Casa Havana Cuban Grill Review

Will def be back!!! Food was amazing and service was great! It took a little while to get our food but there was a rush at 2:30... You know the food is good if there is a rush mid afternoon!

Excellent food, good service. Clean and great atmosphere

Great food, excellent customer service. If you want to try some quality Cuban food, this is the place to go. Highly recommend it!

What a wonderful place. The wonderful lady behind the counter helped me through as I have never been here and am unfamiliar with Cuban cuisine. The food was excellent, and had generous portions! The owner came and said hello, and his son (I think it may have been his son) checked on me. Super friendly people, great food. They all great one another with a kiss on the cheek, I live in Chicago, and I'll still be back!!

A bit expensive for a restuarant without waiters or waitresses. Stand in line to order $12-20 items and possibly some sides, then take your number to your table. Here you'll find nice thick paper napkins and flatware a large plastic cylinder waiting for you while you wait for your food. Two kinds of craft beer were available as well as some bottled beer. Some backed Cuban There also were a couple tables outside if al fresco is more your style. I had the El Cubano sandwich and wasn't terribly impressed.

Good food, price averages $15 to $25 per person (item plus drink)

Always a pleasure to visit Havana Grill. The combination of food and drink never disappoints. Last visit was with out of town guests and we weren't hurried out the door even though we sat and chatted to catch up. Very laid back attitude by the staff. Clean and upscale. Buen provecho!

Best Cuban food i have had since we left miami. My husband loves coming here when we feel home sick. Service is great, music is awesome and food is on point. highly recommend going!!!

I got the vegetarian plate, and it was delicious! It was more food than I expected, so I ll skip dessert next time. I hear that the cubano and the guava & cream cheese pastry are also very good.

This Food Is Terrific Nothing Like Cubans Food .you Cant put The Titanic Sing ,I Never Back Again ,Tha Food Is Like Andres patio on morena Blvd ,san diego ,You Wan Eat Good Cubans Food .Go To Los Pollos ,In Chula Vista o Brazilian Food ,Rei Dogado in Downton San Diego ,This Is Real Cubans Food.Thanks

A hidden find with great food and a caring staff who are eager to help explain the various dishes.

The food & service is excellent. We will return to eat again!

Very nice ambient environment and large choice of food. Taste is not bad we love the sampler plate.

Had the El Cubano, very good. My wife had the Pollo plate and we split an empanada. Everything was excellent, we plan on coming again.

For the area, the parking lot is pretty large. You order at the counter, pick up a number and grab a table. The restaurant itself is clean and modern feeling, well decorated.

Delicious! Service was excellent, very friendly. Happy this is in my neighborhood!

Food here is pure artistry. I had the Cubano and came with plantain chips. Pork was fabulous of the other dishes that I saw your amazing in the presentation. Other customers have the empanadas. They looked really . Prices run from 9 to $15

warm atmosphere, easy to order, the owner walks around the tables talking to clients.

Authentic, everything is delicious. As good as Miami Beach.

Have never been to Cuba( couldn't go) or even south Florida, but this appears to be a suitable choice. I went back as well as forth with the celebrity ranking as I feel it is a 3.5. Spouse and also I have been a couple of times and it was a primarily good experience each time, that left me wanting to go back and attempt more.

This place is awesome... Met the owner and she was so personable, friendly, and accommodating... The food was the best ever... Large groups should call ahead... One of the best restaurants in the county...

Always a good time, a little bit of florida and south beach everytime in there!

Great spot.

The place has a welcoming, open and airy fee. The menu is excellent with great options to goose from (counter service).

The food is excellent, deep rich flavours. I got the pork plate and it was awesome. Tender pork with rice beans and plantain.

Service was prompt and friendly.

Over all great experience

To he food was great. The rice and beans disk was the best.

My favorite Cuban restaurant ever! We visit at least once every two weeks with the whole family!

One of my favorite places for quality cuban food. super place to meet and chat with coworkers. the staff was very helpful and welcoming. the place has a cool atmosphere. they have a lot of great reviews for a reason.

I had a great lunch with my friend and and recommend anyone with a hankering for Cuban food check out this great restaurant. Order at the counter and the food is quickly delivered to your table. Some decent wines available by the cup. Great Cuban coffee! The pastries are super authentic. In order flan or rice pudding for dessert. I really enjoyed the meal very much. Nice casual well decorated dining area.

Food is good, clean location, and very good customer service

Great location for tasty Cuban food. Visited Sat afternoon. Service treated us so kindly.

cuban food... super satisfying. staff is always nice even when they have a full house. nothing but great experiences here. the place has a great atmosphere.

Best Cuban place in All SD. By far the most authentic. The atmosphere makes this place even better. I highly recommend this place to grab a bite to eat.

Really amazing Cuban food and had a great mojito too!

Great food! Server had an easy understanding of our order after a few changes, food was delicious and the decor is nice. We loved the Vaca Frita!

Great food. Try everything. You won't be disappointed. Save room for dessert.

I felt like I took a night to be in Cuba. It was an awesome experience.

Customer service is good and friendly. Food freshly made. Love the oxtail stew and the Chris's Chicken Special. Soda Fountain is a plus.

