Are you on your way to Ocean City? Maybe heading south to Virginia Beach. If you’re ready for lunch or dinner, then Havana 13 is an excellent break from your long drive. If you’re a local then you definitely have got to make your way to this awesome restaurant. We were on a weekend trip to Ocean City. After getting past the tunnel traffic, we decided it was time for dinner. Unfortunately, many of the restaurants along Highway 13 close by 8 o’clock. As we searched for a restaurant, we found Havana 13. We arrived at 8:30 keeping in mind that the restaurant closed at nine. As we walked in, we were immediately greeted by the White staff and the bartender. We told them that we would be quick, and their response was take your time. Havana 13 turned out to be a lucky strike. The cuisine was absolutely delicious. As I mentioned earlier, the weight staff is exceptional. Thank you for an awesome break to our evening drive! We’ll definitely make Havana 13 hour restaurant of choice whenever we’re traveling on Highway 13!

I really can't say enough good things about this restaurant. We love the Cubano, the empanadas, the wings, and the tre leches cake. The rasta pasta is great too. Once we discovered it, we have been visiting every couple weeks and we live an hour away! They are super nice and the service is great. Highly recommend!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The inside is cute and bright and clean. The service was quick and the staff were so friendly. I got the pork and rice and the pork was so tender and flavorful and the rice and plantains were yummy! The cubanos were massive and amazing. They have a good selection of cocktails as well. Will definitely be back!

Ordered the empanadas and they were amazing. The beef and shrimp both had great flavor and were filled with the meat filling. I also ordered the hot honey wings and really enjoyed those as well. I will definitely go back again.

Beautiful and very quint place. The atmosphere is very inviting to conversation in tête-à-tête. Music isn’t too loud. The decor is very pleasing to the eyes. Bathrooms are clean. Food is amazingly delicious. If you ever visit please try the Mangu. The complementary sauce is succulent. Not too greasy not too light either. Species are well diffused throughout the entire dish. The efforts that the chef took to prepare this dish permeates the entire meal. Also try the Red snapper with that sauce. Again the chef did his magic again. Well done. Hope the place stays open for a long time on the Eastern Shore of Va.

Randomly happened by on a drive up north and it was the perfect end to a beautiful day. Jennifer at The bar was amazing in the food beyond words. I will go out of my way to come back. Stopped back for a third time and will be back.
