As always excelled in every category. Delicious food,excellent service and great music. A neighborhood gem.

Food was delicious but the price of the steak could include a little salad or some sort of vegetable.

Waiter doesn't know menu, disappeared on us a couple of times. Food is not authentic Cuban, if you have ever had a meal in Miami, you'll be hugely disappointed. But at least it was somewhat loud, only part that Cuban about this Cuban restaurant. Walked in and there was one flag hanging above the bar, not Cuba, or a mistaken P. Rico flag, but Argentina! WTF!

Expensive. $31 for Ropa Vieja. Designed to maximize expense. $16 for 2 empanadas. Receipt encouraged us to tip on post tax amount.

A small but welcoming space! Great atmosphere, lively energy, delicious food, and great service!

Giancarlo

Terrible experience. Crowded and noisy at an unbearable level. When the orchestra plays they use powerful amplifiers and the noise becomes dangerous. Food very poor and service inconsistent. You have to ask a waiter four times to have a bottle or water. If you are a cuban expat probably you'll love the atmosphere. If you aren't stay at home.

Guantanamera !!! Cosa aggiungere ? Come ogni volta serata fantastica, nelle sere con musica dal vivo il locale è sempre un piacere...ottimo anche il cibo ed i cocktails...ma l'atmosfera, la musica e l'allegria sono la ciliegina sulla torta...consigliatissimo.

They are knowledgeable about food allergies and have a spreadsheet of there menu with common allergies listed. The food was very good, I had the seafood paella and totally enjoyed it. I paired it with a Spicey margarita which was very good and not too Spicey so was enjoyable. I would recommend this restaurant.

Small, friendly,casual Cuban place. The Cuban sandwich was good, not great. Yes, I would go back given I can't get to the Columbia in Tampa or to Cuba just now!

I found the interior of the place to be inviting invoking a feeling of old Havana. The wait staff was friendly, capable and efficient. It was noisy because it was all-day Happy Hour this particular day but the food is delicious and having live entertainment also increased the energy in the room and made for a great evening.

Just awesome! I'm a huge fan of Cuban cuisine but haven't strayed outside of pork and chicken. Well I had the oxtails and they were fabulous! Manuel our amazing server, took excellent care of us! If there weren't so many other restaurants to try I would return tonight! That's how good it was! Oh and the best calamari I have had in quite some time!

I have been going here for years and have always had such an incredible experience. The food is full of flavor and authenticity and has a variety of options for meat and seafood lovers. The staff is warm, inviting and attentive. The best part? the live music 7 days a week! Whether it's a Tuesday after work or a weekend celebration, the music will get you out your seat dancing. This is a true gem of the Hells Kitchen/Columbus Circle area.

Guantanmera was fantastic! The food was delicious and the staff were great. The restaurant has great ambiance. Lively yet not loud

Jeffrey

Too loud. Mediocre service, at best. Had to ask for water refills, ice repeatedly. Language barrier. Too few choices my cumin allergy allows me to eat. Unlikely to return.

Charles

Wonderful restaurant with live music. The food was excellent except for dessert which was good. The live band was outstanding.
