It's a vibe 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾. The food is great and the drinks are fantastic and an extra shot for a Kick if that's your kind of thing.
Easily the best Cuban sandwich I’ve had in NYC — juicy, flavorful, and messy in all the right ways. The bread was perfectly pressed with that satisfying crunch, the pork was tender and dripping with flavor, and every bite hit that perfect balance of salty, tangy, and rich. The fries? Golden, crisp, and actually seasoned (bless). This place clearly cares about doing comfort food right.
Habana made my Juneteenth experience truly wonderful! The entire staff provided exceptional service and made me feel welcomed from the moment I arrived. Everyone was so friendly, attentive, and caring. Hands down, the food and drinks were outstanding! It’s clear that management takes great care of the staff, and it shows in the level of service they provide. Thank you all for making Friday such a memorable experience. I look forward to visiting many more times. Keep up the amazing work!👏🏾❤️
