The 50 best Cuban restaurants in Miami

A very charming diner in Miami Beach. We went there every day for breakfast. The staff is extremely friendly. You always get a glass of water and coffee with every order. The prices are more than fair. The food isn’t anything fancy – more on the classic side – but definitely tasty and filling. The atmosphere is very cool. Definitely a recommendation for any tourist.

Red Sea bass and fries. The best crispy fish I’ve had in a while. If you love fish and in the heart of downtown drop it. Our tour guide recommended it as well saying it’s as authentic as it comes

We’ve been to Puerto Sagua twice – once for breakfast and once for dinner – and both times were amazing! The restaurant serves classic Cuban food, and everything we tried was delicious. We especially recommend the Pollo Asado with arroz, frijoles, and plantains – juicy chicken, perfectly cooked rice and beans, and so much flavor. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel right at home. They’re happy if you speak Spanish – it’s a great place to practice – but you can just as easily speak English. The restaurant itself has a charming, old-fashioned look – it’s been around for over 50 years, and that’s exactly what gives it its warm, nostalgic atmosphere. You really feel comfortable there, like the world is still a little simpler and calmer. A truly authentic spot for anyone who loves real Cuban food in a cozy, welcoming setting! 🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🙌

This restaurant was recommended to us from a local because we wanted authentic Cuban food. We ordered fried grouper, empanadas, Cuban sandwich, sangria and Cuban coffee. All of that was REALLY good. The grouper came with the option of salad and fries and neither were good. It’s an old school diner atmosphere and seemed clean and well-kept. The service was uninviting and cold. The man who sat us didn’t smile, and didn’t welcome us; he just walked us to our seat and then walked away. Our primary waiter engaged with other patrons but was extremely short and cold with us. I overheard him refer to patrons at another table as his “hermanas” after asking and learning they were from a Latin country. After he visited with them, he looked at our table and walked away. He never came by to check on us. (I needed another napkin during my entire meal.) The only time he seemed half way interested in us being there was when we ordered the coffee before leaving. I’d never go back.

I used to live in Miami Beach 30+ years ago. I came back to visit with my husband and son. The food and the warmth and attentiveness of service was exactly what I remembered. Puerto Sagua is an icon! It was so special to be able to return. I had the picadillo, my husband had palomillo steak, and my son had a Cuban sandwich. Of all the places that have come and gone in Miami Beach, this place is for real. The authentic. Everyone was so kind. The bread is still amazing. There's just nothing like it. Oh and my cortadito was a little sip of heaven.💜 Highly recommend!

This really was a chill back Cuban spot and we loved it! I got the whole red snapper and she got the Puerto sagua plate. We both loved our food. Mine was the best dish I had so far on this trip. The decaf cortadito and tres leches hit the spot at the end. Definitely coming back again.

Highly recommended resturant on South Beach, we only went for a quick bite, platano omelet and cafecito. Cuban bread. I wish I would have gone later on Because the menu looks amazing for lunch and dinner.

Been here Twice so far for Bruch and there sandwiches don't miss. The Media Noche and the Calle Ocho hit every time. The café Cubano is on point. Juices are fresh. Chill atmosphere with the locals. Prices were right on.

As always the food was delicious! Service was very fast! Looks a little old and worn but somehow it’s part of the charm. We had bistec empanisado, media noche and croqueta preparada. The Cuban coffee is always a must! I highly recommend visiting.

La Carreta Miami is a true gem! The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The food was absolutely delicious—comforting, flavorful, and exactly what we needed after a long day out in the sun and water. They offer a wide variety of dishes and sides, and everything tasted like it was made with care and love. A must-visit for anyone craving authentic, satisfying Cuban food!

Staff is very friendly and nice, they will give you great recommendations. The food was okay, nothing extraordinary, except for the lamb that was excellent according to my husband. Service is a bit slow, but nothing crazy. My children got the chicken breast and said they liked it. We had a good time.

I’ve been coming to La Carreta since I was a kid with my parents, and now I get to bring my own kids here. The food is always amazing and authentic, and the service is top-notch every single time. This place truly captures the authentic Cuban experience. I absolutely love it here!

