Havana Grill


Havana, a Pan Latin Grill and Mojito Bar, replaced Mambo Grill around the corner from where I work on Clark Street. Upgrade! Havana really transformed the space from dark and dingy to modern and airy. The service was excellent and the food and drinks were superb.

I figured out what to order in about a minute...and so did my boyfriend. The Carnitas with jalapeno mashed potatoes and creamed corn was a must. The plating was contemporary yet useful since I planned to mix all the flavors together for each bite. If I had a bigger stomach I would have licked my plate clean. The meat was tender and the corn sweet...my only complaint is that I couldn't taste the jalapeno in the mashed potatoes. The dish could have used just a little bite.

To complement our meals, we ordered a pitcher of the traditional mojito which was good...great when we realized it was a half price drink special on Friday nights.
