Cuban food in South Florida is serious business, and Havana Nights Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale delivers the real thing. From ropa vieja to mojitos, here is what you need to know before you go.
South Florida has a deep connection to Cuban culture, and nowhere is that more evident than at the dinner table. Havana Nights Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale brings the flavors of Havana to Broward County with a menu that respects tradition while keeping things fresh and approachable.
The menu at Havana Nights reads like a love letter to Cuban cooking. Ropa vieja, lechon asado, picadillo, and arroz con pollo are all done right here. The black beans and rice that come alongside most entrees are cooked low and slow the way they should be, not the rushed version you sometimes get at chain restaurants trying to pass off Cuban food.
The Cuban sandwich is a must-try. Pressed, loaded with roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard on fresh Cuban bread, it is the kind of sandwich that makes you wonder why you ever ate anything else.
Walk in and you are immediately hit with the warm colors, vintage Havana photography, and the smell of garlic and citrus from the kitchen. The energy here is lively without being overwhelming. Live music on weekends adds to the experience, and the mojitos are some of the best in Broward County.
Consistency. The food tastes the same whether it is your first visit or your fiftieth. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the staff treats you like a regular even if it is your first time walking through the door.
