Habana Outpost

I've only eaten there once. Had a decent salad (the Diablo, I think) and the corn, which rocks. I was a little miffed at how small the cup of $3 ice tea was though. that felt like a total rip-off. great local vibe though. good for the area.

Great place to hang out. Not so great if you actually want to eat! Long lines and long wait time on sunny days. They even stop taking orders if it's really crowded to give the kitchen (truck outside) time to catch up with the orders.

Yeah, I hate when places are skimpy on iced tea. Or fill the glass with ice and then charge for a refill. I mean it costs about 2 cents per glass to make!

I love that they have soy hot dogs but I'm not crazy about the frozen drinks. Beer is a good deal at $2.50 though and the place is very fun. I was there on Sunday night for the outdoor movie screening (another plus) and it was packed with good-looking young people.

The ambience and general vibe of this place is amazing! Highly recommend it as a place to hang out and grab a drink on a summer day. Previous comments about the food are pretty accurate. Not a place that I would go if you are starving hungry. Lines can be a bit long. However, what a lot of people don't realize is that there is a separate beer and corn line. We usually just get corn and drinks and eat somewhere else in the area before or after Habana.

So glad too see this review! I have been wanting to go forever but didn't really know what was up! Thanks!

I agree with what most of my fellow posters have said above. This is a great spot for drinks and to socialize with friends and your neighbors. Its been a wonderful addition to the 'hood.

Has such the right local vibe, and the proof of that is how packed the joint always is, even on Mondays and Tuesdays. Favorite thing is how free and easy Habana always feels, no pressure to do anything but hang. So the only strike against is it's too much of a zoo sometimes! Corn=yum.

There is no place to hang your handbag in the eco bathroom (which by the way - are there inside bathrooms in case of rain?) I lodged it somewhere in the tiny stall and it fell on the ground (ewwww).

Great place, although the last time I was there I think it was hard to tell what annoyed the other patrons more: the screaming toddler I brought, or the off-the-leash pitbull someone else brought. And then things got really exciting when they met and, it turned out that the dog hated kids and my kid loved dogs...

So, um, anyways, the food's fine. It's a great place to hang out. Love the cubans and the corn.

The frozen drinks are overpriced (3x the price of beer!) but tasty. Some of the food is quite good (corn, cuban sandwich, plantains) but most of the rest is best avoided. Lines are nuts, unless you get lucky -- which is quite possible! I once found it with virtually no line on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon. Bliss.

I love everything about this place. Great memories get made here. My one minor complaint is that the corn starch beer cups end up leaking in about 10 minutes, so you need to concentrate on your drinking. Not such a bad thing.

I like this spot. The Cuban is decent and the corn is delish. I am not a huge fan of their drinks but you can't beat a beer, a cuban sandwich, some corn smothered in cheese and mayo and casual outdoor dining! I appreciate their eco-friendly bathroom too.
