“ Love this place! I’m a huge fane of Cuban Sandwiches and this place has one of the best I’ve had. I find it to be very traditional. You can taste the pork roast, ham, pickles and mustard with every crunchy bite of the fabulous pressed bread. The pork roast is outstanding. I’ve had both Maduritos and Yuca Frita for sides. Both are are excellent. We always end our meals with a cup of their Cuban coffee. ”
“ Cafe Habana City is such a gem in Lafayette! Always delicious and decent portion size. They used to host Latin dance nights as well, but I'm not sure they're doing those anymore. Overall, great food and great vibe. I've tried almost everything on the menu, and my favorite is the ropa vieja. ”
“ Food is great. You may wait a minute to have your order taken and food may take about 15 minutes to come out because its made fresh from what I can tell. ”
“ I came like a yr ago and was disappointed, I still gave 3 stars cause their black beans and rice are so good. So I decided to give them another chance and I'm so glad I did I guess you can't have 2 reviews cause it wouldn't let me review it again, which I find to be crazy cause if I don't give a 5 there's a reason BUT I'm willing to give a 2nd chance and I'm glad I did cause it was so good and filling ”
“ Excellent food. My husband is Cuban and I have been to Havana 6 times. I was so surprised to find their food to be very authentic. I totally wasn't expecting that in Lafayette Louisiana! We ordered the bistec de cerdo with yucca, and rice and beans. Sooo delicious! Next time we are in town we will be back. ”
“ Fantastic service and quick too. The food was delicious and very thankful to the waitress who helped us make some decisions. Got the beef croquettes and maripositas for starters. Both delicious and filling. We then got some quick sandwiches - the Media Noche is so amazing. It’s very well priced for all the food you get! I would highly recommend stopping here. ”
