The Benedit Family was the first to introduce a comprehensive Cuban menu to Atlanta's restaurant market.
They launched their first restaurant on Buford Highway on Feb. 9, 1976, and Ms. Benedit found o…
Love, love, love the food here. The Ropa Vieja is a go to comfort food for me. I could eat it for lunch and dinner every day. The Cuban is perfectly appointed and toasted. The rice and beans are seasoned well and cooked exactly right. It's one of my favorite restaurants.

The Ropa Vieja is a favorite of mine and absolutely go-to comfort food for me. I wish the portion size was larger, but the portion sizes are reasonable. I mix the black beans and yellow rice together and savor every bite. I love this place. Definitely recommend.

The best food that I've ever gotten from DoorDash. Arrived fresh and surprisingly the bread didn't get soggy on the way here. Their Cuban is legit and authentic. They didn't skimpy on the meat and it's very flavorful. I also got an Picadillo/cheese or Picadillo/jalepeno/cheese empanada that was crispy upon arrival. I am definitely checking out their brick & mortar the next time I'm in ATL because it's super delicious.

I fell in love with Havana 30 years ago and have been a regular since. After my divorce, I would take my first dates there, and if they didn't like it, there was no second date. Of course, I took my children there and my daughter is a regular. I live in AL and always make time to get a meal there when I come to ATL. My daughter was ill and called me needing food to be delivered. Being considerate, she said fast food was fine. I had never used Door dash, but I got the app and ordered fast food, Havana style. The Door Dash delivery was less than 30 min, and since I ordered the full Cuban plate, she had enough for two meals. Havana has truly authentic Cuban food, and Door dash delivers it fast!! GREAT PAIR!!

• DoorDash review
I'm updating my review because I originally thought it came without black beans, but I'm dumb. They were in the bag and I just discovered them as I was throwing out the packaging. Here's my original review, minus the bit about the missing black beans:
The picadillo was underwhelming. To be fair, my grandmother was Cuban, so I have high standards, but I've found other Cuban restaurants that do picadillo well. I would've preferred it to come with white rice, but it came with yellow.
To give credit where it's due, the platanos maduros are delicious, and the arroz con leche is pretty good as well.
Also, my dasher forgot my batido, and the restaurant proactively let Door Dash know to offer me credit for it.
That was much appreciated, and you don't see that a lot from restaurants. So overall, four stars, but man, that picadillo does not merit that fifth star, as much as l would like to give it.
