This is the best Cuban restaurant with the best Ceviche, Sangria and seafood Paella in New York City! May you be there forever!

The waitress are nice guys and very helpful, the place has salsa music witch is very nice and caribbean, the food is delicious, tasty and have the typical Cuban flavor, the paella has few calamari but is delicious, even that I waited a bigger plate it was enough to get satisfied. The place is a bit noisy but because of the people.

This place is fantasic. The garden patio is so quaint - aweome view tucked underneath all the highrises. Been here twice for brunch. Their $18 bottomless cocktails are a great deal! Try the blueberry caiprahinha!

The service here was great. The Cuban food was delicious. Typical Cuban dishes that had lots of flavor. It's on par with other popular Cuban restaurants around downtown. Would def go there again.

Wonderful authentic Cuban dishes with live music! The seating is a little close in a somewhat small space but it almost adds a feeling of coziness. The steak and yuca dish is by far the most incredible! Also they serve a great plate of maduros.Easy to walk to from the PATH Christopher Street Station.

MOJITOS! Not sure if these guys have a happy hour but for the mojitos it didn't matter. Probably top 5 in the city when it comes this particular drink. For food we had the shrimp and fried snapper, both equally delicious. Oh yeah...and awesome live music. Go.

We discovered Havana Alma de Cuba through one of those coupon deals. So far we have not been disappointed in any of our West Village dinners. This place is excellent for Cuban food and a great date place. Service is good and the food is amazing. We had paella and chuletas. There is even a guy who rolls fresh cigars.

Stumbled upon this cozy little restaurant randomly one Sunday afternoon. It was a great find! We we’re seated right away, the food came quickly as well. They have brunch with an unlimited drink add on option for $17.50 for 1.5 hours of unlimited select brunch drinks. It was a good deal. Great food and staff also made for a great experience here!

Cute little Cuban restaurant. Found it by pure chance and absolutely enjoyed it. I had the special of the day, baccalao and was cook to perfection. Flan is among the best I ever had, so light and delicious. Can't wait to go back

Ordered the Cazuela de Mariscos and was not disappointed. Service was friendly. Relaxed environment with Spanish tunes. The decor was fitting. Recommended.

The food is great a bit bland, but I understand why, they need to cater to a large clientele, not everyone can handle or like the full range of herbs used by Latinos of the Island. Though I have to state the sauces are amazing.The Decor is nice, if a bit crowded in the main room, though the back is roomy and nice.The Service was very good for me, but I can understand why some people would be turned off by it.Overall though this place is excellent.

I've been here several times for brunch. They have a great bottomless brunch drinks deal the food has been delicious every time. Some entrees are a little small so I always start with an appetizer (the empanadas are great). The staff is always helpful and accommodating too (even when we showed up with 17 people for a 12 person reservation). They also have a really nice patio.

Delicious Cuban cuisine in an upscale Havana atmosphere. However, prices are on the high end and the live entertainment was way too loud for such a cozy setting.

What a great find for us while visiting NYC. Right in Greenwich Village. Amazing, friendly service, with amazing great tasting Cuban dishes and libations. I highly recommend this place for drinks or a meal. Not a lot of space inside so plan ahead. But well worth the wait.