La Carreta in Little Havana 🇨🇺 is a must-visit! The Cuban sandwich 🥪 is perfectly pressed, the black beans & rice 🍚 are full of flavor, & the flank steak 🥩 is tender & seasoned just right. Authentic taste, great vibes, & fast service—highly recommend! 🌟

Vaca frita de res y de pollo were great. The pan con bistec sandwich was great along with an order of yuca frita & tostones. Services was also decent and quick.

This restaurant have an extensive menu with many plates and options to choose from. Go early because parking is limited and it may take you some time to find where to park. They were very full when we visited, but they were able to accommodate us in a corner table. The drinks were refreshing, and food was tasty with big portions, but our white rice came uncooked and hard to eat. The server suggested we get Moro rice instead, but we passed on that. Now, for some strange reason, when we got out of the restaurant, we were all smelling like grease and food. I see now they are closed temporary. Hopefully for renovations such as parking, seating, and kitchen exhaust fans.

We just had the best meal here. Jorge was the most excellent server ever. He was very attentive and made thoughtful and helpful suggestions for drink, meal, and dessert options. The stuffed chicken with Moro rice and plantains was fantastic. The vaca frita empanadas were chef’s kiss. It was extremely difficult to pick a dessert with all the delectable options, but the coconut bread pudding with ice cream was amazing. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time at Havana Harry’s. The food was sensational, the portion sizes were huge! The service with Darien was absolutely on point, and he was so helpful and friendly. I heartily recommend Havana Harry’s! Try the guava cheesecake overload!

We drove from Texas to eat here! We used to come eat here when we lived in Fort Lauderdale. We are back for business and barely got into town before we drove down. The food is unmatched. The atmosphere so lovely! The service is perfection!

We ate at Havana Harry's and had a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was vibrant, the service was fast, and the food was absolutely delicious. Our server, Harry, was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and made our meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place 100%!

We had an amazing meal at Havana Harry’s! The beef Milanese was perfectly cooked and flavorful, served with classic white rice, creamy black beans, and sweet plantains. The spicy mango margarita was the perfect balance of sweet and heat absolutely delicious. To end the right way, the desserts were outstanding! The guava cheesecake was rich and creamy, and the flan tres leches was moist and silky. A must visit for anyone craving authentic Cuban flavors

What a great restaurant where customer service is a top priority. Our waiter Jose P. had many recommendations and my mushroom chicken Milanese was amazing. Portions are large and shareable. I highly recommend you come and don’t be intimidated by the desserts treat yourself!

My father and I had a wonderful Victory dinner the day after the Louisville Cardinals mopped up the Miami Hurricanes! Everything about the dining experience was wonderful from the wait time to the food! The food is perfectly priced! The portions aren't huge, but they're not small either. You may not have leftovers but you will be full. The cafe con Leche was heavenly! The bread pudding was delicious but not after refrigerated. From now on if I'm ever in Miami it is a must to dine here!

We visited Versailles Restaurant after reading so many amazing reviews over 26,000 people have rated this place! As tourists, we decided we couldn’t miss it, even though we had to take an Uber for almost half an hour from our hotel. It was totally worth it! Even though the restaurant was very busy, everything was well-organized and smooth. The place was super clean, the staff were polite and professional, and the food was absolutely delicious the rice was fragrant and tasty, and the meat was tender and full of flavor. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the great quality and generous portions. After our meal, we decided to order dessert and coffee, and the staff kindly guided us to their own bakery, which is located right on the same property. The desserts there were fantastic fresh, flavorful, and high quality, and the coffee was rich and smooth. The dessert we ordered was one of their most famous ones, and it’s meant to be enjoyed with their strong Cuban coffee. Since I ordered black tea instead, it felt a bit too sweet for me but that’s just a pairing thing! We also ordered a few items to go, and even though we ate them later when they were cold, they were still very tasty and kept their quality, so we wouldn’t deduct any points for that. The only thing I didn’t really like was that the area for adding the tip was already highlighted with a pen, as if to remind customers not to forget it. I think that’s unnecessary because most people already leave a tip unless they’re unhappy with the service, which definitely wasn’t the case here. Overall, this restaurant truly deserves 5 out of 5 stars. Everything from the food to the service and desserts was excellent. We really enjoyed our experience, and we’ll definitely come back here next time we visit Miami.

