Habana Outpost

I had an amazing experience at this spot! The Cuban sandwich was perfectly toasted with incredible flavor. The tacos were delicious and beautifully presented, with the pork and pineapple being my favorite combination. The elote was also fantastic, with the perfect balance of heat. I loved how they had a station outside with a variety of hot sauces and extras to customize your meal—such a great touch! If you're craving a delicious Cuban or tacos, this is definitely the place to be!

Relaxing just came into town we are tired just came to eat try the bowl with chicken it is awesome no dressing needed husband tried steak sandwich! It was juicy . Rice is not as good as my husbands only cause he is watching me post this! Haha. It was really great eat outside pleasant bring kids to get wet in there small sprinkler.

This place is fun. Open fresh vibe. New Orleans inhabited by Havana. Great music, indoor outdoor seating. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. The staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed it all.

Loved the ambiance. I came around 10pm where they were closing so I could dine in but still enjoyed exploring the indoor and outdoor space. I had the shrimp nachos, plantains, elote and a mango frozen margarita. Very delicious!

Stumbled upon this spot while exploring New Orleans, and what a gem it turned out to be! I ordered the chicken bowl with an extra scoop of guacamole, and it was a perfect balance of flavors. The juicy grilled chicken paired with the warm, seasoned rice and hearty beans created a comforting, well-layered bite every time—and the guacamole brought it all together with its creamy, zesty finish. The atmosphere was just as colorful as the food: vibrant decor, friendly energy, and a playlist that hit all the right notes without overpowering the vibe. You could tell they put thought into creating a space that feels alive and welcoming. The only downside? The wait was a bit long—about 30 minutes. Then again, maybe I was just too hungry to wait patiently. Either way, the food was absolutely worth it. With so many great places to eat in NOLA, this one stood out as an unexpected favorite. Definitely a spot I’ll come back to

Neat Cuban cafe restaurant with a lovely ambiance and decor both inside and outdoor patio. Love the overhead music. Good Cuban grub. Superb friendly service. I recommend this cafe.

Foodie Alert! Whether you make it a destination or take a break from the Frenchmen St music scene, this joint is great! The dishes are delicious and authentic, the setting is fun and unpretentious, the team is spunky and gracious. A totally satisfying meal - thank you!

I had a wonderful experience here. I stumbled across it after a parade, and it was still open late at night so I stopped by for a post-parade snack! I got the sweet plantains and they were so delicious. I want to come back and get a full meal and a drink because everything on the menu looked amazing!

Habana Outpost: Where Gas Meets Class (and Great Grub) Tucked into an old converted gas station on the edge of the French Quarter, Habana Outpost is serving up food, drinks, and vibes that are a little bit retro, a little bit festive, and a whole lot of fabulous. I'd been meaning to try this spot for a while, so when me and two friends found ourselves needing fuel before a Super Bowl weekend adventure in the Quarter, we pulled in, engines revving for shrimp and sips. Let's start with the atmosphere--it's adorable in the way that says, "Stay a while, we won't judge you for having three margaritas before noon." There are plenty of picnic tables outside, perfect for basking in the Louisiana sunshine. And the cherry on top? A play area for both kids and pets, complete with a water feature that squirts up from the ground. Who knew dining could feel like a day at the splash pad? The staff--one cheerful guy and a charming girl--were just as warm as the setting, ready to dish out recommendations like they'd personally tried everything on the menu (and maybe they had, lucky them). After some deliberation (and drooling), I went for the grilled shrimp nachos, and let me tell you--chef's k-- Nope, nope...not using that over used phrase. But you get the idea. They were phenomenal. The shrimp were perfectly seasoned, plump, and juicy, with that delicate "just kissed by the grill" texture. None of that rubbery nonsense here. They sat proudly atop a bed of freshly made tortilla chips, layered with gooey goodness and flavor bombs in every bite. And at $12, the price was more than reasonable. Honestly, they could've brought me a wheelbarrow of those nachos, and I'd still be scraping the bottom for crumbs. Now, about the spicy Mezcal margarita. You know I love a good Mezcal moment, and this one did not disappoint. Smoky, spicy, and packing a punch, it was everything I wanted and more. The Tajin-coated rim was the stuff of dreams, and yes, I shamelessly licked that rim clean. No judgment here, right? But for $12 at a counter-service spot, I'll admit it stung a little. Next time, I'm timing my visit for happy hour and doubling my pleasure with those buy one, get one free drinks--because that's a deal even my margarita-loving heart can't ignore. The happy hour, running M-F from 4 to 7 PM, offers buy one, get one free drinks--a deal so good it might as well come with a warning label. And if you're into Taco Tuesdays, this is your spot--tacos are $2 off, and that's the kind of math I can get behind. Final verdict? Habana Outpost isn't just a pit stop--it's a destination. I'm already planning my next trip back, margarita glass in hand. So if you see me posted up by the water feature, maybe tossing shrimp to my pups, mind your business--or better yet, join me. This place is too good to enjoy alone.

