Victoria U.March 14, 2014The band is only too loud if you didn't expect it to start playing. Vaca Frita is excellent and the Ropa Vieja reminded me of my own grandmother. Come for solid Cuban food and a great atmosphere.
ChrisMarch 12, 2019My wife and I hit the jackpot! Great food (try the Rabo Encedido), incredible band with dancing and awesome drinks. The owner, Mario, even made us feel welcome. Highly recommend!
Theodore KimMarch 24, 2015Excellent Cuban sandwiches and large portions. The beans and rice, which come with many entrees, are a meal in themselves. I'm recommend the fried yucca, too.- GuantanameraMarch 13, 2014We'd say that just about everything under the roof of Guantanamera is made with the same sentiment as their hand-rolled cigars: “totalmente a mano y con mucho amor”...
Amelia HerreraAugust 11, 2017Guantanamera was amazing, we really great food, great seasoning, great amount and great price. The live music brought us to Cuba in minutes. Guantanamera is a really great choice.
Lisa GSeptember 5, 2014The portions are huge! Some of the best Cuban food I've had, and I've been to Cuba. The live music is beyond fantastic, had a great time listening to Pedrito Martinez and his band.
Graham McGillivrayAugust 28, 2017Sat at the bar for happy hour with half price cocktails (6-7pm @ $6) and tappas and had a ball. Band was ok, but a nice cruisey evening. Food was great and Amando the barman was terrific.- GuantanameraDecember 5, 2014Let's Get TOASTY!!!! Join us for a New Year's CUBAN celebration!!!!!! Dinner, Drinks, Live Cuban Music and Dancing!!!!

Anastasia BelozertsevaOctober 18, 2012Great cuban cuisine. There is a live band pretty much every night over here. However, it's best if you finish eating before the band comes in because they make it hard to have a conversation.- GuantanameraFebruary 27, 2014Weekend is coming !!!!

Crystal HernandezApril 2, 2011Been here multiple times, get something different every single time and loved every single thing! And the sangria is among the best in the city, if not The best...a must!
KattFebruary 17, 2015Very nice restaurant. The red and other flavored sangria are great... Food and service was good .. Nice place for a date.
Michael VOctober 25, 2012Chorizo, Cubano, caipirinha. The band is almost always too loud, sit downstairs if open. Make a res or spend your salary at the bar while it's "5 more minutes" for your table for 90 minutes or more.- GuantanameraJanuary 27, 2014VALENTINE @ GUANTANAMERA Full Menu & Valentine's prix fixe.

Meah BAugust 5, 2015Adorable Cuban hole in the wall with live music in the evenings. Come for the sangria and mango mojitos.

- GuantanameraJanuary 3, 2014Authentic Cuban Cuisine + Live Music + the Best Mojitos + Cigar roller = Weekend @ Guantanamera Restaurant...
DLeeJanuary 8, 2012Get there before 8:30 to ensure you'll get seated. The live band comes on at 9 and is too loud to permit conversation (though enjoyable). $5 mojitos on Tuesdays. Try the coconut.
Wendy KastenApril 19, 2016The food was very good, price fair, and music was terrific. Contrary to what it says on this website, the mojito's are not free with dinner
