This review is for Parilla! (Havana’s outdoor sister restaurant right next door). Holy. Shit. Skip the tourist traps this place is the real deal. Be prepared for a little wait with you meal because they take extra safety steps to cook your meal separately as needed for celiacs. Boy was it worth the wait. We had the elotes, half a dozen oysters that came with house made poblano cocktail sauce, classic mignonette, and a lemon curd- amazing. Then the farm fresh salad, the mixed grill plate… but the best part was my half baked chicken!!!!!!!!! I ended up going to the chef to tell him directly how the chicken changed my life. I ate every single morsel. They play around a lot with spices and are above par with flavor profiles- lots of allspice notes, crispy skin, moist bird, a cilantro dipping sauce for the potatoes, and a small cup of salsa. I will be dreaming of this meal until we return next summer. Drinks are on point, it is a wine bar so there are fantastic options.*edit tried to eat here tonight and they wouldn’t serve me. Said they got new chefs and a new grille and I couldn’t eat a thing and told me to leave.
