I gave the atmosphere three stars only because it's a food truck, and I don't think I would enjoy eating right there. But the food is amazing! And when I had a last minute order for Tres leches cake for my husband's birthday, she was so accommodating and kind. I absolutely love their entire menu! Chef's kiss.

We had Croqutes as an appetizer and Ropa Vieja with congris and maduros for the entree. The Croquetes were crispy on the outside with a creamy center. 5/5 ⭐️. The beef was very flavorful with great…

It can be difficult to get a culinary experience authentic to its region in Lansing, but Habana Delights nailed it! We had Croqutes as an appetizer and Ropa Vieja with congris and maduros for the entree. The Croquetes were crispy on the outside with a creamy center. 5/5 ⭐️. The beef was very flavorful with great texture and the Congris was the best we’ve had since my wife immigrated from the island a few years ago. 5/5 ⭐️ It was truly like getting a home cooked meal in Cuba. We’re looking forward to our next meal at Habana Delights
