What an absolutely incredible restaurant. It was my first time trying Cuban food and definitely…read morewon't be my last. Parking can be a challenge here but you should be able to find some available street parking. When you enter Havana Cafe it feels authentic. I've never been to Cuba so of course take that with a grain of salt but I love the way they decorated and the music that was playing. Even though the restaurant is small we did not have trouble getting a 2 person seat. There were a few "reserved" tables as well so next time I visit I'll probably call ahead just to be safe Our waiter was incredible. Friendly, attentive, and offered some helpful suggestions. He was all of these things without being too pushy and made sure we felt properly checked on. I definitely recommend him but I wish I grabbed a name. For food we ordered a cheese and chicken empanada. Our waiter also brought out cilantro and habanero sauces. The empanadas were both incredibly crispy and filled will. The chicken was tender and had an intense but pleasant flavor. However, I think I preferred the cheese empanada. The sauces were both excellent as well. Even though I'm not a fan of cilantro I still liked this sauce! For dinner I had the fried sirloin with congris and fried yuca. The sirloin was perfectly tender and fried well. The yuca was also perfectly crispy while the congris was cooked well and had an excellent garlic flavor. I would definitely order this again. Some pictures made me think the portions would be small but I was satisfied after finishing my dish. We skipped dessert even though I was heavily debating trying the flan (maybe next time). My partner told me this was one of his "new favorite restaurants" which is high praise. I can not recommend Cafe Havana enough!

Life is short. F.....it up! Family,Flavor, Friends…read more Was out tonight in the area went to the supercharged go kart place up the street. But one is something better than what the Place offered for food. Saw this nicely highly rated place and decided to check it out. This is a small mom and pops Restaurant when you first walk in the aroma of all the spices and the cooking reminds you of something from home. It's a acquaint place probably only seats about 20 people. Sing a table you have the atmosphere of being in Cuba except that it was 25° and we're in New England so now to the food we got the fried pork belly the pork sandwich and the Cuban all were very nicely made good quality, quality quality of food. Excellent bread did they use each bite was very savory and felt like it was cooked by your mom. Definitely leave her in the area and you're looking for something different. It's a must check out..

Service: one very important thing to note is that the staff mostly do not speak english, although they did have an english menu. HOWEVER, one of the patrons came by and helped translate our orders for the waitress, which was representative of how friendly the whole experience was despite the language barrier. Food: we ordered a few cocktails and beers, which were all decent. My friends ordered the empanadas (delicious and would recommend), the whole fried tilapia ($20 for the platter which is good price imo). I ordered the meat entree platter which included fried pork belly, chicken, sausage, and beef. It was heavy, as expected, but both the tenderness and flavor were excellent. I'm not very familiar with Columbian food to rate this place objectively but overall I had a good time and would come back if I'm in the area.

We finally got to try this place! Hubby got some take out for lunch…read more We are both absolutely thrilled that there's a Puerto Rican place nearby now! Today was rice and beans, pollo guisado, and a salad with pique on it. Scrumptious! What made it even more special, is that the owner knows my husbands grandfather (in PR), and the person that took over his grandfather's restaurant. Real deal food with great pricing. Absolutely delicious. We'll definitely be back.

Alinas Convenience & Deli 28 Broadway…read more Taunton, MA Eaten here twice with the spouse. Joint is run by a young couple, and she cooks up a few different entrees daily with yellow rice, salad, and little red beans with sweet plantains fried. Large portions, great selection. Try the Jamaican beef patties and guava cheese empanadas. There's much more, and even Moxie. Worth eating inside your car, in some back alley behind the Courthouse. Speaking of which, they deliver and keep Courthouse hours. Close early Friday's, and at 7 otherwise. Best selection is at six AM. Worth the drive. I've included their menu. Cheers, PS. Had the brisket. Didn't photograph. Sorry. Twice, it was just that good. BBQ, Puerto Rican style two nights in a row. Spouse had pork shoulder and said it was awesome, like mother's from Colombia first night. Second had Caribbean BBQ ribs. No leftovers... Few places we can eat darned well for a twenty dollar bill.

I can only tell you if you want genuine Guatemalan food this is it. However, be warned that if your an old softy like me, bring your tissues. A flood of heart warming memories will be brought on.

Food, drinks, and service were all excellent and deserve genuinely five stars. Two stars for one…read morereason: our bill was automatically added with 12% gratuity but then tipping options of 18/20/22% options as if no gratuity exists. I noticed but tipped another 18% anyway because of good service but found this billing behavior unacceptable. (We were a group of three) Automatic gratuity is fine. Pairing it with a misleading tip prompt is not.

We were in Newport for the weekend and decided to detour to Providence on our way back home to eat…read moreat this place. We found street parking close to the restaurant and that worked well for us. We had about a 25 minute wait before we were seated as we expected. There were tons of people waiting for a table but they have a good system going and we got our table by the promised time. You are first provided complimentary chips with 3 warm dips (black beans and mild and spicy salsa) - they were really good. For appetizers we shared a garnacha and a chicharron and cheese pupusa. Portions were large and they were very tasty. We considered getting one main course to share but since we don't live close by decided to go for 2. This allowed us to have a lot of leftovers - enough for another dinner at home. One entree was aire, mar y tierra - delicious fried fish filet, well seasoned and grilled steak and chicken breast. That came with salad, rice, beans and a side of tortillas. We also had the caldo de marisco (seafood soup) and although not mentioned on the menu, our server mentioned that we could order a medium or large size. That came with a side order of rice. Fantastic soup! Restaurant is very lively and the noise level is high with groups enjoying their meals and having conversations. They have several televisions that were playing soccer games in the background as well as music playing in the background. A very energetic vibe. Another great meal and we will be back again in the future.
