This is the best Cuban sandwich I have had North of Key West. Small and counter take out only… but this was fantastic. All made from scratch by the owners Selma and Miquel. We got a Cuban and a chicken sandwich.. and a fresh empanada that was made while we were there. Definitely will be going back again.

Major hidden gem in the Hartselle area! 4.5/5.
I made the drive over after working in Decatur just to try Old Havana Cafe. It’s in a sort of nondescript shopping mall. As other reviewers have mentioned, this is a carryout only establishment. However, they do have a few chairs and a comfy loveseat to sit on while you wait for your order.
I didn’t order ahead but I was able to place my order at the counter. The menu online is more extensive than the menu on the board behind the register, so I’m not certain of what all is usually available. I wound up ordering a Cubano and a guava and cream cheese pastry.
The man who came out to take my order and delivered it to me when it was finished was unbelievably warm and welcoming. He had such a calm and gentle demeanor and made me feel right at home. Definitely a highlight.
My food took a few minutes to come out but overall was well within a reasonable time to wait; it was very hot and fresh. It was wrapped nicely and delivered to my waiting hands. I took it out to the car to eat.
The cuban sandwich was quite good. Symphony of mustard, savory and slightly sweet ham, and sour pickles. Really good flavors, and piled high between the bread. My one small complaint is that previously the bread I’ve had on really good Cuban sandwiches has been a bit crispier than this particular one; it was a little more chewy than I’ve had in the past. Very very minor though, and more a preference than anything I suppose.
That guava and cream cheese pastry, though….whewwwwww. It was my first time having a freshly fried one and oh my GOODNESS it was delicious. The guava was sticky and syrupy sweet, balanced by the creamy and dense cream cheese. The pastry was scalding hot and delightfully flaky. It was too rich to eat in one sitting, but so completely delightful.
Although it’s certainly a drive for me in normal circumstances, I’ll happily return when in the area. I’ve tried a good handful of Hartselle area restaurants, and this stands out as one of the best.

I went down to Hartselle to visit friends and stopped by this place on the way back because I LOVE Cuban food. I grew up in south Florida and fondly recalled eating pressed Cubans growing up. I’ve been chasing that high ever since! Usually I’m left disappointed, but this Cuban was very good and extremely delicious. Not perfect, but maybe memory is better than real life at this point haha. The empinada was also delicious. Staff was friendly. I ate both on the hood if my car in the parking lot because I’m a savage and they sadly don’t have dine in seating. Definitely check them out!

The food was pretty good but the portion size is not a good value for the price. It also took 25-30 minutes for my food after I ordered even though I was the only one there.
No dine in seat available either.

Takeout only but they have some of the best food in the 256. I would put the Steak Cuban in the top three best sandwiches I’ve ever had. My family agreed. Very friendly staff and fairly priced. $13ish for a steak sandwich and fries.

The owners are the kindest most helpful people I have ever met. We ordered two meals for friends that had just suffered a great loss. We ordered it to be Door Dashed. The door dasher only left one half the order. I called the cafe to make sure they had received my whole order. Miguel told me he would deliver the rest of the order personally and he did. He went above and beyond to make sure our friends received their meal. Door Dash also compensated for their mistake but the family of Old Havana are angels on earth. We are so thankful for what they did for our friends. Thank you Miguel and family❤️

Seriously one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The Cuban steak sandwich truly hit the spot and my husband and I both ranked it one of the top 5 sandwiches we’ve ever had. The service was top notch also. Can’t recommend this place enough and it is SO worth driving out of the way to come try it. Support local business and try this place out!
