Servico service service, buenísimo! Excellent food and highly underrated favorite of mine. Tired of the usual lunch spots, try Habana Vieja you will be wowed and served delicious authentic Cuban food. I put this place at the top for me. ????

This restaurant is a breath of fresh air in this quasi industrial area close to downtown Torrance. I ordered the chicken steak lunch--the 'rabo encendido' plate, I thought, was a bit pricey.

I first dined here around 2016 and the food was GREAT. The oxtail was phenomenal! About 2019 they changed the menu and the recipes. I could tell because they also changed the way they served the food on the dishes.
I went back a couple of times to give them a fair chance in case I caught them on a bad night. Sadly, was still mediocre. ????
Perhaps they changed management or the recipes, but I just do not care for it anymore.

GREAT SERVICE, EVEN BETTER FOOD. The bread and frijole mix served as curtesy was amazing and the food got better from there. Yucca and Chicharron appetizer could nearly be a plate on its own, and the PAELLA was perfect albeit slightly different than traditional, but in a very good way.(white sauce on the clams is spectacular).Clams ,muscles, shrimp,octopus steak slivers ,scallops all cooked perfectly and the saffron rice mix was impeccable.. Best meal I've had in a while, and one of the best Paellas I've ever eaten. Hats off to the chef of this great restaurant.

Ropa vieja is what I decided to order because of all the yelp reviews. Everything was good except the meat was too gamey.
I was having a hard time chewing so I know my grandma was having trouble and sure enough she also agreed with me
We also ordered the vaca frita, that was good. Also Bistec empanizado and Yuca that was good.

So I love Cuban food , I gave this place a shot. Despite having good customer service and warm food it I got to say my plate was a bit bland and burnt . I’m withhold the photo. Bought only a hour open and not busy so I guess I expected near perfect experience. I rather drive to downey then come here again

Found this place online while staying in an nearby hotel and after visiting Cuba a few years ago had to come and try. Ordered a traditional Cubano sandwich and it was brilliant. Authentic great Cuban taste. Marinated meats with mustard on fresh toasted roll and served with fries. I also ordered a white coffee which was sweet just as I remember. Great lunch. Totally full and totally met my expectations. The location isn’t huge but has seating for maybe 40 people. Service was great even though I sadly don’t speak Spanish the menu was easy and I was tempted by so many dishes. Will definitely go back. Can highly recommend. Parking is easy just outside

After I left work I decided to have early dinner and I found near by this Restaurant.
It said Cuban food but with all due respect.
What a horrible taste of food.
I was dying to try the moros y cristianos but oh my Lord what a disappointment.
I have tried many times Cuban food and this was not Cuban food.
Service was lousy. I ordered extra beans but the the taste was not black beans taste.
Take a look at the color of the moros y cristianos. That is not Cuban.
What an insult to Cuban Cuisine .

The food was nasty had the Valencia paella and the bistek de palomilla I can honestly say it was the worst food I’ve ever had in my life. Just straight disgusting. No flavor, chewy, and just plain . Worst experience ever and not to forget they called me to go back for a plate they forgot to give me. I won’t ever go back!!!!
