Havana GrillB

5450 Clairemont Mesa Blvd Suite G, San Diego, CA 92117 · Cuban restaurant, Caribbean restaurant, Caterer · San Diego

Lively counter-service Cuban spot with standout sandwiches, plantains, and solid plates; value is fair-to-good with some fees to note and occasional consistency hiccups.

Why this grade

Havana Grill delivers solid neighborhood Cuban dining with strong food quality anchored by excellent pressed Cubanos, plantains, and black beans, supported by warm, attentive service. However, inconsistent execution on paella and occasional dryness in proteins, combined with recent operational shifts and reported surcharges, prevents the restaurant from reaching higher performance tiers. The lively casual atmosphere and family-friendly setup make it a reliable choice for authentic Cuban fare, though not a destination establishment.

One caveat: Some diners report packaging/handling and employee health surcharges; signage may be easy to miss
