Havana Central   

Whenever I am in Times Square with friends we usually go to Havana Central. It has a fun atmosphere and the servers are friendly and energetic. The mojitos are a must try.

This restaurant was the best cuban food I've had since my late Cuban Grandmother. Being able to taste the same cuisine that she would cook when I was a little girl for the family and sometimes just for me. I thought the service was great. The staff was friendly, it was warm and welcoming in the restaurant, the band was alive and pumping, and the food was well seasoned and hot that I almost burned my lips trying to eat my food. The best thing about this place is that they try to seat you as quickly as possible on their busy days, that's the day I decided to come and visit. I am definately telling all my friends, collegues, and family about this restaurant, hopefully they feel the same way I do.

We had a very nice dinner at Havana Central before going to the theatre on a Saturday night. The place was hopping even before 6:00 p.m. The decor reminds you of Old San Juan and the menu was great. The appetizers were warm not hot - same with my entree. The food, once heated up, was very good and the wait staff was very soliticious and attentive. With salsa in the background all the time and a nice live combo later on - if the kitchen could get its act together and send the food out hot it would be a be a very good restaurant.
