Hecho en Casa is a gem. It was our favorite meal of our trip. Chef Alina was so gracious and hospitable, explaining the different dishes to us. We asked her to cook whatever she would recommend for us and every single dish was perfect and delicious. We were traveling with young kids -- everything was so palatable for them and she made them a special mango drink which they still talk about! The mojito was the best we had in Havana. The service and ambience was wonderful as well.

The experience I have had each time at "Hecho en Casa" can't be found in many other places. This is definitely the best spot. Great food, great environment, and great attention and those are just some of the qualities which make it a go-to spot when visiting Havana.

We went 6 times during our 2 week stay in Miramar. It was the best food of any of the places in visited all over Havana. It is a short walk from the International School and several embassies. The chef, Alina, came out and explained every dish she served to our group. She paid special attention to my gluten and dairy sensitivities and served me something different when necessary. She also adjusted the meal for one of our vegetarian guests. The waiters are very friendly and accommodating.
We learned that she declined the opportunity to serve Prince Charles during our stay because of prior reservations. She told us that "my guests are my royalty". This deep passion on her part comes through in her cooking every time!!

Last year we were thrilled to get to know Hecho en Casa and Chef Alina during our 2 week trip to Miramar as Global Volunteers. This year she greeted us like family and treated us like royalty. We dined with her 5 times during our two week stay and each time she amazed us with her passion for Cuba and for cooking. She accommodated our large group with flexibility and taught our "youth corps" how make mojitos.
Do not miss the gem and this wonderful team at Hecho en Casa
We are already looking forward to next year!

The chef came out to explain some of the dishes. Very nicely seasoned dips for warm fresh bread, pumpkin soup, entree of meat and rice. Healthy, creative, different,
with excellent service.
