Old Havana Cuban Restaurant

I’m in Boston for work. I stopped by for lunch with a co-worker. My co-worker had the shredded beef and I had the skirt steak (Churrasco) with the chimi sauce and we had empanadas for apps. The food was amazing. Maybe one of the best skirt steaks I’ve had in a very long time. Amazing service as well. I’d definitely come back the next time I’m in Boston!

This is the most authentic Cuban food you can have in the United States, outside of Miami. The Cuban food itself is better quality than anything you could even find in New York, cooked from scratch while you wait, and for the appropriate (inexpensive) price. The staff is so friendly, the food is great, the restaurant is clean and cute, and the outdoor space is perfect. Old Havana is a 10/10 experience, and if you can tell the difference, you’ll immediately know this is the real deal.

We were blown away by the food and the service here. We came in to a very bubbly, happy server who was doing her job while singing. We were like wow that’s a great sign. We had shrimp and chicken patties to start and they were so fresh and juicy and well-balanced. We then had the picalonga tapas. I was worried it would be heavy from so much fried food but it was lovely! Especially the tender and juicy beef and chicken. Finally, my friend and I got the skirt steak with chimichurri. I got mine with sweet plantains. It was perfect! They serve it still sizzling. An amazing meal. Highly recommended. Thanks!

This review is posted by a second generation Cuban who has grown up eating authentic Cuban food both at home and in restaurants... this is the only genuine Cuban restaurant that I have come across in the three years that I’ve lived in the Boston area. The food is excellent and the staff are very nice. I highly recommend it.
