Cafe Habana

We had the fish tacos and the cubano sandwich. The tacos were just OK. Felt like the seasoning needed to be tweaked. The cubano was good with perfect cubano bread. the Pork was a bit dry, like it spent too much time in a crock pot. Service was attentive and good. The place is a bit dark, so you might have a rough time reading the menu.

Came for a late lunch. Service was great, food came out hot and fresh. A little skimpy on the avocado and the spanish rice was lightly flavored but it still made for a great meal. Get the dessert ice cream churro, even if you're full, its not that big but deliciousness is over the top!

I tried this place about 6 months ago when I was in search of a Taco Tuesday deal. Unfortunately, this place had no such thing. I ordered two tacos (steak and salmon) and they were served with beans and rice. I got a beer with it and my bill totaled about $25, which wasn't really ideal, but I really enjoyed the food nonetheless. The meat quality was very good. Both had a very soft texture and it seemed to just melt in your mouth. They were also seasoned very appropriately; not too much and not too little. The texture of the beans were so smooth that they were almost creamy. Even the rice was nice and moist with lots of flavor. The chips and salsa were pretty good as well. I really liked the atmosphere of this place. It had somewhat of an elegant, high end appearance inside, but had more of a cozy feel as I was sitting at the bar. The bartender was very personable and friendly. The place was not that crowded, so we chitchated about hiking, basketball, and some other things about the LA area. It's definitely always good talking to locals about what to do in the area. Overall, while this wasn't particularly the kind of place that I had in mind, the food was very good. The prices aren't low but the quality does kind of make up for it.

This place doesn’t get enough attention! Cafe Habana is a great spot for casual v delicious food: dinner/drinks. Great management, great staff made the experience wonderful! - Margarita was made w freshest lime juice (really different!) - Kale* salad (w separate on a side) salmon was rare-delicious, salmon was perfectly cooked: moist, tender, buttery, just perfect! **prep urself for some jaw work with any kale salad, haha. - Chicken enchilada was also tasteful, all of their ingredients were super fresh and (personally-surprisingly) all Organic. Pics were taken after 30 mins being in a box. Would def recommend this place for spontaneous great dining/lunch/drinks!

I visited here for the second time and in summary it's a decent meal with some great drinks. Nothing about this place has a wow factor, although I do get a sense that it has some heart... at least the bartender does. I think it's a decent experience without too much effort in the sense of you just show up and get sat right away. The staff is nice and attentive but not your typical corporate server type. If you're out shopping and looking for an easy meal, check it out! Foodies may not be impressed.

The food was SO GOOD (all caps). Go here!! You can also make any of their alcoholic drinks virgin. Service was friendly and atmosphere is so cute and charming. Definitely insta worthy.

The place is clean and well maintained. The food is nowhere near Mexican. The guacamole is mashed avocado with barely any flavor. The magaritas were too sweet and not enough alcohol. Maybe get the rice bowl. Can’t screw that up. The lady that served us also had a bad attitude and wasn’t too friendly. I wanted to like this place but I feel like they need this. Maybe they’ll get it together.

asked for an inside table and they sat us on the on the patio. i’m sure it’s really nice out there on a warm summer day. restaurant was busy on a saturday evening. waiter was nice, but mostly kind of ignored us. strawberry basil margarita just tasted like a regular margarita. looked nice though. carne asada was delicious. wish it came with plantains, but you have to order it separate.
