Havana 33

Havana 33 brings authentic Cuban flavors to the heart of downtown Mooresville. The menu is a love letter to Havana — pressed sandwiches with perfectly melted Swiss, slow-roasted pork that falls apart on the fork, and plantains that are somehow both crispy and sweet.

The vibe is casual and colorful, with hand-painted murals and a patio that fills up fast on warm evenings. Don't skip the croquetas — they're legitimately the best within an hour's drive.
