Habana

Since my trip to Central and South America, I've had a passion for the food from that region! After visiting the bar next to this restaurant last time, I quietly noted this restaurant down! When I came today, it was actually earlier than the time I had reserved, but the front desk staff was very enthusiastic and immediately arranged a seat for me, even offering me a glass of rosé wine! This really set a great atmosphere as I entered the restaurant! After being seated, the server who warmly attended to us was very attentive, perfectly fulfilling our every request and need!

Today we ordered:
❤️ cheese empanadas
After having the most authentic version of this dish in Central and South America, I couldn't forget about it. Although today's version from this restaurant was a little different, the texture of the filling was very similar. Plus, they had a different sauce to go with it, making it quite a unique flavor! It came out especially hot, so some oil may splatter out, which is something to be careful about!
❤️ ceviche tropical
This dish is a must-try from Central and South America, but it was my first time having it paired with banana slices. It actually enhances the freshness of the raw fish, adding a light sweetness from the banana, making it a wonderful appetizer!
❤️ rum pepper shrimp 🦐
This dish made me feel less like I was eating South American cuisine; it looked more like a sweet and sour shrimp dish from Chinese cuisine. Although it tasted good, it gave me the illusion of eating Chinese food. Some people really enjoyed it and polished off most of it. If someone is hesitant to try South American dishes, they might consider giving this one a go!
❤️ El churrasco
The steak in this dish was quite good; although I personally prefer the texture of filet, the way they prepared the sirloin was impressive! It was tender and juicy in the middle, and the accompanying side dishes were appetizing as well!

Overall, this is a restaurant I would definitely return to. Each dish was mostly on point; although I personally didn't like the dish that resembled Chinese food, my friends praised it endlessly. I believe there will definitely be others who enjoy that flavor! If you're visiting this area, you should give it a try!
