Definitely a must try Cuban place came down for Thanksgiving, decided to take my sister and mother out to eat on that Tuesday . Read some local reviews and settled on introducing my mom and sis to Cuban food which i had experienced a few yrs earlier in Miami for my first timePlace didn't disappoint, excellent savory dishes, and refreshing cocktails. Friendly staff place was empty but dont let that fool yahh. Typical looking Latin place no frills.

It's been a while since I had good Cuban food in the DFW area and I'm so glad we found this spot. This restaurant sits in a strip mall with a few other restaurants. We'd tried the Puerto Rican restaurant a few doors down and loved it so we thought we've give Havana a try.We visited on a Sunday afternoon and there were only 2 other tables. The restaurant was clean, had plenty of tables, a bar, and a dance floor area. TVs were on broadcasting the soccer game. Our server was nice and helpful though there was a bit of a language barrier. That didn't matter to me because the food did all the speaking and she knew we were pleased with our empty plates. Now to the food. We ordered empanadas de camarones (shrimp) and yuca frita cubana as appetizers. The way I've been dreaming about those empanadas days later. Superb! For entrees, hubby ordered the Masas de Cerdo Frita (fried pork) with moro rice & tostones while I ordered the Camarones al Ajillo (garlic shrimp) with moro rice & plantains. I have no notes because our food was delicious. Everything was so flavorful. My hubby took my garlic sauce home to eat with his leftover pork. Lol.As a lover of Caribbean food, we'll be finding all the ways to get back here. I did see they had 2 for $20 lunch specials which I'm sure is a hit during the work week. I also saw the red snapper being delivered to another table and it looked so good. I'll be back soon

We were excited because of the good rating/reviews. We were disappointed. The food was mediocre at best. Portions smaller than any other Cuban place I have been too. Service was incredibly slow, and we were the only people in the restaurant. It took almost 45 minutes to get our food. She was on her phone while our teas were empty. It also seemed like a money grab to charge $3 for iced teas, and the .75 for each refill in very small cafeteria-like cups.

Cuban sandwich is very tasty and the bread encapsulated all of the good flavors together. The sweet plantains were made perfectly! The environment felt like I was a Cuban spot I use to go to in Florida all the time. Also recommend the Mango juice!

Wow! First and only place I've ever eaten Cuban food is in Miami and I've tried many places in the DFW area that claim to be Cuban but this one really is. I looked up menu before we drove down and had to make sure we could eat the same dishes we had at La Caretta in Miami and they did so we took off. I was optimistic but you never know. I know now. This place is awesome. There was only 1 server and he barely spoke English and he was awesome. He handled 4 tables of 4 and us and another couple came in while we were there. Nobody was wanting for anything and he was also the bartender. We started out with a pina colada which was wonderful and the spinach and manchego cheese empanadas. The pastry on the empanadas was crispy all the way thru and so tasty. No grease at all. They were awesome. I could eat an entire plate of these. For entrees Hubs had a Cuban sandwich because you have to at a Cuban restaurant and I had the Churrasco steak with yucca and black beans. Cuban sandwich was huge, took half home and was very good. Hubs said he prefers the pickles smaller but he loved it. My steak and the chimi-churri sauce was a party in my mouth. The yucca was fried perfectly, no grease taste at all and the black beans were the best I've ever had. Sorry Miami, these guys beans are better. Cannot wait to go back and try all the other menu items. If you like Cuban you have to try this place.

I had the saddest, and worst Cuban sandwich that I've ever tried. Missing- pickle, mustard and barely any mayo to speak of...I took one bite and knew something in the universe was wrong, so wrong. How can something so basic, so Cuban, be made so incomplete? And it wasn't just my sandwich, my friend's sandwich was incomplete as well! I know there are good Cuban sandwich's outside of Florida, this place just isn't one of them.

If you're looking for a hole in the wall, with really great food. This is the place. Place. I highly recommend it, we were in the area and decided to try something new. So Cuban it was. Glad we went in. It wasn't crowded on a Sunday.We decided to go with tapas instead of a regular meal. We ordered several tapas, empanadas, chorizo, chicken fried, fried yucca.All the food was really good. Well the service was a little slow, it's expected If you doing it a place that is giving out good food.Where we go back, yes we will

I'm from Miami Florida where Cuban restaurants are as plentiful as taco spots here in Texas. This is the best Cuban restaurant I've tried here in DFW. I had the ropa vieja with yuca al mojo, and it was delicious. I was too hungry or I'd have taken a picture. Has a full bar, and i hear the mojitos are where its at. Excellent friendly service, and great value plate size for price. Turns out they have Salsa nights on Saturdays, and live music now and then. I look forward to coming back soon!

I had the Cuban beef stew with Moro Rice and fried Sweet Plantains. Holy cow! Absolutely delicious. The service was excellent and the restaurant ambiance/ atmosphere are great. This place should be packed at lunchtime. I need to try a few more items but this place is on its way to being on my personal hidden gems list.
