Café Habana

Cuban restaurant · Nolita

@infatuation

"So many restaurants in Nolita are pricey, underwhelming, and impossible to get into—but Café Habana is none of those things. Open since 1998, this little Cuban-Mexican restaurant looks like a retro diner, with chrome-legged chairs and a soundtrack that bounces between salsa and Calvin Harris. You can easily get out of here for under $30 per person, and the food always gets the job done. Try the crispy Cubano, the tostones with guacamole, or the roasted pork with rice and beans. A frozen margarita is optional, but highly recommended." - bryan kim
