Super fun vibe and delicious authentic Cuban food! We had fantastic service from Romel who provided great recommendations since this was first time trying Cuban cuisine. The Signature Chicken was AMAZING…and the Mojitos were the perfect accompaniment! We will definitely be coming back next time we’re in Miami!!

What a great find! Not sure why it only scores 4.4 stars. This is a fantastic restaurant. The food was amazing- just what we were after. Great priced drinks - half price until 7pm. If you want to try Cuban food, come here!

As a Cuban originally from Miami, I have to say—I was extremely impressed! Today I ate here and truly felt like I was back home. Romel was amazing—his customer service was outstanding, and his recommendations were on point. It was such a pleasure to receive suggestions from a fellow Cuban who clearly knows and loves our culture. The flavors were authentic and comforting—just like home. The ambiance was lively and full of soul, with great music and iconic Cuban photos all over the walls, including El Caballero de París and Hatuey—such a beautiful and nostalgic touch. Ironically, there’s another Cuban restaurant right across the street (La Mulata), but the flavors there just didn’t hit the mark the way they did here. This place truly stood out in every way. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Stepping into Havana 1957 feels like traveling back in time to old Havana—complete with vintage décor, Cuban music, and an atmosphere full of charm. The star of the day was undoubtedly the Cuban Sampler. It’s the perfect way to taste a bit of everything: tender roasted pork, chicken, beef, sweet plantains, and more—all bursting with authentic flavor. Every bite felt like a celebration of Cuban culinary tradition. I also tried the Cuban Burger, and it was hands-down one of the most unique and delicious burgers I’ve had. It’s layered with juicy beef, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and that signature Cuban flair that makes it stand out from the usual fare. Whether you’re new to Cuban cuisine or a longtime fan, Havana 1957 delivers a memorable and satisfying experience.

I cannot say enough about how great this place was. Love the atmosphere and food was very good. Alex was at our table and made sure we had everything we needed. First time i have been to a place and got great local insider info on places to stop along our trip to the Keys. He showed us just a few beautiful pics of his Sunsets. I give him alone a 10/10!! We will be back Alex. This is a pic of our travel family!

Havana 1975 on Lincoln Road is a great spot if you’re looking to enjoy classic Cuban flavors in a relaxed and vibrant atmosphere. The service is friendly and efficient, and the overall vibe matches perfectly with the Miami energy. The food is flavorful and well-prepared, with generous portions and great seasoning. Cocktails are also a highlight — balanced, refreshing, and served promptly. Their happy hour is definitely worth checking out. Great deals on drinks and small bites make it an even better experience, especially if you’re just looking to unwind in the late afternoon. Whether you’re stopping by for lunch, dinner, or drinks, it’s a solid choice on Lincoln Road. Highly recommended.
