New to the area and coming from Central Texas where Cuban restaurants aren't that common, my wife…read moreand I were eager to try out Cuban restaurants near us. A couple of days after we closed on our house, we searched for lunch options. While checking out Yelp, Cafe Havana popped up with great reviews, so we plotted a course to check it out. Located in a seemingly industrial area, Cafe Havana offers ample parking. We placed our orders, Lechon Asado lunch for me and Cuban sandwich (which came with fries) for my wife. We, well maybe my wife did, waited a few minutes for her sandwich and fries to be served before eating. The lechon asado, aka roast pork, lived up to its billing as their best seller. Tender, savory and fatty pieces of pork served with yellow rice and fried plantains...the only thing missing was crispy pork skin that comes with pernil. My wife liked her Cuban sandwich as well, good flavors but lacking that crispy bread that she's come to expect. The fries were fresh and hot...perhaps the only place we've tried so far that includes fries with your meal. All in all, a good place that we'll likely revisit for future cravings for Cuban cuisine.

Best part for me, of Cuban food is the flavor without the heat. The empanadas were delicious both the beef and the chicken. Perfectly seasoned without tons of grease.

Located in a strip mall anchored by a Roses Discount Store, the place looked dark from the outside and the "Open" sign didn't appear to be lit but we knew they were open because of various Open yard signs in front of the establishment. Upon walking in, we were seated right away and presented the menu. They have daily specials but they didn't have pernil, although they had lechon asado like most of the Cuban/Latin American restaurants we've tried in the area. I ordered the lechon asado which came with yellow rice, fried plantains and red beans. My wife tried their Midnite Cuban sandwich. The lechon asado was flavorful (but of course no crunchy skin) and the yellow rice was good as well. My wife's sandwich, however, was a disappointment! The roast pork had an off taste and was gristly...she had to remove that meat from her sandwich. I tried her roast pork and was thinking of sending it back but my wife just removed all the meat from her sandwich. Perhaps we'll be back but definitely not ordering the Cuban sandwich again. Lunch for 2 came out to just over $30 with tip.

At the cash register was a big sign that states: "Cash only". There is an ATM machine right by the cashier. Hence, the 4 stars. We ordered our food : beef empanadas, masitas, fish sandwich, Cuban sandwich, steak sandwich and ropa viejo. For drinks, we had iced teas and sodas. They came in huge, heavy glasses - like a tankard! I would say that the portions were large in general. Everyone loved their food. I enjoyed the ropa Viejo -it was very flavorful. The beef was tender and tasted very good. Our servers were friendly and efficient. They refilled our glasses constantly Will definitely come back here if we are back in the area. Just have to remember to bring cash!!

No line, we went straight to the window and looked at the menu. They had tacos, tostadas, sopes, quesadillas, burritos, nachos and more. I went with the quesadillas, and got it with rice and beans on the side (salad is also an option). I also got a Tamarind jarrito. It was a very windy day so we waited inside the car for our order to be ready. They told us 10 minutes, and it did not take a minute more. Everything was nicely wrapped, placed in bags making easy to carry everything from the truck to the car, and they added all the sauces we requested too, napkins and utensils. The Quesadilla was hot, nicely melted cheese, but wish the meat had more flavor. Maybe I should have added some of the sauce but the ones we got were too hot for me. The rice and beans were delicious, and good portion. Great spot to grab a quick bite to eat, made to order.