We were here for the Banksy. Which is inside and unfortunately behind a chain link fence. We stayed for lunch and it was fine. The Cubano was a different version void of pickles and Chipotle mayo added. It was cool to try a unique version and it was good. The house made salsa was fresh but a little bland, I liked the Al Pastor taco a lot but the others i was with said their food was a bit boring too. All in all a decent lunch and a view of an iconic street artists work.

OMG that a gem this restaurant is! After our original plan didn't work out we discovered this location. They offer vegan options which is a must for me. There's seating outside and inside, plenty of street parking nearby. Order at the counter and the workers were friendly. It was giving beach town vibes and it was definitely a different atmosphere. The vegan elote was delicious! First time trying it out at a location. The vegan taco was great, just thought the price was too high. The lemonade was sweet and sour and perfect! There's an outdoor splash pad for the kiddos which I thought was adorable! Highly recommend this restaurant! And I will definitely stop by again!

This one of them spots that need to be in Magazine or something. I wish I would've wrote this review right after to get the full intensity down but here goes nothing. It's on the corner. Nice size spot. Indoor and outdoor seating. Ask about the specials. I went for one of the frozen daiquiris. $10. Mixed the Pina Colada with one of the others. They all Top shelf. Staff great. Food smacking. Like everything. Not one thing being okay. No everything was great that we ordered. One of the few spots I'm repeating when I come back

I love what they've done with the place. Food was tasty and the sangria marg I had was as well. The ordering process at the bar was easy too!

The food was delicious . I had the roast pork taco which was marinated pork, which was a lot in the taco , came with cilantro , onions & homemade salsa verde on a soft corn tortilla. I also had the beer-battered catfish taco with pico de gallo, cilantro and homemade salsa verde was very good. We also tried the roast pork nachos which was also delicious. The only complaint was the initial ordering of the food took awhile. There was one person taking the orders and making the drinks like they definitely need two people in the front area. Thankfully the food did come out really fast. We actually waited in line longer to order food than to receive our food. Vibe was nice, drinks were good . Parking of course is hit or miss in front of the restaurant but not a surprise bc of where it's located. All in all we will be back.

I needed dinner on the run, so I dropped into this place for the first time. I was exhausted so I took a seat at the bar, where I was served a frosty frozen mojito and the staff took my order of two al pastor pork tacos and queso. The food came out quickly. The chips were fresh and warm. The queso was rich and creamy. I'd have liked smaller chunks of pineapple in the salsa on the pork tacos. But, the seasoning was perfect and protein portion was filling. I'm intrigued by the "table-to-farm" concept and I want to go back to check out the place a little more. There were frogs and terrariums. And dog treats!

I keep willing this place to be better than it is, because it's four blocks from home. Atmosphere is great. Service is okay. Some of the food is pretty good. The chips, salsa, guacamole and queso are decent. The elote is very good. Dare I say the best thing on the menu? But the tacos... yes, the tacos, which should be the star of the show, are just lacking. Lacking flavor. Lacking originality. Lacking creativity. The margaritas are okay, but honestly, the Taco Tuesday $4 margaritas around the corner at Cosimo's are better, as is the food.

Queso is always great, tacos are good, the Cuban was okay, The corn is great! Honestly out of everything I've had the Cuban is the only thing I haven't really been a fan of. Could have been an off day. But check your orders if you get them to go, they forget things a lot.

We came here after driving by and seeing how cute the patio looked. You order at the window and the server was so friendly. The passion fruit margarita was addicting. Happy hour they're only 5 dollars which is great. The tacos were mediocre honestly. But the corn was so yummy!! The patio also has a water sprinkler if you want to bring your kids.

