Looking for a specific Cuban Restaurant in Detroit area
June 20, 2013 9:22 AM   Subscribe

If my memory serves me (it often does not), awhile ago I went to a Cuban restaurant in the suburbs of Detroit (probably north) that I'd like to find again. I remember that it was small (seating-wise), non-chain, not very fancy, off a very small (residential?) street and the food was great; I think the interior was yellow and there was writing on the walls everywhere. It was popular and full when I was there last. I've done by due diligence with google and yelp but haven't found it there; I don't think it's Vincente's (downtown) or El Guanaco (Troy); any ideas? I'm open to suggestions in the area if you don't know the specific restaurant. Thanks!

Could it have been Café Habana in Royal Oak? It was super tiny and on a side street in downtown. It closed this year and has become a specialty beer bar, but there is also one in Ann Arbor owned by the same people.

Response by poster: i don't think so, it was in a building that more closely resembles a house

Best answer: Found it, but not in Detroit. It's Victor's Cafe in Minneapolis and I had found it originally from Diner's DriveIns and Dives. Certainly worth going to - victors1959cafe.com
