The chicken bowl was really tasty and a generous portion. I was hoping for slightly more greens and less rice, but it's a great option if you plan to take leftovers. My friend ordered the cuban sandwich, and I had a bite and thought it wasn't too far from what I have in South Florida. The frozen margaritas were the showstopper. Perfectly fine without the added flavor, but I would order a large pitcher to share with a group next time. My friend got the passionfruit flavor and it was very sweet. read more

It was a full packed out. Everyone outside and want to enjoy the Knicks game. For a pack house service was excellent. They were able to service all the large parties quickly. I had 1 margarita and a elote corn . The wings look good. Overall I had a wonderful time for the 45 minutes I was there. read more

I did the terrible mistake of coming for 5 de mayo but I waited the huge line so we could try some of their tacos. We got the grilled chicken, beer batter fish, shrimp and al pastor. My favorites were the shrimp and al pastor, both very flavorful. We also got the elote, a margarita and a beer. Everything was pretty good. They have a large patio and dogs are welcome so that's an extra bonus! read more

The space is beautiful to sit in, especially on a sunny day. Very vibrant and energetic space but the food just wasn't good. The grilled chicken was great but the nacho cheddar cheese tasted like cheap highly processed cheese.... did not taste like typical queso. I actually like cotija cheese but it wasn't a good mix. Service was fast I got my food in under 5 minutes. read more

Came here for the first time to try out some tacos. The food was okay the tostones were good the freshly made guacamole was very good. The eggplant taco was underwhelming the chicken tacos were good. The steak taco okay and the corn okay. For fast food it was good. To just go outside and get a quick bite good. The ambiance of the place very eccentric layed back feel. The outside seating to me is the best to relax outside talk and get some sun is great. The service was good nothing to brag about you get a number and they bring the food so can't really judge. Good for a quick bite if you feel for tacos to relax and eat. read more

My husband and I stumbled upon this restaurant as we were wandering the streets of Brooklyn on a sunny Saturday. Lured by its vibrant signs and outdoor patio, we came in for what was supposed to be a quick look but stayed instead for lunch. And I'm so glad we did. Habana Outpost had the best Cuban sandwich I've ever had. Now, It's important to note that I don't often order Cuban sandwiches, after having tried it a few times and finding it to be dry. Habana's wasn't dry at all. The pulled pork was dripping with jus. The cheeses were melty and held all the elements together. The bread was perfectly panini-pressed and crisp. This excellent sandwich was paired with an equally excellent side of battered crispy fries. Writing this review has my mouth watering and has changed my once-lowly opinion of Cuban sandwiches. I cannot wait to return here in the height of summer when the sun is high, the breeze warm, and the margaritas ice cold. read more

I hadn't been to Habana Outpost in years but the margaritas are just how I remembered them...delicious. I went back on one of the first warm days and it felt so good to sit outside and enjoy the yard. Can't wait to go back and have their world famous corn. read more

I've been here a couple of times and enjoyed myself. One of my close friends hosted a dinner here to celebrate her moving to another city recently. I arrived at 6 pm; during happy hour. The line was relatively short at the time so I was able to order a pina colada (mango) with shrimp tacos, chips and guacamole, and fried corn on a cob. My order came out in a timely manner. Ideally, if you're with a group of people, a pitcher makes sense to get. However, sometimes that option is not available because the machine is down apparently during peak hours. Definitely a great place to come to for food and drinks but be mindful of when you visit. Next time I'll be sure to come on a Wednesday around 4 PM. read more

Pretty good tacos, especially loved the fish tacos here. Check out their weekday specials. Service and food prep can take a little longer during peak times and seating isn't always abundant. read more

I ordered the nachos. Came with about 11 chips total. They were okay but not nearly enough chips, they told me I need to purchase more. The drink was half off on happy hour for $6 and tastes like battery acid. Nice outside vibes tho read more

This was one of my favorite places to go 20 years ago. Now the food tastes unseasoned and comes out dry. The passion to create tasty food seems to have left this place. read more

I've here twice in the last two weeks and I like it. Pretty much your run of the mill Mexican spot. Looks more like a fun hangout summer spot than an authentic mexican spot if that matters to you. It has a nice outdoors area. Table service down to bringing food to you, but you go to the counter every time you need to other something. I like it and would go back. Also a great spot to eat solo if that's your thing. read more

