Fodor's Review:

When Cuban families want a home-cooked meal but don't want to cook it themselves, they come to this big, unassuming restaurant. In fact, you're likely to see whole families here, from babes in arms to grandmothers. The fare is traditional Cuban: the long thin steaks known as bistec palomilla, roast chicken with citrus marinade, and fried pork chunks; contemporary flourishes—mango sauce and guava-painted pork roast—are kept to a minimum. Most dishes come with white rice, black beans, and a choice of ripe or green plantains. The sweet ripe ones offer a good contrast to the savory dishes. This is an excellent value. Start with the $5.95 mariquitas (plantain chips) with guacamole.

This was never anything special. (Truth be told, Cuban cuisine for the most part is little distinguishable at most Miami restaurants from the simplest peasant roots whenc it derives.)

Havana Harry's WAS at least a nice, low-key, clean, comfortable, neighborhodd hang-out.

Last I was there (5, 6 weeks ago) I had a truly miserably prepared chicken (a la vaca frita) and a draft Heinekin that was warmish and off-tasting.

I won't return.