Came from Orlando for my bday dinner. Customer service excellent, our server was friendly and fast. I thought since it was a Sunday in miami there would be a long wait but we got seated as soon as walked in and the food came out within 20 mins. The food is nothing out of this world BUT it was delicious and seasoned well and felt like home cooked meal from a Cuban abuela. I would definitely eat here again the next time i’m in Miami.

I was really looking forward to coming back to Versailles on 8th Street. I ate here about five years ago and it was an amazing experience, so we even took a $25 Uber from Miami Beach to come back. Unfortunately, this visit was a disappointment. From the start, the service felt cold and impersonal. When we arrived, the hostess asked for my name, wrote it down, and that was it. No smile, no “welcome,” no estimate until I asked how long it would be. She said 30 minutes; we were seated in about 15, so the wait itself wasn’t the issue—it was the lack of warmth. Once we sat down, our server said hello and immediately jumped to, “What can I get you—drinks, appetizers, are you ready?” She didn’t walk us through the menu, didn’t mention any specials, and didn’t seem interested in helping us choose. We told her we definitely wanted ropa vieja and asked for a seafood recommendation. She suggested the shrimp al ajillo. The shrimp dish was the biggest letdown. The garlic sauce had a strange, thick consistency and almost no flavor—adding salt didn’t really save it. Several of the shrimp were undercooked and still a bit translucent, which is not what you want with seafood. The rice also didn’t taste fresh; there were some crunchy bites like it had been sitting for a while. The tostones were okay but not hot and fresh—I can honestly make better ones at home. On the positive side, the ropa vieja was excellent, exactly what I remembered and easily the best thing we ate. Both the Caesar salad and the Versailles salad were also very good. Overall, it ended up being a very average meal with a few highs and a lot of missed details—especially for a place with this reputation. Between the underwhelming service, the disappointing shrimp dish, and the long/expensive trip from the Beach, I’d give this experience three stars. Sadly, based on this visit, I probably won’t be coming back.

Stopped by Versailles Restaurant for a pastelito de guayaba y queso and a café con leche because apparently I’m doing a full Miami pastry tour now. First off, the pastelitos here are the real deal. Softer, flakier, and the cheese tastes like it actually has a passport. 😂 The guava was fresh, the texture was perfect, and it didn’t feel like it had been sitting around waiting for its big break. And the best part? The price was better than at Karla’s. Always a win in Miami where your coffee can cost as much as your car insurance. Now, the café con leche… whew. That thing was STRONG. Like, “I can see sounds now” strong. 💪☕️ I get why people love it. It’s bold and full of flavor. But personally, I prefer the smoother coffee at Karla’s. My heart rate definitely disagreed, though. Still, Versailles never disappoints. Iconic spot, top-tier pastelitos, and coffee that’ll keep you awake through the next hurricane season.

Good experience, solid food, friendly service, dated but charming interior. We enjoyed our visit. It’s nothing to write home about, but it was interesting visiting what they claim is the world’s most famous Cuban restaurant. Ox Thai was excellent, but Paella Versailles was not good though in my view, perhaps, other paellas are better.

Great Experience with a friendly staff and very tasty food. ASSORTED SEAFOOD “ZARZUELA DE MARISCOS” Was excellent, full of flavor with less salt and great textures! Worth the price and more.

Sometimes the instagram famous places live up to hype. And Chug’s definitely does!!! The big pancake s NOT just a gimmick. It is one of the best pancakes I’ve ever had! We also had the lechon hash, and amazing cafe con leche and cortadito. Will be back! Special thanks to our wonderful hostess Natalie!!

I’ve been wanting to check out Chug’s Diner for a long time, and it definitely did not disappoint! The menu truly has something for everyone, from classic Cuban favorites to creative comfort food. There were so many highlights, but I especially loved their different croquetas (each one packed with flavor) and the frita, which was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. They even offered my dog a bowl of water, which was very thoughtful! There are still so many things on the menu I’m excited to try, especially their famous pancakes, so I’ll definitely be back soon. Chug’s lives up to the hype and then some. Highly recommend!

Chug's Diner is a very popular spot located in Coconut Grove. They offer both indoor and patio dining. They offer a variety chef chef-inspired diner options. They are open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They also stay open late. It's a great place for a visitor to Miami to try to get the feel of a true Miami experience.

This is an amazing diner. The food is excellent and the service staff go out of their way to be helpful. The 2 ladies that served us, Megan and Telly even tried to help us with the car park payment. If you are in the area, this place is a must. The cast iron pancake is seriously delicious but it’s a huge portion so watch out for that!

