Habana, Costa Mesa

This is a great restaurant with a refreshing menu; Nueva Latina- serves dishes in a Cuban setting. This feels like a little cafe in Havana from the old days. It is a great little spot where the food is good, and the customers are there to have a good time. Much of the clientele consists of professionals who work in the area. The menu features Nueva Latina fare (not simply Cuban) since it is also inspired by South American cooking. The tamales, spicy seafood dishes, and marinated pork are excellent. Entree prices range from $12.95 to $18.95. There is a full bar plus a pretty good wine list.
