At must do on my list everytime I am in the city. Great service and amazing food. Make sure you get empanadas with the chimicurri sauce delish. Any entree on the menu is a winner and the hand squeezed lemonade 😋😋😋

Very nice Cuban restaurant near Times Square

The food, service and location at Times Square are all excellent. Every visit to NYC requires our visit to Havana Central. Reservations are a good idea.

I had made a reservation for Thursday night, and that was probably a good idea. It was very busy when we arrived so we might have had a wait if I hadn't made a reservation.
I can see why they were so busy there; food, atmosphere and service were all excellent, easy to see why it's so popular.
We both had cubanos (I had the Classico and my husband had the Steak Sandwich), which were honestly so good. Portions are large, I had ordered a side of plantains but was under pressure to finish them after the size of the cubano!
It's loud in there, but you can still have a conversation. Funky energetic feel to the place, I really liked it, and would have no hesitation recommending.

The service and vibes were excellent. The food and drinks were top notch as well as the live music. We danced, drank and ate delicious food. Thank you for making my husband’s surprise 60th birthday celebration so special and successful.

Came here for happy hour with my sister (for a 2nd time) and the manager, Jaleel, was so quick to accommodate us to our comfort. Our server Francisco was an incredible pleasure and constantly checking on us. The food was soo delicious, we had to order seconds. We are definitely going back again. Thank you team for the warm welcome and great time !

I had dinner here on a Friday night before a Broadway show and the place was packed. I had reservations and got seated fast. Fun vibes with live band playing salsa.
I ordered Rice with Shrimp and plantains , Empanadas sampler and Pork. The entrees came with black beans and the portions were generous. The empanadas were delicious and I chose shrimp, beef and ropa vieja.
Happy Hour is from 4-7pm and you can order the HH drinks from the table but if you want to order HH food, you have to be at the bar.
Overall it was a great experience and I’d definitely go back. This is perfect for a bite and some drinks before your Broadway show.
Very typical Cuban atmosphere with live music and an overall fun vibe. The portions were a very good size, of good quality, and at a fair price. Service was also great.

A really cool spot for some Cuban food in Manhattan. The restaurant had some cool Cuban vibes. The pictures and art work were a nice vibe. We started out with the assortment of three empanadas (beef, chicken and cheese) my personal favorite was the chicken. For my entree I only wanted a small plate, so I ordered the masitas de cerdo which were served with tostones. It was a perfect side (appetizer size) with a side order of avocado. My girlfriend had the white rice with black beans. Both dishes were good. As we were leaving, a small band was setting up to play. The service and decor were really nice. The waiter was quick to take care of all or dining needs. I recommend you do reservations in order to get a table.
