We went for brunch and got the croquetas, the tortilla cubana, and the huevos rancheros. The tortilla cubana (omelette with chorizo, manchego, and spinach) was great, but the potatoes served on the side were just ok. The huevos rancheros were good as well. The croquetas were very heavily breaded -- I would not order them again. I had the passionfruit mojito, which was good but a bit too sweet for my taste. Service was good!

Reasonably priced food and drinks with a delightful atmosphere. I came with my cousins for a family dinner and we thought the food was tasty and the portions were extremely filling.The Ropa Vieja was a standout dish for me in terms of the presentation and preparation!

Amazing experience there having dinner for six. The vibe was great the moment we entered. Strong positive energy. Service and attentiveness the best. Food was fast to arrive and each dish unique and great. Live Cuban music on Friday was amazing, along with freshly rolled cigars (no smoking onsite though). Dare I sad this is now in my favorites rotation!! Note that the first floor is wonderfully vibrant and there is another floor for those that prefer a quieter space.

Went there for dinner, The ambience was so nice, the music was amazing we were with a baby so they seated us in a little private section for that witch I really appreciate. The food was good, the drinks were ok but the service it wasn't great, we got more attention from the busser that was so nice and funny better that the actual server

I was pleasantly surprised with this restaurant! Not only do they have two other rooms downstairs, but I did not expect live music! The plantain appetizer was very good along with the salmon dish, which comes with some shrimp. I have the old-fashioned rum drink which hit the spot. I highly recommend this place to sit inside and enjoy the ambience.

I've done takeout from here a number of times, not realizing delivery is through a third party. I always just call the restaurant and assumed they use their own delivery people. I always - ALWAYS, ALWAYS - get stuck paying way more for my food delivery when paying cash because the delivery people show up claiming not to have any change. I'm tired of it. The restaurant could care less when I called them. I'll find someplace else. It's not fair. Or worth the extra money.

It's one of my favorite restaurants to come to. Great tasty food dishes ,the best coconut mojitos, and friendly professional staff at Cuba. I do recommend the Churrasco with white rice and black beans.(Great taste).Cuba is one of the very few places that knows how to make the mojitos perfectly! Very friendly staff always! I recommend this place for a night out with friends or date night!

I was invited to a birthday dinner here. The service is impeccable! All the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. The drinks were good, and the food was good. I didn’t know it was a live band, which I know some people enjoy. I do not, since you cannot really hear the people you are with. But the music was good, so it’s just a matter of preference. The room we had was VERY tight, and we were literally elbow to elbow. It’s an intimate and cozy location, but I would recommend as an option for anyone who enjoys this type of atmosphere.

This was the absolute most perfect place to celebrate my one year anniversary with my boyfriend. I made a reservation a week in advance and put it in the notes that it was for an anniversary. We found parking a block away which was great and were seated right away when we arrived. The menu has a decent amount of selections but I decided to go by some of the recommendations from my fellow yelpers. We ordered two mojitos, grilled octopus as our appetizer, ropa vieja and lechon asado as our entrees. Our mojitos had the perfect amount of bitterness and sweetness. The grilled octopus was grilled to perfection and came with potatoes that looked like home fries but were spectacular. My ropa vieja was so good and so filling; the shredded beef was seasoned so well and paired beautifully with the rice and black beans. My favorite part of my dish was the mashed plantain under the shredded beef: the sweetness of the plantain meshed so well with the saltiness of the beef. I tried the lechon and it was very good; not too salty and very tasty. As our dessert, we decided to try the mango tres leches. When it arrived, it had "happy anniversary" written on the border of the plate which instantly made us smile. The attention to detail in all of our dishes was not missed; everything was served and presented so beautifully. The dessert was creamy, sweet and the perfect way to end the meal. During our entire meal, we enjoyed live music in the background which was magical. Although it was a very busy night, our server, Saul was extremely attentive and made sure we had everything we needed at all times. This restaurant went over and beyond our expectations and will be getting recommendations from me.
