In Short
When Havana Chelsea closed shop, the neighborhood lost one of its few cheap eats staples. But another Cuban spot has risen in its place, and though the owners are different, much remains the same. Brightly colored murals make for a festive, if low-key, ambience, and antique bistro lamps hang above the few counter seats. Classic sandwiches like the Cubano get a kicky twist with chorizo, and other lunch-friendly options include tamales and ham croquettes. Plates of roast pork, fried chicken and whole red snapper offer belly-filling dinner options for less than $15.

croquetas tasted awful. empanadas were old and not Cuban nor Columbian nor Argentine... i have no idea from where but i do know they tasted BAD. an order of Yuca fries was 3$ and the serving size was 12 fries. literally 12 fries. i tasted one and they also did not look nor taste like yuca.

The food is excellent and very inexpensive for Manhattan. The cuban steak is excellent with yellow rice and black beans. Get some Papa Rellena and Yuca. And finish up with some excellent cinnamon flan.

Delicious Cuban food is served at Casa Havana by friendly people and at very reasonable prices. I work in the Chelsea neighborhood and Casa Havana is in my regular rotation, a least once per week. My coworkers feel the same way.

Feeling both ravenous and lazy? Casa Havana delivers.