What a great experience! Perfect for after our granddaughter's soccer game! On a hot New Orleans afternoon the restaurant has a tropical coolness surrounded by large lush green plants and fans. Sipping on frozen margaritas and refreshing sangria it is hard to separate yourself from thinking you are not on a tropical island. The Cuban sandwich, tostones and tacos were delicious accompanied by corn on the cob that was a meal in itself! All this while we watched our granddaughter dance on the splash pad, hula hoop and just have fun without a bother to anyone. The servers were super friendly and we met the "oh so nice" owner who briefed us on some of the eco friendly components of Habana Outpost - amazing and thoughtful!! **there is an authentic Banksy mural in here** Tuesdays: 4:00 - 6:00 Kids Arts & Crafts Parents have dinner and drinks while your kids are safely occupied (Win/Win)

I found this place online and decided it would be a great place to kick off the weekend in New Orleans, so post arrival we walked to get some lunch. It was a bit of a walk, but I was able to show my husband some highlights on the way. There is plenty of seating outside and it's really easy to order - except I felt like I was missing the full menu and wasn't sure where to view it. Either way, my husband got the cubano and I got a shrimp bowl and the vegan elote. I also ordered a pina colada, but what I got seemed like a blend of margarita / pina colada. At first I thought it was disgusting, but after a few sips it was delicious. There were a bunch of picnic tables in the shade, so we put our order buzzer down in the circle and enjoyed the nice weather. The food was delicious and it was a great first meal!

I'm not sure how authentic this place is but we absolutely loved our first time at Habana Outpost. We had been stalking this place for a while now and it definitely did not disappoint. The beautiful and relaxing aesthetic of this place makes you forget that you're in the states, transforming you to a Cuban paradise with its banana leaf trees, open windows, and vintage cars. The food was also really tasty from the chicken nachos to the frozen margaritas. No crazy flavors that left me awe-struck but the queso was probably some of the best queso I've had in Nola. I also really enjoyed the street corn covered in creamy mayo, tangy lime juice, and plentiful cotija cheese. I will definitely be back to take more pictures, eat more queso and mentally travel to another land.... P.S. The staff was also really sweet and helpful when explaining to us how to place an order and handle the self-serve system.

Always pass this place up on my way to work, and decided to try it out last night with my aunt. They have a really cool car out front and also have outdoor seating. We went around 7:00 on a Sunday so it wasn't packed. They may have had about 10 other people there. We decided to order the chicken taco, steak taco, and chicken nachos. I appreciate that they have a water station there in case you don't want to buy a drink. It didn't take long for our food to come out. Both tacos were filled with a lot of meat, which I appreciated. Nachos were really good too. Only have 2 complaints. One was that the food was more on the warm side than actually hot. Second, is that it was pretty dark in there and I couldn't really see what I was getting on my nachos. My aunt was trying to avoid the jalapeño peppers but she couldn't tell where they were because it was so dark. I did like that they had a few games that you could entertain yourself with while you waited like connect four. We also did the games that were on the tray liners when our food came out. Will definitely be back, but will probably go during the day so that I can sit outside.

Casual atmosphere with friendly service. I was impressed with the vegan options. Vegan options clearly marked on the menu. The vegan po boy was good. However the vegan grilled corn was amazing!! Must get the grilled corn!

Taco Tuesday, with $2 off tacos, will always be a vibe. Started with the street corn, which was a bit tough, and was covered with basic cheese which was a flaky mess to eat. The tacos were the stars of my meal (I got the steak, shrimp, and catfish) and they neither skimped on filling nor flavor. Nice, chill atmosphere to cool off from the hot NOLA sun.

1. The service here is just impeccable. Everyone is so friendly and great for chatting with. Whether it's the outside ordering station or being inside, it's always a pleasant experience. 2. The ambiance is so great for a New Orleans eatery. Inside feels like a lesson in NOLA culture, complete with the Bart Simpson style Banksy, and outside with the little splash pad and greenery surrounding the eating area makes you feel like you're in an oasis even though you're sitting on a crowded street corner. The two classic cars are also pretty cool, unless one starts up and then you suck down the fumes while seated outside. (true story, sit further from the entrance) 3. The food. I have not had a bad experience here and I don't expect that I will. Their queso is weirdly thick, almost velveeta like, but that has its own benefits, too. My absolute favorite are their tostones with this amazing dipping sauce they serve them with. I could eat those every night of the week! Overall, I'm in love and would happily come back here any chance I get. It doesn't feel like the typical New Orleans experience, but that's also part of its charm. A little something different on the edge of the tourist zone.

Friendly service. Solid food. Frozen drinks. Indoor and outdoor seating. SPLASH PAD!!! I can s-a-y I brought my kid here to enjoy the splash pad while I slurp my frozen mojito and gobble down eggplant al pastor tacos, but let's be real... on a summer afternoon, that splash pad is just as much for me!

