Going down Fort Greene in Brooklyn lies a mouthwatering Mexican and Cuban Restaurant. Habana Outpost, coated in a neon lime green. Immediately when you walk the interior is gorgeous. Brick lined walls covered in bright graffiti art. There was two options for seating to choose between. The first was picnic benches outside (which was definitely a no go in late October) and the booths inside. The ordering system is a bit intriguing. You order your food inside but then go to the back of the restaurant to pick up your meal from what seems to be a food truck. My videos don’t show any wheels but some photos from the web clearly show a food truck.
Now while I don’t remember exactly what I ordered, I do know I tore that food up. In a time of “let’s get crab legs” or only having burgers left, right and center, Habana Outpost was a breath of fresh air. Based on my old photos and the menu I somehow saved, I’d wager a guess that I ordered a grilled chicken breast bowl served with rice & beans, field greens, pico de gallo, salsa verde, sweet plantains, a side of chips & salsa and a frozen piña colada. All this for a little over $20. Of course it didn’t include the drink because you know everywhere charges you a pinky for it.
As of writing this post, Habana Outpost on Fulton is closed for the season and will return in April.
