You can’t help but excited when you come across a restaurant that offers flavorful food at reasonable prices – that is exactly what Havana Road is!
This small and cozy restaurant is situated on Pennsylvania Avenue in Towson serves only traditional Cuban fare. The small dining space welcomes you with warm, earthy colors with glowing lights overhead, vintage photos decorating the wall and in cigar boxes on the tables.
The menu maybe limited, however, but what it does offer is done well with using all-natural, wholesome ingredients, with every recipe. The entrees are served with tasty portions of black beans and rice.
The first thing that may catch your eye to start with is the Bayamo Dip Trio ($6) with Pepino (creamy cucumber dip), Cuban Salsa, and Mojo Sauce (made with garlic, olive oil and a citrus juice) served with Pan Cubano (Cuban bread).
You will want to save room for the Santa Clara Lechon Asado ($13) with slow roasted Cuban pork, braised in white wine for hours and traditional Cuban Mojo. The pork was tender to the point where it melted in your mouth, plus the mojo was full of flavor.
If you are in the mood for beef try the Santiago Ropa Vieja ($13.50) that is tenderbrisket, braised, pulled into "ropes" and simmered in white wine, tomato sauce, garlic, and Cuban spices. The brisket was cooked nicely and the spices and garlic mingle nicely on your tongue.
The highlight of the evening was the Bayamo Dip Trio, Santa Clara Lechon Asado and the Platanos Maduros (Sweet Plantains), but I have an eye on the Holguin Pulled Pork ($8.50), which is Cuban pulled pork with their Mojo Barbecue Sauce and the Miami Coconut Flan ($6) for my next visit. The service was attentive and helpful with any question you may have.
Havana Road does not have a liquor license but you can bring your own liquor and add it to one of their mixers- Mojito, Sangria or Margarita (Glass 2.50 and Pitcher 9.00).
