Had a wonderful celebratory meal here today! It was absolutely perfect! Everyone that works here is so friendly and caring and well the food is out of this world amazing! Everything we had is made fresh - salads, plantains with sauce, sandwiches, empanadas, etc which we topped off with a dessert of the best cake (red velvet) you will ever taste! Such a fun atmosphere, too. We had a great meal and a great time!

Great food and even better service. The Cuban sandwich was delicious, the ropa veija was full of flavor, and the tamales were the best Cuban tamales I've ever had. Also, the tip jar made me laugh.

okay ... I am not a foodie, but I do love great, flavorful food. Taste of Havana does not disappoint. It says authentic, and it is. Just short of phenomenal... If you live in Charlotte, or you're just passing thru - it's worth the stop. Make the time.

I walk in off the dreary street to come into such a warm, bright, and happy place! The decor is so cute, the place is super clean, everyone wears their masks and every seat gets sanitized after use. The food is so good. I have tried quite a few dishes now and it’s all good. Staff and owner are so sweet. This has become our new favorite place.

Very good Cuban food, colorful interior, outside seating in front, good service. Large upstairs area for events and a downstairs bar.

Charming! Food is good, croquettes are amazing as well as cuban coffee ☕. Service is excellent and the lady owner so kind. Definitely a breeze from Havana. Highly recommend this place.

Oh my goodness...this little restaurant was so perfect!!! Food was delicious with good selection and good prices. Very attentive service from delightful staff and a very colorful, yet classy aesthetic. We got to meet Iris, one of the owners, who seemed to truly love what she does. If you're in Lenoir, this is the place to eat!

This is good basic Cuban food, it will not satisfy those that have experienced actual Cuban cuisine. However, it is a great gem for those of us that live inLenoir.

Amazing service great location and peaceful location downtown and great food and great menu items

This is our favorite Cuban restaurant! The food is always amazing, service is great, and decor is beautiful. Today I had Vaca Frita with the boiled yuca and maduras. Hubby had Palomilla sandwich, and Havana Sunset.
