Havana Grill is great! It’s the perfect place to sit in for a meal or to grab take-out quickly on your way home. I highly recommend The Classic or Cuban American sandwiches, the Fricasé de Pollo, and the empanadas!

I wish I could leave different reviews for different aspects of the business. The food is truly spectacular, as it's always been. But they've recently gutted the location itself of its charm. Used to have a cozy, semi-ecclectic feel bordering on bohemian that made me feel very comfortable when dining in. Now, however, they've removed most of the decorations and everything feels so... bland. It's almost oppressively minimalistic now compared to what it was before. Every place that I've seen remodeled lately has followed a similar trend, re-emerging as something less than it was previously. It always bothers me when things are made worse than they were before. I just really liked this place in the past, and now I've got no incentive to stay in the restaurant to eat after I've ordered my food.
This place was really good!!! Their Cuban sandwich was so delicious!! And the best part, they have gluten free bread 😍😍😍 I have a gluten intolerance, so them having that option was such a pleasant surprise!!! The flavors were so nice. I've never had this cuisine in San Diego, only in NYC. Delicious. I'll go back for sure 😊
Yalls lost a customer with the new set up. Took away the fountain drinks. Now we have to pay more with the bottle and can soft drinks. That's all it take to ruin what you had good going on. Pay more pay more pay more....is all we ever do nowadays....pay more for everything. Thanks!!
This was one of our favorites and maintained quality and great taste since it opened.
This time, however, the food was not good. The chicken fricasse was tasteless. Too much water and too few tomatoes. The congris was dry and not as hearty as in the past and even the grilled were too that great.
Hoping this is a one time thing, as this has been such a joy to dine in.
The server was very nice and offered another main dish to go.
