What People Are Saying About Mojitos Cuban Cuisine
The Owner
Mojitos Cuban Cuisine
Owner
The kitchen staff prides itself with preparing and serving the most authentic Cuban dishes ranging from Palomilla Steak and Shrimp Creole to the traditional Cuban Sandwich. Make sure to leave room for one of our famous desserts, like Arroz com Leche (rice pudding) or Flan de Queso (cheese custard), just to name a few. After dinner, you can dance some salsa, cha cha cha, or maybe even a mambo to the traditional Cubans sounds of our in-house band Mojito Son.

In Short – This lively Cuban cantina is as adventurous as the lime-and-rum drink it's named for. The dining area reflects a colonial Havana, featuring bright tile floors, stained glass windows, hand-stenciled chair rails and a mosaic fountain. The food, spiked with sweet-and-smoky spices, ranges from palomilla steak and shrimp Creole to the classic Cuban sandwich. Stick to the creamy flan for dessert--it does the classic dessert justice. The festive vibe continues throughout the night as live music plays to a dance floor of revelers.

HORRIBLE SERVICE, TERRIBLE MANAGEMENT!!!
by Critic717 at Citysearch
Our waiter was rude, barely checked on us, and we had to literally chase him down to order! After our meal, we ordered a round of espressos, dessert, Mojitos and closed out the tab so that we wouldn?t have to chase him down anymore and to then fully enjoy the dining experience?.Haha, we?re we in for a surprise! Even though we had just started our drinks, we were then approached by our waiter stating ?The Manager would like to know if we will be leaving soon.? In shock and thinking I had misunderstood, I asked him to repeat. Nope, I heard correctly- ?The Manager would like to know if we will be leaving soon, so that he can give your table to someone else.? So, I asked to speak with him, thinking maybe there was still a misunderstanding, and why the Manager, of all people would request this, while we are still consuming our drinks. Of course, when the Manager arrived to our table, he knew nothing of this matter and it was obvious it was the waiter, just trying to get us out and move someone else into our spot for his own profit. The manager didn?t even apologize, but tried clearing it up by saying there will be a 2 drink minimum soon, to stay for the music. Now, if we had finished our drinks, I would have no problem ordered a few more rounds, in fact that?s what we were debating. However, I must admit, what a rude and embarrassing situation that was! In fact, that was the most we had seen of our waiter the whole night, when he was asking us to leave!!! Needless to say, we left and will NEVER return, at least under THAT management. Want demeaning treatment? Go to Mojitos!

Poor Service and Horrible Management
by yahaira14 at Citysearch
If I could mark this restaurant with less than a 1 I would. Terrible service and terrible management. The drinks are great but the service was terrible. I recommended this place as a happy hour and received had such a terrible experience. The waiter even tried adding more drinks on our bill that we didn't order. The manager was inexperienced and extremely unprofessional. There are much better places than this restaurant. Please do not go - you will have a terrible experience.
- Pros: Drinks are good
- Cons: Service and manager were terrible and inexperienced
