A friend had been recommending this place near Convoy area and finally got a chance to go. Decent parking lot right in front although they can get full during dinner times and weekends since there are three restaurants in the plaza. You order at the register and food is brought out to your table at Havana. Menu is displayed well and service is quick and friendly. My one downside is they are pretty busy and staff moves quickly, but couldn’t keep up with busting tables after people had left so loud off tables just had dirty plates on them for a while. Other than that the place is A+. I got the Arroz Con Pollo and the rice was a Game changer. Chicken was just ok but the rice and the sweet plantains were really good. My wife got the Havana chicken sandwich and it was so great. The chicken on the sandwich was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the bread was really fresh. They have sweetened espresso drinks as well. Got the cortadito style Cuban coffee. Was really tasty. Got it with Oatmilk. I will defiantly be back to try more of their tasty sandwiches and the roasted pork dish as well.

Good place to go if you’re craving Caribbean food. As an islander, the ropa vieja was well seasoned and hit the spot.

This was a great first experience. Havana Grill has authentic and delicious Cuban food as well as excellent customer service. We will definitely visit again when we are back in the states.
Absolutely, here's a review for Havana Grill, a Cuban food restaurant in San Diego:Havana Grill is a culinary oasis that transports you to the vibrant streets of Cuba right in the heart of San Diego. My recent dining experience at this charming restaurant left me thoroughly impressed, from the warm ambiance to the tantalizing flavors of authentic Cuban cuisine.Let's start with the food, which was nothing short of exceptional. The menu boasts a delightful array of Cuban specialties, and each dish is a celebration of bold flavors and traditional cooking techniques. The Ropa Vieja, a classic Cuban shredded beef stew, was a standout dish with its tender meat and savory sauce that had me scraping the plate for every last bit. The Cubano sandwich was another highlight, perfectly pressed with layers of ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard, creating a symphony of flavors in every bite.The atmosphere at Havana Grill is cozy and inviting, with colorful decor and lively music that sets the mood for a memorable dining experience. Whether you're seated indoors or at their charming outdoor patio, you're sure to feel the warmth and hospitality that defines Cuban culture.I also appreciated the excellent service provided by the staff. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. The attention to detail and genuine friendliness of the staff added to the overall positive impression of Havana Grill.For vegetarians, Havana Grill offers a fantastic selection of meat-free options that don't compromise on flavor. From hearty black bean soups to flavorful plantain dishes and delicious vegetable empanadas, there's something to satisfy every vegetarian palate.In conclusion, Havana Grill is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Cuban cuisine in San Diego. With its delicious food, inviting atmosphere, and excellent service, it's a gem that captures the essence of Cuba's culinary heritage. I can't wait to return and indulge in more of their delectable offerings.
Pollo plate way too big... the dry chicken breast should be excluded, but the chicken leg was really good. Lechon plate wasn't enjoyable for me due to how dry the meat was. Other than that plantain, sauce that came with the plates and papa rellena were a great addition.
