Guest reviews
We had such a great experience here! From the moment we walked in, the entire staff made us feel welcome and taken care of. Our waiter was absolutely fantastic—attentive, friendly, and genuinely kind. He made sure our drinks were always filled, checked in at the perfect times, and gave great recommendations. You can tell customer service truly matters to this team. The food was just as impressive—fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Every dish we ordered was delicious, and you could really taste the quality. It’s rare to find a place that nails both service and food, but they absolutely do. Hands down one of the best spots in the AV when it comes to customer service and overall tasty food. We’ll definitely be back!
If you are looking for an unforgettable night out, Baracoa Cuban Restaurant truly stands in a league of its own. The food is absolutely delicious, every dish is packed with flavor, and clearly made with care. But what really sets them apart is the incredible entertainment, specially Havana Night. The atmosphere is lively, the music and dancing make the whole experience come alive, and it turns a full night of fun. On top of that the owner Tony and his staff are absolutely outstanding, friendly, attentive and genuinely welcoming, which makes the experience even more special. There’s no need to travel out of town when we have something this special right here in our city. It’s the perfect spot for a tasty dinner, great vibes, and an amazing time. I highly recommend checking it out - you won’t forget it!
Absolutely amazing. This is hands down the best Cuban restaurant I’ve tried in California. I was born and raised in Cuba, so I know what real Cuban food should taste like and this place truly delivers. The food was outstanding. I had the ropa vieja with black beans, white rice, and fried plantains, and it was perfection. Every bite tasted like home. Desserts were also excellent. Service was just as great, Jose was our server and he was fantastic, and we even had the pleasure of meeting the chef Carlos. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and beautifully done. Highly recommend. I can’t wait to come back.