Spoiler Alert: the food is inventive and delicious. HOWEVER the single-line, stand-to-order, minimal front-end staff operations approach can be infuriating if you aren't the first in line. We waited almost 40 minutes before we could order, all the while watching others ahead of us talking to the woman taking orders. Long debates on dishes and choices is not efficient and highly disrespectful of those waiting in line. It does not support drink refills; go to the back of the line if you want anything other than water. Should you want to eat here, check the line. If you are not first, second, or third in line, change your plans. If you're third, observe how efficiently the order taker is. If they are highly conversational, bail out. Really too bad, because the food really was exceptionally well prepared and seasoned. But by the time I got to the register I ordered the bare minimum to give them the least of my money.

We had a great dinner at Habana Outpost. It's super chill, with some outdoor and some indoor seating. Counter service. I love the old school convertible they have out front. I had a the chicken nachos, and they are very generous with the toppings! I also enjoyed a frozen mojito, which was very good. The street corn was awesome! I always scrape most of the mayo off, but that's just me. Full marks for the plantains- they were so good. One of my friends thought her dinner was too spicy, and I heard that the salsa had a pretty solid kick, but I liked mine. From here, it's an easy walk to the clubs on Frenchman.

I really wanted to love this place but left underwhelmed. The bad: Agree with what another reviewer said about only one person taking food orders and serving drinks which made the process extremely slow. It was a Saturday night so you would think they would staff up? I didn't have any drinks, so can't comment on that but the food was hit or miss. I ordered the pastor tacos - very bland and drenched in some type of red sauce which also had no flavor. Queso was chunky and decent but the chips were greasy, hard and bland again. Sorry no pics of the actual food. Now for the good - beef quesadilla did have a good flavor as did the guacamole. The place itself is fun and colorful so had a nice laid back vibe. I will be back to give this another shot and hope I caught them on a bad night!

I love the look of this place. Like a hole in the wall kind of jewel. It promises a good time; the look...great space with plenty of outdoor seating. The service was prompt-Patrons order at the bar-and the food came out quickly (they weren't busy at 11:30). I didn't try the frozen drink options, but, there were four or five ready to go! I ordered the Famous Cuban Sandwich and my husband ordered the chicken bowl. We gobbled it down, but, I gotta' say, I was disappointed in the Cuban. Not terrible and not great; added mustard for a little oomph. Too expensive for what it was...and I LOVE a Pressed Cuban Sandwich. So; more infamous,with me, than famous from now on. The chicken bowl was a better bet. The chicken looks quite seasoned, but, isn't really flavorful. It IS tender and good. The bowl was generous and my husband really enjoyed it. We may give it another go when we wanna tie one on, or have some margaritas, but, the food is adequate, not bangin'. Wish the food we had was tastier and a tad more creative. Maybe we ordered the wrong items. Dunno.

Love this place, and I could even call it one of the best kept secrets in New Orleans - especially if you have little ones. My kiddo is obsessed with the splash pad and the games that are around, while my husband and I are obsessed with the happy hour drink specials, ha. The food is good, everyone who works there has been so lovely, and we just keep coming back!

Just a few mere steps from our door is a really cool place that fills the bill for everybody! Eat indoors or out - both have their distinctive ambiance with an overshading (literally) of tropicale. The food is varied in that you can't just call it tacos, it's Latin American. Start with a top shelf frozen drink and add "Bocas" like their fried plantains with avocado dip. Then get a Cuban sandwich and you will come back again and again for just that! That will keep you going for a while , people watching, because it is at the entrance to the French Quarter and everybody enters here! Got a little one? The French Fries fill the bill - seasoned perfectly! Under the canopy is a splash pad that is always on and 2 coin operated cars. I'm not even going to tell you about the Banksy! Just Come!

We were looking for some dinner and we stumbled upon this establishment. I'm so grateful we found this restaurant because everything was well prepared and delicious. The customer service was pleasant and fast. The cashier allowed me to sample the frozen cocktails so I would know how they tasted before I made a decision on what drink to have. My favorite was the Frozen Mojito. I also ordered the grilled Street corn, tostones and marinated roasted pork bowl. I enjoyed my entire meal. The restaurant had nice scenery and music was playing. It was not loud and the atmosphere was nice. Everything tasted so good and my drink was refreshing. I will have to visit the other location in NY soon. If you're looking for great food try this place.

Oh, Habana Outpost, where have you been all these years? We've been there a few times now and every meal has been perfect an on-point. Hands-down the best Cuban food we've found in New Orleans to date, and the vibe and the people working there always make lunch/dinner a cheerful experience.

