Always a great experience coming here !! I like to challenge myself with drinks outside my tastebuds and your bartenders always suggest phenomenal drinks. Kc/Casey makes some of the most well balanced drinks Iâve ever had, this place is must!!!

The food was good but not as amazing as i hoped. I enjoyed the Cubano the most i give it 4 stars. The yuca fries were good. The Ropa vieja was basic 1 star.. It should have been made better in my opinion. The empanadas were good as well. The drinks were phenomenal. The ambience was great and the decor was very nice. The service was great. Felt like we left Phoenix for a bit. There was a speakeasy inside of the restaurant going through the doors headed to the bathroom. It was dark and gloomy and a whole other vibe as you walk to the restrooms. All in all id say visit Coabana for the essence of Cuba in Phoenix

Great vibe great location, when you walk in you expect something great and authentic but when you sit down and order drinks, I donât know if we had an untrained bartender, but the drinks were overly sweet and not balanced. We had a spicy margarita and an old-fashioned, which were both mediocre at best. Then you get to the food. The only thing that was good about this place was the fresh oysters, donât order shrimp cocktail. Itâs like the cocktail you get at the grocery store in the round package with red cocktail sauce. everything else was just OK, no seasoning, no flavor just blah. But the atmosphere was the best thing about it!! We also got a surprise on our bill. It was $125 more than what it was supposed to be, because a table âaccidentallyâ got added to our bill. If we hadnât looked twice we would have ended up covering somebody elseâs tab.

Absolutely loved this place!! We went here for a bite before a show downtown and the food was amazing. Highly recommend getting the chef empanadas, they were to die for.

Exceptional service! Server was one of the most knowledgeable and friendly servers I have ever met at a restaurant. Food was really good, but not a huge quantity for the price.
Fun little spot, came here for a pop-up event our bartender recommended us. Super fun event with great people!

We went because of the good reviews. The drink menu was very elaborate, so Iâd expected the drinks to be good and they were. The glasses were chilled and rum drinks were generously poured. The garnishes made the drinks even more special. Looking then to the food menu you can tell this restaurant caters to customers having drinks and sharing âtapasâ, even though this concept is Spanish not Cuban. The appetizer menu is fairly elaborate and has a strange feature where many of the dishes come with 3 pieces and they advise that you can add a 4th for $3-$4 more. We tried the croquetas and again I associate this with a dish I was frequently given while living in Spain. These croquetas lacked potato and seemed to just have a crust with a ham and cheese cream sauce inside. They werenât great, but better than the rest of the food. The entree menu was bare bones with several sandwiches (the cubano no doubt) and then there was ropa vieja and arroz con pollo, which I tried and it was horrible. It was like actual âold clothingâ shredded chicken similar to what one would get at Filibertos. The rice and beans were completely unseasoned just drained black beans and instant rice it seemed. My wife ordered the Cuban sandwich and this should be hard to mess up, but again there was something like shredded pork on the sandwich and it was so salty that I could not distinguish the pickle or the ham or the cheese, the only other thing I could taste was mustard and a lot of it. As all the food was brought very quickly and at the same time as the appetizer I then noticed the croqueta had similarly been flavored with a generous helping of something like Guldenâs mustard. Everything else had no salt and no flavor so I asked for salt and hot sauce expecting a habanero sauce or something perhaps authentic to mask the blandness and the otherwise overarching mustard flavor. I was shocked that they graciously proceeded to bring two bottles of different varieties of Cholula Mexican hot sauce written right on the bottle that it wasnât Cuban. It almost felt as if this was purposely meant to suggest I as the customer was treating all Hispanic restaurants as if they were Mexican. Later I had trouble getting a box from the waiter who had disappeared and when I found him looking at his mobile at the bar he stated âyouâre going to have to give me a minuteâ. I had already paid and tipped 20%, but felt as if I was being treated as a bad tipper. In any case, I did not eat the leftovers and gave them to my dog.

Seems like kind of a hip place to hang out and have a drink. Our waiter was polite but not very knowledgeable he floundered on what seemed to be very straightforward questions in regards to food and service. If a server has confidence in himself it's comforting for the patron and the patron will typically have confidence in the server.
