The place smells like shit, the margaritas are pre-made,

1/5 by Nishant G. on 04/02/2022

The place smells like shit, the margaritas are pre-made, watered down and costs $11, the inside feels icky, and the outside is no better. I'll never come here again.

🤮

For the food, I would give it 5 stars.

1/5 by Lia H. on 03/26/2022

If the boss is reading this review, I recommend changing the staff,I come here from Long Island only to eat corn, this has never happened to me, but today I was quite disappointed and unwilling to tip, the first time I thought this was racism? Or what,From the moment she entered, she had a bad expression and the other servers were also quite unfriendly. When we left time, an employee named Maria was very kind to me, so I wanted to give her a separate tip.Rose and Roslyn? Their service was the first unfriendly experience I had while living in New York, and the next time I come back, I don't want to go in if they're still working here.Ps. You didn't seem unkind to other guests, why did you do that to me and my daughters?

🤢

Cafe Habana was my go to place pre-pandemic.

2/5 by Brian D. on 03/21/2022

I would go out of my way, bring people from out of town all the way down there to enjoy the amazing Cubano sandwiches. So of course, my first weekend back in NYC, I had to go back. I ordered my Cubano, some grilled corn with cojita cheese and grabbed an outdoor table to enjoy the sunshine. I was told that when I was ready to order, to go inside and place my order, no problem. Then I was told that I would have to pay immediately, again a bit weird, but I get it that they don't want people running out on a bill, I even preemptively gave a good tip (unfortunately). We ordered our drinks, and a couple glasses of water. The cans of coke came out quick enough, but no waters. Food came out quick enough, and the server asked if I wanted any ketchup for my fries, I asked for a side of mayo instead. The grilled corn was excellent, as expected (tough to mess that up) and I was so looking forward to this sandwich, but what a disappointment. The meat was very very juicy, but so much so to make the grilled bread soggy, but not in a good way. This itself was surprising, but what was more surprising was how such a small amount of meat could make this mess. Yes, there was very little pulled pork on the sandwich. Seemed like they not only skimped on volume, but overall, it was quite bland. Oh, and I never did get my side of mayo, but the waters did arrive just before we were done. I would be willing to give this place one more try, just because of how good it used to be and hopefully it's just a one time fumble.

😍

We will go again!

5/5 by Marc W on 03/20/2022

We visited Cafe Habana for a lunch on a Sunday. Found it thru another search site looking for “Mexican Food near us” and decided to try it because of the rave reviews for the Elote corn and because they had black beans. A small hole in the wall with limited seating, but a lot of character showing that it hasn’t changed much since it opened…a good sign to me after 40 plus years. We agreed that we’ve had better street corn (too much mayo, not enough Cojita). Since we had just had a croissant and a cookie at Levian we split the Avocado, Cheese, and Verdi Salsa burrito. I wish we hadn’t! The burrito was stuffed with rice and black beans then pressed and toasted panini style. This was exactly what we were looking for! We agreed that on our next trip to NYC we might need to visit twice…and not split.

Post Covid Cubano sandwich as good as always! New, bigger

Post Covid Cubano sandwich as good as always! New, bigger restaurant with more tables inside & outside. Sat on the iconic red bench outside for lunch.

Great authentic place Everything is so delicious and the place is so cute and fun, I will especially recommend the grilled corn that was absolutely great,

😍

Really great Cuban-mexican place downtown.

5/5 by Mary N. on 03/12/2022

I heard about Cafe Habana from a few people, and actually tried their ghost kitchen takeout (kitchen united mix) a few weeks ago. The food was good even as takeout, so I was happy to try it out as a dine in experience.The inside is a simple diner style with booths/small tables. We didn't have to wait to get seated early on a weekend and table turnover generally seemed pretty reasonable.I had the corn and a salad with shrimp. I loved the corn, which had the perfect amount of toppings and seasonings. It's a little messy to eat, but there's plenty of napkins for that. My salad felt super fresh and crisp. The tortilla strips mixed in the salad were crunchy and didn't get stale/soggy as I ate. The dressing was a little plain (olive oil?), but tossing some hot sauce on made it even better.Definitely would come back or eat at the ghost kitchen, even if it's just for the corn...

😍

One of my favorite spots for a chill meal and drink in Soho.

5/5 by Chris B. on 03/02/2022

Love the laid back vibes, reasonable prices, and of course the Cubano sandwich. If you aren't feeling a sandwich, the marinated pork with rice and beans is also amazing. Honestly sometimes finding a place with a low pretentious factor in soho can be difficult, and this place checks that box.

🤮

Walked in on Mon Feb 21 around 1pm.

1/5 by Kaye S. on 02/27/2022

As soon as we walked in the waitress said in a loud voice she wanted to see vaccination and proof of ID we walked out. That's a no for me. I would never frequent this place ever again.

