My husband and I used a Groupon to try Havana Cafe for the first time. I was a little worried about some of the negative reviews I read on Yelp. But we were pleasantly surprised.\n\nThe service was great. Our waiter, Steve, was very friendly and attentive. The busboy refilled our water several times without being asked. The rest of the staff was very friendly as well.\n\nBut more importantly, the food was great. We ordered the black bean fritters with the avocado dipping sauce. The fritters were crispy outside and warm and steamy inside. And the avocado dipping sauce had the perfect amount of spice to compliment the fritters. We also ordered the plantain chips with black bean sauce. Also wonderful. The plantain chips came out warm and lightly salted, which worked well with the black bean sauce. Then we split the Masas de Puerco Fritas - the pork \"morsels\" in a garlic-lime sauce. The pork was very moist and tender with the right amount of crispness on the exterior.\n\nOf course we had to try dessert too, and split the Carribean Candy Bar - coconut flan with candied coconut, almonds, whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. It was delicious!\n\nOverall, the service and food was wonderful. We will definitely be back. My ONLY gripe is the plastic chairs...
