I've been to Cuba Cafe several times. Sometimes I go for the drinks and sometimes for the food. Either way, you can't go wrong. Delicious food at good prices and drinks served wit...

Worst

I went with girlfriends for Happy Hour after work on Friday evening to have some light dishes and mojitos. When we arrived at about 6:15pm, we were told that Happy Hour drinks are...

mojito heaven 1/16/2007

If you want the best mojitos this is the place to get them.We sat at the bar and watched the bartender muddle the limes and mint,he shaked the mixture up and poured them.As soon as we tasted them we told him you better start making two more.After a few ,We ordered some tapas at the bar,everything was very good even the music was great. Pros: GOOD STRONG DRINKS more

Poor, poor food ... but good atmosphere 10/8/2006

We wondered around Chelsea looking for a fun place to eat. We definitely found it at Cuba Cafe. The atmosphere was great! Fun lights lit up the bar, and it had a very cool ambiance. HOWEVER, the food was bad!!! We had ceviche (gross red stuff on it), fried oysters (you had to find the oyster through all the breading), salad (which was actually quite decent), and grilled shrimp (again, poor). I would not recommend eating here unless you are only having a drink at the bar. The pina coladas were pretty tasty! :) Pros: Pina coladas, lit up bar, atmosphere Cons: FOOD!!! more

Mediocre food... 9/5/2006

I don't know what it was but I wasn't too crazy about this place. The seafood paella wasn't all that great and it was very sandy too, I remember. I can't comment further because that's all I had. I'm not too fond of the decor either, a bit too tacky for my taste. But other than that, everyone else at the restaurant seemed to be having a wonderful time, which sets a good ambience. Service was decent. Pros: so far, only the service Cons: food more

The only thing missing was Castro himself 8/2/2006

Im a mojito drinker,Cuba cafe rates number one in my book.I sat at the bar and watched the bartender make it from scratch.After two mojitos I ordered a few appetizers from the bar menu.I was in Cuba two years ago and Cuba cafe is the next best thind to it.Try the empanada sampler and the roasted pork loin. Pros: you don t have to go to Havana more

Fantastic 5/8/2006

I lived in Miami, among thousands of Cubans for 5 years and never had a Cuban meal in a restaurant that was better than mediocre. No cheap ingredients, overly-salted meat, or plain-jane recipes here. I ordered the empanadas sampler, crab croqueta, and something else I don't remember but I remember (all appetizers) thinking this was the best Cuban meal I had ever eaten. A fine and complex mix of nuevo-latino ingredients make you aware that every bite closer to the end of the meal is the sad reality that you won't have food this good again soon, most likely. The wine on the table that the waiter tried to push was rather embarassing, so we ordered a reasonably priced bottle of Chilean Cabernet for $24 that turned out to be divine. The decor was a bit tacky, but the food more than makes up for it. Pros: Delicious, Reasonable wine price Cons: Food a bit pricey more

Below my expectations 10/30/2005

this food lacks authenticity. i had the pollito and it was served to me RAW! i sent it back and it still came to back to me pink. The sangria was great and the cheese filled bread was fantastic. the menu didnt resemble anything that I am used to and neither did the taste. Pros: sangria, good service Cons: food! more

Strong drinks, not too authentic though 9/27/2005

The ropa vieja wasn't quite right. I've have much better in Tampa, Orlando, and Miami. The food is not memorable. I miss Tropigrill/Pollo Tropical. The sangria was pretty strong. Everyone in the whole restaurant had a mojito, including my friend. Pros: popular mojitos, endless water refills Cons: not authentic more

Tremendous Flavors! 8/17/2005

Just go there. The mojitos are super and the mussels are the most unique and best I have ever had. Seafood is terrific and the chicken and others are up there, too. Pros: Food, Drinks Cons: Music more

so much fun 8/22/2004

my boyfriend and I stopped in for drinks and appetizers. I loved their mojitos. They played great latin music and we had such a great time. The service was very friendly. We would definitely go back again. Pros: food, music, drinks more

Cuban? Maybe. Good? Yes. 7/5/2004

The decor is a bit gaudy, but the food is not. We have had the mussels in coconut sauce twice and we are totally addicted! And the warm, complimentary cheese bread (available for dinner only) is a worthwhile treat. We've tried a number of entrees, and have yet to stumble on anything below a ""6"". Although everything tastes too rich and creamy to be considered diet fare. It's not really authentic Cuban cuisine, but it's still a good meal (almost like comfort food) at a decent price. Pros: Good food, Good service more
