Dinner at Habana - A cuban Restaurant

Habana located at 2930 Bristol St, Costa Mesa, CA is a vibrant, Cuban-inspired restaurant that transports guests to a different era the moment they walk in. The interior dining room is warm, moody, and richly styled with vintage Havana charm—think weathered wood, wrought iron, flickering candlelight, and a steady undercurrent of Latin music. It's a space that feels both intimate and alive, perfect for romantic dinners, lively gatherings, or simply soaking in a one-of-a-kind ambiance.

The menu is a celebration of classic Cuban and Latin flavors with a refined touch. Signature entrées include slow-roasted pork (Lechón Asado), braised shredded beef (Ropa Vieja), and their standout Paella Habana, which combines seafood and chorizo over saffron rice. Their starters—like croquettas, empanadas, and ceviche—pair perfectly with a handcrafted mojito or a glass of sangria. Desserts and cocktails are equally well-executed, making it easy to linger and enjoy the experience from start to finish.

Just a heads-up: the restaurant also has a location in Irvine, but we're meeting at the one in Costa Mesa.

As always, 48 hours prior cancellation is required which also includes those on the waiting list as well. We’ll highly appreciate your kind consideration to those who really want to go but are waitlisted. Two times late cancellations or no show is regarded as lack of concern for others and will be removed from this group. Thank you so very much for your understanding and support. Also please bring cash for bill settlement.

Thank you for your interest in this event, and I look forward to seeing you there!

Warm regards,
Jackie
