Description

This restaurant features your standard Cuban fare-everything from succulent mango pulled pork to plantain-crusted chicken sandwiches-and more gourmet offerings such as osso bucco, but the best stuff on the menu are the drinks. Whether you prefer a white sangria or a mojito or a crisp Stella Artois from the fully stocked bar inside, there's no better place to drain them than Habana's outdoor patio. It's tastefully shaded from the afternoon sun by market umbrellas and the surrounding drought-resistant California-native plants, offering a relaxing respite from the hustle and bustle of corporate Orange County. It's also a perfect spot to share a nightcap with a friend or cozy up with an after-dinner cappuccino by candlelight-when the skies darken, your table bathes in the light of hundreds of them.

    My family and I visited the Habana retaurant a few months ago. We usually try to visit new restaurants, specially Cuban retaurants, since my wife is Cuban and our daughters have grown up with the the food. However, We were disapointed by the food. it didn't feel authentic or the best quality. Sorry.

    one of my favorite restaurants in all of OC. Their Ropa Vieja is amazing. actually all their food is amazing...their salads, soups and fish dishes are a few i can recommend. and like many of my suggestions it's at the LAB...one of the hippest places in all of oc.
