HAVANNA CAFE – Spanish
Out on Smallwood Drive at the end of the road in Chokoloskee, HavAnnA Cafe has served what it calls Cuban Cracker cuisine since 2004 — Havana by way of the Everglades. Breakfast brings Dana's Rena, spicy chorizo with refried beans, fried eggs and fresh sofrito, plus a steak-and-egg sandwich on house-baked Cuban bread. Later the board turns coastal: Gulf peel-and-eat shrimp with Cuban toast, raw oysters on the half shell, shrimp criollo, the Cuban sandwich. Live music most weeks, portions built for sharing, and a homemade hot sauce worth asking about.
