Radio Habana Social Club Review

Radio Habana Social Club is a small but busy social club that happens to offer food and sangria. This place is full of Spanish speakers, from the charismatic owner who mingles with the customers, to the mellow waitress, who despite working alone, taking orders, heating up food and serving every table, seems to have all the time in the world to chat away with you. Many of the other patrons were also speaking Spanish or a mixture of Spanish and English.
The decoration is, well, unique! You could spend the entire evening looking at all the images, trinkets and oddities on display. Some very authentic and others just plain interesting.
The food, which was reasonably priced, is pre-prepared and heated (when needed) on the spot in a minute little kitchen. Don't be put off by this though, as their food is very authentic, made by local Mexicans and Salvadoreans. It won't blow your mind but it will be enough to tide you over and allow you to focus on what you are there to do: Socialize :)
The drinks list is limited: beer, sangria and coffee and some other non-alcoholic beverages but for such a small place, the focus is definitely on the atmosphere. This is a place to enjoy in small groups, with great music that is not so loud to limit conversation. If you are lucky you might show up for an impromptu musical performance!

This definitely deserves 3 pomegranates:
