Guantanamera Restaurant

I’m from Havana, been craving Cuban food in New York and this is the best tasting place I’ve found. Flavors are amazingly on point. That being said the menu does have some “Mexican” hints like tacos and some other items that is not part of the Cuban cuisine but very tasty non the less and of course got to cater to the communities where you live.

Was driving by and saw the sign for Cuban food and decided to give it a try. It was an all day Happy Hour for Tuesday so any flavor margheritas were $7 . We had 3 each. Our bartender Jeancarlo was amazing and helpful. And kept the drinks coming. Very good happy hour marg. Didn’t taste watered down. For dinner we had the Fried Snapper with tostones and a salad. The snapper was amazing , fried but not greasy and flavorful but not salty cooked to perfection! We even ate the eyeballs which I heard they eat. Also ordered the lamb chops with mashed potatoes in a creamy mushroom sauce , I ordered medium they’re ere cooked perfect to temp and I didn’t need to add any salt or pepper to my dish. The place was calm and quiet on a Tuesday but I will be back as I heard they have live music!! Overall enjoyable experience !

First time here tonight. Wasn’t very busy. Very quiet and calm place overall. All the food was good EXCEPT the chicken - it was just terrible and expensive. My dog can cook better chicken that this place. But the rest was good - tostones, rice, beans, fish, beef, and the tiramisu. The other chocolate dessert wasn’t very good. I also ordered a mango batido in milk and it wasted terrible. There was also live music here, although they only sang 3 tracks; however, it was lovely. The place has a bar too with a medium-sized TV and one small-sized TV with sports. Overall, pretty good place to come at night to eat with the family.

Came here for a quick dinner date and it was a solid options. Cocktails were amazing. I would come back here just for the drinks. Never really had Cuban food but it was decent for my first time trying it. I would definitely come back and try more options. Definitely worth checking this place out if you want something different