Chug’s is easily my favorite brunch spot in Miami! Worth the wait, and the team is always working hard to get us seated as soon as possible. I try something new every time, and I am never disappointed. It’s always delicious! Great coffee, fabulous cocktails. Our server Danielle(a?) was so kind and attentive, made us feel at home.

The food here was absolutely amazing 🤩 Came for their pancakes but everything else was just 🧑‍🍳💋 Highly recommend coming here with more people to eat a bite of everything. Wish we had more friends to try more things. Will definitely be back 🫶

Even though our initial wait time was 55 minutes, we got seated much quicker than expected. Our waiter Rowyn was super helpful and even gave us great suggestions on what to order. The atmosphere was nice, and the food was actually delightful.

The food was delicious and full of flavor, and the place has such a cool vibe — lively music, great atmosphere, and nice decor. The staff were friendly and service was quick even though it was busy. It’s a great spot to enjoy good food and people-watch right on Ocean Drive. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Miami Beach!

All I can say is wow!! I was blown away by the place . Starting with the amazing customer service from Lulu. Lulu was so friendly and made the stay even extra special. My phone battery was dead, as I dined and enjoyed the amazing music Lulu found a charger for me to charge my phone while I dined. The music was amazing!! All of my favorite songs. It took me back to old Havana. I only planned to stay for a few songs but decided to stay the entire show. It starts at 8pm, I suggest getting there 7-7:30 to feet good seats. The band was fire!! Beautiful vocals and accompanying sound. It’s a chill vibe, classy and great atmosphere.

Kate our server was wonderful with our food allergies. We got happy hour drinks. The mojito was on point. Pork bites succulent. Corn tamales one of the best ever. Roast chicken was a holy heck. Great live music Friday night. Highly recommend

We had a lovely dinner at this restaurant! The service was excellent pairing with the delicious dishes. We dined outside and enjoyed the great atmosphere. The warm vibes set us up for a very nice evening. First time dining along Ocean Drive. It is a very cool dining spot. I highly recommend.

Sol was such a sweet and attentive server. She even took the time to talk to me about the community and provide insight into my way home. The food was honestly some of the best food I’ve had in a long time. I had the Cuban Platter so a little of everything. Highly recommend!

Great food. I had the Cuban and a mojito. Both were wonderful. Everyone at the table loved their food. Our waitress was wonderful. She explained everything including how they marinated the meat.

Our server, Kate, was terrific! The mojitos were excellent and the food was delicious…the portions are extremely generous too. A fun atmosphere and a beautiful view from the patio.

Can’s restaurant because I was staying nearby and I was in the mood for some good octopus mainly because I seen pictures… I want them into my delight. Got a nice version of piña colada obviously got the octopus which was surprisingly flavorful. I didn’t think that it would be enough, but after I finish the plate, I actually got full. That was all before my main course which was steak and eggs I end up taking that to go. The backwards thing about it was I thought I’d be getting one steak and two actually got two steaks and one egg which is great. I felt like the bill was fairly priced and the service was amazing. I drove myself and I’ll definitely be back next time. I’m in Miami staying next to the airport.

Had a small leisure trip to Miami for some museums and sight seeing. Out of every place we visited for food, this place was the best. The service was phenomenal and the food was outstanding. I got the masitas, and the rest of my group got the camarones al ajillo, a liver dish, and the steak salad. All of it was great. Super tasty cocktails. Everything looked gorgeous as well. Not sure when I'll be back to Miami, but if you're visiting, I highly recommend La Rosa!

Great food accompanied by great service! Highly recommend you come out and try the Australian Wagyo steak…. AMAZING!! This incorporates wonderfully with fine Cuban cuisine.

This is a must visit restaurant! We are in town for vacation and we will be back again! The food was incredible, Manuel was a devoted server and we have not experienced service at this caliber for quite some time and helped refer different options based on what we said we like.

