Cuban foodThe Cuban food in your hotel may seem plain but they always offer both continental or European dishes as well as local Cuban dishes. 
Here is a traditional Cuban meal: roast pork, plantain, and rice with black beans Cuban cooks do not have access to spices or the many ingredients that we take for granted which are too expensive to import. They do the very best they can with what is available, basic goods imported from the countries with which they trade.
Cuban farmers generally don’t use pesticides 
The cuisine is not sophisticated but it is freshly prepared
It has the tastes that disappeared from much of the Western world about thirty years ago, when big industry took over our farms.
Of course, there is also poor quality and over-priced food in Havana. Don’t be afraid to ask people for advice.
