“Amazing choice for breakfast! I highly recommend! My pancakes were so good. Breakfast special has excellent choices for lower price than other places in SOBE. Bryan was amazing”

“We celebrated New Year’s Eve dinner at Havana Beach Restaurant on the iconic Ocean Drive, and it turned out to be the perfect way to ring in 2026. After walking away from another nearby restaurant due to disappointing service, we were delighted by the warm, welcoming hospitality from the moment we arrived. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely eager to make our evening special. Although they couldn’t locate our reservation at first, it wasn’t an issue—they had plenty of tables available and even let us pick our favorite spot. We settled in for several hours, savoring the vibrant atmosphere as we waited for the midnight fireworks. The food was outstanding. We started with one of their generous shareable platters, featuring fresh, flavorful items that were perfectly prepared. Our mains—the classic Ropa Vieja (shredded beef in a rich tomato sauce) and another shredded steak dish—were both tender, authentic, and absolutely delicious. The drinks were spot-on, with our server happily customizing them to our preferences and offering plenty of flexible options from the menu. A special shoutout to their fresh pico de gallo—it was bright, zesty, and addictive! To end on a sweet note, we enjoyed the creamy tres leches cake with a hint of cinnamon paired with bold espresso shots. The location couldn’t have been better: right on Ocean Drive, which was pedestrian-only for the New Year’s festivities, creating a lively, festive vibe. This evening at Havana Beach created lasting memories—exceptional service, delicious Cuban cuisine, and an unbeatable holiday atmosphere. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

““Maia was very adorable and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire experience. She paid attention to every detail and checked that nothing was missing. Her kindness and attentiveness really stood out and made everything feel welcoming and enjoyable. Great service”.”

“I was craving Cuban food and came across this cute, vibrant little restaurant. I ended up sitting outside and dining solo. I happened to be there during their 2 for 1 happy hour. A mojito is listed at $20, so essentially it’s about $10 each during HH. It was decent, nothing special. I ordered the beef empanadas to start and they were surprisingly very good. Juicy, flavorful, and the sauce they came with paired nicely. For my entrée, I went with the lechon asado (roast pork). The pork itself was tender and juicy, but the flavor was a bit on the bland side. It was served with moro rice and a side of yuca, which unfortunately came out a little mushy. An 18% gratuity is automatically added to the bill. Overall, it was a pleasant spot with a lively atmosphere, though the food was a bit hit or miss. Meh.”

“The food was delicious. The Ropa Vieja was really good as was the lechon. Extremely pricy, but that's on par for the area. Maia did fair but she let us know they are having issues with the tap water so we had to get a bottle, which ended up being 12 dollars!!!!! They should have simply given us the water. I saw another server give another patron a glass of water and he didn't have to pay for it... So I feel like she forced us to get the water so she could get more $ on the tip. Which is disingenuous. When I mentioned to her that they should have let us have the water, she acted like she didnt understand me. And she didn't see it from my prospective at all... I wish the lemonade was fresh and not concentrated, that would have been great it was also $10. They should also not let people smoke while sat, it ruined other people's experience. Ultimately I would not be back, which is unfortunate because the food really was delicious. But vastly over priced.”
