The food did not disappoint. It was extremely flavorful. We ordered Camarones Salteados and the Cuban sandwich. The service was on point, friendly and attentive. The drinks were just OKAY, could've been better. The only issue I had was the table wasn't clean and the floor under our table was full of crumbs. The restaurant was empty during the time we went Monday, approximately 1:45pm, so there was no excuse for any seating areas to be uncleaned, when multiple staff were present. We did move to another table. But overall, I would return, as the food was tasty, fresh, and hot (made to order).
This was my first time trying Cuban food, and I enjoyed trying the new flavors! The tamales were excellent, as well as the rest of the "Tour of Cuba" and other sampler plate. The coconut fish was excellent and the chicken was pretty good. The Cuban rice and beans were a little dry, but not bad. Service was great, atmosphere was great. Music was fun, but not too loud.
I'll definitely be coming back to try some more of the menu!
This is a small unpretentious very casual atmosphere with authentic Cuban cuisine. The váca frita & morros are absolutely delicious my Cuba Libre drink was also on point. Even though it had great flavor, I was not content with my churasco steak as it was very chewy. However, it would not keep me from coming back as almost everyone in our dining party of 5 were VERY pleased with our meals. Heidi was our server and was very attentive with a pleasant attitude.
Great food and nice relaxing atmosphere. A great treat after going to the Dallas Arboretum. The Cuban sandwich is really yummy and the staff is really nice. I will come back. Highly recommend!
This is one of my favorite places to visit. The service is a little slow but nice. Food and drinks are delicious!!!
You will love coming here. The food is always very delicious. Very good date night spot. Music on Friday and Saturday night. You won't be able stay seated. Very family friendly during the week. Staff is very knowledgeable of the menu and very professional.
The food is amazing brought me back to my childhood nothing like my parents but, good enough lol. Glad it's here I didn't want to cook. Everything was so delicious and the price was amazing compared to the amount of food you get. I definitely recommend everyone try it.
Excellent authentic Cuban food! Highly recommended! Service was great and the Cuban sandwiches were delicious. The fries had a very good seasoning as well.

Nice place to hang and have great food and drinks, live band when I was there on Friday... Good vibe and great staff.
We just moved to the area and decided to walk over try out Havana Cafe. Customer service was good. The food was hot when we got home. We ordered the Cuban sandwich and it was off the hook! It came w plantains and the rice and beans was also exceptional. This restaurant has been added to our “Definitely going back” many times list. Love it!!!
What an amazing place. Came here with my family. Food was amazing. The atmosphere was amazing. Drinks WERE AMAZING. Friday nights they have a live band called Cafe con Leche. True professionals.
We love coming here and will continue to come here.
I live nearby and I honestly avoided this place for the longest because I just assumed their food would be mediocre, Americanized Cuban food. Thankfully, I was wrong. I tried it out on a whim via UberEats and I was very impressed! I got the fried chicken steak. The plantains were fried to perfection. Everything is so fresh and flavorful. Took me back to Little Havana!
Yesterday, I enjoyed a wonderful lunch: a delicious pan (real Cuban bread) con bistec that came with tasty fries and a perfect Cuba Libre. Of Cuban heritage myself, Havana Cafe Dallas receives my highest rating for an all-around exemplary experience - welcoming, comfortable, and nostalgic. I was able to order and converse in Spanish, although the staff did also speak English, and my request for "bastante cebollas" on my sandwich was met with the look only another Latin person would recognize as sheer pleasure and a connection only those who know, know. This little gem allowed me to connect to an authentic Cuban experience that did not come anywhere near to emptying my strapped wallet, and I look forward to returning often! Dale!
This is becoming my favorite little hidden gem in Dallas. Mojitos are on point, croquetas are delicious and addicting, Empanadas are hot, flaky and to die for, Cuban sandwich is authentic and what keeps us coming back. I’d skip the paella and tres leches but other than that, food is delicious and service is friendly and attentive. I go at least once a week!
I’ve eaten here a dozen times living in the area, and overall I would recommend it to friends or co-workers interested in food from the Caribbean. The place isn’t perfect, but no where is. This is a family run operation, so things can get a little hectic sometimes. I have had no issues and always enjoy myself when we get lunch from here. The rice is cooked perfectly and I usually get pork which is always flavorful and plantains. It definitely can get very busy Friday and Saturday nights, and any times I didn’t enjoy my experience they seemed a little overwhelmed. Will continue coming back though!
Wonderful live band. The place is small, cozy, and informal. Food is very good. Drinks are average. Staff is very friendly. Crowds are light. Needs a bigger dance floor. Lower lights, to make it less obvious if a dancer is not great, or more self conscious.
Didn't get a chance to eat since I only came for the Mojitos and a cup of coffee. What food I did see looked delicious and everyone seemed to be enjoying the meal. The staff and what I'm assuming we're the owners offered delivery drivers drinks for the hot day at no charge, showing their true hospitality. Quality place ran by quality people. Mojitos and espresso were excellent!
First time to visit. Great food and atmosphere! Definitely be back. The “famous “ Cuban sandwich deserves the name. Pechuga Salteada chicken with garlic, onions, green and red bell peppers was very tasty!
