Casa Havana. On 8th between 19th and 20th. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Take-out and delivery. Inexpensive, with plenty of "recession" specials. Top of my menu: roast chicken with yellow rice and black beans, $9.75. NOT good the next day, however, so forget leftovers. Waitresses call you "baby." Ignore the paint-by-numbers perspective-less murals. Just reopened, underwent renovations for months, was afraid they wouldn't come back.
