I absolutely love this place! I've been here a few times and tried several dishes, and everything has been fantastic. The empanadas are great, the grilled lamb chops is a must-try, and the chimichurri steak is tender and flavorful. Their paella is also great and authentic. The service is always friendly and quick, making the whole experience even better.

Very lively location at night. This place was so chill and the ambience was great. A little too dark of a lighting to take pictures in, but the food was great and the service was great too. For vegan food, I'm not mad at it. I've always wanted to try fried plantains and steak with chimchurri sauce. Oh it was so good I did a happy dance. We also ordered the paella to share, but I still enjoyed the other dishes more. Definitely a good place to try if you're in the Walnut Creek downtown area.

Love this place! First time here and I will be coming back! This is the only place let us reserve for 15 people for a baby shower! Thank you for that. Some places wanted us to spend $60 per person (crazy) , other place only 8 people max( what's with that? Ahaha) Anyway.... Food 10/10 love all the food we got. Steak Paella Plantain chips with avocado Drinks 10/10 it might not be that accurate for others because got the dessert root-beer with vodka and vanilla ice cream hehehe Ambience really nice too. Parking is hard. So park in the garage near by. P.s but i do agree that the gratuity should only count towards the food prices not including the tax.

I came here with some girlfriends on a Saturday afternoon with reservations. This place was packed and I can see why! The service was fantastic, the food was also really good and the drinks were too. The apps we ordered were the croquettes (5pcs), those were yummy it reminded me of ham and cheese hot pockets in the best way possible. We also ordered the wings (6pcs) which were delicious! I would definitely order those again the sauce was so flavorful and the wings were still crispy. The steak and eggs came with yucca fries and chimichurri sauce and it was so yummy! I do feel like the portion size was small :/ The chicken and waffles were so good and nicely balanced, I love the habanero butter that it came with too. The star of the table was definitely the plantain French toast! The toast was cooked and it almost tasted like caramel yummmm! We opted for the bottomless mojitos, the guava flavor was definitely the way to go! I do see myself coming back here again whether it be for brunch, lunch, or dinner. It is super cute and cozy inside!

Havana ooh na na~ I first dined at Havana a few years ago, and I finally got to revisit this past weekend! I made a reservation through Yelp and managed to get a table to dine in 1.5 hours. We arrived a bit early but were seated right away, and our orders came out quickly too. We started with the Mojo Chicken Wings to share. The order comes with 5 wings and they were flavorful and nicely sized. For my entree, I chose the Plantain Crusted True Cod. It was absolutely delicious, with the cod being perfectly tender. The Cuban Corn Sauté that accompanied it was a delightful addition. I also really like how they have an extensive mojito menu, with options to order pitchers! We tried the Mango-Habanero and Hibiscus Ginger mojitos. The Mango-Habanero was a standout with its spicy kick, while the Hibiscus Ginger was less to my liking. It seems they offer seasonal mojitos, which is a fun touch. I've enjoyed Havana both times coming here and can't wait to come back when we're in town. The prices are on the higher end, but the food and drinks are so worth it.

I've had the pleasure of dining at Havana in Walnut Creek a couple of times now, and it has quickly become one of our favorite spots when we're in town. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, making it a perfect place to unwind and enjoy a great meal. One of the highlights for me is their impressive array of mojitos. My absolute favorite is the Mango Habanero Mojito - it's the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. We also tried the Hibiscus Flower Mojito, which was also really good. On my last visit, I ordered the Chimichurri Steak, and it was cooked to perfection, just the way I like it. The flavors were spot on, and it was truly a delicious dish. Havana is definitely a must-visit for me whenever I'm in the area, and I plan to continue coming back whenever I'm in Northern California

This restaurant is very lively, nicely decorated and has kind staff. They have the best mojitos ever and on Mondays it's mojito Monday so half off mojitos! The chimichuirri steak was perfection. Cooked to perfection and the sauce is perfect. Super filling and delicious. My friends loved their dishes as well! The only downside was the ceviche, there was only four pieces of fish and it was a sweet mandarin sauce. I didn't think it was worth it but I should've asked what it was before I ordered.
