Vieja Havana Grill in Holland, MI

About us

The roots of Cuban cuisine stretch back to the indigenous Taíno people, who inhabited the island before Spanish colonization in the 15th century. The Taínos introduced staple ingredients like corn, black beans, and cassava, along with cooking methods such as roasting and grilling. However, the arrival of Spanish colonizers significantly influenced Cuban food. They brought ingredients like rice, pork, and olive oil, as well as techniques like frying and sautéing. This blend of indigenous and Spanish elements laid the foundation for the diverse culinary landscape we savor today.
