Havana Harry's

A Coral Gables favorite since 1995, Havana Harry's is a locals' joint, thanks to the innovative take on typical Cuban fare: tostones guayberos is fried plantains covered with pulled pork and barbecue sauce, for instance, while chicken "tamarimango" is poultry in a tangy tamarind and mango sauce. A nod to Americans who lunch - Harry's also offers large main plate salads and plenty of less-fattening options than the usual Cuban restaurant. Still, the traditional stuff, such as black beans and fried pork, is as good here as anywhere Thanks to those something-for-everybody sensibilities, Harry's is often packed at lunch and there's frequently a wait at dinner, with happy patrons enjoying tropical cocktails prior to being seated. The atmosphere, warm and friendly, has changed little over the years, and a second location in Kendall has debuted.
