Havana Night Restaurant & Bakery - Panama City (FL)

5 /5 Marcio Cavalcanti: If you’re looking for the most authentic Cuban food outside of Miami, Havana Night is the place to go! I ordered the vaca frita with congri and plátanos maduros, and it was simply perfection — crispy, flavorful beef with that unmistakable Cuban seasoning, paired with perfectly cooked rice and sweet plantains. We also tried the fajitas steak with rice and black beans, which came sizzling and tender, full of flavor in every bite. Before our meal, we shared croquetas de jamón and tequeños, and they were out of this world — golden, crunchy, and perfectly cheesy. To top it all off, the freshly squeezed orange juice was phenomenal — pure, bright, and refreshing, just like you’d get in Havana itself. The atmosphere made everything even better — everyone at the restaurant was incredibly friendly, and Stephany was especially sweet and attentive. You can tell the team genuinely cares about their guests and loves what they do. From start to finish, everything felt authentic, warm, and full of life. Havana Night isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a little piece of Cuba right here at home.

5 /5 Half Cooked: I had gotten the Ox tail with congris riso, black beans, and a Cuban beef empanada. Everything was delicious. The Ox tail was tender, seasoned well, with a little bit of heat. The congris riso and black beans were also seasoned very well. The Cuban beef empanada was also very good. I also asked to try and authentic Cuban soda. I will be coming back to try the cubano sandwich.

5 /5 Meghan Kilpatrick: When you arrive at the storefront, you are greeted by lively Cuban music playing outside, palm trees, and umbrella-topped tables. Once you walk in, you are transported out of Panama City to an authentic Cuban cafe. The atmosphere was so fun and inviting. Everything I ordered was amazing. I only wish I found this place sooner. Highly recommend.

1 /5 Steph Moti: This was my second time ordering Uber Eats from them and I regret it! I spent $50 and all of it went in the trash. My ropa vieja was sitting in oil and tasted like vinegar, the yuca al mojo had ZERO mojo and tons of raw garlic, the chicharron was not fresh, it was cold, and there was water in my container which was not condensation because it was not freshly made. I ate a few bites of the rice and some of the plantains and that was dinner. Dont even get me started on my small Tres Leches that look like vomit in a souffle cup. Never again! Uber was Zero help so my money went in the trash. I was better off getting fast food.

3 /5 Rhonda Deaton: Located near a has station, Havana nights, a sit down restaurant was a disappointment. One person waiting on a line of people. Multiple individual Cafe con leche took time from other customers. The bread of my Cuban sandwich was stale and hard. A display case filled with beautiful pastries was tempting, but I was unimpressed so didnt sample. Enjoyed the pictures of Cuba and the Cuban music tho!
