Habana To Go - City of New York

I’m not looking to undermine anyone’s star ratings, so I won’t give an unfair score. However, I believe the management should be aware that your waitstaff accidentally spilled an entire tray of drinks on my lap without offering any apology or explanation.

To start, the rice was yellow, which is not the traditional way rice and beans are served. Usually, it would be white rice with the beans, but I decided to give it a chance anyway. My toddler wouldn’t even touch the food and insisted that she wanted nothing to do with the beans. I tried the food myself, and honestly, it was the worst I’ve ever had. The chicken was incredibly bland—so dry it could have been mistaken for kindling in a forest fire. The rice was more akin to a poor version of Mexican rice, and the beans? I've had better straight from a Goya can. This is undeniably not a Cuban restaurant. Please just call it what it really is: a mediocre Mexican restaurant. I was incredibly disappointed to see so many non-Hispanic customers dining there, seemingly misled into thinking this was good Cuban or Mexican food. Thumbs down all the way!!!

The Cuban sandwich is absolutely amazing! The spicy sauce adds a fantastic touch to the sandwich. It definitely ranks among the top five Cuban sandwiches in the city. The service is also very friendly. I highly recommend it!

Quaint spot in Soho, almost an institution. Small but lively dining room. One of my favorite spots in the neighborhood. Service was excellent, they took us even though they were closing. The burrito was great and the BEST Mexican Corn in the city, always cooked perfectly. Would recommend against and again.

This is our go-to place whenever we are shopping at Soho. We always order the corn, cubano and Mexican coke. This time I also tried the drip coffee. It wasn't dripped in front of me but I really enjoyed the coffee.
