Victoria U.March 14, 2014The band is only too loud if you didn't expect it to start playing. Vaca Frita is excellent and the Ropa Vieja reminded me of my own grandmother. Come for solid Cuban food and a great atmosphere.
ChrisMarch 12, 2019My wife and I hit the jackpot! Great food (try the Rabo Encedido), incredible band with dancing and awesome drinks. The owner, Mario, even made us feel welcome. Highly recommend!
Theodore KimMarch 24, 2015Excellent Cuban sandwiches and large portions. The beans and rice, which come with many entrees, are a meal in themselves. I'm recommend the fried yucca, too.
GuantanameraMarch 13, 2014We'd say that just about everything under the roof of Guantanamera is made with the same sentiment as their hand-rolled cigars: “totalmente a mano y con mucho amor”...
Lisa GSeptember 5, 2014The portions are huge! Some of the best Cuban food I've had, and I've been to Cuba. The live music is beyond fantastic, had a great time listening to Pedrito Martinez and his band.
Graham McGillivrayAugust 28, 2017Sat at the bar for happy hour with half price cocktails (6-7pm @ $6) and tappas and had a ball. Band was ok, but a nice cruisey evening. Food was great and Amando the barman was terrific.
Amelia HerreraAugust 11, 2017Guantanamera was amazing, we really great food, great seasoning, great amount and great price. The live music brought us to Cuba in minutes. Guantanamera is a really great choice.
CNovember 9, 2015Everything in this estblishment is perfect. Be ready for an amazing time, with amazing food, and amazing drinks. If you don't want an enjoyable time, look elsewhere!
F-Factor NutritionAugust 28, 2012Great spot for dancing to live music. Plus, awesome mojitos for only $5 on Tuesdays. Stop by for a drink, waste only $5 and burn some calories- what more do you need?!
Wendy KastenApril 19, 2016The food was very good, price fair, and music was terrific. Contrary to what it says on this website, the mojito's are not free with dinner
Anastasia BelozertsevaOctober 18, 2012Great cuban cuisine. There is a live band pretty much every night over here. However, it's best if you finish eating before the band comes in because they make it hard to have a conversation.
DLeeJanuary 8, 2012Get there before 8:30 to ensure you'll get seated. The live band comes on at 9 and is too loud to permit conversation (though enjoyable). $5 mojitos on Tuesdays. Try the coconut.
Michael VOctober 25, 2012Chorizo, Cubano, caipirinha. The band is almost always too loud, sit downstairs if open. Make a res or spend your salary at the bar while it's "5 more minutes" for your table for 90 minutes or more.- GuantanameraDecember 5, 2014Let's Get TOASTY!!!!

Annie QuintanaFebruary 18, 2016Come for the food, stay for the mojitos and live music. One of the best Cuban spots in the city- DoubleDeuceMay 22, 2016Tasty Cuban foods (seafood and skirt steak). Plenty of plantains. Very busy. Solid traditional mojito.
- Victoria U.April 17, 2017Heart of the theatre district, well priced and delicious. Most nights have live music.
Crystal HernandezApril 2, 2011Been here multiple times, get something different every single time and loved every single thing! And the sangria is among the best in the city, if not The best...a must!
Robert BahrMarch 18, 2013Had a table right next to three piece band and loved it. Tried to walk in a Friday night (wrong). Went back on a Sunday. Not as crowded or loud.
