We went to A Piece of Havana for the first time for an early Saturday dinner. We were looking for something different, away from our neighborhood, The staff was very friendly and helpful, but in spite of ordering when the restaurant was not at all crowded it took thirty minutes to receive our sandwiches. I ordered a Cuban sandwich and my friend ordered a Miami sandwich. After our wait, however, the sandwiches were delicious (and hot). We left shortly after the music began, with a man with a good voice singing.This is a fun place. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The staff was great and the music looked like it was going to be entertaining. We will definitely be back, and very much recommend it.

Never a disappointment when I come back to this restuarant. WONDERFUL food served reasonably quickly ( for a Cuban restuarant) and always cooked perfectly.

This was a last minute reservation made to treat my family to lunch while coming back from Fort Mill area. I decided to give them a try and also introduce my family to Cuban food. They did not disappoint and they were not busy at all. Our server was friendly, the food was fresh, and everything came out fast. I'm glad that I know where to come back whenever I'm on this side of town!

Food didn't even taste good. Music is so loud. Food is super expensive. My friend asked for a paella and it was basically only rice

This is a nice restaurant, with good service. I would come back and try different dishes. But sadly, there was almost nothing authentic about this Cuban cuisine. Their ham croquetas were on point, excellent. But the chicken milanesa, the picadillo, and the bistec palomilla plates were kissing Cuban flavor. The rice tasted like the rice you get at a Chinese takeout, and beans were straight out of the can, and the steak was was not not the right type of cut. Palomilla is tender and soft with very little grizzle, this steak was all grizzle and hard as leather, not to mention, it just did not have the right flavor.And the Cuban coffee was completely off. It tasted as though they ran Cuban coffee grounds through and American drip coffee maker. It was just completely off. The chicken milanesa was completely charred, and the cheese wasn’t even melted.It’s a shame because the place is very clean and has a terrific ambiance. The bar looks like it can whip up some great cocktails, so I will give it another chance and try something else when we return.I hope they improve their cooking because I would like to give them a better review next time.

Food was amazing, mojitos were on point, especially the mango mojito. We found this place through a google search for Cuban food while visiting Carowinds, I had no idea how close it was to us.

This has been one of my favorite restaurants for a while. The empanadas are the absolute best I’ve had anywhere, and they know how to make a really good mojito!

Took my family of 6 here and it was great! The staff was super friendly and helped us understand the menu better. Everything was absolutely delicious, the yuca fries were my favorite!

You can’t beat live music with amazing food and atmosphere!

Great food! Friendly great service! Be aware: the owner will try to sneak a 3% service charge onto your bill if you pay with a card. Sucks for the staff who usually get penalized. He need to stop being so cheap.
