From the classic cars to the vibrant menu items to the drinks and music, you’ll think you are in Cuba. Come with your family, friends, or acquaintances, and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere of this tropical eatery.

If you can’t make it to the Caribbean, have no worries, just visit Havana Tropical Grill located in Rogers, Arkansas.

This family-owned restaurant has been serving up authentic Cuban cuisine since 2010, and has earned numerous recognition for having the best Caribbean food in town.

It opens at 11 a.m. every day except for Sunday when it opens at 12 p.m.

As soon as you enter the restaurant, you will be transported to a whole different world. The robust Cuban flavors will have your mouth watering.

Try the appetizer sampler with the empanadas, fried yuca, plantains, homemade sauces, and more.

After the appetizer, we recommend ordering one of the Cuban specialty dishes. The Taste of Cuba is a crowd favorite because it marries shredded pork, ground beef, and flank steak into one delectable dish.

But of course, you must also try the savory mofongo - mashed green plantains with garlic and pork. You can get it topped with shrimp, chicken, pork, and more. So yummy!

If you don’t eat meat, Havana Grill also has other options on the menu including fish and vegan meals. And all of them are just as savory and delicious.

No Cuban restaurant is complete without a delicious Cuban sandwich. And at Havana Grill, roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, garlic butter, and mustard are all pressed to make the perfect Cuban.

Besides the food, the best part about Havana Grill are the drinks!!! In fact, the restaurant has a full bar with over ten flavors of MOJITOS.

The restaurant also has rum flights, margaritas, as well as other specialty cocktails that will have you feeling good.

But don’t leave without trying one of the decadent desserts. While Flan is quintessentially Cuban, the Tres Leche holds its own. The vanilla cake soaked in three types of milk is to die for.

For more island vibes, you can enjoy dancing to spicy Latin music on Fridays and Saturday nights. The food, the music, the tropical decor, and the vintage cars outside, will make you forget that you are in Arkansas.

So, before the end of the summer, visit Havana Tropical Grill and enjoy the most authentic Cuban cuisine in the Ozarks. You’ll be transported to the streets of Havana for a few amazing hours.
