This place use to be off the charts incredible, that wasn’t the vibe I experienced my last visit .

The burrito was not what I remembered or expected. It was bland and the chicken was dry, pretty lack luster. Chipotle’s probably would have hit the spot more. I took home half and doctored it up. They do still serve their famous corn which was our favorite before heading home on a late night.

The staff served a purpose but felt they were more bothered by waiting on people.

Had an amazing time here! The vibes and service were on point, but the food really stole the show. We ordered the elote, flautas, the pressed sandwich with tostones, and the steak plate with rice and beans. Every dish had bold flavors and came out at the perfect temperature. Solid 8/10 experience, I highly recommend!

While out on a morning casual stroll and doing a little shopping, we decided to pop into this café for a light breakfast.

It’s a cool little local spot with a perfect corner location. It’s small inside, but pretty cozy. They also offer outdoor seating if it gets too crowded.

I had the Huevos con Chorizo with a glass of Agua de Jamaica, while my wife had the Breakfast Tacos and a glass of lemonade. Our food was hot, fresh, and delicious. Everything was made from scratch and cooked to order. The beverages really hit the spot, and based on the flavors, I’d say there are no powdered drinks served here.

If you’re looking for frills and thrills, this isn’t the place for you. But if you want fast, casual service with good, fresh food, I definitely recommend checking them out.

Really enjoyed this spot for an early dinner. Everything was delicious but the main highlight was definitely the corn, I’d go back just for that. Had a really nice lemonade too. Service was also really good, super friendly and fun. Great spot

I’ve been meaning to try Café Habana for a while, and when I finally did, it lived up to the reputation. It’s a casual, lively Cuban-Mexican café right in the heart of SoHo — a real neighborhood classic that’s been around since the late ’90s.

The atmosphere is relaxed and busy, with people coming in for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or drinks. The vibe feels like New York meets Latin street cafe — colorful, friendly, and unpretentious.

Foodwise, the grilled Mexican-style corn is legendary and absolutely worth ordering; it’s smoky, tangy, and cheesy — almost addictive. I also loved the Cuban sandwich, which is juicy, well-pressed, and feels like what you imagine a good Cubano should be. Cocktails and margaritas are fun too, especially if you’re there for brunch or an early dinner.

Service is friendly and the place fills up fast, so going a bit early or being prepared to wait makes it smoother.

Overall: great for a fun meal that’s casual but full of flavor — perfect for a memorable lunch or laid-back dinner in Nolita.

I had their citrus pork burrito, I have to say it was very savory and very well portioned. I will definitely come back to try their Cubano Sandwich, yummy

This is one of the rare places that wasn’t gentrified and keep the spirit of NY Soho of 1970-1980s. Tiny spot with a huge flavor and ambiance. Typical Cuban food at its perfection. My personal favorite is corn on the knob covered with cotija cheese and chili powder. Love this place since I got there in late 1990s.

Omg best Cuban sandwich in NYC! Bar has cool and hip vibe and Roberto was so sweet and gave the most magnificent service. I currently live in East village but I lived in Miami for two decades and have tried a lot of Cuban restaurants but this is the best!
