My wife and I ate here for the first time and loved it! The food was great, always fun to get to experience different cuisines, and our waitress was very helpful and genuinely interested in making sure we were pleased with our meal. The atmosphere is also very nice, really enjoyed the screens playing scenes from Cuba. Definitely plan on going back and thinking about what dish to try next.

While chatting with a person regarding how much we missed a good Cuban restaurant, we were guided to Sweet Havana. We drove from Monroe MI for a dinner of a Cuban sandwich, pork with mojo and a starter of chicken empanadas. Such glorious flavors! We will be back to try more things on the menu including the Cuban coffee Stop by and try something delicious!

This needs to go to the top of your must-eat-list!! I ordered tacos from the lunch menu (1 ropes veija, 1 roasted pork, which can only be described as over-stuffed -- easily a quarter pound of meat in each). I asked for all the toppings on a side dish, which they were happy to do – I'm a bit particular about topping my tacos. The tacos came with rice and black beans (I don't generally even like rice, but this was so good I ate it all). I topped off my meal with flan (hands down the best I've had anywhere, although I ended up taking it home because the meal was just so filling. The flavor and quality of everything was absolute perfection, the wait staff were friendly and attentive, and the decor is stunning. There are no TV screens blaring news or sports – – instead, videos of Cuba, and Cuban music. I wanted to meet the owner (Oscar), who happy to sit at my table for a few minutes and chat about food, Cuba, and more. I guess my only question is, is there a spare room in the back where I could put a bed and just sleep here between meals?

Here's a polished version of your review with improved grammar, flow, and tone: --- I don’t usually give 5-star reviews unless a restaurant truly checks all the boxes: great food, excellent service, and a pleasant atmosphere. This new spot in Toledo delivers on all three. The decor is inviting, the food is delicious, and the service is warm and attentive. The owners go out of their way to make guests feel welcome. The only thing missing is a cocktail to go with dinner, but they’re currently in the process of getting their liquor license. Once that’s in place, it’ll be the complete package. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

Absolutely phenomenal service and food. The waitress recommended a tropical banana flavored drink that did not disappoint! My wife got the loaded pork fries that had a ton of flavor and I had the Cuban that was huge. We tried the sweet plantains and they were amazing. The place itself is SUPER CLEAN and decorated nicely. The staff was extremely friendly and made excellent t recommendations. We will be bringing back our friends.

We lived in Tampa for 12 years and were missing our great Cuban food. WOW, not any longer. My wife had the ropa vieja and I had the Cuban sandwich. Awesome food, full bar and great service. We will be back.
