Have enjoyed the restaurant for more than a decade. Food, service and ambience is always excellent

Amazing vibe. Food was delicious. Attentive server. Wish we had made the reservation for later so we could have heard the live music. Would recommend.

The staff greeted us with genuine smiles and offered excellent service throughout the evening. The food was phenomenal. Every dish was bursting with flavor. We had the calamaris, which was fresh and perfectly seasoned. For the main course, I had the rabo encendido, which was tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. This is the kind of place you want to return to, whether it's for a special occasion or just a great meal. Highly recommended!

It was a rainy Saturday afternoon when we stopped by for lunch, so the place was calm and quiet. But the food and cocktails were excellent as always, and the friendly service was everything I've come to know from this restaurant. Always a treat!

Authentic as it can be. The food is excellent. The music was awesome and service was good. It was a little hot but the mojitos made up for it

We always make a point to come here whenever we are in NYC. Ambiance is great and the food is authentically Cuban.

Loved the place and the atmosphere in general. Only flaw was a SUPER NOISY LOUD group at the bar which pretty much obliterated our conversation at one of the booths. Waiters friendly and attentive, food of good standard, and we enjoyed the evening. Ropa Vieja great, and also the desserts. Would go again but would make sure not near the bar.

Come for the food and ambiance stay for the amazing service. Patrick, one of the owners, is the definition of hospitality. He treats his patrons like family guests and the servers clearly follow his lead. It's a little noisy, but a good time. Had the Cuban sandwich with plantain chips. It was spectacular.

Wonderful time here! The food and drink are great, and the entertainment at night is such a blast. Just wish the prices were a little less!

Always a pleasure to come to Guantanamera. Our server was wonderful and was even able to understand my lip reading to tell him it was my daughter's birthday. The margaritas are always the best.

Beth

Excellent food and authentic! Loved the live music and energy. One complaint—too loud!!....especially prior to the band with piped in music, people yelling and musicians warming up.

Ich gehe seit meinem ersten Besuch in diesem Restaurant immer wieder - bei Aufenthalten in NY - ins Guantanamera NYC. Der freundliche und perfekte Empfang, die Bedienung und vor allem das reichhaltige Angebot an typischen kubanischen Köstlichkeiten zu einem fairen Preis haben es in sich! Zudem live kubanische Musik... ein bisschen wie im Buena Vista Social Club. KUBA pur! A place not to be missed
