"On The Best Thing I Ever Ate: On a Stick, Tyler Florence names a NYC favorite: Grilled Corn. Although Cafe Habana's known for a mean Cuban sandwich, it's just as famous for the Mexican-Style Grilled Corn smothered in mayonnaise, cotija cheese, lime and the perfect dusting of chili powder."
"Diners are packed into this Mexican-Cuban spot, but so is the pork in its famous sandwich, and that's why people come here. The restaurant itself is not much to look at, but don't judge until you sink your teeth past that crunchy exterior and into layers of pork and pickles."
"Must-have grilled corn, addicting Cuban sandwiches and strong margaritas are highlights on the tasty, affordable menu at these buzzy Cuban-Mexican kitchens with sister to-go outlets."
"The classic Cuban sandwich is also a winner."
"A Nolita Outpost of True Latin Flavor: The Baja fish tacos and camarones al ajillo are also winners."
"Try their famous grilled Mexican corn, a cob of creamy kernels bonded together with zesty chili powder, lime, and cojita cheese. Delicious!"
"Fire-roasted, sprinkled with chili powder and cotija cheese, and brightened with a squeeze of lime, the Mexican-style grilled cobs are creamy, crunchy and a riot of flavor."
"At Cafe Habana, we're talking pork, pork and more pork. Cafe Habana's Cuban sandwich, which includes both pork and ham, was voted the Best in NYC. It's spicy and smoky."
"Maybe they should rename it “Crack Corn” for its addictive properties. It’s the kind of thing foodie dreams are made of."
"Grilled corn on the cob is good, but smothered in a creamy mayonnaise concoction and sprinkled with spicy chili pepper, salty Cotija cheese, and a squirt of lime, it’s amazing. Walking by Cafe Habana in the summertime, it’s hard not to stop in for some elote."