The food is AMAZING!! If you want a piece of Cuba, this is the place to go.

The philo dough pastries filled with, what I think was, an apricot jam and cream cheese. It had a sweet and savory tasted that is just right! It is hard to eat just one! Also, the tractor cola is phenomenal! The best soda that I have ever drank. There are unique combinations like pomegranate and tumeric which doesn't sound good then it turns out to be fantastic. Reading the labels of strange combinations then be pleasantly suprised is part of the fun.

I am not a fan of Cuban food but this was fairly good. The rest of my family liked it so I know it is just my flavor preference. Their homemade chips were very good.

Excellent value and good friendly service - well seasoned and quality 1/2 chicken, and roasted pork. We're coming back next week!!

Delicious food, friendly staff. Lots of interesting menu choices.

Amazing portion sizes! I paid $18 for my meal. As a big guy, my plate was the first picture. By the end of it, I was completely satiated. I ordered steak with shrimp. They could have added maybe a little more shrimp, but everything else made up for that. The butter sauce was a great addition. Since I had some left over from the shrimp, I poured it over everything else to get more flavor. The sweet potatoes were amazingly crispy. Think of tempera from asian restaurant. I would recommend.

This place has it all; great food, great service, & a great environment!

Great authentic Cuban food. Small cozy little restaurant with very helpful staff. Great atmosphere.

Absolutely fantastic eating experience.
Thank you Sandra and the whole team
bravo well done !

This place has phenomenal service. When you walk in you think you've been transported to a Cuban cafe in Miami. They have the go to menu items. If you don't know where to start Sylvia will listen to your thoughts and make a spot on recommendation. I had just started a keto diet when I walked in, bad for Cuban food. I told her what I was after and she made me a massive salad with olive oil dressing and a side of amazing black beans. It was awesome. Go here!

Fresh food. Had the El Cubano and it was outstanding. Daughter had the roasted pollo and could not finish it all. Lots of food and reasonably priced. A true hidden gem.

Pricey, but the food is nice. The yuca fries and maduros are fantastic. The spicy pork sandwich is better than the lechon (pork) plate: larger portion, softer more flavourful meat, soft bread matches well.

Delicious & fast. Order of black beans a bit small; next time I'll order two. Worth it. Platano maduros were excellent. Good customer service & nice atmosphere. I live in northern Nevada & miss Cuban food!

Delicious and friendly. Everything is cooked to order so make sure you have time to spend enjoying the music and mojitos

This place reminds me of growing up in Florida. The prices are a little high but we are in San Diego so its expected. Nevertheless it was awesome super clean and a really good atmosphere.

The best Cuban can't wait till they open in North County

Very good food. Only criticism is the soda fountain. For me, undrinkable sodas no matter which flavor. Hostess gave us bottles of Coke. No diet coke. Staff is really nice. I'll definitely return regularly, jjust bring my own diet coke...

Best kept secret in San Diego. Authentic cuban food, just the way grandma used to make it back in Havana. Both the atmosphere and the friendly service at Havana Grill will leave an everlasting feeling of delight on anyone visiting.

Great family run business and Silvia is an awesome person

I had the Vaca frita steak which had such a marvelous subtle flavor and was fork tender. There was this amazing sort of dark rice with some soft beans which was so unique and tasty. The plantains were the best I have ever had. I go to the Caribbean every year, and I have yet to truly enjoy plantains until this restaurant.

Favorite Cuban restaurant in San Diego!! Went there from a recommendation from a friend and was pleasantly surprised! Great food! Great staff!!! Already been recommending them to other people!

First visit last week. Cant waitfor the next visit. Great portions and tasty.

Great food, missed this place while were away. Most of the menu if gluten free.

Went here today for the first time. The food was fantastic. We had the classic cuban sandwich and Papas Revellana. Both were beyond what I had expected.

Great ambiance, good vibe, great music and great food

Fantastic food! Black beans incredible! We loved everything!

Great portions and very authentic cuban food. Friendly staff and great service. This is a gem hidden in Clairemont Mesa.

The Classic Sandwich is so very good! Comes with plantain chips. I also tried their flan, which was very good too! Can't wait to come back!

Great quality of food and good ambiance. Try the Cuban sandwich, the ropa vieja is also good

Well to start off the salsa greets you and this Puerto Rican loves some salsa. The establishment was not typical that I know of Cuban restaurants but it still had some carribean flair to me with the seating up to the hats the attendants wore. Spacious and very clean and organized. The attendants were great. They were very attentive. The menu is varied and they have quite the selection of drinks/beverages. I had The Hemingway and that shrimp, steak, rice, roasted vegetables and chimichurri were da bomb! The tostones with mojo also were flavorful.

It is my understanding that both tbe chef and owner are Cuban which makes it more authetic. Well it does to me. Unfortunately, I didn't have the coffee and my dessert (flan) I took to go along with an empanada and some macarons. I expect it to be just as delicious or better than my meal. Otherwise I'll post it here.

Am I coming back? Ya doggone right I am!

Excellent service. They will explain the menu to you if you them to. The alcohol drinks are great, I recommend Cuba libre if you like coke and rum, a little surprise that it is stiff!
