The Cuban sandwich was perfectly pressed and packed with flavor, and the fried pork with onions was tender, seasoned perfectly, and absolutely delicious alongside the yellow rice and black beans. Every bite tasted homemade and authentic. The atmosphere made the experience even better. The walls were filled with quirky, fun artwork, vintage Cuban décor, and old antique signs that gave the restaurant so much character and charm. You could tell a lot of love and personality went into creating the space. The staff and owner were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. Great food, great people, and a fun atmosphere -- definitely a place we'll be coming back to whenever we're in Bartow!"

WORST CUBAN SANDWICH - EVER!…read more Last Saturday, I was really craving a Cuban Sandwich. I saw the reviews on Havana Delights and decided to try it out. First, let me start by saying that I was born in Cuba. I came to the US and lived in Miami most of my life. I know Cuban food. When I walked into the restaurant on a Saturday at 1 P.M. and the place was totally empty - my instincts told me to turn around and walk away, but I didn't. BIG MISTAKE! I looked at the menu and saw a 12" Cuban sandwich for $13.50. I figured - hum - I'll eat half now and take the other half for dinner tonight. Well, that didn't quite work out. Look at the pictures I've posted. I got the sandwich and WOW! WHERE'S THE BEEF! This sandwich is a joke! Although, this sandwich tasted good (Of Course, take Cuban bread put butter on it and toast it - of course, it is going to taste good). But this is NOT a Cuban sandwich! Well, I should also mention that besides this horrible excuse for a Cuban sandwich, the service was bad! Since my food was served, the server totally ignored me. Never came by and asked how the food was or was there anything I needed. Trust me, if he had asked how the food was, I would have told him! If this review sounds a little angry, my apologies. I try to be positive in my reviews, but this bad representation of a Cuban sandwich does upset me. After I came in, a couple entered the restaurant and ordered the same thing I had. I was tempted to tell them that the Cuban Sandwich which they ordered is not a typical Cuban Sandwich. But, I didn't want to possibly disrupt their lunch, so I did not say anything. It bothers me that this couple will walk away with this misrepresentation of a Cuban sandwich. Please if you come to this place. Take what I have said with a grain of salt and don't walk away with disappointment. Try other places and enjoy a true Cuban Sandwich.
