" Visiting Cafe Habana was such a delightful experience! The outdoor setting is perfect and enhances the overall ambiance. I ordered the shrimp tacos which were incredibly fresh and flavor-packed. The margaritas were a highlight too! I would definitely recommend coming here, especially for a casual lunch with friends. Planning to return next week! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pleasant evening at Cafe Habana last night! The outdoor seating was perfect for the cool Malibu breeze. The food was good; I particularly enjoyed the enchiladas. However, the authenticity of some dishes was questionable. The service was friendly, albeit a bit slow. I think it’s worth a visit for the overall vibe and decent food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Habana has a lovely ambiance, but I found the food to be lacking in flavor. I tried the guacamole, and while it was fresh, it was quite bland. The service was friendly, but the speed of service was lacking. If you're looking for decent food, this might be a good stop, but if you expect authentic Cuban fare, you might leave feeling disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Habana is a delightful spot with an inviting atmosphere. The salsa was fresh, and I couldn't get enough of their tacos, although I wished they had more authentic Cuban dishes on the menu. The service was overall very good, but we did encounter a slight delay with our drinks. I’d definitely recommend it, but ensure you come with realistic expectations regarding authenticity. It's more Mexican than Cuban! " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to celebrate our anniversary at Cafe Habana and were seated promptly. The staff was welcoming, yet service was quite slow. I was looking forward to trying the Cuban sandwich, but it left much to be desired in terms of flavor and texture. The atmosphere is certainly inviting, but I think they should focus on improving the quality of their food to match the vibe. Overall, a hit-or-miss place for a special occasion. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was quite eager to try Cafe Habana after hearing a lot of buzz about it. The ambiance did live up to the hype, being cozy and inviting. However, the authenticity of the food didn't deliver as much as I hoped. My tacos lacked the wow factor, and the service was quite slow. I enjoyed the atmosphere, but I might try another place next time. A good experience overall, but I wouldn't recommend it as a top option. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Habana has charm! The decorations and outdoor space are fantastic. However, the food did not wow me—especially the guacamole which was bland. The service was friendly but could have been quicker. Still a decent dining experience with a nice group or couple, just go in without high expectations for the menu. " (*Curated Review*)
