Food and service was incredible. The woman that served us was very helpful, and super friendly. The food portions are pretty big and have good prices; I split 1 sandwich and an appetizer sampler with a friend and we could barely finish. The cubano was amazing, and the sampler had a lot of variety in flavors. I'm from out of town, but when I come back I will absolutely make this a destination, and if you're a local I'm very jealous.
Went for a quite lunch off the beaten strip had the Empanadas the Chicken was dry but Beef was very good. The Black Bean Soup which was tasty but we thought it was odd to be served with white rice as opposed to yellow rice. Then finished with a traditional Cuban Sandwich.
Very good Cuban food served up by a friendly husband and wife team.
The restaurant stayed busy the whole time we were there so service was a little slow, but the tasty food made up for it .
Items ordered:
Tamal Cubano - A definite must try!!!
Cubano
Camarones al Ajillo - (shrimp in garlic sauce)
Ropa Vieja. - spicy
Oh my god! The fiod was great! There was a lot of people dining and waiting when we walked in. The reason was dwfinitely the
food. Servers were super busy but still attentive and great with suggestions. Even offered to downsell us on the apps but we opted for the taste of Cuba - large! It was large but awesome. Would definitely reccomend, this would be a regular for me if i didnt live in VA!
Ok but nothing special. Me.... Ok but nothing special.
Mediocre ambiance, some food was pretty good (fried red snapper with ceole sauce) others not so good (driest rice n beans ever). I'm not convinced the server was rude, I just don't think he understood our questions, but he worked for the table. In short I was with good company and we all had a good time.
Great food and service. We came in for an early dinner and were not disappointed. The waiter was excellent and appropriately attentive. We have had little experience with Cuban food, so I cannot comment on the authenticity, but what I can say is that what we had was delicious!
I had the seafood stew that was served in a tomato-based sauce. The sauce was excellent and the seafood all cooked perfectly. The Cuban rice was prepared with thought and care, and was delicious, as were the plantains served with it.
We will be back in Orlando for a conference, and will definitely return here.

Eatin' here's no woe, if ya want Cubano!. While doing the water parks, games and the like recently with the kids and grand kids, my wife and I had a few moments to enjoy some quiet and culinary time. After the dogs, burgers, quick foods and tourist gyrations in and around Orlando, we decided to try some local Cuban flavor. Our choice was Havana’s Cuban Cuisine (aka Havana Café). Although not a bad choice, and I cannot heartily complain about the food, its relative authenticity and the service – I was somewhat dismayed that it turned out to be more of a tour bus drop point, than a go-to local’s Cuban eatery! When we arrived, between lunch and dinner times, the place was empty. We thought great, we have the place to ourselves – and so it was. It was as we were departing that (luckily) the tour buses began to arrive! Never-the-less, having beat this crowd, we actually enjoyed a quiet meal starting with an appetizer of fried plantains (mariquitas) and Sangria. We went on to try their: Fried Yuca (yuca frita); my wife’s Red Snapper in Sauce that was overwhelming and nothing to write home about (the sauce was virtually impossible to identify its components) – actually not even close to be Cuban at all; the Plantain Chips were OK; and I had their Seafood Creole – Cuban Zarzuela, although pretty good, not close to the best I’ve ever had (the fish and seafood and ingredients were fresh, but lacking in traditional Cuban flavor); I washed it all this down with a Presidente Beer. We decided to take with us their renditions of the Cuban Sandwich and the Media Noche for another meal later on – both sandwiches were pretty good. We ended our quiet afternoon there with a Cortadito! All in all, it could have been a better experience, considering the ambience, décor and service was above average, and their customer attention slightly above par. Don’t go thinking you’ll have a great Cuban meal and you’ll leave happy – so don’t expect, and you shall enjoy.
The Real Deal. We love Cuban food, and Havana Cafe knows how to cook it. We tried it for lunch, and started with their "famous" plantain chips, which are lengthwise slivers of plantains, fried with garlic. They were tasty, if a little greasy.
The classic Cubano sandwich was also delicious. The Cuban bread makes this sandwich a winner, and it was large enough to take half home to enjoy later.
Service was okay, if a bit slow, which we find to be the case in practically every Cuban restaurant we have ever dined in. I don't know if it a cultural thing or what. We weren't in a hurry, so it was not an issue for us. We still were in and out in less than an hour. The atmosphere is pleasant, with darker colors and Latin music playing in the background.
Never had Cuban food before but my wife and I tried this place on a whim. It is wonderful!
Great ropa vieja and pollo a la palomia. Fantastic service as well.
Delicious authentic Cuban fare. Loved the sampler appetizer and the main course of Lechón Asado was tender and juicy

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Havana's Cuban Cuisine and I have to say, it was a wonderful experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy ambiance that immediately made me feel at home.
But let's get to the food. Oh my goodness, where do I even begin? The Churrasco con Camarones was an absolute delight. The steak was perfectly cooked to my liking, and the addition of the succulent shrimp was a fantastic touch. The dish was beautifully presented and the flavors were well-balanced and absolutely mouth-watering.
And the Masitas de Puerco? Simply amazing. The pork was cooked to perfection, with a crispy exterior and a tender, juicy center. The seasoning was spot-on and the dish was bursting with flavor. I could easily have eaten a second plate of this dish!
Overall, I cannot recommend Havana's Cuban Cuisine enough. The food is absolutely outstanding, the service is impeccable, and the atmosphere is welcoming and cozy. If you're looking for a fantastic dining experience, look no further than Havana's Cuban Cuisine. And if you go, make sure you try the Churrasco con Camarones and the Masitas de Puerco- you won't regret it! Five stars all around!
Nice small place. Service was great they were very attentive. Had the rabo it was good lacked tomato sauce so did the Ropa Vieja. Spoke with the owner said that is how they did it. The tamale was great!! And the beef empanadas lacked tomato sauce as well.
At first I was kinda skeptical, the restaurant was completely empty and the plaza wasn’t that busy but I am so glad we found this delicious Cuban restaurant. The food was very good, cooked perfectly and authentic. We will definitely be back when we are in town.
Side note- I recommend the Ropa Vieja and tres leches cake.
Nice clean restaurant with a nice atmosphere! Food was delicious, and service was great. Highly recommended
This was a highlight of my trip. The Montuno Havanero was delicious (pork, tamale, rice & beans, yuca, and fried plantain). Loved my Alhambra beer and coconut flan as well. Very friendly and fast service. Looking forward to coming back the next time I’m in Orlando!
Amazing good quality food. The the skirt steak with vegetables was amazing. I had the best vanilla flan I’ve ever had here. The staff is very great. Our waiter, the bald guy, was the friendliest and most informative! Will be back when I come back to Orlando.
Place was empty and it took a while for service but the food was amazing. Tamales were delicious. Ropa vieja too and good congris. Ripe plantains were yummy. We found it a bit pricey though and the portions were ok. The flan was really tiny but good taste.
Excellent. The staff was as incredible as the food. We had our hearts set on coco bongos at Disney springs and was disappointed it was closed so we tried it here and we were so impressed!!!! Great place clean and friendly!
A humble restaurant with a nice atmosphere. We were treated very well. Felt like we had our own personal waiter. Very professional on how he introduced the meals . There were five of us and each enjoyed our meals. If you are NOT use to “ Spanish “ flavors and seasonings, you may not enjoy your meal. Each of us have our unique taste buds and enjoy food differently. I myself enjoyed the seasoning of my dish, it was an Experience. May you too, enjoy this small, humble and very nice restaurant.
