We recently discussed a beautiful beach vacation you can take without having to leave the state. Another way to enjoy Caribbean vibes in Arkansas is by heading to the Havana Tropical Grill. The authentic Cuban cuisine and the party atmosphere will make you feel like you’re miles away. Let’s stop in for a much-needed getaway at this delicious grill.

Arkansas may not be close to the ocean but you can still have a scrumptious island-themed meal.

Google/Rob Hey Havana Tropical Grill is working on its tenth year of business! The Grill has routinely won awards since its opening year, from NWA Travel Guide for Best Restaurant to even national recognition on Travel Noire’s “Where To Find The Best Caribbean Food In Each State.” Have a taste for yourself at the newer downtown location at 203 N 2nd St., Rogers, AR 72756.

Your first bite of an appetizer will instantly transport you to an island retreat.

Facebook/Havana Tropical Grill The beef Empanadas are ridiculously savory but the Croquetas and Yuca con Mojo are hard to resist as well. Thankfully you can have all three (and two types of fried plantains) if you order the Cuban Sampler.

Every meal looks like a Cuban-inspired work of art. You’ll want to take a picture of whatever you order since that artwork won’t last long!

Facebook/Havana Tropical Grill It’s impossible to highlight just one entree. The Ropa Vieja (pictured) is unbelievable flavorful but the slow roasted Lechon Asado will pull you into pork-infused heaven. We really can’t compliment their Cuban sandwiches enough, either! You’ll definitely be coming back to work your way down this tasty menu.

Their Sweet Plantains will be the perfect finish to a scrumptious meal!

Facebook/Havana Tropical Grill Have a slice of Tres Leche Cake or Flan after a filling meal or just sip on a small cup of Cuban coffee.

You’ll come in for lunch but stay for the tropical party atmosphere.

Facebook/Havana Tropical Grill Elements like their live music, occasional dance nights, and delicious food all come together to make Havana Tropical Grill a lovely Cuban-themed mini getaway. Join them for lunch or dinner (or just come in for a mojito!) any day of the week. For more mouthwatering menu pictures and full hours, follow their Facebook Page or visit their website.
