The best and most affordable happy hour I found in the city. They have a happy hour from 12-6 M-F with food options and mojitos for $6.50! I had two and felt great. I also ended up ordering Maduros off the regular menu and they were a delicious vegetarian option. Great and attentive service as well! Vegetarian options: Maduros- sweet Plantains and rice/ beans

Hold on, my initially review was 5 star, but going to change that. For service should be zero but I cant select that After reviewing my account , I find out they charged me $32 more. What a robbery, i called and they reviewed the bill and then apologized for the overcharged. Really!!!!! Never get back again, good luck if you eat there. Initial review. Lets keep simple, if you want to eat good dishes with flavor , you are not going to be wrong, the best part, good prices. Enjoy it

I had high hopes for Guantanamera but it was a bit of a disappointment. We went after seeing a Broadway show and we’re looking for a place in walking distance. They were able to seat us upon arrival (we had a reservation but arrived a bit early). I ordered Paella. The rice was delicious but the seafood was all way over cooked. The shrimp were dry and tough and the calamari was rubbery. The clams and mussels were very small. And the white fish tasted off. I would not recommend ordering that. The person I was with ordered a chicken dish with a Cuban sauce that she loved. So, I think the food may be okay in general but maybe just stay away from the seafood. The waiter we had was also off. We were finished eating and sat for awhile before he came over to check on us. He asked us if we wanted dessert or anything. We both said no and that we were all set. He said okay and went and stood off to the side. No check. We waited at least five minutes before we called him over from standing there a
