Guantanamera... great Cuban food, music and drinks!

Guantanamera is a great, fun Cuban restaurant on 8th Ave and 56th Street.

What to know before you go:

Guantanamera has tasty Cuban food in the mid-price range and offers live music every day. The restaurant is pretty nice, so you need to dress appropriately (meaning, no sneakers, etc.). It's also pretty small, so reservations are ideal. Since the restaurant is on the smaller side, it can get pretty loud and may not be the best place if you are looking to have an intimate conversation over dinner... but it is definitely a great place for good food and fun!

When you're there:

They have live Cuban music every day starting at 8:30pm which is great but is the reason why it can get loud. The restaurant is pretty small and the band uses microphones so, you won't be able to hear much more than the music when you go.

The restaurant offers several great Cuban dishes with appetizers ranging from $7-$12 and entrees ranging from $15-$25.

If you are into cigars, they have a hand roller on the premises and their website says that cigars are complimentary for Guantanamera customers. I'm not a cigar smoker, so I am the wrong person to ask about this (click the "about us" link on the website for more information).

Other fun offers from the restaurant are Mojito Tuesdays when you can drink up $5 Mojitos all night and Ladies' night on Mondays with $5 drinks all night!
