The food was delicious and the staff was very kind. They made sure we were having a good time!
Socially distanced, hand sanitizer on every table. Servers wearing masks. The greeting at the door also wearing masks and protective screens throughout without being intrusive. The 1/2 price beef empanadas and Caribbean wings were so good. Thank you Lina my server for everything. I'll be back sooner than later!

No matter why we are in the city we always have a meal at Havana Central. There food is great, the service attentive, and the energy level is high. We’ve been a customer for 15 years.
The food was quick and tasted ok but with a few too many order screw ups and frozen guacamole, I’m left to think the reviews are outdated.
Hello, We would like to extend an apology about your experience at the Times Square Location. We will be attempting to send a private message in order to rectify this matter and do right by you.
Restaurant was dirty, it took 10 minutes just for the waitress to come over. Food was bland, the basic rice wasn’t cooked evenly. I couldn’t wait to leave.
Food was great. Service was great. Social distancing between tables. Temperature taken upon arrival. Bottles of hand sanitizer on each table. Enjoyed myself and felt comfortable.

Beautiful restaurant, and the food was superb
Appetizers were good but the food was cold, I got ropa vieja and it was not good. Drinks were amazing
Celebrated my daughter’s 18th birthday here and a bit apprehensive because of COVID. The check in was seamless, theirs was no wait time to be seated(on a Friday night). Our food came quickly and was delicious!
We had empanadas, tostones, maduros for appetizers that we ordered doubles of. Entrees included a
shrimp, pork, steak and chicken and everyone enjoyed their meals. Would definitely recommend!
The service was good and the service was amazing. We were seated and attended to right away. Would definitely visit again.

Everything here is amazing! Our favorite place to eat in NYC.
Lo que no me gustó es que no hay mucha variedad de comidas
Would consider going back !
Amazing food and great service everything on time
We tried ordering dessert twice and never received it. Server would forget to get our drinks and we would have to wave him down every single time to get another round of beverages. I went to the bathroom and caught our server sitting by the bar area.
The food was amazing! Everything looked nice and clean.
