Habana - Costa Mesa

“My husband and I came by for happy hour to celebrate our 15th anniversary! The drinks and food were lovely. The pina colada and mariscos fritos are a must have.”

“From the complimentary Roslia to my Moscato, the drinks were great! The food was beyond delicious- I got the roasted chicken entree with garlic mash potatoes on the side, my friend got the Salmon A La Parrilla with a side of tostones. And we also shared an order of chicken empanadas. Everything was so good!! The servers were all very nice and attentive to each guest. Can't wait to go back soon xx.”

“This was our first experience with Cuban food, and it’s our new favorite cuisine. Unfortunately, Habana Lab in Costa Mesa set the bar so high that no other restaurant will ever measure up. The Ropa Viejo and the empanada platter were the most flavorful dishes we have ever had, and the ambiance was uniquely beautiful, creating an experience we will never forget. Best of all was Pablo who took such great care of us. It would be worth another plane trip to Southern California just to eat there again.”

“Our group came in here for a weekend brunch and were seated inside with a lovely view of their outdoor patio. It's beautiful decorated and service was great. They weren't busy yet so we had the place to ourselves for a little bit. The food and drinks was delicious and beautifully presented. The portions were good as well. We will definitely be back.”

“Reservations were made in advance due to Mother’s Day. Although, I prefer to dine inside, and I told the host as she guided us to the table and sat us outside, the atmosphere is great! I don’t know if there is any inside seating. The sever was friendly and courteous. My daughter ordered Ropa vieja and ordered lechón. The sides were ok, but the lechón meat was super dry. Never has tostones before, but I had heard that are intentionally firm and crispy on the outside, but they should not be hard or tough to eat. These tostones were hard.”
