Jorge Castillo: The Little Havana Café, however, sticks to tried and true Cuban classics.
Raúl Musibay: The only Mexican item on the menu is beer.
Glenn Lindgren: This dedication to all things Cuban has created a very loyal following for this atmospheric restaurant.
Jorge Castillo: The Little Havana Cafe has excellent sandwiches and a basic menu of Cuban favorites from picadillo to vaca frita.
Raúl Musibay: Start your meal with a couple of Cuban tamales. Those local Texans who have grown up eating Mexican tamales may be in for a surprise.
Jorge Castillo: You need to expand your horizons a bit and learn to eat and enjoy the more subtle and complex flavors of this great tamal.
Glenn Lindgren: The camarones enchilados are five good size shrimp in a sauce of onions, peppers, and tomatoes. Vaca frita is shredded beef, fried until the edges are crispy.
Jorge; Or if you prefer a softer shredded beef, the ropa vieja is moist and flavorful in a traditional tomato-based sauce.
Raúl Musibay: Miami Cubans would shake their heads at the idea of paying $1.20 for a Cuban coffee.
Jorge Castillo: Some of our favorite places in the real Little Havana sell the same thing for 60 cents!
PRICES: Very reasonable: most entrees priced less than $8.00.
DRESS: Very Casual
BAR: Beer and wine
CARDS: Visa, MasterCard
