The food was amazing!. Their portions are really good, I got a Cuban sandwich, and my husband got a picadillo, both were perfectly cooked. The staff was so nice to us, we came with our dog and the owner was accommodating and helpful. The place is super dog friendly, you can tell they care about their customers. It was the best service I ever had.So far this is the best restaurant we've been in Texas. Thank you for the excellent service!

Amazing Cuban food. We eat here almost every time we visit Austin. This tiny Cuban sandwich was so good (from the appetizer menu) and you can’t go wrong with the mojito (regular or frozen).

Often pick up lunch here the meats are obviously slow cooked with care and are deliciousI love that the Borracho beans have pork and potato in themI like that I can get plantains caramelized hereThe cocktail and beer selection is excellentThe cheese in the empanadas is fantastic

Love this spot honestly it has yet to disappoint, if your in the south Austin area stop in for a very delightful experience in Cuban cuisine. The Ropa Vieja is a great way to start your love affair with this place, a savory and rich dish that will make sure you clean your plate

A fun place with a great vibe and ambiance. Food is well prepared, fresh, and delicious. Great to try a number of dishes. Service was pleasant, but scattered--all seemed a bit disorganized. (I waited almost 10 minutes to be seated without any acknowledgement.) Nothing a good manager couldn't fix in short order. Would definitely try again.

Visiting Habana was a nice little surprise; this was my first time having Cuban food, and I know for sure that we plan to come back very soon!Immediately, I fell in love with the greenery both inside and out on the patio! I can tell that a lot of thought went into making Habana feel welcoming and warm.I started with the refreshing Rose Sangria and it was the only drink I needed(just how I like it). To this day I'm still thinking about the Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich that I had: it beats out any chicken sandwich I've had from most of the big fast-food brands. We had a side order of rice + black beans, it was amazing! It reminded me of Jamaican rice and peas; I made sure to take most of it home to savor later haha.If you haven't been to Habana, this is your sign to go!

Passed this restaurant on the way to my hotel and decided to come back for a late bite & I'm glad I did. The bartender recommended a dish since I am unfamiliar with Cuban cuisine. My dish was amazing & the portion size was more than enough to feed 2 people. There are several areas to lounge & talk. They also have a covered patio if you don't feel like eating inside. The decor inside is fascinating and bonus for them having a fully stocked bar.

This was my second time visiting Habana. I forgot the vibe is always just right. On top of flavorful and filling food, I love the nature that surrounds customers during their dine in experience. Habana has tons of storytelling art on the walls and classic cubano tunes playing aloud. Come get your taste of Cuba here!

Hopefully writing this review doesn’t cause TOO many people to visit Habana. I love how it seems like my special little place. Everything is so delicious and authentic. The service is perfect, they take great care with out over doing it. Every thing is always consistent and wonderful. Thank you Habana, for always making my belly and heart so full and happy!

We order pick up last night, 12/17/2021 thinking Uber Eats ridiculous high fees lately are not worthy, we decided it would be best to pick up and tip the restaurant's waiter or bartender, the order was placed on the phone 30 minutes before they close, well .... I've had their food in there and its good, take out however ... nah ... not so good, a very dry lechon asado, and two charred pork chops very well dried on a huge bed of bad spanish rice ...? all dried as well, definitely not worth the trip, the empanadas were ok though, I think you guys can do way better or at least deny the service if you think its to late to order.
