The food here at Cafe Havana was great. There were so many different items to choose from on the menu. We ended up going with the chicken quesadilla, pork chop dinner, chicken soup and mixed fajitas. Everything was fresh and delicious. read more

The rest of the food was acceptable but the place saying this is the home of the Cuban sandwich then serving this is another form of comedy I wasn't ready for. The service was fine but I can't stop thinking about this dang sandwich they shredded maybe 2 slices of pernil but the last time I got this it was fine. Maybe because I ordered a small sandwich but I'll give them another chance. read more

Cafe Havana - The home of the Cuban sandwich - Cuban Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Went there for the Cuban. Not bad, but very light on the mustard, that was only on part of the bread. Of course, it's NP, I just asked for a side of mustard and mayo. When the bill came, I learned they CHARGED us for them! 0.75 for each side of condiment (which was very small)! Who does that? Ridiculous! read more

Great food! Amazing latin flavor. Service was quick and excellent. Delicious Cuban authentic food. Recommended

The food was wonderful the service was great I would return here just for this. Great value. My husband I split the sandwich and got the grande well worth the stop. read more

Everything you expect, but better! Excellent cuban coffees. I loved the Crochet also.

We took a group of 13 family members here for authentic hole in the wall place. Sometimes with a large group it's hard to hear others at the table. Not here it was quiet and comfortable. The food was excellent and very authentic. The service was also excellent. We treated well and they seemed thankful that we chose their restaurant to eat. Great job! read more

Ordered a Cuban Sandwich which according to them they're Known For. Worst Cuban ever, if there was pickle mustard and cheese on it couldn't prove it especially after taking the sandwich apart to look for the1 piece of pickle they put in. Very very disappointing sandwich read more

It's a quiet place with a relaxed atmosphere. It's not a fancy restaurant, but the food is super delicious and full of flavor. The service was good .I think the waitress was new, but she was very kind. The coffee was amazing, and everything was very clean! read more

Very friendly. Love the Cafe Con Leche blend. I'm a croquettas connoisseur and theirs are solid+ Eggs and toast with them was a nice breakfast read more

If this is the home of the Cuban sandwich, you're probably don't want to go "home." Food was acceptable, but not exceptional. The sandwich tasted like a typical sandwich shop. And why they don't offer chips at least with a sandwich makes no sense? Everything is extra! Why don't servers realize that a smile and being pleasant increases their tip and bottom line? read more

I love this place. The service is amazing. I love there bacon, Edd and cheese sandwiches for breakfast. I do t know what it is, maybe the bread but it's simply amazing. read more

Was driving by and saw this place. Read the reviews and decided to give it a try. At first you're like, this is next to a convince store but I love trying places like this. Hidden gem! Now let's start by saying I'm a chef so I'm picky about how my steaks are cooked. This Churrasco was cooked to PERFECTION! The yuca is was perfectly cooked and no mushy. My boyfriend ordered the white rice and beans with his Churrasco and the beans did not disappoint and were packed with flavor. I haven't had good Cuban food in a long time and if I'm ever in the area again visiting on vacation, I will definitely take the drive here again. Also took a cafe con leche home and it was amazing. read more

I stopped going there because the quality of the food is no longer as good as it used to be. The coffee was the best and they don't make it the same anymore read more

Incredible local Cuban food and coffee . Their sandwiches are amazing and great portion size . The black beans and rice is our fave ! The guava pastry is something I treat myself to each time I come and visit . read more

I went in today after looking at these ratings and got a steak sandwich. Three other people came in after me and got their food before me, which wasn't a problem. Just saying... When I received my steak sandwich, there was hardly any steak in it or onions just the potato sticks. The steak was mini crumb size pieces. I call this a bread sandwich, no flavor for 14$ and won't be back, although being a family business I paid the tip during my payment assuming this would be good. I'll look elsewhere. And a better attitude by the cook would have been nice. Grumpy guy. Lol Don't wast your money. Peace! read more

Located in the beautiful town of Onecco, you will find a small shop that looks like a diner attached to the back of a gas station. Only come here if you have some time to spend, otherwise you can do pick-up. It has taken us up to two hours to eat here before during the lunch rush. It may not look crowded, but it is more than they can handle. I recommend this joint for dinner because there are a lot less customers and a relaxed atmosphere. There are coolers in the back where you can pick out your favorite ethnic soda, I recommend Young Coconut Juice or a can of Watermelon Soda ($1.50 import). They make amazing milkshakes ($2.75) in flavors like guanabana, papaya, and mango. They also have Sugar Cane Juice that are made to order. If you are into Yucca fries, they sure have some great ones, served with Mojo dipping sauce. I recommend their Chicken Empanada ($2.50) filled with shredded dark meat chicken, lime juice, cilantro, and green olives. Their Ham Croquettes ($1.50 for two), deep fried and crusted, filled with a soft blend of ham and starch. Their Spicy Crab Ball is also great too, filled with spicy red crab meat covered in breadcrumbs. Their Maduro (Sweet Plantains) are the best I have yet to have at a restaurant. They are ripe and sweet covered in a chewy sticky sugar coating. They have many sandwiches ($6.00) to choose from, and they are sure crispy , delicious, and filling. However, I recommend getting their special for the day, which is usually a meat with a side of rice and beans with some plantains. I definitely recommend their yellow rice, it is flavorful and buttery. I am not fond of their beans, they taste bland to me, but their maduro is amazing. There are many places in the area that will charge an arm and a leg for Columbian or Cuban food. This is not one of them, and it is not pretentious or discriminating either. Be prepared to have an enjoyable home cooked meal, and to be treated like part of the family. read more

