"The restaurant is only 3 months old, so it did not get much press. We were the only ones. It is a real shame that more people are not there, as the food is full of sabor cubano! The server was attentive and polite. Our meal started with moderate roasted rolls served with butter. We asked for water with lemon. It came with lime. We ordered drinks – I got an ironberry (a delicious Cuban soda that tastes like bladder or the mixture you get when you mix all soda from a well), my husband ordered a Guanaba milkshake (apparently Guaanaba is a fruit that resembles a kiwi – rounds, brown and hairy – but tastes a little like Guava with the texture of a banana). My son and I ordered the paella Valenciana, which the server immediately informed us, would take 25-30 minutes to prepare, so we decided with appetizers – Empanadas. We had 2 chicken and 1 beef, all were well seasoned and served fresh and hot. The dough on the outside tasted fresh. The paella (the 2) served, came with a soup and/or salad for both people they order. My son had filled the salad, a dish with large pieces of salad, tomato slices and onions. The ranch was brought on the side (a nice touch, I thought, as I usually have to ask.) I had the chicken soup, a rich broth with fideos, potatoes and shredded chicken. It was amazing! The paella was also well flavored and my husband shaved over sandwich Cubana. The portions were humble – we were filled and took more than half of the sand home, the and 3/4 of the paella. My son also took a rice pudding home for dessert, the half he eaten immediately upon arrival home. He had the other had only one hour later because it “so good!” Desserts are hard to resist in this place because it is the first thing you see as you go. With flan, rice pudding and other spiced cream, the desert beans you get off the road. Overall we were very impressed by the food and satisfied with the service at Mi Habana Cafe. It was good enough to take my Cuban father there for a real test of his authenticity."