Cozy spot to grab one of the best Cuban Sandwich (Voted

4/5 by Jessica C. on 02/25/2022

Cozy spot to grab one of the best Cuban Sandwich (Voted Best in NYC) I've ever had. Cutest decor and friendliest staff. My sandwich came with a side of Cholula, without having to even ask. Even at times when they're packed, they hustle and deliver a great meal. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu.

😍

Okay simply put.

5/5 by Viraj K. on 02/24/2022

..this place is wow. Walking in you might have some initial judgments but I promise it will be worth your while. The margaritas were great and strong (which we love) and the food was so fresh and delicious. The corn is a MUST HAVE when you go there (order 2 because it's that good)!! I had the plantain tacos and I was pleasantly surprised at how filling and satisfying they were. Service was great... the staff was smiley and looked like the were enjoying which made the experience that much better. It is a bit smaller than you expect on the inside but I can assure you the wait is quick and well worth your time and money! Highly recommend and will definitely be going back (especially for the corn)

😍

I had nothing but a blast at cafe habana.

5/5 by Richard S. on 02/24/2022

My girlfriend and I only had to wait about 3 minutes to get seated and were provided service with excellence. The food is the most amazing part about this place though. Just one elote will have you reeling for more. I got the veggie burrito while she had the plantain tacos. And the margaritas hit strong which is just what you need walking through the city. Definitely coming back next visit and be impressed yet again!

😍

SPICY Margarita

5/5 by waayback on 02/22/2022

Sweet baby jesus, I found the perfect cocktail..Bits of Jalapenos and Cucumbers will make your mouth dance with joy..Pay the extra $4 get the large..I swear its equal to 2 strong drinks.. I love the apps here. Tostones and Guacamole are perfect.. and lordy lordy the mexican street corn. Place does look a bit dumpy, like an old diner...service is great as well

😍

RUN, don't walk to go get an amazing CUBANO sandwich.

5/5 by Susan M. on 02/19/2022

The best I've ever had. Perfectly toasted, delicious sauce. My only wish is that there were more pickles on it. I asked for more, but they didn't have them.Incredible corn on the cob. Great music and a happy vibe.I'm thrilled that they actually checked my Vaccination card and ID. Coming from the west coast, all restaurants say vaccination card required, but almost no restaurants ever check!

1/5 by David G. on 02/09/2022

Please do not remove my review as I truly had a poor experience. Yelp users should know that this is a very sub par rendition of real Cuban food. There are many better choices.

🤮

Not authentic Cuban food.

1/5 by Jennifer M. on 02/07/2022

Also Cuban and Mexican food/culture are not interchangeable.

Today I had dinner at your soho location and the service

5/5 by Ian P. on 02/04/2022

Today I had dinner at your soho location and the service was absolutely amazing Rosemary and Rose was impeccable and so polite - wow! First class all the way

The Mexican street corn and the Cubano sandwich are superb.

4/5 by kiratika p. on 01/22/2022

Quite unimpressed with the fish taco. But otherwise good service and ok ambience.

Appointment Trader

😍 5/5 Review by AcceptableParcel20 (03/24/2022 9:35 am)

Wow! First time using this website/app. It was almost hard to believe the quality of customer service I received as soon as I posted my offer. A private chat forum with me and the person helping me find the best option. Constant communication and a wonderful experience using Appointment Trader. I'm surprised it took me this long to find AT but this will now be my GO TO for hard to get restaurant reservations. It was like having my own private concierge.

Miami Beach Hot Spot Success!

😍 5/5 Review by CosmicLinen30 (02/24/2022 11:59 am)

My first experience using AT was awesome and the AT support saved the day! When my booking transfer initiated two days earlier but didn't complete by the day of the reservation, AT was able to expedite the transfer and confirm a table at Call Me Gaby in Miami Beach. Boss confirmed an excellent experience when he arrived and no issues to report. Thanks, AT! I will definitely be back and thank you very much for your prompt assistance!

Made our trip to NYC

😍 5/5 Review by CloseFiction30 (11/10/2021 8:40 am)

There was one restaurant we really wanted to visit in NYC and AppointmentTrader made that possible. Then when we had issues with the reservation transfer they were so quick to respond and fix the problem. We’ll definitely be using this again in the future.

Hottest michelin star restaurant in DC

😍 5/5 Review by AstoundingRay77 (09/27/2021 12:06 pm)

I highly recommend this service. Reservations sell out in minutes as they become available at this restaurant. I was able to get a table at the exact time we wanted, on a peak weekend night. Amazing!

Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/09/2021 5:10 pm)

Best Answer It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Working on your bid?

Question by DemurePain59 (10/01/2021 1:24 pm)

Best Answer Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Process after bid is accepted.

Question by EvocativeFold67 (09/17/2021 8:11 pm)

Best Answer Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.

Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?

Question by ColorfulRod45 (07/13/2021 3:55 pm)

Best Answer Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.

What happens if my bid expires unanswered?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/08/2021 5:55 pm)

Best Answer Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