Great layout and music. The food is incredible. Cinco de mayo lunch - coming back for sure there aren't many great Mexican restaurants in Nola

This place has never quite caught on; originally I was a fan but now it is not worth a visit . They recently changed their menu, and it appears what flavors they had on the menu are now totally gone. I ordered a chicken bowl , which consisted of a large bowl of bland rice, a few pieces of lettuce and pico, and grilled chicken on top that was fairly unseasoned. I ordered a side of guacamole and it also lacked any salt or cilantro; it almost tasted sour. I can say the chicken was freshly cooked and sliced up, similar to what you would get it going to Applebees.

This is such a cute spot! I've had my eye off this spot since I saw the festive old school car outside during Mardi Gras. The stars aligned for me to finally stop in while seeking a late night spot to grab a bite after celebrating a friend's birthday. Their large patio is inviting, the music is a vibe, and the food is yummy! You're greeted by lush greenery upon entering the patio. There's open sitting both inside and on the patio, but you first order at the window. They serve Cuban and Mexican inspired cuisine with items like quesadillas, tacos, nachos, and bowls on the menu. Just about everything that we tried was a quite yummy--the pork nachos, elote and shrimp bowl were my favorites. I would probably add a little crema or something to the bowl, but it was a great option if you wanted something lighter. There are also a variety of frozen drinks, but I didn't get a good look at all the options, but there's for sure a margarita! What stood out the most for me on this trip was how wonderful the service was. We got there about an hour before closing time and there were only a handful of folks there. The staff greeting us with smiles, talked us through menu items, gracious accommodated requests, and were just incredibly sweet throughout our entire visit. Another cool thing about the space is how eco friendly it is! They use a geothermal system to power their cooling and refrigeration systems and turn the waste produced into soil for a local organization for farming. It also has a lot of cool local and local influenced art.

Love this place! They have a bunch of vegan options which is amazing! The vegan street corn was incredible and so was the vegan po boy. I don't even like beans and the potatoes and beans pressed in the Leidenheimer bread was next level. They have a large patio and a Banksy mural inside. It's very casual quick serve but made to order with fresh local ingredients. They offer pitchers of beer and margaritas as well as some unique South American drinks like the caipirinha which I hope to try next time! They are also very environmentally sustainable which is so important in this below sea levers city but seems to be rarely thought of. Love what they're doing and highly recommend a visit!

Since we were in the area at a museum and having happy hour nearby we decided to have an early dinner here. Staff is very friendly provide excellent service. Food is just ok, nothing special but nothing bad either. Ordered their vegan version of a po boy and it was good just the filling was very mushy (some type of potato). Fries were good and fresh. My friend had the cuban sandwich and he said there was nothing Cuban about it. He also ordered the fried plantains and he said they are not supposed to be burnt. It appears to be nothing but outside dining.

Back in less than two weeks to try the food and I can safely say Habana Outpost is a new favorite. I met up with friends while it was still death o'clock (too sunny to sit outside) so we opted for the cool interior with its large windows and verdant vibes. As soon as the sun went down a bit, we went outside for more libations and dinner. As I mentioned in my previous review, there's a bunch of vegan options, including a po-boy and a plantain/rice/beans/guac bowl. I went for the latter. Let me say that this guac is the stuff of the gods, practically velvety in texture and lots of other goodness involved besides the humble avocado. It's a hearty option. I also had an eggplant al pastor taco and it is excellent, bursting with sweet eggplant, guac, pineapple and veggies. I also have to give props to the staff here. Everyone is SO nice and is always coming around to check on you, ask how you enjoyed your food, etc. Although I don't always love ordering at a counter, Habana Outpost is an exception because it's not half-service at all. I'm so glad to have it in my neighborhood!

I was in New Orleans for 2 weeks; ate there 5 times. The Tacos are that good. Very fresh ingredients, & a speedy kitchen. The Tacos aren't sissy either; loaded & heavy. I'd of loved to of gotten the Cuban, but I couldn't stay away from the Tacos. The Rum Punch is fresh & delicious! I ordered it the first trip , it was so good I ordered again each trip.

We went to Habana Outpost for lunch and we were so blown away by the food, drinks, the staff, and the ambiance that we had to go back the next day again! I had the vegan po-boy (twice!) and the eggplant taco which was also vegan. Both were super delicious. My friends had nachos, po-boy and some other meat sandwiches and also raved about their food. Margaritas were really awesome (and half price at happy hour) and we were greeted by very friendly staff. All in all, great place to get delicious food and chill either indoors or outdoors. I'm definitely coming back every time I'm in town. Don't forget to checkout the original Banksy art inside next to the register.

