This restaurant had everything: charm, atmosphere, attentive and friendly wait staff and top-notch food that is very affordable. For 20 CUC’s we had sweet and tender lobster tail that came with black beans and rice, a healthy salad, a slide of fried plantains and the best corn soup I’ve ever tasted. We sat outside on the balcony which gave us great street views of Old Havana. Our waiter was friendly and informative.

This is actually my second time reviewing this restaurant. My family arrived back in Havana from January 4th to the 11th, 2020. You're not going to believe this, but over the course of the week, I returned to Es Qui Na de Cuba three times. Once alone and twice with my aunt. That's how much I like the place and know what level of service and food I'm going to get. As I said in my first review, (June 2019), I eat Ropa Vieja everywhere and compare who has the best dish. That's all I had this trip too - and Es Qui Na de Cuba is the best. I have no idea how good anything else is on the menu, but judging by the Ropa Vieja, you should be satisfied. The restaurant staff will suggest that you get the full meal, with all the extras, coffee and desert, but I simply like getting just the plate. Without the full meal, it was either 6 or 8 CUCs and well worth it.

The best value and tastiest food we had in Havana and Cuba overall.
We found this place on a whim, trying to avoid the overpriced tourist hotspots and right at the corner was this place. We wish we found it sooner!
After 8 days in Havana, we found this place on the 6th and went back on the next day too!
One member of our group did not eat meat and not only did the chef make a vegetarian dish, which was not on the menu for her, they also created vegetarian options for starters too.
Ariel was extremely accomodating and lovely to talk to. Providing a great experience was his top priority, which he did. Giraldo was also extremely attentive and we also got a chance to thank Chef Julio Mijail for the best meal and cocktails we've had in Cuba.

A friend and I recently had dinner at Esquina de Cuba and enjoyed it very much! We ordered the street tacos (vegetarian) as part of a complete meal, including a drink of your choice. All this for a reasonable 15 CUC.
The food was very tasty, the ambience pleasant, and the service attentive. We were really pleased with our choice and would recommend it to others.

Cannot fault this place at all. We went back twice in 2 days because without a doubt, the food and Mojitos were the best we had in Cuba. One of us in the group was vegetarian and though there was not much veg on the menu, the chef kindly whipped up a delicious and light vegetable taco dish. Highly recommend the rice and beans dish, malang fritters and the chicken and rice dish. Ariel served us the best mojito we have ever had and to top it off, he was extremely friendly as were the rest of the staff. You must visit this place if you are in Cuba. You will not regret it.

I was recommended this place by my Cuban friend. I've been eating there 3 times. I usually try to discover something new around, but this place offered really good food and excellent service!! This is the only place in Cuba, where waiter actually asked me if I want my mojito "mas fuerte", and for me this is a sign, that they actually care! Needles to say that next time I will visit this place again, and again....

Lovely dinner, sitting on their first floor balcony watching and listening to the Havana nightlife. We both selected ‘Cazuela Del Mar’, a very tasty selection of shellfish including lobster, served with rice and black beans. Good sweets, unusual to find in Cuba, lemon meringue and chocolate pies. We selected the more expensive Rioja red wine, but a cheaper alternative was available. Very friendly, helpful and English-speaking service.

Great food and host was very helpful guiding us through menu. One of us was vegetarian and they created a lovely mixed vegetable and rice dish which was delicious. Black beans also a good choice. Local crystal beer served here which is a favourite with us. Would definitely recommend a visit.

I ate here in a group of 11. We were well catered for; had a table arranged for all of us to sit together, our order was spot on and service was in decent time considering how many of us there were. Food was excellent and they catered for meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans.
Also, Ariel, the host, was friendly, accommodating and entertaining. The other staff were also friendly and fun. I personally went to thank the chef for my dish and he was so appreciative.
Would definitely eat here again and would recommend to anyone. The only negative I can think of (trying to balance out my review 😅) is the accessibility. There are a flight of stairs to get up to the restaurant. But it does make for a nice view too!

I don't know how to praise this place enough, we've been here five times and everything we've eaten has been exceptional and delicious and they do amazing cocktails and also the prices are so reasonable. And that's not even the best part, the staff are lovely and attentive and it's such a nice environment. I can't wait to be back at that little balcony drinking fruit mojitos. The best in Cuba. Love love love

The food is very good at a price that I consider fair. The atmosphere is very pleasant and the view of the street is very charming. The drinks were also well priced and the food was served enough for one person to leave full. Very good service. There is no wi-fi.

Upon entering the restaurant we were greeted by Ariel, one of the friendliest people one would hope to meet on their travels. He also helped us out with the menus in perfect English. The food was delicious, the overall ambiance of the place is excellent and I can’t wait to taste more items off the menu. Don’t think twice about dining here! If you’re lucky you might get a table in the nice balcony.
