Very affordable, that was the first surprise. I liked that they have so many choices in the menu, I had a difficult time deciding. Good portion, good season, fast service. Definitely, recommend it.

Everything is great. Had them for the first time at a wedding they catered (phenomenal job on that whole thing) and have been going back ever since.

First time visiting Tallahassee, FL and this was a must stop to place for lunch! The host and waitress were very welcoming and provided great service! Food was delicious . I had the Cuban traditional rice with the black beans, pulled pork with onions and yucca con mojo! For appetizer I had ham croquettes with their house sauce and to drink I had Jupiña! My husband had the Cuban sandwich and he loved it, great taste to it! I definitely recommend this place! Not to mention that price was fair and well worth it. Before leaving we were offered to have the Cuban coffee we sure didn’t reject the offer. One shot of it was enough to get back on the road to head back home! Will be back soon!

We stopped at this restaurant because of the great reviews and we were not disappointed. We picked up two Cuban sandwiches for the road. The sandwiches were wrapped nicely and easy to eat on the road. The flavors were great and had a good amount of meat. They had inside and outside seating.

So delicious and flavorful! We drove down to Tallahassee for a birthday event and we had a quick lunch here at Habana’s! As a Cuban I love a good Cuban restaurant that does it right! I had the Baca Frita with rice and beans which was so delicious. The food was affordable and our server Jessibeth was wonderful and very kind! I could not recommend this place any more!
