Reviews Summary
El Campesino offers generous portions and a pleasant view, often praised for friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere. However, a significant number of diners report being overcharged due to a lack of displayed prices, leading to a feeling of being scammed and a poor value for the food quality. Some reviews also mention issues with cleanliness and basic amenities like running water.
"This is the best restaurant of our Cuba trip! It has an amazing view. Friendly staff took care of us really well. Portions are really big! The table was filled with local side dishes. They brought three different types of rice (black bean, pineapple and red rice), plantain chips, fruits and chicken noodle soup. It was also my mom’s birthday and a special serenade was given by a beautiful-hearted. You made us very happy, thank you!"

"They served soup, grilled Chicken and different varieties of rice. The food was really good and plenty, the atmosphere super nice with clean tablecloth, matching napkins, decoration and a great view. Super friendly staff. If you travel on a tight budget, ask for a menu and check the prices before ordering, like everywhere in Cuba."

"Hello, we were in February the recommendation of the owner of another accommodation pleased us. We went for the safe bet. The reality is different, no running water, no flush, no soap and no toilet paper. No electricity, so they turned on the power generator and it worked until 10pm.
The restaurant offered is overpriced, no price quote, we trusted, mistake. Next day on the square nice clean restaurant, half the price. Cuba libre 1,5eur, in El campesino 4eur without rum and limes. We ate fish in el campesino for 25eur, not much, three kinds of rice which was good. I don't want to recommend this ariel. They are promises and lies. They talk too much, they know little.
We didn't dare to have breakfast. We went downtown to 3J Bar Tapas for breakfast and delicious"
