Mandao app icon

Mandao

A Cuban delivery marketplace for restaurant meals, groceries, and other goods in selected cities, with cash or card payment.

Pro tip: Treat it as a small non-urgent test only. Confirm current coverage and stock, avoid perishables during long outages, and do not depend on a refund or a fixed delivery time.

Mandao is current on iPhone and Android and advertises restaurant food, groceries, cash or major-card payment, scheduled delivery, and live tracking. Its published city list has included Havana, Matanzas, Varadero, Cárdenas, Santa Clara, Cienfuegos, Holguín, and Trinidad, but that coverage information is old and must not be treated as a current guarantee. The operating reality changes with fuel, electricity, internet access, merchant stock, and courier supply. Recent 2026 reports show that some Cuban delivery companies temporarily stopped whole provinces, changed available items from moment to moment, or delivered only in Havana and a few other areas.

Mandao itself has recent complaints about missing products and refund problems, although other users report successful deliveries. A foreign card may be processed outside Cuba, but the store claim does not guarantee that a particular issuer, location, or order will succeed. If a traveler chooses to try it, use a small non-urgent order only after confirming the accommodation accepts deliveries, pin the exact entrance, keep the phone reachable, choose food that is safe during a power cut, and screenshot the order and refund terms. Do not rely on delivery for the first meal, a medical diet, an allergy, or food needed before travel.

Ask the casa or hotel what is actually open and stocked that day. Current shortages and refrigeration failures mean direct confirmation is more valuable than a broad catalog. Bring any medically necessary nutrition with professional and customs advice rather than expecting an app to source it.

At a glance

Not available here Uber Eats does not operate in Cuba. Mandao remains available in selected cities, but fuel, power, stock, delivery coverage, and refund reliability make it a backup rather than an essential arrival app.
