Had an absolute amazing time at Cafe Havana. I've never really known what Cuban food was until I got a small idea watching the movie "Chef". I knew I wanted to try a Cuban sandwich! Fast forward a few years and I see a small Cuban cafe in Oakville , stopped by and wow! I want more just thinking about.
I wanted to try a bit of everything so I ended up ordering too much for two people(myself and girlfriend) we got the Cuban sandwich, so good- pork,cheese, ham, pickles, and mustard on a grill press.
Then we got a roasted pork and the ropa vieja both come with Cuban rice and fried plantains. The roasted pork was excellent with caramelized onions so tender it falls apart with the fork. However the star of the table was the ropa vieja. It is pulled beef in a red wine reduction that is just amazing tasting when you have it with the rice. Beer is a must have with these dishes as it complements perfectly.
And of course, once we finished I had an espresso to top it all off, best meal I've had in a while.
Excellent!
