The mojito is amazingly good there. We had brunch there and it was fantastic and to top it it very reasonably priced. We had two drinks and brunch thingy and it was around $30.

I too often think of Mr. Farrell's famous line from Miami Vice. Maybe this is because I too am a fiend for mojitos. Waltzing in to Cubana Cafe and finding a t-shirt on the wall celebrating the mojito was all I needed to know that I liked this place. The mojito was good and the food was good as well. The only things I have to complain about were the annoying videobloggers outside the window and the Zombie Bar across the street. Zombies are dangerous.

As Colin Farrell once (imortally) said, "I'm a fiend for mojitos." One of my favorite memories of this summer was a summer Friday I spent at home, and a long walk culminating in tasty mojitos at the turquoise-tiled bar here. It would be stupid to say that the ambience was just like being in Havana, but it really does feel like being somewhere other than Brooklyn, with its bright pastels, pleasant clutter, laid-back atmosphere and open-to-the-street layout (though the quintessentially Brooklyn activity of people-watching is another one of its attractions). The food is good, filling stuff, nothing fancy, and the prices reflect that. Unfortunately, the downside of cozy-good drinks-inexpensive is that the place gets really packed during conventional mealtimes, and the seating is cheek-by-jowl.
