It's a 10!
OMG. This food truck is AMAZING.
We love all kinds a food and happen to love Cuban food. So when we saw the Habana 406 parked in downtown/old town Helena today, we decided to stop and check it out. I am so glad we did.
First of all, one of our all-time favorite Cuban dishes is Ropa Vieja and Habana 406's did not disappoint. In fact, it is the BEST we have ever had. We have had it in several places across the states including in some of the famous Cuban restaurants in Miami so I think we are a good judge of flavors here.
The meat was succulent, moist, tender and packed with incredible flavors that blew our socks off. I literally could just drink the meat juices. It's just that good. It came with some tasty "black beans and rice" and tostones. Incredible! You just have to try this delicious braised dish. And if you've never tried Cuban food, Ropa Viejo from Habana 406 is where you should first try this cuisine.
The hard part was only ordering the Ropa Viejo. We saw their Cuban Sandwiches and we wanted to try them too. We couldn't though because we were going out to dinner in 2 hours and needed to leave room for dinner. Oh, but I so wanted to order that sandwich. Maybe tomorrow....
The only downside to Habana 406 for us is that it is a 2.5 hour drive away from home. That said, we aren't opposed to driving a distance for a good meal. We also will put it on our short list of places to stop for a bite on road trips that take us through / near Helena.
In addition to the amazing food, the owners are delightful. You will see their genuine smiles and happy and appreciative attitudes when you frequent their food truck. This is old world Cuban cuisine at its best right here in Montana. Let's keep this food truck going.