For delicious Cuban food on a budget this is the place. Come casual with a group, a couple, or by yourself. The Cuban steak sandwich is delicious and huge. They are known for their authentic Cuban sandwich, made perfectly. Daily lunch specials help with deals for $8.89 that on this day included a 9" Cuban sandwich with Black bean soup and a 20 oz Coke. read more

What amazing Cuban food! I always start with the appetizer warm Cuban bread with butter. Today I ordered a chicken quesadilla, side of yellow rice and black beans, and some sweet plantains. I was in heaven. I also tried their mango smoothie made with water which was refreshing and delicious. read more

Upon arrival, the waitress said you needed reservations, while the other waitress said the opposite. Whenever we asked questions, the waitress was short, unfriendly, with her answers. At the end of services, the waitress was filtrious. Very unprofessional. Her personal number given on the back of the card. Never come back to this place. read more

I came in with my dog because I was walking him and wanted to grab a Cuban sandwich and the owner kindly let me in since I was getting takeout. The staff behind the counter were also very nice, I spoke Spanish to them but they could also speak English. I got the full sized sandwich and it was so big that I only ate one half and got full. Very good taste that is consistent with other Cuban sandwiches I have tried. read more

Stop in here a few weeks ago to have lunch. I remember coming here a few years ago but I really didn't remember too much about it so it was more like my first time. the Cuban is supposed to be amazing here but the Piccadillo seemed amazing so I did what any food-obsesses person would do..... got both. I also ordered a side of Cuban rice however my only regret is not sticking with the medium sized portion that I originally ordered. The waiter talked me into getting a small but it was so delicious I could have easily in the medium or large order. I will definitely return. read more

My coworkers and I were craving some good Cuban so we came here. The place is a diner type right attached to a gas station. Location is definitely no frills. I ordered a cubano media noche and fresh squeezed Orange juice. It was smaller than a regular cubano and it was decent. The juice was very good and fresh. However, I would probably order a different entree next time. Their app bread and butter is delicious because they press the bread perfectly. All in all, I probably would not go back as there are better Cuban restaurants around. But if you're in the area and want something decent then it's a good choice. Their bathrooms were also very clean which I appreciated. read more

Service was great, food was authentic Cuban and delicious. I enjoyed the plantains and sangria. We will go again.

BYOM. .75 extra for mustard ? Really. How embarrassing. Been coming here over 20 years

Stopped for luch. So very glad we stumbled upon this jem! Everything we ordered was delicious. I wish we had ordered the special after I saw it go by. And the pastry in the case made me want to come back for breakfast. read more

This is a $13.04 sandwich with a $2 cash tip in the jar. Fool me once. Never again, I feel like my pocket was picked here. Unfortunate. read more

Cafe Havana - Cuban Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

DELICIOUSLY authentic! Everything was super tasty. Very attentive service and prices very reasonable. . Our new go to Cuban restaurant!!

Maybe two stars. The interior is beat. Near the back, the ceiling tiles are soiled from leaks and displaced wires hang haphazardly through the tiles. The floor tile and booths are outdated. So, the ambiance is -zip. We ordered a Cuban sandwich and a steak sandwich. They arrived in tin foil on a plate with nothing else. No chips, no slaw, no silverware. The waitress was polite but only checked on us once near the end of the 'meal.' When I asked her about her Cuban ancestry, she said she was Mexican (and she spoke fluently with management). At this point, for me, I am not convinced that this was authentic Cuban cuisine. read more

The portions are big and fresh. We ordered 2 regular sandwiches. The Cuban sandwich I ordered had mayo,it only needs mustard,pickles,cheese,pork and the original Jamon Serrano and not just a cold cut ham... I like the freshness of it but it wasn't a true cuban one. My husband ordered the lechon one and it was very good. The "yuca frita" was delicious. Very courteous and friendly staff. read more

Was looking for a restaurant with Cuban sandwiches and found this place. I walked in and waited for the hostess to be seated. No one came; but there was a line where people were ordering so we thought we had to go through the line and then be seated. We placed our order then sat at a table. While waiting a man came over to give us menus. I explained we had ordered already because we thought you had to order at the counter. He yelled and stated I should have waited to be seated by a hostess and that I needed to take my food to go since I ordered it at the counter. I could not believe how rude he was. I took my food to go and we ate it in the car. The food was mediocre at best. We won't be back. read more

The food was great but the only thing that really got to me is that the owner/manger takes the tip money from his works and employees the money u give ur server the owner takes it for himself read more

Please find another Cuban spot around town, I do not recommend this place. Some 20+ years of service are seemingly coming to an end. Last time I came it was nothing but subpar food and bad service. On top of that, the business owner justifies a servers bad behavior despite agreeing the server was "naturally a rude person". Beware. read more
