I do love this place. The food is good, the plantains incredible and the women that work here r on top of it. I’m an avid goer and lover of this spot, however recently they have been updating their menu and the markings for what is GF and Vegan or Vegetarian are not consistent. This is a huge issue that I hope they solve. As I am annoying, I walked the waiter through all the mistakes in the menu which prompted a lovely waitress who seemed much more knowledgeable than the grumbling man I was dealing with, to come out and confirm I hadn’t been glutening myself here for 4 years. Please please I beg you fix the markings, have someone knowledgeable in dietary restrictions look over it or at least have multiple eyes on it to double check it’s consistent, because it’s super scary and incredibly annoying. Otherwise a gem, please get the plantains

I am always astonished when I eat here. The only place I allow myself to eat gluten is here when I order the Cubano.

Casual Habana - one in Hackensack is currently under construction but may open by then depending on when. There’s another in New Milford (not far). The chef always is familiar and can guide me safely.
