Located on the beautiful shores of Lake Norman, Havana 33 is more than just a restaurant—it’s a destination. Founded by Valentino Panizzut and Heriberto Chavez (the same team behind local favorites like Burrito Loco and Juan Loco), Havana 33 was born from a desire to share the rich, bold heritage of Cuban culture with our North Carolina neighbors.Under the expertise of Chef Rene Garcia, our kitchen serves up authentic dishes that stay true to their roots. From the sizzle of our lechon asado to the perfect press of a classic Cuban sandwich, every bite is a tribute to the Old Havana tradition.

Rice and black beans and some shredded meat for $23. After gratuity and credit card surcharge and tax, ended up being $30. I feel ripped off.
Yes, they charge 3% credit card surcharge.
I cannot recommend this restaurant.
From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch, warm, attentive, and quick. The staff made me feel celebrated, cared for, and the atmosphere was the perfect mix of relaxation (excellent view of Lake Norman) and vibrant Cuban music.
Now the food… absolutely delicious in the best way possible! Every bite was bursting with flavor, rich, soulful, and clearly made with care and tradition. You could truly taste the authenticity in every bite.
And just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, they brought out their house-made vanilla ice cream for my birthday. WOW. It was light, silky, and perfectly sweet. Hands down one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. The ice ooo cream alone deserves its own five stars!
I left full, happy, and genuinely impressed. Havana 33 didn’t just serve great food, they delivered a great experience. If you’re new to Cuban cuisine, this is the perfect place to fall in love with it.
Can’t wait to come back. Thank you, Havana 33, for making my birthday unforgettable!
A very satisfied (and full) first-time guest
The seafood was so fresh and delicious!
All the flavors were so phenomenal!!
Everyone absolutely loved their meals; no notes.
Also, the drinks were on point (mojitos and a beer).
Service was attentive and speedy.
The atmosphere was lovely.
We sat outside a few hours before sunset. Amazing view on the water. A few baby dragon flies, but the bugs were minimal for NC standards.
My in-laws moved down here over a year ago and have always said they haven’t found a good place to eat out – everything in the area is OK at best. That changed tonight!! They found their new favorite local spot and are so excited for the next visit!!

I simply had to write a five-star review for Havana 33 after my second, and equally fantastic, visit! This place is hands down the best Cuban food around the Charlotte area—it’s truly spectacular.
The food is absolutely amazing. I ordered the Masa Frita, and it was perfectly seasoned and tender. My daughter, Aria, got the Ropa Vieja, which she devoured, confirming the kitchen’s mastery of the Cuban classics. Every bite was an explosion of authentic flavor.
To complement the meal, I tried the Old Cuban cocktail, and it was delicious—a perfect blend of ingredients that was refreshing and potent.
Now, a small note: the service can, at times, be a little slow, but please do not let this deter you! I highly recommend you just order the Cuban Sandwich Egg Rolls (a must-try appetizer!) and a drink as soon as you sit down, and the entire experience will be 100% worth the wait.
Havana 33 offers fantastic Cuban cuisine that will transport you to the streets of Havana. We will absolutely be back!
