Pablos Havana Cafe - Powell

If I gave Pablo, his staff and his restaurant more than 5 stars. First we love his food and we love the atmosphere. We were never disappointed. Secondly, we love his food so much we decided it for our wedding of 160 people and Pablo Crew DELIVERED. He was so pleasant to work with the tour to our event. He was extremely detailed, communicative and prepared for the big day. He had plan B and plan C ready to go only in case, and we appreciate him for the investment so much in the withdrawal of our great day. Are we real, people talking about dinner at weddings? it is one of the brackets and no one was disappointed! We LOVE his desserts, the tres leches and flan are to dream. I highly recommend getting to know his restaurant food, staff and atmosphere.

Rather expensive menu considering the portion sizes. Food flavor was mediocre; I ordered the Palomilla (steak) for $18. The steak was very small, there was onions on top, and the rice was completely unseasoned. Definitely not worth the price. We also ordered the Bocadita Sampler, which was 4 sliders. One of the buns on the slider had an obvious spot of mold. The one redeeming quality was that our bill was paid for by the restaurant, because of the mold, which I greatly appreciate.

This is by far the best Cuban food I?ve ever had, I try to consider myself as a well traveled person having Cuban food all over the United States. This is just hands-down the best. Top the meal off with a Bacardi Mojito? I?d give it 10 stars if I could

This place is a hidden gem and truly AMAZING!! We had the Croquetas De Jamon, El Cubano and Tampa Cuban Sandwich. The service all around was wonderful. Our waitress went above and beyond on explaining the menu items we weren't familiar with for us too. We will definitely be back!!

I love Cuban food bc I?m Cuban and grown up in Miami? Now I was certainly surprised how gland was the food, my meal did not see or taste like what was ordered, even if it was a Cuban local who prepared it. Both ordered meals were boiled with juicy amounts of green paprika, which seemed as if they wanted to use as a filler and overwhelmed the taste completely. The waiter was not attentive and had to get napkins, utensils and spices. They were kind enough to get my food back, but again it was a disappointment. Even the black beans were bad, left the laurel leaf in, it tasted so strange/out; I asked for a refund and paid for a (her little) appetizer and a ?Cuban sandwich? bc my daughter was very hungry. Finally, the main course was quite small for the price, came on the same size plate as an appetizer. I hope they turn it around, what a shame.
