Paladares + Budget Friendly
If you want to eat like a local, start with Havana’s 'paladares'. These family-run establishments serve hearty Cuban meals at unbeatable prices. My top picks are Teniente Rey 360 and Donde Adrián.
Looking for a bit more variety? At El Chanchullero or Adastra, you’ll find affordable meals in a more private setting, with prices ranging from $5 to $15.
