Love this place when they get it right. They have one of the best black beans I've tasted. They are a little overpriced for the very small amount that they give. I felt like it was mostly juice from the beans. Their platanos are also really good when they are fresh. I've had to return the platanos a handful of times on different occasions because they were luke warm and hard, like they have been sitting out for a good while. It's gets a little annoying, especially if I get them to go only to find out halfway home that they are not freshly fried. As you can see in the photos, the difference on how they look when they are fresh, compared to when they are old and hard, like they have been sitting under a heat lamp for quite a while. Their bread tastes yummy. I can eat their whole basket if bread in one go. When I used to eat meat, this place was my favorite for the bistec empanizado. It comes with black beans and platanos. They bistec had fried onions on top. And their salsa is one of the best I'v had. Top 3. Although I do have a so-so annoying experience with them sometimes, this is one of the best tasting Cuban restaurants I've been to. That's why I keep coming back, hoping that my order will be good.

Had air conditioning. Servers were very nice and answered any questions. Had more tables than staff so need to wait or flag someone down, but the servers are very good with taking down orders and bringing back drinks, food, utensils. Complimentary(?) bread basket had warm and soft, lightly toasted buttered bread. The fried pie shell and seasoned ground beef of the empanadas were a hit, totally recommend for people who like fried empanadas. The plantains (maduros?) were a nice sweet treat so didn't need to get dessert. The green salsa was delicious and not burn your mouth spicy. Chicharrons pork rinds were super crunchy to almost hard texture, not for anyone with braces. For the combo plate, get to choose two sides: (1) the white rice that comes a small cup of black beans or moro which is beans and rice already mixed together & (2) yucca or plantains or french fries. Had naturally sticky wooden tables that long lasting businesses tend to have. Would eat here again.

I've been to this place twice already. They have daily specials, so I'll keep returning until I've had them all. Just like Cuba itself, this restaurant is also an island (of sorts) because it is found in part of LA County that is awash with an overabundance of Mexican restaurants, your typical fast food joints and some asian restaurants. What I had this last time was the milanesa with sautéed onions. It is very good, especially with the onions and a squeeze of lime. The last time I had a grilled steak topped with mojo and that was excellent. Even better than the milanesa. I recommend you go. It's the most interesting restaurant in the area.

I started coming to this restaurant 8 years ago and I stop by this restaurant whenever I’m in El Monte. Food and service were ok but when I came last weekend, the service was very bad. They are not that busy, not even half full but the waitress was uncaring, inattentive and looked like I’m bothering her. I ordered ropa vieja from the lunch special menu and the food came within 15 min. it took me 20 minutes to pay, get a to-go box and leave. I had a first at this restaurant I was charged for the to-go container. Never ever I was charged anywhere else for a to-go box except this place. Shame on you Havana Club Restaurant.

Cuban food at reasonable prices, the place looks nice and clean. I ordered several items from the well apportioned menu and I wasn’t too impressed. Food was well presented and prepared fresh but, I found some of the dishes didn’t taste as well as places in Miami, Florida. It could be that the cook wasn’t Cuban or maybe it wasn’t his good day. Overall good establishment.

Best Cuban Restaurant in all of Los Angeles, worth the drive. Food was delicious, very authentic, generous servings. Ambiance is wonderful, well appointed table settings, music. The staff is top notch attentive, polite. Great prices for the quality and entire experience. I had the traditional chicken with onions, super! I will go back next time I visit LA.
