Love this place! The Paella was pretty good.
The guava pastry was incredible, and love their Cuban coffee! The Cuban sandwich was decent, the bread on the sandwich was unique.
The staff here are very friendly and the interior & atmosphere is beautiful.
I'm definitely coming back here!

The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making me feel welcomed and comfortable throughout my dining experience.

The decor and ambiance perfectly captured the essence of Havana, creating a delightful setting for a memorable meal. Whether you're a fan of Cuban cuisine or looking to try something new, the Havana Grill is a must-visit.

Nice Cuban eatery with wine, desserts and cuban plates and sandwich selection. We had 1/2
Chicken with cuban rice, picodillo and pork plate. Service fast average plate runs $18 so for for 4 people with drinks it will set you back $100 so it is pricey.

Pretty much a decent restaurant with a lot of offerings which might cater to most people. Purchased the Hot Cuban sandwich, which was not hot at all even with the addition of jalapeños. Tasted nice but the meat was a little dry. The fries I ordered in addition to the sandwich tasted nice but were just a tad soggy. The highlight wears the Cafe Cubano which tasted great. The service was nice.

Looking at it from the street, you wouldn’t imagine such amazing food. It looks like a little strip mall eatery, but looks can be deceiving. The food is hot, fresh, and delicious! I want to try everything on the menu, but I keep going back to the Sampler Plate and Ropas Viejas. Make sure you get extra buttery garlic sauce and don’t forget to order dessert (mmmm…mango tart!)

I happened on this place on google maps and thought this would be ok to eat before my flight. I got the cubano sandwich and my wife got the lechon. My photo is an indication of how the food was.
It was great! My wife told me to try the beans… bro BEST black beans I’ve ever had. It is my personal opinion but I wish this place was back home.
This restaurant is definitely on my list when I am in the area. 💯 recommend if you like Cuban food

Excellent authentic Cuban food. Loved the chicken and rice. The sweet plantains were really great. Yuca fries tasted very good. Also got the vegetarian platter. The mojito pitcher was a bit too sweet though but maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be.

If you are a (South FL) Cuban American, you will probably not love this place. But if you're American who occasionally eats Cuban food, you will truly enjoy this experience. They did a wonderful job with the atmosphere and the service. The price point is a little steep but I understand the cost of running a restaurant so it's understandable.

AMAZING!! Wow! The service, food, cocktails and ambiance are top notch! We had full service at the bar and really enjoyed chatting with our mixologist Catalina and really enjoyed the refreshing cocktails she made! I highly recommend the Cubano, the beef, lechon and been empanadas. SO delicious and full of flavor. Prices are also very reasonable which we loved too! Can’t wait to come back. Thank you Havana Grill 😁❤️

It is an absolute must-visit!!! I've been going to this place since 2019. Better than the Cuban restaurants I'm used to in Miami. The veggie platter is a Vegan dream. I will keep going back, and they are so accommodating for big parties. I take all of my friends and family to visit me there

Very nice place, it has indoor and outdoor seating areas, a good amount of tables that can accommodate groups of 4 or more, beautiful menu with fresh examples behind a glass counter top so you can see actual sizes and what is what.
Staff were all friendly and helpful, food came up pretty quickly and had a beautiful presentation.
We tried the Ropa Vieja and Picadillo plates, with Empanada and Papa Rellena side -both were filled with the picadillo, and Plantain Chips (so good!),
One thing to keepin mind, parking can be a little difficult, especially at lunch time! Tried going here 3x before and couldn't find street or lot parking, was very happy we got there early and found a spot!

Lovely place! Took our friend out for dinner on his birthday and everything was great! Yuca fries were the crowd favourite. The manager also so sweet since she brought a dessert for our friend. We tried many different dishes and they were also tasty. The portion sizes were good too!

Havana Grill is a great Cuban restaurant in Clairemont Mesa on Clairemont Mesa Blvd. You order at the counter and the staff brings the food out to your table. Staff was extremely friendly and efficient, provided food recommendations, and cleaned up the table promptly. We ordered a variety of dishes including pork and chicken and they were all excellent.
We enjoyed Havana Grill so much we came again and had another excellent meal. The Arroz con Pollo and El Cubano were fantastic. The cashier Coran (SP?) was the same person who took our order the last time and he was excellent! He provided recommendations, was patient, was friendly, and extremely efficient.

Had lunch at Havana Grill with coworkers. The people at the restaurant were very friendly. I tried the Lechon plate with brown rice. It came with a small salad, plantaines, and a bowl of beans. The lechon was cooked to perfection and tasted very good. The plantaines and beans were very tasty. We also bought a pitcher of their sangria, and it was very refreshing. Overall, the food was great, and the people their were very friendly! Can't wait to co.e back and try their other dishes, including the Salmon plate.

We search out Cuban restaurants in cities all over the Americas. This was absolutely one of the best food quality and taste places we have been. Service was super friendly but the food takes awhile. Makes sense because when you do it right, it takes time, but the wait was so worth it. Highly recommend and we will be back many times!
Ana Brik
Decided to try this place at the last minute... hubby felt like a a Cuban sandwich ... so glad we did! The food was authentic and I know my Cuban food being I'm half Cuban. I had the picadillo and fried yuca absolutely Dlish! Ended our meal with cortadito (which was the best I've ever had) and a flan. We will defiantly be going back for another great meal.
Elba Pritchard
I'd give them 5 stars if they had a fresh seafood plate. Better than Gloria Estafan's in Florida. Food was delicious n plentiful at a reasonable price. Waitress Sylvia was pleasantly patient in answering all our questions. Would definitely recommend to family n friends

Service is bad.. food too pricey with poor flavor.
Embarrassed to call Cuban food...
Worst food I ever taste
Robin Held
I LOVE THIS PLACE!! This is the best Cuban food I have ever had by far! The empanada was delicious and the Lechon was the best pork I have ever had, so flavorful and juicy! I highly recommend it.
Eric Valance
If your ever in San Diego and need your Cuban fix this place is your savior! We where just in FL and was scared to try a Cuban Restaurant there because Havana Grill has set the bar so high!
This place is now my Favorite Restaurant in San Diego!