The staff was pretty nice, the service was acceptable, the ambiance was cool and kid friendly for those with kids but if you prefer a more adult vibe I would definitely dine inside if kids are present. Now the food I must say was really good but the margarita on the rocks was a no go but again the food was really good!!

This place is absolutely fantastic. The ambiance is so nice and vibey, and I love the decor. The food is some of the best food i've ever had and not only that, it's SO cheap compared to a lot of the places around here. The workers were also very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Absolutely love this place.

Okay so I have been seeing these trees and wondering what was on the other side! Finally got to eat here and im sold! Kid friendly. Food is affordable and came out fast! We sat outside and it was perfect on a hot day. And staff were friendly and checked on us a few times. Playlist was fire too!

Food was delicious and filling. Drinks were tasty with just the right mix. Love the ambiance.

It's a 3.5 but I'll give it a bump since they are new. Appreciate their effort to have vegan and vegetarian options. It's a counter service style of place. Order and they bring the food out to you. The food was good but didn't wow me. The drink list is very limited. They need to add some more beer options and add some wine (which they have none). They did a nice job with the space. Wide open courtyard with a privacy hedge keeping it fairly private along their busy intersection. I might be wrong but believe they only have one single use unisex bathroom which is was bad planning. Another is a must for a restaurant of this size and volume.

I have food poisoning after eating here this afternoon, pretty sure it was the chicken on the chicken tostada in the KIDS menu.

So happy this place finally opened. Great atmosphere, great aesthetic, and great food. The owner is a great and friendly guy too. I think this is going to be an awesome addition to the neighborhood and severely needed.

I've had the eggplant el pastor and the vegan Po Boy. Both were flavorful and amazing. Margaritas and cold beer topped it off!

Great local spot, very friendly, tasty and fun Everything was great. I had three tacos - eggplant, shrimp and catfish - all tasted great and were healthy. My son had the cheese quesadilla, which came out seared and with generous portions of rice and beans. My wife and friend had the bowls, which they raved about. My only caveat was a light pour on the margaritas

Finally! Had a delish spiked lemonade and piña colada to start. Chicken taco, quesadilla and cubano sammich! Order at the window and they bring it out to you, pretty outdoor courtyard and splash pad for kids! Bout time y'all opened!

Food was mediocre, service was abhorrent, prices were reasonable. Wouldn't come back.

We stopped by on a Saturday evening. There is outdoor seating (mainly picnic tables) and a small seating area inside the building. One really neat thing is that there's a splash pad for kids. The bar inside is not yet functional. You order at an outside window, receive a pager, and then they bring you your food. The staff were all very friendly but most were clearly new. My problem was with the food and drinks - I thought they were terrible. My friend and I had a frozen mai tai and a frozen mojito. We ended up throwing both away. I had the shrimp nachos (3 shrimp) which I thought were small and reminded me of the fluorescent orange nacho cheese you get at a kid's basketball game. The corn chips were also not good. I don't think I've ever thrown nachos away, but I ate the shrimp and threw the rest away. My friend had the shrimp tacos (again, three shrimp each) which she said were fine but not much substance. I'm hoping this location improves as they just reopened, so everyone should give them a chance.

Food is great and fresh. Drinks are strong. Love their outdoor setting and that they are sustainable! I wish more restaurants would compost. Order at the window and then sit wherever.

We had to try this place because it was walking distance from where we stayed. The atmosphere was very pleasant and inviting. They have a small water feature for kids (or fur babies, LOL), large outdoor dining are with picnic tables and we played with an oversized "Jenga" while we waited for our order. Food was good. Tried the Cuban sandwich, quesadilla, plantains, chicken bowl, beans and rice. The service was fast but staff wasn't very friendly. Two younger ladies working behind the counter who seemed bothered when we asked for more salsa.

I grew up on habana outpost in Brooklyn so I was excited that there is now a location in NOLA. The service and food were on the same level as the Fort Greene, BK restaurant. The tacos were flavorful and served with fresh limes, my fiancé had the Cuban sandwich and corn--he likened the sandwich to those you would get in South Florida and the tostones were CRISP and not greasy! The drinks were balanced, just enough alcohol to not ruin the flavor of the drink or give you heartburn. The ambiance is super chill and makes you feel like you're in a hidden caribbean oasis.
