Havana Cafe

Yesterday, I enjoyed a wonderful lunch: a delicious pan (real Cuban bread) con bistec that came with tasty fries and a perfect Cuba Libre. Of Cuban heritage myself, Havana Cafe Dallas receives my highest rating for an all-around exemplary experience - welcoming, comfortable, and nostalgic. I was able to order and converse in Spanish, although the staff did also speak English, and my request for "bastante cebollas" on my sandwich was met with the look only another Latin person would recognize as sheer pleasure and a connection only those who know, know. This little gem allowed me to connect to an authentic Cuban experience that did not come anywhere near to emptying my strapped wallet, and I look forward to returning often! Dale!

This was my first time trying Cuban food, and I enjoyed trying the new flavors! The tamales were excellent, as well as the rest of the "Tour of Cuba" and other sampler plate. The coconut fish was excellent and the chicken was pretty good. The Cuban rice and beans were a little dry, but not bad. Service was great, atmosphere was great. Music was fun, but not too loud. I'll definitely be coming back to try some more of the menu!

The food did not disappoint. It was extremely flavorful. We ordered Camarones Salteados and the Cuban sandwich. The service was on point, friendly and attentive. The drinks were just OKAY, could've been better. The only issue I had was the table wasn't clean and the floor under our table was full of crumbs. The restaurant was empty during the time we went Monday, approximately 1:45pm, so there was no excuse for any seating areas to be uncleaned, when multiple staff were present. We did move to another table. But overall, I would return, as the food was tasty, fresh, and hot (made to order).

This is a small unpretentious very casual atmosphere with authentic Cuban cuisine. The váca frita & morros are absolutely delicious my Cuba Libre drink was also on point. Even though it had great flavor, I was not content with my churasco steak as it was very chewy. However, it would not keep me from coming back as almost everyone in our dining party of 5 were VERY pleased with our meals. Heidi was our server and was very attentive with a pleasant attitude.

Didn't get a chance to eat since I only came for the Mojitos and a cup of coffee. What food I did see looked delicious and everyone seemed to be enjoying the meal. The staff and what I'm assuming we're the owners offered delivery drivers drinks for the hot day at no charge, showing their true hospitality. Quality place ran by quality people. Mojitos and espresso were excellent!

I’ve eaten here a dozen times living in the area, and overall I would recommend it to friends or co-workers interested in food from the Caribbean. The place isn’t perfect, but no where is. This is a family run operation, so things can get a little hectic sometimes. I have had no issues and always enjoy myself when we get lunch from here. The rice is cooked perfectly and I usually get pork which is always flavorful and plantains. It definitely can get very busy Friday and Saturday nights, and any times I didn’t enjoy my experience they seemed a little overwhelmed. Will continue coming back though!
