Latin American Food to Try

“If you're looking for authentic Cuban food, this is the place to go. The food was so good we came back a second night for dinner. Oh and the empanadas are to die for. Family owned and operated, great food and super neat decor.”

“Grabbed some take out tonight. Tried the Ropa Viejo, Picadillo, some croquettes, and the empanadas. Our main dishes came with rice and black beans which were fantastic, as was, well everything. It was all absolutely delicious. We will definitely be ordering again. I can't wait to try some of the pork and chicken dishes next time out.”

Chicken Salteado/"Fajitas"

$12.99

Grilled chicken strips with tomato sauce, onions, peppers and black beans.

“Cute little place in downtown Bartow. The people there are super nice, especially the older lady. Feels less like a restaurant and more like your best friend's mom cooking for you. I got the Chicken Salteado (pictured right), and my partner got the Ropa Veja (pictured left) and a chicken empanada. Super flavorful, the beef and chicken were so tender. I had to substitute vegetables for rice due to medical issues, and it's really nice to have a place treat it like food instead of an afterthought. Also, the cortadito makes life feel a lot better”

“We were looking for something different to try and went to Havana Delights Cafe & Catering in Bartow. I had the cuban with ana beef empanada, son had the midnight and empanada, hubby had the thin top sirloin. I have to say that's the best Cuban I've had. The bread was authentic and very flavorful. The steak was a huge serving with vegetables. Definitely will go back.”

The Elena Ruz Sandwich

$12.50

Turkey, cream cheese, and strawberry preserves on sweet bread.

“Had the Elena Ruth sandwich and it was so good. Sweet and savory and delicious. Sliced turkey breast, cream cheese and strawberry preserves served as a hot sandwich with potato sticks sprinkled on top. Deviled crab was also good but couldn’t even finish it after devouring my sandwich. My husband had the Cuban and loved it, he also ate both potato balls we ordered. Will be back”

Yucca

$4.25

“Wow!!! I used to live in Key West many years ago and my favorite food became Cuban food. My mom moved to Winterhaven and I came to visit, needing Cuban food. Omg, this Rooa Vieja and Palomilla Steak with Yellow Rice and Beans was amazing. Don’t get me started on the Fried Plantains and Yucca!! There will no visiting my mom without a trips to Havana Delights Cafe!!”

Grilled Blackened Fish Fillet

$14.99

Grilled fish with onions and garlic sauce comes with black beans.

“Wonderful authentic Cuban restaurant recommended by a local friend. Had the garlic blackened fish with rice and black beans - done perfectly and so moist, flavorful. Not spicy but great garlic flavor and a perfect white fish for this dish. In the catfish family but more the consistency of sea bass just not as thick a cut. Loved it and will gladly recommend and come back to sample some of their beef and chicken dishes from ‘Mama’s’ and Papa’s Kitchen. Cute place - love the nostalgic atmosphere.”

Thin Sirloin Steak/"Palomilla"

$14.99

Thin sirloin, black beans, onions, and a choice of white or yellow rice.

“My husband and I ventured and found this lil hidden gem. I felt like I was eating at my mom's house. I had a delicious palomilla steak, white rice and black beans with a side of tostones and salad. My husband had the Miami sandwich (Cuban with chorizo sausage). Both meals were sooooo delicious and savory. Ended the meal with a steaming cortadito. Our waitress was soooooo sweet and attentive. Excellent experience!”
