El Rincón de la Habana Madrid

Mojitos perfected

Álvaro from Madrid

"The mojitos here are unparalleled; fresh mint, the perfect amount of sugar, and rum combine in harmony to create a drink that's both refreshing & powerful."

From the outside, it may not look like much, but stepping inside is like being transported straight to the vibrant streets of Havana. It's a cosy retreat from the city's fast pace, where the warmth of Cuban hospitality envelops you the moment you enter.

The magic of El Rincón de La Habana lies not just in its authentic décor or the soothing rhythms of Cuban music that fill the air, but in the incredible cocktails that are made with care and tradition. The mojitos here are unparalleled; fresh mint, the perfect amount of sugar, and rum combine in harmony to create a drink that's both refreshing and powerful. The owner, Rafa, with his welcoming smile and knack for mixing drinks, adds a personal touch that makes each visit memorable.

This place might not boast lavish furniture or a grand setting, but it doesn't need to. The genuine atmosphere, exceptional drinks, and Rafa's hospitality make El Rincón de La Habana a cherished gem in Madrid. It’s a testament to the idea that sometimes the most memorable experiences come from the simplest places. Here, it's all about savouring the moment, one sip at a time.
