My husband and I were excited about going to Habana Cuba since we had spent some time recently in Puerto Rico and fell in love with Lechon. We ordered the "Surtido" platter for two (a combination of Lechon, Pollo and Carne) - which could have easily served four adults- the portions are HUGE. This was the best rice and beans I have had in the states, however, all of the meat (the chicken, pork and beef) was completely dried out and difficult to chew and swallow. It was very dissapointing, but I would consider going back and giving it another try. The dining room needs a severe face lift as everything seems old and worn out. It was OK but not great, and definately nice to have some different ethnic food. Service was good and fast.

Pros: Great Beans and Rice, Good Service

Cons: Meat was very dry and tough to chew, interior decorations/restaurant ambiance is very tired and worn out
