Business Summary what's this?
For three star Cuban, try Havana Mania in Redondo Beach. Located in the Redondo Beach area, this restaurant is very affordable. This place features great views. Upon entering the restaurant, you'll find a romantic atmosphere.
The best mojitos you've ever had anywhere are made the old fashioned Cuban way, from scratch using a secret mixology. A look at the full bar menu would make Papa Hemingway feel right at home, with every Caribbean libation avalilabe and expertly delivered. And then you get to the food, and we won't know till the island is one day liberated if there is any restaurant on the planet with finer Cuban food. if you're serious about savoring the most delicious tastes in life then your plans will have you coming back on Tuesday night for Pig Night when Havana Mania roasts a whole pig, Cuban style. No wonder Havana Mania fans saying, "Thank god it's Tuesday!"Lunch, Dinner and Nightlife Served Daily!

I love this place. I love the Oxtail or the roast pork. Both dishes are very succulent and full of flavor. In addition, you have to try their fresh Mojitos. They are off the hook. Happy eating!
