OUTSTANDING! Let me start by saying I've been once and for 5 stars I must evaluate consistency so don't assume 4 starts is bad. I will be back and will likely update to 5 soon. The food was amazing. Having never had Cuban food before and being a vegetarian I was a bit nervous, but that was unfounded. Plenty of options available for me and flavor combinations I have never experienced. We did 3 rounds of tapas and drinks and there isn't a single thing I didn't love. Our waitress Christina was fabulous, offering suggestions and being patient with my indecisive team. She was on top of everything all the time, including filling our water despite having a water carafe on the table (it's those fine touches that just stand out). Never felt rushed even though we were there for almost 3 hours. I'd have taken photos but they are meaningless, stop reading this review and go there right now!
Very tasty! Hole in the wall, parking is....uh, not great, but there's a lot a few blocks away. The venue itself is cute, I've been to similar places in Havana, with most of the light from the front windows, small tables, loud happy music, and friendly staff.
The food is good, and they have delicious drinks. They also have Cuban coffee which I'd very strong.
Good place, high recommend.
