Habana To Go
This is a savior when across the street is too packed with sightseers and girls looking for husbands.
This outlet serves it's purpose. You can even grab a quick margarita (no flavors)
Not many seats by the way….it is takeout.
I was craving a Cuban Sandwich and Mexican Corn. What could be better than getting the two most popular dishes. It's very good at the Manhattan location, so I thought the Brooklyn location would be good as well.
This location is more of to go or on the go. Be lucky if you are able to grab a stool and eat. This place gets crowded easily.
Food takes a while to come out depending on how many customers are in here.
1. Fish Tacos- Beer battered catfish, shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, salsa verde, and homemade salsa negra.
The Fish Tacos were decent. Nothing to rave about. Grab some hot sauce on the side to add more taste and flavor.
2. Grilled Corn Mexican Style- "Their Specialty"
Grilled Corn with cheese all over the corn. Only the best tasting corn ever!!!
3. Cuban Sandwich- (Voted Best in NYC) fresh roast pork, ham, swiss cheese, pickle , chipotle mayo, on a hero bread.
Really disappointing to me. Came out very cold. It was barely toasted. Cheese wasn't melted. It was like an ordinary sandwich you would get at a local deli. The really good Cuban Sandwiches will make you think it is the best in NYC. Not this one.
Stick with the Manhattan location or just get the Mexican Corn.
I wouldn't say the food was all that. It was ok! The rice was soggy I'm sorry. If rice isn't cooked well your entire plate is no Bueno. I ate my lunch and decided to just leave! I would only have drinks and chips here. Maybe even tacos. Because I enjoyed that the most. I actually wish I ordered several tacos instead of rice and beans.
I was trying to channel Chipotle because they have been contaminated lately. It didn't work!
The girl at the register is pretty nice and welcoming so they get an A+ for that because she is the first impression of your business! And if I smell a hint of rudeness I'm usually out the door and I won't return. So because of her…maybe I'd return one day in the future and try something else.
If you stop by have a glass of the margarita. I had a sampler and it was yummy. I wish we were allowed to take it to go!
As stated by others, service does usually suck here but maybe since it's a take out spot service isn't meant to be a strength. The "cashiers" often times seem irritated or annoyed or preoccupied and somewhat upset that I just have to disrupt their convos with my need for tacos and rice. Not always but often. Good place for a quick bite.
Good choice when the real Habana accross the street is closed or overpopulated. Festive atmosphere. The servers are always nice. I always tend to get the frozen Pina Colada (not a to go good choice because of the alcohol). Foodwise, they have a lot of reasonably priced choices :the fish taco for 3.50, tostones for 3.75 (big portion by the way, I got full just off of that).
Overall just a good to go spot for a quick meal.
