I visited Revolucion de Cuba in Reading several tims, and I must say, it's a great place to grab a drink and soak in the South-Central American vibe. The place has a vibrant and lively atmosphere that transports you straight to the heart of Cuba. I visited on a Friday when they had live music, and it was fantastic. The energy and vibe were infectious. However, when I visited on a busy Saturday, the place was packed, and it was difficult to find a table. I would suggest making reservations in advance to avoid the crowd. The cocktail selection at Revolucion de Cuba is impressive, and the bartenders really know their craft. I tried a few drinks, and they were all delicious and well-balanced. It's a great place to have a drink with friends and unwind after a long day. While the food is good, it's a bit of a mixed bag. Most of the dishes dishes are authentic and succulent(I liked burrito, burrito bowl, tacos, gambas, patatas bracas, halloumi, empanadas), while others are not that succulent(I didn’t enjoy pork belly skewers,calamari, beef ropa vieja). If you're looking for traditonal Central American cuisine, you may be sligthly disappointed. However, if you're open to trying new things, you'll enjoy the creative twists and flavors they offer. Overall, Revolucion de Cuba is a great place to go for a drink and vibe. It's not the most authentic Cuban restaurant out there, but it's a fun and lively spot to enjoy a good time with friends. I would highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area.

A group of us from work went to Revolución de Cuba to celebrate 2 birthdays we did the bottomless brunch. *We were a large party* They kept up well with the drinks and the orders of drinks. We received our welcome drinks at 16.05 when we arrived. No issues there but then the food came out and it was awful. It wasn't a meal if you order a classic burger and nothing like the pictures online show. Heavily disappointed when paying £30 plus then told we had to order chips separately they came out after some of us had eaten others did not because the bite of the burger wasn't great. Then we go to pay and they try charging £25pp for non alcoholic brunch and £35pp for the alcoholic one. Which was slightly more than we originally booked the table for. The online menu prices are wrong as they say £20pp and £32.50pp which I get isn't a lot more but the fact the food was inedible and unappealing you don't want to pay any more. I wouldn't go again, plus the atmosphere wasn't great it was only enjoyable because of the company we had around the table. *picture is of our sad burger who just needed friends that would eat it.* (Even kids burgers at mcdonalds get sauce and onions

The place sounds like a fun place to be but could use a lot more work to do that. Food was nice but small for the 3 for £15 Tapas deal. Drinks are overpriced especially for how watered down they taste. Nothing more but a mix of juices than a fun cocktail of spirits. Mixers costing up to £3.45?! This is insane! And the cheeky of it not to give you the whole can! Went on a Saturday night so there was a DJ. Started off well playing music with the theme of the bar but well into the night the music choice and selection was all over the place. From RnB to Punk Rock to Pop to Reggaeton, one after the other causing people to flux on and off the floor more quickly than usual. Customer service is good and kept up with the pace of a busy evening. Enough room for people who want to sit down for eating and drinking as well as people who want to get up and dance. It does not become a sweat box as the place is actually big compared to what you see from the front window. Would I return? Possibly. Would it be my first choice? Most defiantly not.

Ever since I moved from the US to the UK, one of the foods I've been looking out for is Cuban food. I think I've finally found it in Reading at Revolución de Cuba. To start with, we had some mojitos and some tapas. The chicken tacos were very nice, and the chili plantains bites were quite satisfying. For our main meals, we got Cuban and chimichurri Cuban sandwiches. They were outstanding. I would like to try other items on the menu in future visits (and there will be future visits), but I may have a hard time staying away from the sandwiches. This place is a definite win, and I'm glad I finally found a Cuban restaurant near me. UPDATE: We returned here once again. The food was still excellent, but the noise factor was appalling. The music coming out of the speakers was so loud, all conversation was impossible, let alone the difficulty of speaking with our server. I've knocked a star off for that.

Our service from a young lady with blonde hair was great (didn’t catch her name!) although there didn’t seem to be enough people working tables to help her. Cocktails were lovely, unfortunately my meal had all of the potential … none of the execution. I had a sunshine bowl and paid £3 extra to add chicken, luckily 😅 Sounded delicious with roasted sweet potato, roasted red pepper ect but all served fridge cold :/ sweet potato was hard, plantain unenjoyable like that and overall disappointing. Chicken well seasoned and tasty tho! I would take it overall as inspiration for home cooking. Wanted to flag down the lady to have it banged in the microwave at least but she was quite busy bless her. Would recommend getting something else off the menu.
