Nice place, good food n good service.
Celebrated my birthday today. Everyone was super attentive and helpful for a party of 11.
Food was great ! Authentic service was wonderful you fell like home good experience love it!!
This was my third time dining here. Went for Valentine’s Day so there was a prixe fix menu. Would have much preferred their regular menu, which I find to be much better quality and more flavorful. Drinks were yummy and strong. Ambiance was fun as there was live music. Staff is always attentive and friendly. Will probably go back again.
Delightful dinning experience, amazing food and great live band!
It was Valentine Day, they had pre course menu. It was delicious!!
The food and service were amazing the dessert not so much but can't be perfect at everything
The food and the music we an excellent ending to our anniversary.
Went to eat there on Christmas Day and my Aunt never received her food . When her food did come out it was 100% wrong. We ordered drinks and that took long to come.
Food very good. Service a little slow. But will come back again
Love the music
Great service
It was our first time there, and we LOVED it!!!! We will definitely be coming back!!
Food was very disappointing.
How happy are we to have this restaurant in our neighborhood? VERY. If you haven't been, please go. Forest Hills isn't overly blessed with wonderful restaurant options, but Guantanamera is just terrific. Ropa vieja is absolutely delicious. It's easy to become a regular here.
I have been to the Manhattan location and the paella is so much better. The paella at this location has carrots, bell peppers, peas and corn. It tasted like it was from a can. I would go again but order something else. They miss the mark on the flavors with the paella. Hopefully the other food does not taste like can food.
Happy hour is too limited and need to expand. Good service and band was great.
Excellent as always. Shrimp in Creole sauce was outstanding. Love this place.
I ordered the Paella Marinara for the main course but it was cooked what looked and tasted like frozen vegetable medley!? Never had Paella with a medley of veges just Peas.
There for lunch. Restaurant not busy. My pork dish was a little tough, but service was good.
Awesome! Accommodation for party of 20 after civil matrimony. Food was great and in abundance. Service and staff professional and courteous. Everyone left happy and full, including the newlyweds. Thank you for a memorial moment.
The food was very good and the waitstaff friendly and accommodating. The music was a little too loud for me, but I was very happy when the band singer sang "Guantanamera" before they left. This was the first time I have come to this restaurant with my family. I would definitely come back again and have recommended this restaurant to several people.
We had our mother’s 77th birthday dinner and the experience was fantastic. We were a large party of 9 and the service was amazing and the food was great! Highly recommend it!!
good service, accomodating to requests ok for weekdays
Epic! We had a great time.
Excellent as always. One of our regular places.
Great Cuban food reasonably priced.Nice decor, ambiance and friendly staff.
Appetizers were ok, But the main food lacks everything. The food didn't have any flavor what so ever. We had fish, steak, seafood and chicken and nothing tasted good. Took my daughter for her graduation dinner and was very disappointed. There signature drink tasted like orange juice and not like a cocktail. The food is overpriced worst $200 I've spent on dinner. Will not recommend this place nor will i be back.
Extremely loud could not hear waiter or hold a conversation with members at our table....music was not of good quality in fact added to the high noise level... have gone several other times and music and noise level was much more comfortable...
Great food and ambiance. Staff was friendly and pleasant. The live music was great
Fabulous Cuban restaurant! Had the raspberry mojito, camarones con ajillo, pollo coco and pollo con queso y vegetables. Everything was excellent! Eager to go back for weekend brunch & the live band😃
Service and food are wondeful. The variety is fantastic and the cocktails are abundant. They have live music on the weekends and it is a perfect place to have parites; there were two large birthday celebrations that evening. My only complaint is the music is too loud. Once they start to play all conversation has to stop bc no one can hear themselves. The restaurant is quaint and the music need not be played blasting.
I was very happy with service but didn’t like that we were charged $3 per person just to cut a cake. I think that is very excessive and insulting.
AWESOME! Food Drinks and service are outstanding. Cuban food at its finest. Looking forward to our next visit.
Everyone is always kind, down to earth. And the food is amazing! Also nice and clean place.
Really was looking forward to a tasteful Cuban experience but the seafood was lacking seasoning. Although, the service was pretty good.
Service was good. The food was good. The music was good just a little loud for the cozy space. Could not hear conversation at table
Great quality food and drinks. Reasonable prices and very attentive staff
Excellent as always.
Love this place it has become a regular stop for us
