Habana Restaurant

Habana Soco is a very laid-back, casual cuban spot. There’s outdoor seating, which is nice on a good weather day, and a free parking lot. The service was friendly but not as attentive. As for the food, it was okay but nothing particularly memorable. Everything was decent, just not great or especially flavorful compared to other options around town. It’s also kinda pricey for what you get.

Staple foods are my preferred point of reference when it comes food, after all is why we really go out to eat. I was happy to come and sample this cuban spot and I will surely go for round 2, as the first visit was average on the food front: I ordered some ROPA VIEJA (shredded beef with rice and beans) and the beef itself was very good, but the meal fell apart with the absence of the delicious beans and moist white rice customary of this dish. The vibe of the place was simple and with cool cuban themed paintings such as Celia Cruz. The staff was very friendly and the service was fast, as I had hoped, given the fact that I was the 2nd table, early in the pm during the week. Since the rice was lacking some flavor I decided to get some avocado to add, but sadly it came at the end of the meal

This place has it ALL! It feels like home, but with way better food :) Everything my wife and I have here is par excellence. I recommend sitting at the bar to meet the locals, of which I’m proudly included. German & David know their art, and you can tell that they genuinely enjoy what they do. Be sure to get one of their free postcards at the host stand: “I left my heart in Habana” … and likely my keys. I can’t recommend this spot highly enough. Thank you and the crew for what you do. We’ll be seeing you again this week!

I started with a skinny margarita straight up. Thanks to the bartender for the heavy pour. We ordered the empanada sampler with one beef, one chicken and one queso empanada. I liked the queso empanada the most. It had the most flavor. The beef and chicken need more seasoning. I ordered the Cubano sandwich and it was delicious and huge. Great flavors! We sat outside in one of the cabanas. My shorts got caught on a couple of nail heads on the bench.

Beautiful restaurant. Amazing food. Cocktails will have you feeling great. German at the bar is a true gentleman and his cocktails do not disappoint! Already looking forward to my return.
