Havana 1957 Cuban Cuisine Pembroke Pines — Restaurant in Pembroke Pines

Outstanding Cuban Experience!

Pablo P Beliced delivered an exceptional dining experience at Havana 1957 Cuban Cuisine that transported us straight to the vibrant streets of Cuba! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was buzzing with energy and authenticity.

Our culinary journey began with their perfectly executed appetizers. The croquettes were a masterpiece - crispy on the outside with a creamy, flavorful filling that simply melted in our mouths. The empanada had that perfect golden-brown crust and was generously stuffed with delicious filling.

The star of the show was undoubtedly the Ropa Vieja - a classic Cuban dish that Havana 1957 has perfected. The shredded beef was incredibly tender and swimming in a rich, flavorful sauce with perfectly cooked peppers and onions. Each bite was more satisfying than the last!

To complement our meal, we tried two of their specialty mojitos - the pineapple and coconut variations. Both drinks were expertly crafted, striking the perfect balance between the rum, fresh mint, and tropical flavors. The pineapple mojito was refreshingly sweet, while the coconut version offered a creamy, exotic twist on the classic cocktail.

What really set this experience apart was the impeccable service. The staff was incredibly efficient, bringing out our dishes promptly without making us feel rushed. Pablo's attention to detail and friendly demeanor enhanced our entire dining experience.

The restaurant's atmosphere deserves special mention - it successfully captures the essence of Old Havana with its vintage decor and lively ambiance. The background music and lighting created the perfect setting for an enjoyable meal.

Whether you're craving authentic Cuban cuisine or looking for a memorable dining experience, Havana 1957 delivers on all fronts. Pablo and the team have created something special here, making it a must-visit destination for food lovers.

Pro tip: Don't skip the mojitos - they're some of the...

Where do I begin, the only thing redeeming about the place is the decor. I’m honestly shocked this place has a 4.8 considering it’s very mediocre, the pricing is super expensive and it’s not very well seasoned. Pretty suprised at how limited this is for a “Cuban” restaurant, no tostones, not French fries and not even mamey smoothie! You’re telling me you’re gonna be an authentic Cuban restaurant but can’t even give us tostones or Mamey smoothie? Their fruity non alcoholic drinks are $9 and very small, our poor waitress Sol was extremely slow and provided service more on the poor side but she was basically the only waitress available I understand it wasn’t her fault when she has to handle an entire restaurant. I’m just really suprised at how high the reviews are compared to the mediocrity presented. Just take the 20-25 minute down south to the Hialeah-Miami area and have some real traditional home food where you pay half the price and get treated like family. Chicos and Casa Marin are great examples of delicious value with great atmospheres with real traditional home style Cuban cooking. I’ve attached pictures with the hilariously big plates with small expensive portions, also notice how the sweet plantains are extremely thickly cut and look like small turds. The chicken was also an thick me than usual cut, this is a very pricy “fine” dining type restaurant with none of the great food to back it up. It’s definitely all bark no bite, I have no idea how people have given such high regard for mediocrity not authentic at all and the drinks are...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Havana 1975 and I must say, the service provided by the Dalyn was absolutely outstanding. From the moment I walked in, she greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel welcomed.

Throughout my meal, she was attentive and genuinely interested in ensuring my dining experience was nothing short of amazing. She was knowledgeable about the menu and willingly answered all my questions, helping me make the perfect choices.

Not only did she ensure my drinks were always replenished and promptly served, but she also anticipated my needs, making sure everything was perfectly timed. Even with a busy restaurant, she managed to provide personalized service, making me feel like a valued guest.

What impressed me the most was her friendly and positive demeanor, which added to the overall enjoyable atmosphere of the restaurant. She was always there when I needed her, yet never intrusive, striking a perfect balance of attentiveness.

Her efficiency and attention to detail were simply remarkable. Not once did I have to ask for anything - she was always one step ahead. It's rare to find such dedicated service these days, and her passion for her work was truly evident.

Her outstanding service not only made my dining experience truly memorable but also compelled me to write this review and recommend Havana 1975 to everyone seeking an unforgettable culinary experience.

Thank you, Havana 1975, for having such exceptional staff, as it is undoubtedly one of the reasons I will be...
