Customer Reviews
I feel like they have the best tacos I have tried in a long time. You have to try the steak taco at Cafe Habana. Heck, try the shrimp one too. Heck, make it a taco fest because their tacos are really that good. They also make anything steak so darn delicious. Their steak dinner with rice and beans was also nice. I love their cut tomato that comes with the meal. It’s soooo good. If you want to grab drinks they also have a bar. I love the vibe and the staff are very sweet and helpful. Tell them Toni said to check them out. Those tacos are worth the drive if you don’t stay around Malibu. Oh one last thing… Apple Maps will take you to the wrong address. At least mine did. Their entrance is located on cross creek not on PCH. Have fun and happy eating.
Cute location in a nice area. Overall, in my opinion food was basic but it came out a bit on the expensive for the full experience. The guacamole was fine - but not necessarily worth it. I got the piña colada - I am still not sure if there was alcohol or not but it was tasty and sweet to my liking. But - in case you want something a bit strong it might not be a good pick. The asada was apparently really good. My bowl was average. Mixed with the sour cream, it was okay, but still got some weird pieces of chicken (fat or hard parts) - I know it can happen but it did gross me out a bit. Staff was nice. It was nothing terrible, but nothing crazy - average restaurant in my opinion.
A great place for a meal. Our family enjoyed everything; especially the plantains and the corn.
We got take out, and everything was fresh and well cooked. I got a shrimp taco, a steak taco, my husband got the burrito and we shared the corn and a guacamole. Everything was a little bland. You could tell the ingredients were quality and they were cooked nicely - not overcooked steak or rubbery shrimp - but everything needed salt, or spice, or both. The salsa or red sauce that came with our food was like tomato water! The corn was good but it also lacked flavor. The guacamole was completely bland. The burrito was very good, I think the red rice in it carried the flavor. I’d get this again because there is so few options in Malibu especially for any kind of tacos or burritos, but if I were somewhere with more options I probably wouldn’t unfortunately.
We ordered a classic cesar salad that came with its own 8oz chicken it was good and tender. I also ordered their fish tacos that came with the rice and bean they were very well seasoned I enjoyed them.
