Where do I start? Let’s start with how I was greeted by the owners and staff, that right there tells me enough about their restaurant! It was my first time eating at Habana Express, I was amazed about their menu and it’s very detailed! Everything looked delicious! The Cuban Bowls looked good, but I was actually there for their sandwiches (so many choices)! I decided to order a Pan Con Bistec (steak sandwich) and my girlfriend ordered a Cubano sandwichv with a side of fries (sweet potato fries and regular fries) in which they were cooked perfectly! For our child we ordered loaded Salchipapas, which was also delicious. The establishment was very clean and had a very cool look! All I can say I was very satisfied and my order looked exactly like the images, this is a restaurant I will visit whenever I’m in the mood for Cuban food!

Havana Express Cuban Restaurant was an absolute and delightful surprise. Finding truly authentic Cuban cuisine outside of Cuba is rare—but this place delivers the real thing.
My wife is Cuban and an exceptional chef herself, so we approach Cuban food with very high standards. Both of us agree without hesitation: the food here is genuinely authentic Cuban cuisine. Every dish we tried reflected traditional flavors and careful preparation. The fried yuca was perfectly done, and enjoying a Malta Hatuey brought back true Cuban nostalgia.
The service was equally outstanding. To our delight, the chef himself came out to greet us—he is Cuban, and you can feel his pride and passion in both the food and the hospitality. That personal touch made the experience even more special.
And the pastries—simply phenomenal. Fresh, indulgent, and absolutely irresistible.
Havana Express is a true culinary jewel in Concord. If you’re looking for real Cuban flavors, warm hospitality, and an unforgettable dining experience, this is a must-visit. Highly recommended—you will not be disappointed.

I am glad we found this place, it has become my new favorite spot. I get the garlic shrimp bowl..It is VERY tasty. And the pastries are so delicious. The owners are very nice and personable. The atmosphere is great. And the prices are very reasonable.

This place always hits the spot! Have visited a few times, but have been too excited to snap a photo of my food 🙂 Great flavors with huge portions. I go back and forth with my favorite: the Traditional or the Cubano sandwich. I try to order both and split with my husband. Not sure what is in the green sauce, but must be magic. Highly recommend!
Additional sidenote: have stopped in for breakfast a few times as well. The coffee + pastry combo is incredible!

I’m traveling and always looking for real food and in Habana Express, I finally found it! The food was excellent. The portions were generous, and every dish was full of flavor.
The service was outstanding. Even the chef came out to give me recommendations and made me feel at home. That personal touch made the experience even more special.

I’m in love with this place! Their creamy cilantro and slow roasted pork pork are absolutely fantastic. My pro-tip is to order the Traditional over the more popular Cubano. I think the ham in the Cubano covers up how delicious their pork is. I’ve had other items off their menu, the rice bowls are also very good, but I find myself ordering the Traditional over and over again. There are other Cuban restaurants with more name recognition. (Porto’s and Versailles in LA come to mind) I would place Habana Express right up there with them and maybe even a notch above when it comes to flavor.

A Piece of Cuba
I love Cuban food but it’s very hard to find in the Bay Area
Habana Express is a Pleasant Hill gem located in a strip mall with a plethora of dining options
Their signature is their classic Cuban sandwiches. While they serve dishes like ropa viejo, tamales and Cuban pastries, it’s really the sandwiches that are the star
They’re made fresh to order (about 10 minutes) but well worth the wait. I ordered a side of yucca fries as well
The Cubano is their most popular sandwich and consists of roasted pork, Swiss cheese, ham, pickles, mayo and mustard
It’s finished on a griddle and the melty cheese and savory meats are a fantastic combo. Really enjoyed my lunch here and wish we had one on the Peninsula
Cubano $13 ~ Roasted Pork, Swiss Cheese, Ham, Pickles, mustard, Mayo

I had an amazing time, eating amazing authentic Cuban food. This was my 3rd time coming here and I gotta say I loved it. Food is original with real Cuban flavors, eating this food takes me back to my years in Miami where I learned about Cuban food and enjoyed it ever since, fortunately I found a Cuban place when I can continue to enjoy Cuban food. I really hope you guys never close. This time I brought my sister, her boyfriend, my mother in law who’s Cuban-who’s visiting from Miami , my sisters best friend and family, about 8 people, and the other two times I brought some other friends. I am beyond happy to know about this place , I will continue to come and brining more people to enjoy your food because honestly food was great and service too. We got everything we order correct and the cashier was very Kind too. Thank you to the person making out food which I heard is Cuban, I’m not sure if is the owner of the place but food tasted like original Cuban food. Plus we all loved that we can write on the walls….

Fast and friendly service. Sammich was incredibly good. Might wanna get water or a drink cause the sammich kind of makes the throat feel overwhelmed with flavor. Fries were decent. Little soggy no crunch, but tasted decent. Place is clean and has great AC.
