old's havana cuban bar & cocina reservations

A good place to enjoy live music and people watching.Here in no particular order are some of my favourites.Keep in mind the restaurant automatically includes gratuity in your check.If you’re looking to avoid some of that, pull out the fatty cut of cheese inside, it’ll make for a more pleasant dish. People frequently come for the Cuban sandwich, which is tasty, but it’s also a bit on the fatty end.I just wish it was done a bit differently. The restaurant is a pretty place and the people seem nice enough, as does the live music and the place along Calle Ocho. There are better ways to draw out the flavor. The thing that disappoints, really, is the heavy-handedness of the food. There’s a rush during meal times, and things slow down a bit, but food doesn’t come at an unreasonable pace. Service is pretty good, and the food comes at about an average pace. In this case, the yuca is so greasy that it overwhelms any kind of texture.

Fried Yuca: Yuca root is a common side dish in Latin American cuisine, but it’s got to be done with a delicate hand.It’s not a pleasant experience, even for the staunch sweet tooth. Just a touch to your lips can overwhelm you. This version, though, is overwhelmingly sweet. Cafe Cubano: A Cuban coffee is a very distinct coffee dish for the morning, very strongly concentrated coffee roast.Which costs it some flavor, compared to other versions with better-trimmed meat. That said, this sandwich is on the fatty end.

The ham and turkey sandwich with cheese and pickles inside them.

Cubano: The Cuban sandwich is a favorite, and it’s going to be one of the things that draws you here.

There’s a nice sauce on top of the fish, but it can be a bit overwhelming for the mild seafood underneath.

This heavy cut of fish is pretty good, it’s thick and when grilled well it really shines.
