Tasty Cuban


If you ever find yourself strolling in Nolita and decide that you need a bite to eat then do yourself a big one and stop by Cafe Habana. Located on Prince Street at Elizabeth this place offers great Cuban-American food that is delicious and different. Today I had the Cuban Sandwich-self proclaimed "Best in the City"-and I gotta say it was darn close. It's filled with tender pulled pork, ham, cheese, pickles, chipotle mayo and topped with crispy french bread. Angel had the chicken burrito and side of mexican corn. The burrito was great--char-grilled chicken with fresh lettuce and tomatoes--and could feed two people easily. The mexican grilled corn had some nice heat and the parmesan cheese was different--I mean that in the best way possible. We also split an order of pan fried plantains--clean, fresh, sweet--just how they should be. What sealed the deal for me was Coke in the glass bottle. Something about it, gets me every time.
