Guantanamera is an instant escape to chic Old Havana. Guantanamera is a friendly, fun, vibrant Cuban restaurant featuring traditional Cuban fare, magnificent mojitos, complimentary hand-rolled cigars, & Live Cuban music. As indelibly Cuban as the classic love song that bestowed its name, Guantanamera, captures the essence of Old Havana with its exotic décor featuring exposed brick, candle-lit tables, rattan-covered ceiling fans, and hand-painted folkloric murals. Diners are invited to feast on homemade Cuban specialties using the freshest ingredients, complimented with superb service in a warm and inviting atmosphere. In addition to the unique dining experience, we offer an exquisite bar and lounge area with a distinctive assortment of fine wines, rums, liquors, specialty cocktails, and exceptional appetizers.

    Everything was horrible! The food tasted bad, the wait staff couldn’t be worse, the singer (not band as promised) sang terrible off key and the ambiance left a lot to be desired.

    I read great reviews but wouldn’t go back. The food was ok, which isn’t fair to judge because everyone has different tastes but beer wasn’t really cold, I get it’s a hot day but this is an indoor place. The air conditioner didn’t work and it was super hot. The waiter was nice but dripping in sweat which concerned me when bringing the food. I wouldn’t go back.

    I was actually really looking forward to trying this restaurant out but very disappointed with actually going there. The food was best “ok”. Music do loud you can’t even hear on another talk. The service was at best “ok” again.

    They charge 4% for using credit card and the suggested gratuity is on top of taxes and credit card fees. Should I pay tips on taxes and credit card fees? The food is tasty but the overall experience is just so so.
