Okay okay it took me forever to get here, first time here, but it was definitely better than I ever expected. Seriously this place is awesome. Great atmosphere and incredible food. We had the polo asada which was out-of-this-world the Pollo con Champion tionas was just okay! The drinks: The Havana Rumba Margarita is definitely worth the money and is incredible. I was smashed after one of those. A frozen margarita the house is very very good. I had a glass of the Silver Gate Pinot Grigio very good as well. Very festive, with live music, and just a great place! Sit on the patio for sure but definitely get a different server; Juan Carlos is just okay, our water glasses staid empty and appetizer plate set on the table for 30 minutes and appetizer took a long time. He was the only less than 5....But, but that's it, this place is awesome it's definitely one of your best places in all of Louisville.

Eat here fairly often since they opened in Middletown years ago. I've tried most of the items on the menu and I've never had a bad meal. The waitresses are always friendly and attentive. Most of the time they will also have a singer entertaining around the dinner hour. Great atmosphere to enjoy a great meal.

Our large family of 18 often gets together at this location. The food is impeccable each time, as is the service. I’ve been to Miami & had Cuban cuisine there (the legendary Versailles), but Havana Rumba is much, much better. The live music is phenomenal here and the musician interacts with the children by handing them instruments. It’s adorable watching them dance and sing, while also loving their food.

Great atmosphere. Good drinks. Good food. Large portions. Good service.

Went here for a late lunch/early dinner. There was a 20 minute wait, but it was over quickly, and we were shown to a freshly cleaned table. All of the staff we interacted with were polite, kind and altogether pleasant. The food was amazing. We split an appetizer sampler, and a Cuban sandwich. The house sangria was lovely, at a good price.

I like the setting of the restaurant and the service was good. The reason I am giving this a 3-star is because of the dish, tasted nothing special. Will be here again to taste other stuff though!

We love the food and the live music is always great. Everything is delicious.

Nice food nice place to eat recommended 100%

1st timer! Omg everything was on POINT! Everything was so good, only thing I was not to fond of was the margarita. I had a Jalapeño margarita and it was okay, it was a little luke warm and it just seemed as if missing something. The food was all fresh and well prepared. We were a group of 4, we went about 5pm and their was no wait. Our servers name was Lisandra aka Lisa and she was awesome! She knew the menu, she had great suggestions and overall she was a great server. The live music was and the atmosphere was whole vibe!! Highly recommend! Thank you so much!
