Reviews Havana Bistro & Cafe

It was a wonderful experience! The place was cozy, small, and had a peaceful ambiance. The customer service was exceptional, and the food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place to anyone. I tried their breakfast sandwich, and it was incredibly tasty. I also sampled their empanadas, and they were equally delightful.

Good food and clean establishment. Has buffet and regular dining. Had buffet beef stew , rice and yucca. Had Mando drink with milk. I would recommend this restaurant.

Mofongo is so good 😋 small restaurant, with amazing food, service is average, prices are great. Worth it 💕

It had been awhile since this midwestern gringa had enjoyed authentic Cuban food. I grew up with Cubans in NJ and Miami, and I lived with an excellent Cuban cook. So I had some difficulty ordering. Place isn't fancy, but I put that in the plus column. I've had great food in " hole in the wall" joints: More focus on food and less on decor. For starters, the plantanos were excellent. Perfectly fried and not too greasy. We ordered the empanadas for the table, chicken and beef. Again, excellent. I'm a big sangria fan, so we got a pitcher for the table. It was tart not sweet. Seems like no two sangrias are the same. I wouldn't order it again, but you might like it more tart. Fruit seemed like it was from a can. Oh, well. Main entrées: I tried the arroz con pollo. Very tasty and nicely plated. I order the picadillo, a childhood favorite. I gotta be honest: This gringa makes it better. I learned the recipe from my friend the cook. She put capers and green olives in hers. This was just ground beef over rice. I didn't even detect onions in it. The bistec others ordered seemed dry. But the pork dish was a hit with one at our table. So...my review? Kinda mixed. Plantains, empanadas, and arroz con pollo excellent. We shared flan for dessert. Fabulous. Service was friendly and efficient. I'd give it another shot at lunch and try their sandwiches.

Small cozy place with good fresh food and friendly service. The croquetas and the croqueta preparada sandwich along with the Cuban sandwich is very good the cafe con leche was excellent very foamy and without an excess of sugar. Everything was spot on with the spices and no excess salt. I have to return to try the triplets and Venezuelan empanadas. Their desert list is more extensive than the usual Cuban cafeteria and their pastries look very fresh and appetizing.

A Cuban restaurant with a service staff that goes out of its way to please their customers. This was not easy as I was in a group of 15 people and our server, Ernesto, was amazing! And the food was great. My wife had the Churasco, a grilled steak served with rice and beans. It was perfectly cooked to a medium rare and was delicious. I ordered Mofongo de camarones (with shrimp). The shrimp was sauteed in a wonderful creamy garlic sauce and the Mofongo was crushed with the perfect amount of garlic and chicharrones and was very moist as well. All in all, the food was great. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal and I know that I will be back. This restaurant is right across from the Florida mall. Give them a try. I recommend them. And ask for Ernesto...he will take great care of you!
