    Check-in was friendly, but chaotic because of the crowds. To be fair, our reservation was at 7 an the place was filled with pre-theater diners and holiday revelers. The food was very disappointing. Our pork masitas were overdone, as was were the tostones. The shrimp and rice was flavorless. On the positive side, the drinks were solid.

    We stopped by on a friends recommendation. I am glad we did. Had the three pork dish with rice and salad. The ribs were simply delicious. Tender and juicy with this guava sauce on it. My god these were good. The Pernil was succulent and the fried pork was my favorite. Finger licking good. Had a mojito for drink. Will be back FOR SURE!

    I was celebrating a special occasion and had requested a table on the main floor when I made the reservation. I was seated on the top floor. The food was lukewarm not hot. On the other hand, I was served quickly and the food although warm was tasty and service was good.

    I had the guava ribs. Very tasty with black beans and side salad. My son had the Cuban sandwich and fries which he said was good. The others shared a shrimp and rice dish and seemed to enjoy it. Two birthdays so we enjoyed the flan and singing.

    I like to thank our server Onassis last night for an enjoyable visit. He was very attentive, polite and charismatic. He was also able to take a fantasic group picture for us. Havana Central is one of our favorite restaurant in NYC. Also, like to thank the employees who cooked our food (always great). Wishing you all a Merry Christmas (Feliz Navidad) and a blessed New Years. May God protect and bless us all 2025.
