Food was great. We had the Cuban sandwich and it was delicious! Very convenient for downtown!
I had never had a CUBANA Sandwich, and it was really good. REALLY GOOD!!! I was pleased to see that they took their time on making the sandwiches. Indeed, it is a complex sandwich. As I was sitting at one of the tables,, waiter brought over two glasses of water!!!
I've never really had Cuban food besides a cubano and items from Porto's (lol) so I was excited to try this place! Our group of 3 shared 3 different empanadas, all which were really good! I got the ropa vieja, which is the Cuban national dish, and it was super flavorful! The other two in my group got the steak and chicken, and both raved about their dishes. We got the churros with salted caramel ice cream (I think that's what the ice cream flavor was) for dessert, and the churros tasted fresh and the ice cream was really good! Would definitely recommend! Our server Ricky was super nice and helpful, answering all our questions about the menu.
It was my first time at Havana 1920 with my husband and son for Happy Hour and I have to say that I was very pleased with their HH drinks and food specials. The two story restaurant has such a cool Cuban/ Miami vibe to it which made me feel like I was away on vacation ;) I made a reservation since I didn't know if it would be super packed on a Friday at 200pm. Luckily, it wasn't when we got there, but more people started showing up when we left so I do recommend making a reservation. Our server was very pleasant and took down our orders, brought out our drinks and food. She did such an amazing job despite being the only server working the second floor. Nevertheless, she got the job done and we were extremely happy with her service and the restaurant itself! Plantain appetizers were very tasty, Mojitos were sooooo refreshing and not watered down like other places. Our bocadito platter and my son's bistec sandwich was pretty darn good. We will come again!
3.5 stars Got the ceviche tropical and ropa viejas sandwich. Both were solid not something I'd crave to return to. I think it was also because of the slow service, seemed like they forgot about me as I dined outside and alone. The food was flavorful and enjoyable and worth trying once.
After a show at the Civic Theater, we decided to explore the Gaslamp Quarter and passed by Havana 1920. The place is very inviting and relaxing, and most importantly, they had live music--I just loved it! We ordered their sampler platter. Everything was fresh, crispy, and delicious. The server was superb; we loved his enthusiastic vibe. Also, all the drinks were spot on!
