    This place is an authentic Mexican gem. I have had the pleasure of dining here for over a decade, and the consistency of great food has always been satisfying. I usually get the chorizo tacos and enchiladas Verdes. This is my favorite Mexican restaurant.

    Really enjoyed my dinner tonight! Ordered a Mango Margarita and it was really good! For appetizer we got the shrimp and octopus ceviche it’s was really delish!! For many corse we had the enchiladas Rojas de carne it had rice beans cheese and surprisingly sweet, also tacos half Al pastor and half chorizo yummy! For dessert the flan was the best flan I have had in a very long time! They have coffee with steamed milk. I really recommend this place! Awesome service!

    They have very good food actually and a great service, the only problem is that when we ordered food to go pick it up, they charged us $8 of tips when we didn’t even give them any, they were also laughing when they were at the counter.

    We passed by this restaurant on our way to New York. Although the food was authentic and affordable, I would not go back because of the numerous stares and uncomfortable environment for non-Mexican customers such as myself.

    Words can’t describe how in love I am with this place. The food is extremely fresh and the environment as you can see from the photos is very vibrant. It’s my first time eating here and this place has voided out all others places that I liked before. This is my NEW number 1 Mexican restaurant. HIGH RECOMMENDED if you’re looking for fresh authentic Mexican cuisine.

    Despite an awkward ordering process, LA Cabana is a great choice for flavor. I enjoyed the Chiles Rellenos dish that comes with two stiffed peppers plus a side of rice and refried beans. The steak was cooked and well seasoned. Attached to the review are photos of their current menu. This way, you won't have any confusion during ordering especially if you are enjoying LA Cabana for the first time. Happy eats!

    I did not realize I had such a gem right in my backyard. The food was authentic and delicious. The service was absolutely extraordinary. Being that we were dining outside, the waiter made sure to accommodate the umbrellas so that the sun wasn’t hitting our faces. That gesture alone won me as a customer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!!!

    Really good food! Loved the Pollo a La Mexicana, the guacamole, the rice, and the enchiladas con verde! 4 stars instead of 5 because unfortunately it smells strongly of fish when you walked in

    Great place to come to have the best food but be careful going on Sundays. It is crowded and I just wished they can hire at least 3 more ppl to match the traffic that comes in. Overall, drinks and food is great.

    Food was very dull. No real taste. Horchata & Jamaica are flavorless! Doesn’t really taste like “ mexican food “ Tacos were ok…. All good ordered definitely lacks seasoning. Only Good thing was the Fresh squeezed orange juice and pineapple juice.

    Great food, excellent service, great value for money, will certainly keep going back. The freshest Salsa that I have eaten here in the US, the food was spot on, the seafood Ceviche with Octopus was one of the best I have ever eaten, not at all bastardized or americanised. The mere fact that we were only non latinos in the house, speaks a lot about the place.

    A group of us had a craving for Mexican food and decided to go to La Cabana based on a recommendation of a friend. It was a great recommendation. The food was outstanding. Fresh ingredients, well prepared and tasty food was the word for the meal. Service was good and the price was very reasonable. They recently got a liquor license and now serve wine.

    Perfect gem to find. Had the steak and pork chops in garlic sauce which tasted amazing. Mango Margarita and Lemon Margarita have the perfect mix and not sweet. Definitely going back to try other items. Has cute decor with engraved and painted chairs. Staff are very friendly and quick in serving.

    Amazing food. Was a little confused on the bill as it is not itemized. Will definitely return here. I got the beef street tacos. They bring pico, homemade hot sauce, and limes to the table when you are seated. We also ordered the guacamole and it was amazing! Highly Recommend.
