Mexican Glass Coke Bottle
Brittany W.

Amazing. Stopped here with some coworkers after work and I can't say enough good praises. We went before the dinner rush and the service was immediate. The chips and salsa are SO good. I had looked at the menu previously, so I knew what I was going to get but honestly it was a tough choice because everything looked so good. Clearly authentic, wonderful flavors, chips made from scratch, kind and fast service. My buddy got the wet burrito and it was massive (he demolished the entire thing)! As with any small business, the tables and overall restaurant could be cleaner, but I'm okay with this as I've been to many dives in my day - the food outweighs the ambiance ten fold. This place is gold. I'll be back! *terminator voice*

Whole fried Red Snapper

Great Cuban/Mexican fusion menu. Had the whole fried red snapper- moist yet crispy. Black beans were tasty, as was the Cuban sandwich. Comfortable unassuming spot in a strip mall . We will be back!

I'm a big fan of Mexican food. Don't get me wrong, for what it is is basically the same six ingredients served to you in different vessels, and I'm totally down for that. I mean, isn't all food done the same way? Though I usually only get the same three things or so, it wouldn't stop me from frequenting Mexican restaurants 9 days out of the week. Now that we have my base line love for Mexican food established, let's delve into it. This restaurant had the typical Mexican flare. There was no mistake where you were. Being more Latin roots, it focused a lot of things around plantains, which I'm not a huge fan of. They just aren't my bag. We decided to give the potato and beef empanadas a shot as an appetizer. The same with sour cream and salsa, and you got three of them. Those were out of the park. Crunchy outside, perfect meat to potato ratio on the inside, and scooping up the sour cream and salsa with each bite *died and gone to heaven emoji*. They were well sized, too. 10/10. What I did like was the also served up their one made mild (green) and hot (red) sauces for your food. The green was perfect for the empanadas. A little tang, a little warmth, actual flavor. Loved it. The red let you know it was there. Good spice, enough spice to warrant monitoring how much you use. 10/10. My main however, seemed to fall a bit flat. I got the three ground beef american tacos with rice and beans. I made it through two and a half of them. They just didn't seem to have that oomph. The beef was not well seasoned and seemed more clumpy than usual. I did bite into a hard thing, but wasn't sure if it was a beef bone or cilantro bone. It wasn't a tooth, I checked. The sauces helped, but you shouldn't rely on your sauce to make a good taco. 6.5/10. One other thing that bothered me was the soda. It tasted like they jus poured from a two-liter. And after every refill, they never filled my ice back up. So after three drinks, there were four tiny floating ice cubes, then warm soda. 2/20.

Bandeja paisa
Jerika N.

I've been meaning to check out Havana Grill for some time now and finally got to with a friend before Tulip Time. It was a Saturday at 2pm and there was a line out the door almost the entire time we were there! Food was great - it was my first time trying tostones mixtos, which are sort of like tostones cups filled with 3 different proteins at this restaurant. The shrimp ones come with quite a bit of sauce, so I opted to try them first before they got soggy. The ropa vieja (named since the slowly cooked shredded beef resembles "old clothes") was really tasty! The piña colada wasn't my favorite, though. It took some time to get our main dish (the table next to us was halfway through theirs when we came in before them), so they may have forgotten about it since it was so busy...but the bandeja paisa had a ton of food (especially protein). Both of us took home leftovers. I think this is a great option for Cuban & Colombian food! Just be prepared to wait a bit when it's busy.

So good. First time stopping in. Food was amazing. Service was great. Prices are not bad at all. Good music. Definitely coming back with the wife.

Definitely would recommend this place for dinner or lunch. The ambience isn't fancy mind you, but great food. The day I was there, the owner was working the tables. I got the fajitas. Really good and filling. Food came to the table quickly too. Also, the prices don't break the bank. They also provided chips and salsa for the table with hot and mild sauces. I'll be back.

Carne Asada Tampiqueña
Kathryn L.

We had an event in downtown Holland on a Saturday night and were looking to enjoy a delicious and relaxing early dinner away from the downtown area. Based on the reviews of other Yelpers, we chose Havana Grill - and loved it. Our timing was great based on other diners' reviews because we were early enough so that there was no wait. The menu is very expansive and since it was our first visit, we explored it all. We ended up starting with a very generous order of Maduros con Crema (sweet fried plantains with a side of crema), which was delicious! The flavor and texture were perfect. For our entrees, we chose Vaca Frita (marinated shredded beef in lime, garlic, and onions, then seared until crispy, served with white rice, black beans, and platanos maduros) and Carne Asada Tampiqueña (tender flame-grilled steak served with two cheese enchiladas covered in green sauce served with fresh guacamole, Mexican-style rice, beans, & warm tortillas). Both dishes were excellent and the portions were generous enough that we took leftovers home for lunch the following day. Helpful tip: bring a cooler for those leftovers if you're not heading home right away, and our rookie mistake, the Vaca Frita includes fried plantains, meaning that the entree + our appetizer = many fried plantains. It was an excellent mistake, however. The owner (we assume) and the very sweet young woman who was our server (assumingly a family member) could not have been kinder and more welcoming. As I say in many of my Yelp reviews where we've really enjoyed the food and the experience, we will certainly be back.

First time here and it blew us away!! We got the Vaca Frita (#1) and Bistec Encebolla Mix (#7). Food was fresh, authentic, and full of flavor! Definitely will be coming back here soon!

Strip mall Location

I ordered a carryout california burrito at Havana Grill- steak, avocado, pico, crema and french fries. It was very good, a ton of steak and fries, redolent with avocado and swimming in pico de gallo. Finally Holland Michigan has produced a quality burrito. It wasnt inexpensive- 18.00 but it was worth it. I saw an order of plantains go by while i was picking up my order- i will definitely give those a try next time im there.

La Ventanita

La Ventanita is a long-term popup inside of the new AC Hotel downtown. The bar still looks the…read moresame, but the drinks and food are now Spanish and Latin-American inspired. My boyfriend and I stopped in to grab some snacks and since they're part of the downtown refreshment zone, we also got some drinks to go. The staff at the AC Hotel is incredibly professional, welcoming, and authentically kind. Our service was great while we were there. I love the varied cozy seating at this bar! We chose a high top at one of the large windows, which was great for people watching. They keep them open during warmer weather so we heard a lot of the hustle and bustle of downtown. We started with some recommended drinks from our bartender -- I ordered the pina colada milk punch on draft, and my boyfriend got the skeleton key. The pina colada milk punch was really refreshing! It's made with coconut water instead of coconut cream you find in a typical pina colada, and it has a little bubbliness to it while still being tropical. I really liked it and would definitely order it again. The skeleton key was really nice, too! It was a ginger beer drink that was also refreshing. The drinks were delicious but didn't taste too much like alcohol - could be a good thing or a bad thing! For my to-go drink, I got an aperol spritz, which was delicious! For food, we got the albondigas and manchego croquettes to share. The croquettes were deliciously creamy melted cheese and perfectly fried! The aioli dipping sauce was really tasty but not needed with the richness of the croquette. The croquettes came three to an order, so be aware of that if you're planning on sharing. The albondigas were flavorful and I really liked the tomato sauce. They could have been a little more tender, but I enjoyed eating them with the baguette. Overall, our experience at La Ventanita was definitely five stars, especially due to the superior service. I would go back to try more of the food--the Cuban style burger sounds really tasty!
