Habana Hemingway Cafe - Williamsburg

The food here is delicious and reasonably priced. The restaurant has a charming atmosphere, although it was quite empty during our Monday lunch visit. The service was prompt, and I particularly enjoyed the chicken panini. We also tried the mango chicken, which was excellent. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area, especially if you're visiting Busch Gardens, as it’s conveniently nearby.

For our main courses, we had Bistec Palomilla (garlic flank steak), Lechón Asado (roast pork), and Masitas de Puerco (pork bits), along with Garlic Shrimp (Camarones Al Ajillo). Everything was devoured and just as delicious as what you'd find on Calle Ocho. The Mojitos were perfect, and the Old Cuban cocktail took me back. The coconut flan, my favorite Cuban dessert, was delightful, and the Cuban coffee, complete with caramelized sugar foam (espuma), was spot on. As someone from Cuba, I can confidently say that Habana Hemingway is an authentic Cuban restaurant.

This place was outstanding! We went on a Wednesday night and learned that they do salsa dancing. We didn't participate that night but want to in the near future! The food was wonderful and full of flavor as well. It reminded me of when I used to live in South Florida when I was a kid.

We went late in the afternoon, and no one greeted us for some time, so we sat ourselves. The waitress seemed surprised to see us there, but she was great. We order friend yuca with mole to dip in and it was amazing! I ordered grilled chicken and my partner had the Cuban sandwich. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meal here!

I had a mojito at la Bodequita del Medio , where cuban Mojito come from and the way this cubans make it Habana Hemingway is the real cuban way , on the other hand the cuban sandwich in my opinion better that the one you get in Miami , Im cuban myself and when I say this is the real deal is because it is !!!!!! cuban girl Leticia served me super professional !
