    Blue Agave is no more.  Sweet Havana has arrived.
    Mike P.

    FACT 1: Toledo needs more Cuban food. FACT 2: Sweet Havana fits the bill. FOOD: The food is pretty good. Is this the best Cuban food I've ever had? Nope. Is this the best Cuban food that I've ever had in Toledo? Probably. I've been here twice. Both times I placed takeout orders. The Ropa Vieja was very good. It was flavorful, spicy enough, and filling. I'd recommend that you top it with a little home made red sauce, and have it served over rice. Excellent dish! I will admit that I was a disappointed by the picadillo. IMO, it needed to be a little sweeter and a little less greasy. It, too, would have been better if served over a bed of rice. The yuca was better than expected, and the plantains were excellent. Also, I didn't see empanadas on the menu. Weird. Service: The service was excellent. On both occasions, I walked in, placed my order, and was on my way in less than 10 minutes. Everyone was friendly, and my order was right. Atmosphere: The owner has put some money and effort into making Sweet Havana comfortable. The TVs showing street action in Cuba are a nice touch. Great music. Soooooo. I plan to come back soon (the menu is full of great sounding items), but I'll probably skip the picadillo. So far, I'm giving Sweet Havana 5 stars, 'cuz it's the best Cuban food in Toledo!

    Ceviche fish and shrimp was on point!!

    Food was exceptional. Looks were deceiving but well worth it. I'll be back and it's 1.5 hours drive.

    The food and ambiance is great! The chicken breast was delicious, so is the Cuban sandwich! Service is great and attentive! Would definitely eat here again!

    Shrimp salad
    Joey K.

    Great food, service, and space. Ordered the pork belly with guacamole and tostones, yuca frita, ox tail special with rice and peas and salad, and the shrimp salad. Ended with churros. Food came quick, very fresh, and service was very accommodating. Excited to come back once they have their liquor license to try their drinks!

    First visit...met a friend for lunch on a Tuesday at 1pm. Sweet Havana was buzzing! Great vibe, great energy, perfect music, and nice surroundings. Staff was friendly and fun! Admittedly, I have had very little experience with Cuban cuisine, but I thought the the food here was fantastic...flavorful and seasoned perfectly. Will definitely be returning!

    Cuban Chicken Breast

    Food was good, staff was friendly, service was quick and atmosphere was perfect. What every restuarant should strive to be. I got the Cuban Chicken Breast dinner today and looking forward to the Picadillo and the Cuban Sandwich on future visits.

    As someone who lived in Miami for many years and ate at all the best Cuban spots regularly, I feel…read morelike I can be a little cocky when I say I really know Cuban food lol. I honestly wasn't expecting much, but I ordered the beef empanadas to start. As soon as they came out I could tell they were about to be good. *They were.* They were really good. And the sauce was the best accompaniment. I could tell they were homemade and made to order and after asking the server I was proven right. Very impressive. Now the best part, my pan con bistec. Beef was super tender & tasty. The Cuban bread was buttered and pressed. Overall excellent sandwich. It was like a Cuban grandmas pan con bistec but a little more upscale and w better ingredients. Again very impressed. Between the 5 star service (hostesses and servers were all very friendly & accommodating) the beautiful outdoor seating in a busy downtown area, or the authentic, DELICIOUS Cuban food - I highly recommend Vicentes!

So we got there and we were the only ones there, it was 4:30 in the afternoon on a Friday so not much really going on, we got seated right away. The server brought us out waters and I ordered a Havana Hurricane, it was okay but did taste a little weak and I ordered the Lobster bisque soup and the Salmon à la Parilla. The Lobster Bisque was delicious but the salmon had NO flavor at all and it came with 2 plantains, spinach and rice. The Plantains had more flavor than the whole dish. The fish tasted like it just came right out of an Aldi's package and put right into the oven, just bland, even the rice and spinach had no flavoring, all you could taste was lemon and fish, lots of lemon. The staff were really nice but the food, I couldn't do it again. Sorry it just wasn't for me and I love fish.

But the Aji de Galina is by far THE BEST item on the menu! It is an incredible Creamy Chicken and Rice dish with such a unique flavor that is literally addiciting.

And the service is unbelievably fast for a sit down restaurant; place your order at the counter, get your drinks and within five minutes you get your food.

The bowl itself was probably 80% white rice which is why I'm giving it 3 stars. I would not order it again. It was about $16. The food was ready quickly and and the inside was really nice. If I did go back I'd get the lomo Saltado, which is what I typically get from Peruvian places, but paying $16 for 2 cups of white rice and a couple pieces of chicken wasn't worth me actively making an effort to go back. I do think they make and sell plantains but these ones were made by me. I think they were really necessary in the bowl and I'd highly recommend ordering some if you decide to get this bowl.

We went with a basic (honestly anything but) burger with bacon, sweet chili mayo and shoestring fries on top. It was one of the best things I ate all weekend. With a limited time in Detroit I even considered going back for a second time. We also tried their mini churros which may be the cities best cheap it. $1 per mini churro which honestly aren't even that mini is a screaming deal that everyone should know about. They were hot, flavorful and the hint of orange was a lovely addition. Had we not been stuffed I would've ordered more, do not skip on this.

It's obviously just like the Ann Arbor location but substantially less busy (thank goodness.) I walked in and it's a smaller version of what I'm used to. Menu is up on the wall and the two gentleman at the counter were friendly and helped me place my order. I went with a burger with muenster cheese with an egg on top along with their coleslaw instead of fries. The coleslaw was actually really good! (not all coleslaws created equal. Let me tell you about it!) My food did take a while to come out but it was quite delicious. I forgot they have water jugs at the table and I could've gone without the sprite, but it was a throwback bottle in the glass bottles and I couldn't resist. I know they have the benches to encourage community and getting to know other people outside of your party, but sitting there makes my butt and back sore after a while. Place is clean and well organized which I loved, and it's in the district so you're a stones throw from the ballpark. Overall a fabulous experience and worth stopping by on a very hot July afternoon.
