Food was okay, nothing outstanding. I had a sandwich cubano was a bit too salty. The fried Yucca was delicious and the green avocado dip was great. Service was ok . We went on a week day so there was one server doing everything. We went during happy hour but she charged us full price.

Our first time at Havana and absolutely loved it. Saw that they had new owners and were promoting ladies night. Just two drinks and a shot already had us feeling good great drinks and size. Our bartender was so sweet even put salt and lime on our shot out of a paper cup. Josh was an amazing host kept the partying going! Even bought my man and his friend a free shot cause they were dancing all night. Will definitely be back to try the food! Would recommend to everyone at least check it out once.

This is a surprisingly new classy, special atmosphere! I feel like Im in Cuba? Definitely a weekend thing to do or any day of the week! Music and food just goes together , guaranteed if u are shy , you wil be on the dance floor shaking your hips! Owners are friendly and makes sure you are taken care of! Proper drinks too! Check it out you wont regret!

This restaurant is overrated this is basic food with a Cuban name. No flavor and the chicken chicharrón was basically Wings with no flavor and dry. I could've went to Popeyes or a different restaurant and I will get a better flavor out of it

I brought my friends here after not visiting before they moved. I was excited to have Cuban food in Colorado and I thought given the reviews, we would get great food. Let me say that we walked into an interesting decor (think mismatched everything, with darker colors). The best Cuban places back home are holes in the wall, so it’s not crazy to see it replicated in Springs. The food left a lot to be desired. We got the croquettes for appetizer. They were burnt on the outside and still cold inside. You can easily tell they were frozen out of a package. The fried yucca was ok, but it should have been boiled first to make for a softer more palatable dish. My friends ordered breaded chicken which tasted like no seasoning. I ordered chicken chunks which were a bit salty and hard. Our server was super sweet but her attention was all over the place. All in all, I’m Cuban and I was dying to leave a raving review but I was so disappointed by my experience, I had to leave a review.

Awesome authentic Cuban food, love the Cuban sandwiches and empanadas. Night they have more of a club setting which is great if you like to go out and dance.

This place was excellent! Friendly service. Interesting atmosphere. Great food. Good music. We ordered two chicken entrees at the suggestion of the server and they were both super good. The fried yuca was amazing. Even the rice had a vinegar flavoring in it which made it superb! Seriously good food. You guys want this! You want it bad. Highly recommend.

Great vibe and the waitress was nice but overwhelmed and overworked looked like it. No refills offered when neededWe were able to get this off the bill but shouldn’t have been served. It was like three chickens that were practically rocks from cooking all day and super boney and unappealing. I asked for rice and plantains I was given two things of rice. My dinner was white rice. Will not return.

We celebrated my sister's birthday here two weeks ago. Yes, I flew all the way to the Springs for one day just to celebrate this grand milestone! I was so excited to hear she was having her birthday at a Latin place because.... I love Latin music! That alone was enough to entice me to come. Not gonna lie, wasn't expecting much in terms of the food. But i was pleasantly happy and surprised!! Rather than have us order from the menu, my sister selected five entrees from which guests can choose from. Then she printed these out for her guests so that was all we could choose from. So much easier than having everyone be confused on what to order, plus it prepared the restaurant in advance that this is what 20 people are going to order from. Anyway, I had the ... yikes, I can't remember the drink but it was so good! Not sure if it was the Sunrise? We also had the appetizer platter that had fried plantains, camote, pork and fries plus empanadas. Didn't get to try any of the empanadas. Boooo For my entree, I had the grilled fish!! I absolutely loved it. The rice was flavored and even though I normally am not big on beans, the black beans were the bomb especially mixed with the rice! I couldn't finish and took home and ate next morning and it tasted even better. Not exaggerating. Other guests loved the side sauce - there was a cilantro one and a lime one I think. Everyone loved the sauce! My only complaint - everyone said their steaks were overcooked and I have to agree. I saw their orders. The others who ordered the pork loved it. My fish was perfect! Dancing - almost forgot. Inside is a band that plays Salsa, merengue, chacha, bachata and some reggaeton. Outside under the tent is hip hop. We had so much fun that we closed down the Place at 1:30 or was it 2:00 Am? Go and get your Latin fix here.
