Casual Habana Cafe

"Overall Thoughts: This is a spacious, beautifully decorated restaurant serving up a varied selection of traditional Cuban dishes and quick, friendly service. The dishes were full of flavor and the one cocktail I tried was delicious. Note there's a3.5% surcharge on credit cards. Food I tried: - Oxtail Empanadas (4.5/5): This was good, with a super crispy exterior stuffed with flavorful, tender oxtail filling. Each order comes with 3 empanadas, but unfortunately you can only get one type of filling type. - Pulpo a la Plancha (seared octopus w/ twice-fried plantains) (4.3/5): The octopus was chewy on the inside, crispy/charred on the outside, and had good flavor. The fried plantain chips were pretty good but could've been crispier. - Rabo Encendido (slow braised ox tail) (4.2/5): This was good and flavorful, but pretty hard to chew with all the tough cartilage and bones. - Arroz Frito con Aguacate (cuban fried rice with chicken) (4.6/5): The fried rice was delicious, full of flavor, and the guac on top added a nice creamy kick of salty flavor. The chicken was extra $ but I wouldn't get it in the future because it was a bit overcooked. - Ropa Vieja (4.5/5): A classic, this dish had good flavor and pairs well with the dirty rice and beans. - Yuca con mojo (4.2/5): This side of steamed yuccas was buttery and mild in flavor. It was a good palate cleanser in-between bites. - Lechon Asado (4.3/5): This dish was good and had great flavors, but the meat was a bit dry. - Habana Spice cocktail (4.8/5): This drink was sweet, spiced, and really delicious. All the drinks on the menu looked delicious and creative, and I'd be interested in trying more! - Flan de la abuela caridad (Traditional cuban creme caramel abuela's recipe) (4/5): This flan was quite sweet, creamy, and eggy in flavor. It was good, but maybe wouldn't be my dessert of choice next time around. -- Price (relative to peers): 4.2/5 Food: 4.4/5 Ambience: 4.8/5 Service: 5/5 Overall Value: 4.5/5"

"The food and staff were amazing. They were very attentive and friendly. I have many food allergies and the waitress made sure my food was carefully prepared. The Fall Sangria was amazing! My family and I had a great time and recommended this great spot! Can't wait to come back!"

"OMG! The foods are delicious! The ribs in salsa de guayaba are out of this world; tender, flavorful with sweet and salty touch. The Salmon in salsa de mango was so fresh and delicious too. But the Chicken with sweet plantain and cheese was amazing, that plate was perfect too! The tostones were like chip style and so good. The service was excellent, everyone was so welcoming and friendly. They have a huge selection of alcoholic drinks and a good variety without alcohol too. Good prices for the proportions of food. Definitely this will be my #1 best cuban restaurant! 100% recommended!"
