Omer ZachDecember 28, 2014The portions are extravagant. The food's not great but if you're stuck in Times Square you could do much worse than Havana Central.
Tuesday is Empanada Tuesday. $1 empanadas beginning at 4pm. Yes, a dolla. :)

Molly SwensonJune 12, 2013It's just ok. Frozen mojitos are syrupy and too sweet. Food is ok but not great. I prefer Victors up the street a bit for their flavored mojitos.
WandaDecember 8, 2012They are nice at the front desk but they rush you out. The place needs a serious facelift and the menu needs to change. It's been the same for years! Won't be coming back.
- Havana Central RestaurantsJanuary 11, 2012Looking forward to the $12.95 lunch special! pernil and maduros here I come!! :)
Jane ChuMay 7, 2012Food is just okay, but their corn on the cobb is AMAZING! I only go there to order the corn and have a few drinks (drinks are not amazing, just average).
- They have two other great locations, but this one is definitely the favorite among my friends!
And ALL mojitos at Havana Central have fresh mint, lime, simple syrup and Bacardi Select Rum...

"Don't let the smaller product selection fool you. Almost every product is awesome (couldn't say the same about the 5th Ave old store). Look for Heath, super kind & super knowledgeable."
