Habana Calle 6

Our 2nd stop, Habana Calle 6. This is a Cuban restaurant on 6th street. The Restaurant is really big, with indoor, patio and balcony seating.

We were there on a Thursday evening, so it was pretty much empty. Our Order and Drinks:

Appetizer:
- Mariquitas: Sliced Fried Banana Chips with Mojo sauce for dipping. It was very good. The Mojo sauce is excellent.

Drinks:
Mojito: Very good, slightly on the sweeter side.
Habana ORO: Mild Beer (One Beer that I sipped and didnt make a face)
Habanatini: Ripe Mango infused for 2 weeks with Ron Rico Rum. I liked it. Abhishek and Gautam found it oily or something. Rashi and I were on the same page. Something new and different.

Main Course:
Vegetariano Salteado w/ white rice: Lots of vegetables, a little bland. The requested Mojo made it worth it.
Pollo Salteado/Tofu w/ Arroz Con Gandules (Cuban Rice with Pigeon Peas): marinated Tofu in Spanish Spices, Onions, Bell Peppers, and stir fried on the grill. Marinated Tofu was very good. The Cuban Rice looked and tasted good.

Dessert: I cant remember or find the name of the Dessert we ate. It was awesome. The Pic says it all.
Note: All the dishes with anything Fried is fried in the same oil as the meat. if you are strictly veggie, thats something to look out for. Except for the Black Beans (really well cooked), all other Beans contains some kind of meat broth.

We all agreed on: Mojo sauce rocks !!


Here is a snap shot of the place and the food:
