Reviews for Alma de Cuba in Philadelphia, PA
Amazing food!! Like so very flavorful. We had the lechón and the vaca frita as well as flan. And man we were taken on a journey... to heaven with the food. Not only that, but the food was a great portion. The mojitos were also so very delicious!! My husbandand I have been to Havana multiple times and this place was not only authentic but the food was also so memorable. The servicewas amazing, we sat at the bar and our bartender was very attentive. Definitely planning to come back again and again. Read more
I stopped by here to get something to eat before heading out to a party. It was my first time here and didn't know what to... expect. But let me tell you how surprised I was! The inside of this place is so beautiful. It's a little dark, but not to thepoint that you can't see lol. It actually added to the beauty of the restaurant. Our server was awesome! He recommended some oftheir restaurant's best sellers, which we decided to try and they were amazing! I can't remember the name of the dish I ordered,but it was so good! The meat was slightly charred on the outside, but soft and tender in the middle. It was perfect! Woulddefinitely recommend and I definitely will be going back! Read more
Great service and ambiance. The appetizers were scrumptious. This restaurant is a bit pricey but worth it. Must try the suave ... mojito. Definitely will be going back again. Read more
We had a lovely evening at Alma de Cuba. It was a Tuesday night and we started with happy hour. Drinks were strong for the $6... pricetag. We both preferred the passion fruit mojito to the regular. The empanadas were hot and had excellent flavor. Definitelya great happy hour deal. Next we went upstairs and ordered our entrees. We were brought pan de Bono, little cheesy bread bites,which may have been the best things all night. Our food came out quickly and was delicious. We had no complaints at all aboutthe food or service. The only thing that could have been improved upon was the seating. The seats where very far apart from oneanother and while it wasn't loud it did make conversation a bit awkward. Overall if your looking for a $100 dinner with drinks,this is a good contender.

Love this place- especially for happy hour! Their appetizers are delicious, filling, and super inexpensive during HH and their... drinks are delicious! Definitely try the fried yucca and the flavored mojitos (frozen guava was my fave). Read more
I really love the ambience of this place - it has a real old Cuban vibe. For my main I ordered the Vaca Frita, which was good... and very filling. I had a classic mojito to drink, and it was mostly rum based. It was strong and not too sweet. My onlycomplaint is the slowness of the service on a Friday evening, my group constantly had to look for our server. Read more
Alma de Cuba, is a upscale restaurant with a really nice setting, friendly waiters, and "ok" food. Even though I had a good... time, which is mainly to do the family and friends I ate with and the setting, the food wasn't the reason. Beautiful atmospherefor sure. Excellent drinks aswell. So if your looking for a good time with some cocktails and friends it's an excellent place.However if it's for dinner, I would respectfully choose another place. But that's just my opinion which means it doesn't meanyour taste in food is the same as mine. Read more
