WHERE: Cafe Habana, Malibu, CA
Charlotte (my 8 year old foodie) and I went to Cafe Habana in Malibu on Saturday, for a girl’s lunch with one of our besties, Corie… it was perfect weather, great service and pretty good food.

MOTHER SAYS:
The chips at Cafe Habana are always only average and the salsa a little too runny and burnt tasting for me, but Charlotte likes it — especially if we order the guacamole, which too is very mediocre. I usually skip the chips and order fries, wine and a salad.
The salads are yum…very fresh. I ordered the Raw Vegetable Salad with chopped carrots, green beans, corn and their house dressing with manchego cheese. it is pretty good. This chopped salad is fine and good, but I have had better. I was originally served the malibu wine which I gladly exchanged for the Chateau St Michelle, which was much better!! The fries are perfect! When in doubt stick to fries and wine.
DAUGHTER SAYS:
I have chips and salsa, it is good. I ordered a pork taco with avocado but nothing else. the chips and salsa are a little bit spicy but good and yummy. I don’t like the cheese on the tacos, so we take it off. The pork was good. I was not interested in anything on the kids menu. The lime was good. The rice and beans were good, and the lemonade was good. The waitress is good, she let’s us sit outside. I went with my mom and Corie, but Corie did not write because she was just our guest. This job was fun for the first time. It was our first time ever, I thought it was super fun. The end.
If Charlotte likes something, she thoroughly enjoys every bite, she is a true foodie… She ate only half of one taco… I am sure these tacos would be much better with the pico de gallo and all the trimmings. You will have to be the judge.
Corie ordered the fish tacos and thought they were as good as they get, with a delicious sauce and array of fresh vegetables and pleasantly seasoned fish. I have heard from many others that the fish tacos are mouth-watering, the best item on the menu. I think next time I will have to try.
