My second visit to My Havana Vieja in Torrance. The restaurant had just opened and we were the first customers. So… service was fast and attentive. Food was fresh and seasoned well. Very happy with everything!

Wow! The food was not the good at all.Cuban food has taste, but this one no flavor, it was not hot ordered pollo Asado, had no flavor not even the rice or beans pure plain, we churrasco pkate as well, not a flavor as well, and this one was cold, too expensive and not even free i would passed it. Empanadas aren't good either and the sauce didn't help either, no taste at all, not coming back and don't recommend. We were the only one seating down at Saturday 6:30 pm where it should it be very busy restaurant

This place is not what it used to be. I wanted to love it like a few years back but its just not the same. Dropped 2 Stars in my opinion.

We enjoyed every bite. First time, but it will not be the last.

$53 for 2 sandwiches, a soda, tea, and 2 cream cheese empandas. Ehhh, the food was tasty, don't get me wrong but for that price I was expecting more. The woman who served us was friendly and informative. We went on Saturday afternoon and were the only ones in the dining room and only 1 other at the bar. I don't think we will be back.

First time here. Nice open dining area and also a dance/bar area where it looks like they could also have live music. We only had the cuban sandwich so this is just a review for it. Very tasty but 2 recommendations: it should have been a bit more toasted and warm. We look forward to trying other items next time. We have been to Miami many times and this would be a bit better than average

Yesterday afternoon we went with my family to the restaurant to try the restaurant's food. I learned to cook Cuban food from a cook who worked at the famous Tropicana in Havana. Unfortunately for me, my daughter and I ordered roast chicken and the girl had breast. empanadas they served us some beans that had already gone bad, the taste was unpleasant, the tostones were hard, they were made a few days before and they only reheated them, the fries were made with a nasty old oil, my husband ordered traditional suckling pig and he couldn't eat it I hope that the health authorities visit that place and close them, the bathrooms do not have good hygiene

I loved it! Food was fresh and full of flavor. My daughter and nieces loved it too!
I've come here quite a few times and I love it! I've tried their sandwich cubano, their ropa vieja sandwich, sandwich de pollo, and their various drinks with my favorite being the passion fruit one or maracuya. While you wait, they also hand you complimentary bread and bean dip which is very good! I also love their cafe con leche, though that one can take a while to brew because they make it fresh! Be patient for it, but trust me it's worth it! Best Cuban Cuisine I've had in SoCal.

First time trying this place... my friend is vegan and she love cuban food ... myself I just love food... it's a great find ... there's only a small selection of vegan choices... but they do have them... however the beef empanada are money... the paella del mar... was very favorable... but I would have liked to see more seafood in the dish... there's no shortage on choices of alcohol & non alcohol drinks... just know on Sunday they offer a bunch buffet from 11am to 2pm with live mariachi music... which we missed by hour... maybe next time... if you're in a Cuban mood ... this is your place
Vegetarian options: The choices are limited... however the ones the do have are very tasty

Tl;dr: 6 pieces of shrimp for $16 to-go plate (w/ rice and 3 plantains)- no thanks!
We picked up food here. It was tasty, but I can't fathom a place that gives 6 likely pre-frozen (size 31-40/lb) shrimp and charges customers $16 for it. Taste was good but not worth it
What we got: lechon asada (pulled pork), camarones Al ajillo (shrimp in a garlic infused wine sauce) - flavor wise, we liked the garlic shrimp better- but it's hard to go wrong with garlic/butter/white wine sauce. Pork dish was generous, but a tad dry
Had high ratings and reviews, so was hopeful! But Not coming back here
