| - What an amazing experience I had tonight! I got there not knowing what to expect, I've never really had the chance to visit Cuba nor eat any of their local dish, but I thought to myself "hey let's be adventurous"...
As I pushed the door, I've noticed that the place was very well decorated, it was like changing city within less than five seconds and oh bummer it also appeared that the place was realllllllly tiny. The waitress asked whether I had made a reservation, of course I completely forgot about that part..She then mentioned that it would be challenging but she would have a seat at the bar if I could eat in 50 minutes, to which I answered sure (yeahhh!!) I have to mention that many people couldn't get in throughout the evening because of the lack of seats so read between the lines (and make a reservation to secure one). As La Habanera is more of a Cafe Bar, there aren't specific services, you can choose between plenty of different little dishes. I had the Aguacate (thumbs up for this dish which was my ultimate fave) where the idea came from to mix nougat with red papaya, avocado and mojito dressing? Because this is genius! I also had fish tacos which are made of cod tempura, mango ceviche, ginger and pineapple crema, the seasoning was on point! As dessert, I ordered the 3 leches (oh my this was tasty)...Oh and I almost forgot! I also ordered a white rum drink, the Pinoy mojito, which was succulent as well.
The atmosphere was so relaxed, the decoration so not typical and the staff so nice and helpful that it made my overall experience sooo worth it....I strongly recommend this place!