A friend and I came here for a late lunch yesterday. It's a really nice, chill place. You order at the counter and then they bring your food to you when it's ready. I got the Cuban sandwich, which was delicious, and an order of fries -- crispy as promised. Prices seemed reasonable. Everyone was very nice, and here's something I really loved: There is Latin music playing in the background, loud enough that it sets the mood, but soft enough that it doesn't interfere with conversation. read more

We've always been intrigued by Habana Outpost's big outdoor area and finally went for the first time after living in the area for a few years. I believe they are seasonal though, so they close in the colder months? Their menu consists of tacos, bowls, drinks and of course the cuban sandwich. You order at the entrance and they'll bring your food to you. After, don't forget to clean up yourself! It's a great spot to hang out with friends in the summer, but we weren't super impressed with the food. We got the cuban sandwich with fries, fish taco and al pastor taco. I've never had a cuban sandwich before but this pork was quite dry and the sandwich as a whole got soggy from the sauce they put. The fries were delicious though! Between the 2 tacos, I'd definitely skip on the al pastor and get the fish. There was a good amount of fried fish pieces and I liked the salsa that came with it. I'd come back to hang with friends and to try their nachos or maybe get a fish bowl instead of the tacos next time read more

A+ for vibes, B- for food. The chicken tacos are always terribly dry. But the steak and shrimp tacos are good, along with pretty solid drinks. read more

Habana Outpost is the perfect summer escape for frozen drinks and great times! My office held a going away party for our office manager and the vibes were high! The outdoor seating in the courtyard makes you feel like you are in the middle of the action in Brooklyn but still feels secure and fun. The bright colors and great drinks (happy hour til 7pm is amazing!) make this spot a must try for any summer fun! read more

What a stellar happy hour deal and taco Tuesday deal! It is a fast casual taco spot so you have to order at the counter and then they bring you your food outside but the service is very quick. I ordered a frozen margarita, shrimp, taco, steak, taco, Tostones, and guacamole, and it was less than $30. I will say the serving size for guacamole was very large compared to most restaurants so I that's a win. The drinks are strong and the food is delicious so I will definitely be back. read more

Such a cute place with lots of personality. It's nice and bright with Caribbean music playing in the background. There's seating inside and outside. You order at the counter, they give you a number, and bring out your food. Justin suggested the corn and the plantain and guacamole bowl. Great suggestions. The plantain is super sweet and fresh. Yum, yum, yum to the guacamole. I also added grilled chicken to the bowl. It was seasoned and juicy. I would definitely check them out if in the area again. read more

It felt like, I'm the only woman in Brooklyn that had never been here before. Haha, was out with my partner and we decided to have a quick bite. This spot has a nice relaxed vibe, there is a some indoor seating but most of the seating is outside. You order at the register, they give you a number and when ready your meal is brought to you. Drinks are given to you at the register. We bought had the casamigos margarita, I had the guava flavor (Yum) he had mango. The flavor isn't blended into the drink, it's drizzled into the bottom of the cup. I really liked this drink, because it wasn't too sweet, Well balanced and it starts to creep up on you! I ordered the catfish taco, I thought it was delicious. Flavorful and not greasy. My partner had the chickens quesadilla, which he enjoyed it did not look appealing to me at all. Would come back here for date night to try something else on a nice warm night. They have movie nights on Sundays! read more

Just finished their World Famous Cuban. It was awesome! Very inviting flavor that made me keep wanting another bite! Highly recommend! There were four of us. The other three enjoyed a Grilled Shrimp Bowl (described as "very good!"), a Guacamole and Plantain Bowl (described as "it was good") and a Grilled Chicken Bowl with two Tacos (described as "the bowl was very good, the tacos were a three out of five". We also ordered nachos, guacamole and salsa. The guacamole was excellent, the salsa was bland lacked any discernible flavor. The staff and servers were working hard and were excellent! Recommend putting Habana Outpost on your list of restaurants to visit while in Brooklyn. The Cuban sandwich is worth the visit! read more

