Havana Central Menlo Park Mall - Edison

Today is my birthday and I ordered take out from the website. When I Walked in to pick up my order, the girl at the front desk, pass me my bag and told me that all of my order is in there and that she double checked it. So I trusted her and I walked out. I then went to a table outside and check the bag and noticed that my dessert was missing. So I walked back in and I told her that my banana flan wasn’t in the bag. She started going through my food in the bag and pulled out a small plastic container that had some kind of orange dipping sauce for the fried avocado. She told me that that was my flan. I told her that wasn’t flan and she said yes, that she “thinks” that’s my dessert. So she went over to who I believe was a manager that was sitting down, speaking to another person and then took my bag with my order and went to the back. She came back with a small tin that had my banana flan inside of it. I then asked her where the rest of the dessert was. And she looked at me confused. So I told her that online it says that the banana flan two sweet bananas. She looked at me again, very confused, and then told me that they only give the two bananas, or shall I say, they only give the entire desserts and the contents of it if I’m actually sitting down dining in the restaurant. I asked her if she was sure, and she said yes. So then I told her that maybe they should specify that on their website because, I did just pay nine dollars for a tiny flan. All she could say was sorry, and then I walked out. I left disappointed because my kids wanted me to get a dessert so they can sing me happy birthday. I just don’t understand why they would specify the contents of a certain dessert on line, and then not give you the entire thing when you order it to go. I thought they would put this flan with the two bananas in a plastic container like almost every other restaurant does. The rest of the food was ok. I attached a picture of the Banana Flan as it was given to me. $9 for this and nothing else. : I really wanted to love this place but I am not happy with the experience there.

The atmosphere was great and food was really good. Unfortunately can’t say anything good about the service. Our waitress was great when taking our drinks and appetizers down and then disappeared right after. Took about 30 minutes after seating to order our actual food. Everything else was taken care by a different person and I even had to ask the guy that washes plates for napkins and hot sauce. Wasn’t able to get any refill on drinks. It was a nightmare at the end of checkout too, got the wrong bill and it took about 15 minutes to pay. They still managed to get me the wrong bill again and I ended up paying double of what my bill should’ve been. The service was very upsetting especially trying this place the first time.

First time coming here and I do not regret it. It really reminded me of being down in Miami at a Cuban Resturant or something. I sat at the bar and enjoyed the vibes. The food , service, ambiance, and decor was 10/10. I’d surely come back without hesitation.

Decided to stop by here on a Wednesday night after going to the mall, and we were so glad we did! The place was pretty empty, and we made it to happy hour (M F 4 7pm), which was fantastic! We ordered margaritas and sangria for $7 and empanadas are half priced (around $1.75 ea) which were super delicious. I loved the food (very authentic Cuban we ordered pernil, frijoles, arroz amarillo, tostones, vaca frita) and our server/ bartender was really nice and attentive. The interior was my favorite, who doesn't love palm trees?! It literally felt like we were in a restaurant on an island. I highly recommend going here!

Great ambiance. Live music Thursdays and Fridays. Beautifully decorated. Food is delicious and love that they had Valentine Day specials, such as a Prix Fixed menu, special backdrops for picture perfect moments and petals on the tables. Unfortunately they ran out of the ribs and didn’t let us know until last minute after everyone else’s food came out but other than that everything was great and our waiter and manager were quick to fix the problem. Recommend the sampler and drink flight!
