Tucked away in a tiny nondescript San Diego strip mall, Havana brings to life its exterior facade with luscious tropical plants and outdoor cafe style seating which immediately take you to a different world. The interior decor lends a hint to how good the food will be. It s got a nice modern style with a Cuban flair, impeccably clean and very well arranged. It s hard to make a decision on what to eat with their beautiful delicacies out on display at the front register. The restaurant is an upscale diner that uses an order-at-the-counter method (with a server bringing you your food after placing your order). The food is divine. The El Cubano is the best Cuban sandwich I ve had outside of Miami. Save room for dessert though; their flan was delicious but the arroz con leche was where the desert menu shines. It was absolutely breathtaking! My only regret was not trying their tostones (but there s no doubt they will be devoured on the next trip).