I've been coming here for a very long time for almost 15 years. Over the course of a year there's been several mishaps with food/beverages. It looks to be a tuff of hair/fuzz floating in my margarita. Can staff check the cups prior to pour the beverages inside? My friend and I came last Friday and she found hair? Or some type of fuzz also inside one of the sauce containers for the burritos we order. She already poured the sauce on her burrito before we noticed. This is gross and definitely not appeasing. read more

This was a first time visit as I passed by the area to Barclays Center to head home. I looked this up on Yelp as I was not sure what was in the area for take out. I can't across this and popped in. Initially I was confused as to whether this is Mexican or Cuban food, I mean the name states it but when looking at the menu it states otherwise. I ordered the steak bowl, sweet plantains and a lemonade. Order was fulfilled within 15 minutes wait. Upon opening the food container, the aroma was delicious. My disappointment was the steak was too well done and chewy. The flavors were there but the steak was meh! The side container of salsa verde was delicious though. I do recommend going if you have a craving for quick take out though as I stated earlier you might get confused. They do have spacious seating for dinner, lunch, etc. They also have happy hour and specials. read more

Chill, affordable spot close to Atlantic Terminal for low key drinks and nosh. The main space is outside, where there are a variety of covered or uncovered tables and benches set up to accommodate groups of up to 10-12 a group. A couple kid friendly areas including a large scale "connect 5" type game and vintage Batman coin slot ride--make the space kid-friendly. The pickup window out back is also where you pick up food orders once the number on your receipt pops up on one of a couple number screens in the outside area. Inside the main area centers around a bar where you order and they serve their drinks. There is seating in the back for around 20 too. Food on the menu include tacos, a Cuban sandwich, bowls, a couple salads and burritos, quesadillas, grilled corn and some apps and sides like nachos and chips and guac, rice nd beans. Drinks feature beer, sangria, and crowd favorites of frozen margaritas and pina coladas. Saw many tables ordering pitchers of frozen drinks on the warm summer afternoon we were there. Very relaxed vibe and friendly service. One slight ding bc there was only one bathroom available (one stall out of two was out of service), also the bathroom area is a bit open air in that the ceiling is elevated over the edge of the walls so a little less privacy. read more

I ordered the catfish burrito and the tostones. The tostones were absolutely delicious 10/10 the best tostones I've ever had. I particularly didn't like the catfish burrito that much because it needed more flavor like a savory sauce or something. I also got a margarita that unfortunately gave me a headache as well. In terms of the positive the atmosphere is great the customer service is great! I would go again and order some tostones and chill read more

This place is a Cuban escape in the middle of Fort Greene. When you enter the restaurant to order, it'll feel like you're no longer in NY. You order at the counter and then eat at the colorful, vibey outdoor space. I ordered a Cubano which was perfectly toasted. Not sure how authentic it in but it was good. My sister got the steak burrito and raved about how good the steak is. This is a great spot for happy hour so we will definitely be back to try the drinks! read more

I've lived in Brooklyn for 5 years and have always noticed this place because of its beautiful exterior and outdoor area but never went in until today. It's one of the most inviting but still communal feeling places I've stepped into, especially in the summer. It has a beautiful outdoor seating area (though try to get a shady spot), large ceilings, bright color, beautiful knick knacks, and one of the calmest bathrooms. Service is quick and they bring it to you via your number. There's free tap water. Their famous corn with cheese was delicious and their chicken taco was pretty good (though note each order is only for 1) I thought they'd be cash only since they historically were but they do have tap to pay now. read more

Came in for taco Tuesday for a quick lunch. Grabbed two tacos; the steak and al pastor. Both were good, but I preferred the al pastor over the steak. The reason for the four rather than five star review is really the price. A taco that is two bites should not cost $8. That's outrageous. And a $5 bottle of coke? Putting off resort vacation where you have no other choice kind of vibe with their prices. Won't be back for that reason alone. Otherwise the staff was friendly and the venue is great. Too bad for the wild pricing. read more

Love Cafe Habana and so happy to have an option closer to home. Def a great spot in the summer for drinks. You can sit inside or outside to enjoy your drinks/meal. The Cuban sandwich is the best! The fries are delicious and crisp. Tostones, elote, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Don't skip the green bottled hot sauce if you like it spicy. Service is quick and easy. Definitely one of my favorite spots. read more
