We were visiting Austin and Habana was always top of my list. Excellent food. The Platano Loco and tres Leche café never disappoint. My partner had the vegetarian plate which was like an appetizer sampler platter and also excellent. Food was delicious, weather was perfect for the cabana seating, and the waiter was knowledgeable and prompt. They've erected some fencing around the cabanas which helps to shield from sun and traffic. Overall, 10/10.

Our server was very nice and full of energy. The pork was good although the sides were boring and all and all over priced. We may have made bad choices for our taste that day but for the price we likely will not try it again.

The food was not good at all. I had the Cuban sandwich. I figured try something simple but the pork was so salty there was no way to eat it. My wife had the ropa vieja but it lacked. The plantain was terrible and not to mention the sandwich with fries was 25 dollars. Had the food been good it would be worth it. They offered to remake it but I don’t see how it could have gotten better. Service was ok. The best thing there was the soda.

Habana Soco is a very laid-back, casual cuban spot. There’s outdoor seating, which is nice on a good weather day, and a free parking lot. The service was friendly but not as attentive.

As for the food, it was okay but nothing particularly memorable. Everything was decent, just not great or especially flavorful compared to other options around town. It’s also kinda pricey for what you get.

Staple foods are my preferred point of reference when it comes food, after all is why we really go out to eat. I was happy to come and sample this cuban spot and I will surely go for round 2, as the first visit was average on the food front: I ordered some ROPA VIEJA (shredded beef with rice and beans) and the beef itself was very good, but the meal fell apart with the absence of the delicious beans and moist white rice customary of this dish. The vibe of the place was simple and with cool cuban themed paintings such as Celia Cruz. The staff was very friendly and the service was fast, as I had hoped, given the fact that I was the 2nd table, early in the pm during the week. Since the rice was lacking some flavor I decided to get some avocado to add, but sadly it came at the end of the meal. The overall price tag I felt it was above the meal experience, specially when I saw the hit I took for the avocado serving alone; $8!!! ouch. Again, I'll try it again so I can sample other dishes and then let you know how it went.
