Times Square NYCJuly 16, 2012The goat cheese and spinach empanada hits the spot after a nine to five.
Michael CrispinoJanuary 3, 2016The decor of this place magnificent.the food I'd extraordinary and the staff is dedicated and attentive
They know how to make cafe cubano. Perfectly sweet. Genuine.
Fizzie WaterFebruary 15, 2016It's basically frozen food reheated for tourists. Great atmosphere though, so a good place for drinks.
Mary FredaSeptember 3, 2011The best sangria I've EVER had! Tequila, gran marnier, wine, mango puree....it's sooooo good!
Jeroen RosenbergMay 29, 2011Order the "ULTIMATE" mojito. The 10 cane rum from trinidad tastes awesome. Go on saturdays and enjoy the live music.
Smooch BoutiqueAugust 21, 2010Excellent food... Had tostones rellenos, seafood paella and white sangria. All of them were A +!!! I would recommend this place to anyone.
JiyoungNovember 13, 2018Service is lukewarm and the paella taste like Uncle Bens rice. Empanadas are delicious though.
JC EarleJanuary 30, 2010I love the ambiance, the music, and the variety of mojitos! I've been to every Havana in the city, but the Times Square location is the best
Get the mojito or a splenda mojito. Best in the land!And cute swizzle sticks!
dara lynneJuly 27, 2011Pretty decent Cuban food, large portions and good service. I recommend the stuffed pepper!
Great spot in midtown. Great MOJITOS and the food and service is very good.
Leslie HealeyAugust 4, 2010LOVE the pernil asado! it was out of this world. Pleasantly surprised with the prices for being in times square.

Olivier LambertsSeptember 19, 2014Shredded beef was delicious. Had to wait rather long for our mojitos.
Richard RevillaDecember 14, 2020Food is ok, prices are very good for time square but place is showing it's age.
Omer ZachDecember 28, 2014The portions are extravagant. The food's not great but if you're stuck in Times Square you could do much worse than Havana Central.
WandaDecember 8, 2012They are nice at the front desk but they rush you out. The place needs a serious facelift and the menu needs to change. It's been the same for years! Won't be coming back.
Jane ChuMay 7, 2012Food is just okay, but their corn on the cobb is AMAZING! I only go there to order the corn and have a few drinks (drinks are not amazing, just average).
Molly SwensonJune 12, 2013It's just ok. Frozen mojitos are syrupy and too sweet. Food is ok but not great. I prefer Victors up the street a bit for their flavored mojitos.
Ramon NuezNovember 29, 2009An absolutely great place to eat. Great music. I love the empanadas and the Mojito's - mango mojito's are very tasty. Read more
Suzanne PrestonNovember 7, 2014Birthday Lunch with my co-workers! They're so sweet - my neverending birthday continues . . . with mojitos 😃

"Each of the 4 mains we got were absolutely amazing, as were the mojitos and the pineapple rum. Will definitely return for more steak, Cuban pork&potatoes, and seafood."
