Everyone was right! Mojitos were excellent. I had ginger and original, both were excellent. Food was excellent too! Ahi tuna seared perfect. Love this spot!

Blueberry mojitos in the summer! Cuban Sandwich egg rolls and pork cubes are perfect especially on happy hour! Black Bean soup is also a good rainy day meal.

Non-Smokers beware! I was here on 9/24/2017 around 6:30pm. There's a smoking area for cigars; however, the smoke wafts into the main dining area every time the swinging doors open.

Of 4 mojitos I tried: 1. Coconut 2. Original 3. Strawberry kiwi 4. Island. Apparently, jalapeño one is good but I didn't have balls to try it

What a fabulous place, great food, fine selection of cigars, outdoor seating, Salsa on Thursday nights and a perfect Spanish Chardonnay!

The place had a great atmosphere and felt like we were in Cuba (at least what I think it would be like). The mojito and Taste of Havana were great but the place really made you smell like smoke :(

Ropa vieja, cerdo, and the frijoles negros con arroz are all excellent. The flan was ok, but try a mojito.

A Great place to sit, Chat and enjoy a nice cigar on the beautiful patio area. The relaxed carribean atmosphere provides a great place after a hard day's work.

Hannah was sweet, the black bean soup was good. Will come again to try something new.

Go to Havana and get the flatbread pizza of the day. Doesn't matter what it is. It's always good. Last night: fried calamari on top of cheesy goodness. Yums.

Women’s bathrooms are not up to par with the restaurant. Unclean, dimly lit, doors don’t shut and/or lock. Also waited 30 minutes for a drink tonight.

Try to get AJ as your server. Bar none, the best waiter in Richmond.
