Cocktail Dirty Martini #1 fabulous. #2 Meh.... Glass of Wine Yum! And Espresso Martini (no disrespect) I have had better. Flan for dessert was absolutely amazing. I arrived 5:30pm to a reserved seat for someone at 7pm. Was told I would have to move when they arrive. I agreed with no issue. I left at 7:35pm; no one showed up! Why for my stars! I felt neglected at some points. They were talking to other guests that I assume come often. They other guests leave and the door was opened by the bar staff to thank them. I leave and no one opened the door for me. I am pretty sure I spent more money than they did. Hence, my 2 hour 5 min meal. Please know; I grabbed my ear pods and entertained myself. So I was content. Fabiano, you were great!

It's a day later and I'm still thinking about this food! Wow, what an absolute GEM. The tres palmas mofongo was so moist and flavorful (looooved the garlic cream sauce, which they give in abundance) and a notable portion size which was refreshing to see. The shrimp, chicken and steak were all so flavorful with herbaceous undertones. They worked so well together. WOULD RECOMMEND. It was 10/10. The staff was so kind and accommodating! The fried pork main dish was fried HARD but not dry. Just lots of crunch and flavor. The sauce it came with was perfect for dipping though. The beans were delicious and went perfectly with the fluffy white rice. The cute little outside area was perfect to sit and eat during a beautiful day. It's rare that you find a Puerto Rican restaurant this authentic off the island. I felt transported. Will 100% be back!

Avoid the coffee at Havana Cafe unless you enjoy paying premium prices for something barely…read moredrinkable. This morning, we were served what can only be described as tepid, stale, weak coffee--at a staggering $15 for two cups. It wasn't just disappointing; it was borderline offensive to call it Cuban coffee. True Cuban coffee is bold, rich, dark, and unmistakably strong. What we received was the opposite: a pale gray liquid with a suspicious, artificial flavor, as if something had been added to mask its age or poor quality. Temperature? Lukewarm. Strength? Nearly nonexistent. Authenticity? Zero. If you're expecting a proper Cuban coffee experience, this is not the place. It misses the mark on every level. For anyone in Gulfport who actually wants real Cuban coffee, go to Pipos in St Pete; it's worth the drive. Their coffee is exactly what it should be--strong, flavorful, and authentic. No comparison. Havana Cafe should either fix their coffee immediately or stop advertising it as Cuban. As it stands, it's overpriced and deeply disappointing.

Last time I went in I got the drunken shrimp and a cup of black bean soup, which were both very flavorful and tasty. I loved both dishes and the Cuban bread to dip was an amazing touch.

The obligatory chips and salsa were very good and we ordered the queso which was also very good. Then the main course food arrived. The only saving grace was that the rice and black beans were very tasty and not spicy. I ordered the number 3 combination. The beef hard taco was good, however the enchiladas were so spicy that I couldn't eat them. Some type of terrible green sauce made them so hot I almost gagged. Tex mex should be spiced after serving, in my opinion, not during cooking. Traditional Mexican food is not super hot. This was so spicy it burned my throat and I sent them back after powering through.

Service was slow, and the pricing is absurd for what you get. Two street tacos ran almost $15 each taco was basically just a shell with a finger's-length portion of shredded protein, nothing else. The shredded pork and brisket tasted dry and bland, like they'd been sitting in a warmer for hours. On top of that, the sides are a joke: almost $4 for a tiny, maybe four-bite portion of rice or refried beans, and they even charge extra for sour cream. The rice was cold and under-seasoned, the beans tasted straight out of a can, and there's no lettuce, no pico de gallo, no real options. When I asked about swapping in black beans instead of refried, I was told they simply don't offer that. At these prices, you're paying for the downtown St. Pete location, not the food. This felt like a scam -- tiny portions, upcharges on everything, and food quality that reminded me of something you'd get in prison. I've lived in this area my whole life and won't be recommending this place to anyone, especially tourists in the summer. Given that the previous original red Mesa restaurant here didn't survive either, and that got shut down I understand why.
