Porto Havana: Reviews & Ratings
Eat here at least once a month. This is authentic Cuban food. Everything I have ordered is always seasoned well. Quick and friendly service.
The food was really great and the service was fast! very fresh food, it was also clean! The women there are very nice as well!
Great prices, great food, great fast service, perfect place for a quick lunch break. Could make the bathroom a bit cleaner though.
Great Cuban food and friendly service. We had the Weds lunch special of arroz con pollo, the Cuban sandwich, croquetas and empanadas. Everything had a great flavor and was well prepared. We will definitely be back!
Homemade Cuban food. The service is professional and kind. I have used them to cater three of my events and it's always amazing reviews from my guest. I highly recommend them.
Have to update only because I frequent here quite often now. The steak sandwich is my favorite, bread is nice and crispy but the fries are not good; most are over salted and soggy. Chicken filet is always good with the rice and black beans but the sweet plantains are always burnt and soggy which make a gross texture to eat. The empanadas are still delicious.
So, I come here whenever I'm down here working. I love the food it is on point and vouch for it all day. The sandwiches omgeee my fav! The staff are such a sweet group of ladies that are extremely welcoming. They take their time preparing the food but it's really yum and made well. Right by FXE AIRPORT.
Although delivery was a bit slow(possibly because of door dash) the food was excellent. Everything arrived warm and intact. I tried a chicken empanada which was flavorful and not dry at all. The ropa vieja was also good. I did find the need to add some salt to the meat, but it was fork tender and plentiful. For a lunch portion, I was impressed with the quantity and quality for the price. The black beans were so flavorful over the rice and meat. I can't wait to try more dishes from this restaurant.
