Reviews for Havana's Cafe in Edgewater, NJ
I ordered grilled chicken Ceasar salad It is the most horrible salad i ever had in my life. The lettuce was old soft and was... already brown, the croutons were soggy and they put the hot grilled chicken on top of it so the lettuce got even worse toconsume. If you his don?t know how to present a ceasar salad to your customers, stay away from that. I would not recommend Read more
Great authentic Cuban cuisine! I had the Vaca Frita with red beans and fried yuca! Also ordered some papa rellena and croquetas... as appetizers and the home made hot sauce was ???? The management and waitress was great! Read more
This was my first time having Cuban food and it didn?t disappoint! I got the pork chunks appetizer and oxtail entree with rice... and fried plantains. The highlight was definitely the oxtail ? the sauce was perfectly seasoned, and really felt like a warmhomemade meal! The restaurant itself is a cute little spot with outdoor dining. Very much felt like a mom and pop place. Sincethere was only one person working the floor, the service was a bit slow but my server was still really attentive and took thetime to answer my questions. overall i had a fantastic experience and Would definitely recommend this hidden gem!

It was like I was back in Miami on Calle Ocho. Everything was served fresh, hot, and deliciously ???? Luz was attentive, always... smiling, and made sure I left satisfied and practically rolling out the door cause I was stuffed. Generous portions, well madeand again deeee-frigen-licious!!! ???????? Had the calamari to start (nice portion for 2 to 3 people to share), a smallensalate aguacate mixto (mixed avocado salad with romaine, tomatoes & onions), then went in on the Ropa Vieja, congri ytostones. ???? Postre (dessert) must have the flan ???? #LocalGem #GoodEats #AuthenticLatin #CubanFood #Espresso#theresthatfoodie Read more

Absolutely delicious! I love this little hidden gem. The food is good authentic Cuban food!! I am Cuban myself so it's hard... sometimes to find the food that feels like my mom made it, lol. But this restaurant does! The server was attentive and the foodcame out fast. I love the ambiance as well. Can't wait to come back! Read more
I love this place. Chicken soup, beef empanadas, their Cuban sauce, salad with avocado, fried shrimp, pasteles and their ropa... vieja is all so delicious. Their chicken soup is the best around. Waitresses there are always so nice. Just in case, BYOB. Read more
????: @havanascafe_nj ( Verdict: ???????? ???????? Still No Potatoes!) #edgewaternj Thank you Universe for another gorgeous... day. This morning my honey woke up and had her usual healthy breakfast. Around 9:30am she started craving a Cuban Pan ConBistec. ?Hopefully it isn?t something else ;-)?. Let?s go to one our favorite local Cuban spots. Havana?s Cafe in Edgewater,NJ but they didn?t open till 11am. She kept herself busy running errands till then. We were greeted and seated by Jesus(owner). We chose a nice sunny outdoor table and he even turned on the outdoor fire pit for us. We ordered two beef empanadasand a couple steak sandwiched. Of course I had to confirm there were no potatoes in the empanadas because you know?. Hey Jesus,?are there potatoes in the empanadas because I?m allergic to them??. This is when something very special happened and stilldon?t quite know exactly how I feel about it. For the first time ever? I was asked if I was the ?potato allergy guy? on IG? OMG!! Yes, it?s me. I really couldn?t believe it. Jesus mentioned how he follows me, likes my food pics and even reads myposts. I thought no one was actually reading them. So, thank you Jesus and everyone that is!!! So thankful. We love theirfood and think you will also. It?s just like mom?s or abuela?s Cuban home cooking. Friends? business is very tough nowadays. Prices everywhere just keep going up. We always try supporting local businesses when we can. Especially during these tougheconomic times if we want them sticking around. ? @vinopotato ???????? BYOB- Casual, colorful kitchen featuring an extensivemenu of traditional Cuban specialties. Read more
