"This is not the place to have a deep conversation, because you won’t be able to hear yourself speak, but Old’s is the kind of restaurant where diners can stand and clap, cheering on a live band with a drink in hand while waiting for the main course. The self-proclaimed “house of the mojito” hosts happy hour Monday through Thursday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and is open daily. Must-try dishes include the sloppy Joes-style media noche sandwich, vaca frita, lechon asado (slow-roasted traditional Cuban pork), fish croquetas, and the coconut flan." - Allison Ramirez
