The corn is great. The rice is very flavorful and usually outshines the main dishes. The steak is good for the price you are paying.

Corn: good. Entrees: bland and overpriced, but then again I didn’t have high hopes for Mexican food in Soho.

Yes, the food here is far better than your tab would care to admit. Cafe Habana is: elbow-to-elbow, pardon-me-please-repeat, unpretentious-decor-focus-on-the-food Cuban goodness.

The corn is unbelievable, and overall, the menu is tasty and surprisingly cheap. The wait can be really long at night because locals pack the place at all waking hours. But they still have great service and their cocktails (read: mojitos and margaritas) are super fresh and more than welcome once you finally get in. I personally think the SoHo location makes it a great, cost-effective place to drop into while shopping.

5 stars for their mexican style grilled corn. anything else I can do w/o.

have to try the corn, the was kind of bland tho

tho small & packed with open windows_{the atmosphere definitely gives you that cozy cuban-habana feel!! Other than their grilled corn i love the sandwiches too! I want to check out the Cafe Haban in brooklyn} anyone knows how that one compares?

i’ve actually waited 30 minutes to come eat here.. and place is small and the seats are so packed but the atmosphere feels cozy. the foood is soooo good! the corn on the cobs with the cheese and hot pepper is soooo good. like.. AWESOMELY good. n the entrees are BIGG.

everyone knows when u come here u must get the chilli / cheese corn on the cobs. they are to die for. forgot what my entree was but it was equally good.

When I go too long without savoring some of Cafe Habana’s mouthwatering grilled corn with chili powder, cotija cheese, and lime, it starts showing up in my dreams with disturbing regularity. Eventually I head downtown and brave the crowds to snag a table at this tiny eatery, and I remember that it’s not just the corn that’s incredible. The salads are fresh and complex, the tlacoyo de tresmarias a perfect indulgence with goat cheese and masa, the skirt steak smoky and flavorful.

Wash it all down with some tall mojitos, and then move on out, because someone is definitely waiting for your table.

This place is mad small and jam packed… but their grilled corn is awesome.. they put butter and cheese on it

The wait at the door is quickly forgotten once the scrumptious, must-have corn-on-the-cob gets to the table. The memory of this corn makes my mouth water with it’s lime and parmesan and yummy butter coating. It’s down-to-earth place with character people to match and an easy and stroll to great shopping along Broadway near Houston.
