Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Havana Central Times Square offers a vibrant Cuban dining experience with authentic and flavorful dishes. The "food is always delicious," especially the Ropa Vieja and empanadas, complemented by impressive cocktails like the Mojito. While the service can be inconsistent, "our waiter was the bomb," ensuring a lively atmosphere. Despite occasional noise, it's a "must-visit" spot for pre-theater meals in the heart of Times Square.

    Been here a few times, once for my birthday, but a few for Thanksgiving. We don't really celebrate Thanksgiving, so going out to eat has become tradition. It's always crowded on Thanksgiving here, but great service and delicious food.

    Very good restaurant close to theater district. Casual dining with great family style menu. Sliders and chicken fingers/fries were big hits w my grandkids. Churrasco steak was so tender and delicious. Tostones were crisp and flavorful. Going back soon even without Broadway tickets...lol.

    We have been here a few times before a show and always love it. This time however there was a hair in my food. I mean crap happens, they took it away and served a new one. I do think management could have addressed it, given us a drink, or dessert.

    Ramon, our waiter, never rushed us and checked to c if we needed anything while my friend and I chatted. My mango glazed salmon was delicious and perfectly cooked. And, Ramon and the other servers did a great Happy Birthday song, as well. It was a very enjoyable lunch, complete with music. Thank u.
