Someone told us to check out Havanazucar; and I'm glad we did. We got there when they first openedEd at 11am so everything was friesh, hot and delicious. They were serving bottom-less mimosas and let me tell you something; I haven't seen my wife smile this much since we got married . The staff is friendly, attentive and kept the mimosas flowing. It's a great spot whether you are riding solo or you are with your family. Will definitely be a staple spot when we are in the mood for Cuban food.

We wanted to try something different for lunch on a Saturday afternoon after running chores…read more Our order: Cubano sandwich with banana chips with a Coke. Pastrami sandwich with fries and an unsweetened iced tea First, the customer service at this small spot was great. Even though we ordered to go the cashier brought our drinks and food right to our table. Both sandwiches were top notch and muy delicioso. Cubano sandwich was filled with smoked grilled ham, Juicy roasted pork, cheese, pickles and pressed. It was served with the most amazing garlic aioli. I opted for the banana chips that were light and crispy and a perfect accompaniment to the sandwich. We also ordered a pastrami sandwich with fries. The fries were well seasoned and thin. Pastrami was so delicious however my only gripe is that it needed a touch more mustard. I shared some of my garlic aioli with my partner but hogged the rest for my other half of sandwich. Sandwiches were cooked to order, hot and fresh. The bread was soft with a slight crunch due to it being pressed. It was a very nice change from the usual burger or fried chicken fast food. We can't wait to go back !!

The atmosphere is nice and workers friendly. Our waitress was very sweet and helpful. My husband ordered his favorite, the fried pork chunks (she helped him pronounce it correctly in Spanish) and I got the pollo asada and roast pork combo. My husband was served a different pork dish so they went back to quickly make his correct order. It came back barely warm, and looked to be a Very small portion to what he's received many times in the past. Also unfortunately half were pieces of fat. My chicken, while tasty, was overcooked and not the juicy dish we've had many many times in the past. The beans, & plantains were delicious. Not sure if it's under new management or what but I really hope they up their game because it was always one of our favorites!

One day I was really hungry after the lunch rush, so I decided to give it a try--and I'm glad I did. The place was quiet, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious.

I also loved the music--very Latin/Caribbean, which adds a really nice vibe to the experience. Prices are reasonable too. I've been back a couple of times since then. Definitely a great spot if you enjoy or want to try Caribbean food.

The Palomilla sandwich had tough and chewy meat with a sad portion of broken up shoestring fries, and the top piece of bread was razor thin and falling apart, leaving it essentially open faced. See pics for more details. The beans were almost entirely liquid broth looking like the bottom of the pot than a proper side. The meal felt like it was put together from the end of the day leftovers sadly. I know there is new staff upfront and in the kitchen, but serving food in this condition is unacceptable. I'm posting this with photos in the hope that management sees it and gets quality control back to where it used to be.

Or last night and Buena Park Anahiem area. What a find!!!!…read more We were so happy with this place. Service was amazing place was beautiful. We felt underdressed. Everybody was to the nines in their attire. The hostess was so friendly and welcoming. She sat us on a high table in the outside patio area.

Our server was great (Migel) as well throughout the whole night he had about like maybe six or eight tables still managed to serve our table in an orderly manner, orders take drink orders and maintain it throughout the whole time we were there for dinner. Food here is so next level... The beautiful cuisine to match, so so delicious. Latin flare is alive and well here they had a live band from Miami. It was a cherry on top. It was PERFECT Definitely will be saving this place for future visits when in the area! Great food, service impeccable, and establishment clean, and well presented. Thanks for all make this place special. We enjoyed ourselves me and my family.thank you Migel for making it great.
