Lively Little Havana hotspot with classic Cuban comfort dishes, strong mojitos, and live music; great energy, but waits, service inconsistencies, auto service charge, and authenticity-of-reviews concerns warrant managed expectations.
Old's Havana delivers authentic Cuban classics and exceptional setting appeal with live music and prime Calle Ocho positioning that makes it a genuine Little Havana destination. However, inconsistent food execution (dry proteins alongside excellent vaca frita and lechon), notable service delays during peak times, and moderate review authenticity concerns that suggest caution when reading raves prevent a higher grade. The experience is lively and worthwhile for traditional Cuban dining, but expect variable execution and weekend crowds.
One caveat: Service can be slow during peak hours with delayed drinks and entrees
