Cafe Havana

Soho, the hipster staple of New York is known for its high-end eats, but after a bit of searching we came across a nice little restaurant called "Cafe Havana". Staying true to its Cuban roots, we find an authentic mix of spanish flavors with a bit of "gastronome" flair. I didn't care too much for the all-hipster crowd, but the eclectic staff makes up for this somewhat snobby guestlist.

We started with the Mexican style corn. For those who watched "Nacho Libre", this is the bad boy that Esqueleto was eating. And lemme tell you, this is as good as it looks. A lil spicy, but the sweet and salty mix is key to this dish. Sarah went a lil wild and ate an entire corn while the rest of us share half of 1. (Gotta love a girl that eats) Then we moved on to a bit of the other stuff that was prepared for us.

This was a bit of fun for me. I'm no newbie to the Cuban food and what I noticed was that this bad boy had all the elements to a good sandwich. Comes with some garnish, but nothing I really ate. I'm more of a carnivore myself. Juicy and well layered I can say that I truly enjoyed it.

We also had Sincronizada Toluca. This baby had some real nice flavor to it. Basically a tortilla with Motz., Chorizo and Avacados and all the other good things that make Spanish flavors come together. All in all a great meal.

However don't come here if you don't like cramped places. The seating will allow you to hear everyone's conversation even if you don't want to hear it. You might like the waitstaff if you enjoy really strange people however if you're looking for a quiet sitdown, this isn't it.

We're in it for the food however so a lot of things don't apply to us.

Total Costs: Cuban Sandwich + Sincronizada Toluco + Cuban Style Roast Pork + Mexican Corn = $31 (without tip)

At $31 you'll be able to feed 3 which isn't half bad. Recommended for the young, the young at heart, or if you're young in the pocket.

Enjoy!
