When you step inside, you feel like you’re in Cuba! First time here and we’ll be back soon. The food was well-seasoned and delicious. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. There are a variety of dishes and I’m excited to try them all!

Very happy we discovered this place! Food was great, owners/staff were very friendly and the atmosphere is exactly what you want from a Cuban restaurant. We went on Sunday and they had dominos out and people playing.

Definitely recommend.

We are visiting from Nova Scotia and this was our first experience of Cuban cuisine. We enjoyed every aspect of our dining experience and definitely recommend it.

What a gem! We stumbled into La Palada H&H on 242 Bronson while running late for a concert, and the lineup was long, the staff was incredibly accommodating—letting us pop in when I really needed to use the restroom. We decided to stay for a quick drink, and wow, their mojito was absolutely amazing! Fresh, perfectly balanced, and bursting with flavor. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was top-notch. Can’t wait to come back and properly enjoy this spot. Highly recommend!

From the very first bite of the fish croquette, I knew the experience was going to be great—and it was, all the way to the last spoonful of the delicious flan we had for dessert. The flavor and quality of the dishes are exceptional. What a fantastic example of Latin American cuisine! I’ll definitely be back.
