Restaurant

👍👍 Fresh and delicious food using quality ingredients at very fair prices. Great friendly waitress, and although food takes awhile to serve it is because they make it from scratch and take care in it. The crepe franz to finish it off was amazing with a rum shot and ice cream. People often mention good, service, delicious, Great, prices, great, nice,

    Go and enjoy great cuban cuisine. No employees pushing you to stay - you will be served by the sweetest waiters and they have wifi 🌸 the food was very delicious and they had all ingredients, which is not typical fur Cuba.Suggesting fried tappioca, sandwiches & pina colada. See the receipt 🧾 good money value. We will go there again during our trip :) Best Cuban place we found so far 😇🙏🏻

    3rd time in Havana till i found here try lots of places after found Mayrelis’s place never try anywhere. Reasonable prices, fantastic staff, great decoration inside, clean kitchen, perfect bar etc. Feels like a classy quarter latin coffee in Paris. One more thing this is the only place your tips goes directly to staffs pocket. Fair people Hope to see you again.

    One of the most friendliest place we've been in La Havane, the food tastes amazing and the mojito frappe... One of the best cocktails I've experienced so far, the girls were soo nice, we came back 2 or 3 times during our 2 weeks stay in Cuba. I highly recommand this place in La Havane :) Warm abrazo from France

    Excellent food, great service, wonderful owner, can't beat the location just off Cathedral Square. Gotta love the artistic touch to the dishes. Years pass by, quality remains a guarantee, well done!

    Stumbled onto this place for lunch while trying to get to the La bodeguita which was too packed. The frozen mojito was great and the lunch as well.

    Just returned from a week in Havana. This was one of our favourite places. There are 5 or 6 other restaurants on this alley. Loads of hustlers on the plaza. Ignore them and come here.

    The service was okay, the atmosphere pretty cool in the evening considering there's a nice band playing a few feet away but that's just it. The food just wasn't good but I found that at many places in Cuba. I had the chicken with a chocolate mint sauce but it still was quite bland and unseasoned to the taste.

    Food was fantastic. They're honest with their prices and very very helpful. Also the cats here are awesome

  • 5/5 Cortney B. 9 months ago on Google
    Great food and even better service. We asked for something off menu - and they made it for us! Highly recommend the virgin pina colada. We went back a second time we loved it so much. I’m a vegan and was able to eat rice, black beans, vegetables (ask to be sautéed in oil instead of butter), yucca, and tostones. All delicious. They do to go and have free WiFi. Their English was good as our Spanish is very much lacking.

    I don’t know…I didn’t like the food to be honest, I’ve had impression that my meal was cooked a long time ago and lost its fresh taste (I’ve tried ropa vieja). Cocktails were also not the best. Overall the place was ok, but definitely there’s room for improvement.

  • 4/5 Eddy C. 1 year ago on Google
    extremely friendly staff and delicious food! comparable to O'Reilly's 304, however a combo here will include a drink. targeted towards tourists, so pricing is inevitably highly, though still affordable

  • 5/5 Dmitry S. 11 months ago on Google
    Quick service, good food and low prices. Great to get a breakfast. They also have Wi-Fi.

    Perfect Cuban sandwich and excellent espresso.

  • 5/5 Tim S. 1 year ago on Google
    Among the best places in Havanna. Is located in a little alley with live music. There’s a lot of restaurants there, but this one was by far our favorite. Very good and cheap food, amazingly nice service (the only one that doesn’t talk you off the street)

  • 5/5 Sarah R. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food, fair prices, great service, pretty surrounds, and even wifi! What else can you ask for. I recommend the lemon crepe.

  • 3/5 Elizabeth W. 1 year ago on Google
    I rarely write bad reviews, but our meal here was far below expectations. In other reviews people seemed to like this place and the concept seemed interesting online, but in person we were disappointed. The menus are old and dirty and it's in a very touristy tight side street. The first dish, croquets, was cold in the middle. I ordered ropa vieja and was disappointed by the lack of creative flavor. I will say the servers were very kind and the mojito frappe was delicious, so it wasn't a totally bad experience.

  • 5/5 donna m. 5 years ago on Google
    Very nice outdoor dining. Waitress spoke English which helped to describe the dishes. Meal was relaxing and they let you sit until you ask for the bill. Restroom was single stall for men/women but it's large and fully stocked with soap and toilet paper.

  • 5/5 Sean M. 4 years ago on Google
    Picked this place because we weren't harrassed to come in. Try the Brazillian coffee but asked for it iced! Wish we were in the mood for lunch as everyone seemed to enjoy the food

  • 5/5 Predrag �. 4 years ago on Google
    Picked the place only because it was first one that had lobster on the menu and in the stock, but it turned out it was super good and service was excellent.

  • 5/5 Tim P. 6 years ago on Google
    Great food, nice presentation and reasonable prices. Don't get dragged into the other restaurants nearby instead (not sure what they are like) , they have people waiting to poach customers. It's worth pre-booking via your hotel or popping in beforehand.

  • 5/5 samantha j. 6 years ago on Google
    This was our first meal in Havana and it was amazing. We stayed for a few drinks after we finished which were half off because of happy hour. All the servers were great and seemed like they really cared about how you thought the food was. Great location as well!
