Editorial Review for Habana Cuba – by Laura Reiley and Citysearch Staff
In Short
Two levels of seating include an outdoor patio and two private rooms. Portions are a lumberjack's dream. Tostones take a little time to prepare, but the fried green plantains are addictive. The garlic grilled chicken has serious fans, as does the slow roasted pork. Like every Cuban grandmother makes, the chicken soup is restorative. There are also dishes that hail more from Brazil or Puerto Rico, including the savory red beans.

I have been going to Habana Cuba for nearly 20 years, the food is excelent! The service prompt, the admosphere is also great Jennifer and the crew at habana are excelent at what they do. If you are looking to a Snobby restaurant this is NOT the one for you, if you are looking for a family experience with nice music, descent wine selection, good imported beers from latin america and a large meal this is the place for you! Love Habana Cuba!
Pros: Great Eating Place, lots of food great taste
Cons: probably the location.

My husband and I were excited about going to Habana Cuba since we had spent some time recently in Puerto Rico and fell in love with Lechon. We ordered the "Surtido" platter for two (a combination of Lechon, Pollo and Carne) - which could have easily served four adults- the portions are HUGE. This was the best rice and beans I have had in the states, however, all of the meat (the chicken, pork and beef) was completely dried out and difficult to chew and swallow. It was very dissapointing, but I would consider going back and giving it another try. The dining room needs a severe face lift as everything seems old and worn out. It was OK but not great, and definately nice to have some different ethnic food. Service was good and fast.
Pros: Great Beans and Rice, Good Service
Cons: Meat was very dry and tough to chew, interior decorations/restaurant ambiance is very tired and worn out
