with Cuban cuisine, but I thought the the food here was fantastic...flavorful and seasoned perfectly. Will definitely be returning!

Ceviche fish and shrimp was on point!!

Food was exceptional. Looks were deceiving but well worth it. I'll be back and it's 1.5 hours drive.

Cuban Bowl
Kris M.

We dined here on a Saturday evening. We were greeted promptly and sat immediately. The staff is attentive and polite. Everything we ordered was fantastic. I would definitely recommend.

Fresh beef tacos

This was authentic fresh delicious food with a great atmosphere! The staff was friendly. The food was just delicious. Highly recommend if you're looking for a little Cuban in a wonderful tucked away plaza. Enjoy!

Cuban Chicken Breast!!!
Lauren H.

The food and ambiance is great! The chicken breast was delicious, so is the Cuban sandwich! Service is great and attentive! Would definitely eat here again!

Shrimp salad
Joey K.

Great food, service, and space. Ordered the pork belly with guacamole and tostones, yuca frita, ox tail special with rice and peas and salad, and the shrimp salad. Ended with churros. Food came quick, very fresh, and service was very accommodating. Excited to come back once they have their liquor license to try their drinks!

Food and service were excellent at Sweet Havana. We split the Cuban sandwich and had sides of plantains and black beans.

I haven't had a true Cuban food experience which technically Frita Batidos isn't- Eve the person…read morewho started this experience hails from Cuban roots based in Miami! The foundation for a good meal here is a frita - a fried patty with bread and toppings like an egg and/or tropical slaw and shoestring French fries. The batido - complements the meal so well and is essentially a smooth fruity fresh smoothie. From flavors like passion fruit to coconut cream to hibiscus, the lean more sweet than fresh fruit but make for a good refreshing drink for after a long day! The fritas are SO good with the tropical slaw! This will be my new spot in A2!!! One note: the way food is delivered to tables is by shouting out the name which can be impossible to hear for yours when it's extremely packed (which is usually the case). Otherwise, the space has good seating both indoors and outdoors.

I see why every Ann Arbor native recommends taking their visiting friends here as the vibe is…read moregiving campus lunch benches but with the juiciest, most flavorful burgers. They order chipotle style where you can create and customize your own burger or order off their set menu. Service was speedy and hot! Churro was a bit doughy and not as light and crisp - felt more like a donut on the inside, but not sure if that's maybe more or less accurate.

This place is amazing! There's a ton of food options nearby but FB stands out. We stopped in after…read morevisiting another restaurant unsatisfied. The burgers and atmosphere drew us in. We went with a basic (honestly anything but) burger with bacon, sweet chili mayo and shoestring fries on top. It was one of the best things I ate all weekend. With a limited time in Detroit I even considered going back for a second time. We also tried their mini churros which may be the cities best cheap it. $1 per mini churro which honestly aren't even that mini is a screaming deal that everyone should know about. They were hot, flavorful and the hint of orange was a lovely addition. Had we not been stuffed I would've ordered more, do not skip on this. If you haven't been to Frita Batidos yet and you're wondering if it's worth it I highly recommend checking it out. Food was amazing, restaurant was clean, staff was friendly, there honestly wasn't a single miss here!

I've been to the location in Ann Arbor and have wanted to come to this location for some time now…read more Since I was already downtown for an event, I drove a few miles to get here and it was worth it. It's obviously just like the Ann Arbor location but substantially less busy (thank goodness.) I walked in and it's a smaller version of what I'm used to. Menu is up on the wall and the two gentleman at the counter were friendly and helped me place my order. I went with a burger with muenster cheese with an egg on top along with their coleslaw instead of fries. The coleslaw was actually really good! (not all coleslaws created equal. Let me tell you about it!) My food did take a while to come out but it was quite delicious. I forgot they have water jugs at the table and I could've gone without the sprite, but it was a throwback bottle in the glass bottles and I couldn't resist. I know they have the benches to encourage community and getting to know other people outside of your party, but sitting there makes my butt and back sore after a while. Place is clean and well organized which I loved, and it's in the district so you're a stones throw from the ballpark. Overall a fabulous experience and worth stopping by on a very hot July afternoon.