Corner of 41st Ave and NW 7th st, clean, cozy place, food is very salty, food was dried, warmed up, very expensive for Cuban food, small portions; Masitas de puerco $20, Arroz con pollo +soup+dessert $27 , look at the menu attached. Service was good, plenty of parking

THE FIRST CUBAN RESTAURANT IN MIAMI, WITH THE SOUL OF 1960s HAVANA I am an Australian, but a frequent visitor to both Miami and Havana, involved in both places as a Professor of Medicine and a Lecturer in Anthropology. I left Havana in 2023, and today was the first time I truly savored the kind of Cuban cuisine I had grown used to in La Habana—a few notches higher in elegance and sophistication than most Cuban-American restaurants in Miami. I was transported back to the many dinners and long conversations in the halls of Havana, and I deeply enjoyed the nostalgia evoked by the cuisine of 1960s Cuba. This cherished culinary tradition is kept alive at La Rosa Restaurant, founded in 1968 by people from the province of Matanzas. I don’t think you’ll find malanga soup with such refined taste anywhere else. I had the grilled fish, and my companion enjoyed vaca frita after his salad. And how can a Cuban meal be complete without Caviar Cubano—frijoles negros, the black beans? I closed my eyes while sipping the black bean soup and could feel the breeze from the Malecón (my apartment was near the Malecón). The dessert took us both by surprise. I had Cuban natilla, reminiscent of crema catalana or crème brûlée—every morsel was delicious. My companion had arroz con leche, a melt-in-the-mouth kind of delight. My stomach was satisfied, my mind coated in the warm nostalgia of my recent life in Havana, and I felt spiritually connected to the rich history of that island just south of here. You will always be in my heart.

This restaurant was really good. I ordered a burger and it was delicious. The party I was with had special requests, and they made it happen. Thank you for an excellent customer service.

This place is a must on your visit to Miami. They have a nice live show where you can choose (pay-reserve) at the front or near the stage. I choose front from stage. Staff were very nice and attentive. Bar area is a bit overcrowded but understandable since they had a recognition for the #13 Best Bar of North America. However, nice experience, delicious food. Top Notch! 👌🏻

This place lived up to the hype. The food was phenomenal and the drinks were scintillating! I can see why the bar is ranked as one of the top 50 bars in the world. If you're in Miami and wanting an authentic Cuban experience, li e music included, you must stop here!

A top-tier restaurant that you must try when visiting Miami! The 2 full service bars that accept walk ins are a fantastic compliment to this restaurants main floor, which has seating for you to view live music. Why come here over other places? The Cuban food, drinks, and atmosphere are to die for. We highly recommend the empanadas, especially the potato and steak empanadas to start off your meal. Crispy, flavorful, and filling - a great way to start your evening. We also highly recommend their Award Winning Buenavista, which features Bombay Sapphire London Dry Gin, elderflower liqueur, mint, and cucumber. This drink was skillfully mixed by the bartenders and was equal parts sweet and tangy. Cigar lovers will also love this place and can try their Trio Matamoros, which gives you Santa Teresa 1796 Arabica Coffe Cask, a Cafecito Cubano, and a cigar. We highly recommend booking a table, as this place can get busy on the weekends. Very worth the wait though! Come for the vibes and stay for the amazing food and drinks!

My husband celebrated his birthday on Saturday the 14th at Café La Trova. We had a wonderful night dancing and enjoying the great atmosphere. The food, drinks, and live music were all amazing. A big thank you to our waiter for making his birthday truly unforgettable.

Awesome evening at this bar/restaurant! The food is great, the drinks are good, and the music is fun. We had the ropa vieja, arroz con pollo and the ceviche. I LOVED the ropa vieja and the ceviche was good. The atmosphere is awesome and if you are looking for a good Cuban spot, this is the one.

Loved the experience. Really enjoyed the live band and just a fun vibe overall. Tried the Miami Spice and had one of the best ropa vieja I have ever eaten, seasoned and so tender. The empanadas and the croquettes were very tasty. Sat a little away from the stage which makes it easier to speak. It was busy for during the week. I would recommend a reservation.

The energy! I felt like I was back in Havana. Definitely go for the live music. I went on a very busy Friday evening for a drink. I stood for a while which I didn't mind. I managed to get a bar seat after. The buzz! I can see why this is currently number 82 on The World's 50 Best Bars (2025). The mojito was very good. Highly recommend.

I stopped in to have lunch with my dad and despite the ugly weather outside, they were very well organized. My server was Joel A very nice man that gave wonderful service had total knowledge of the menu and offered good recommendations. I have eaten here before and been served on by Joel as well and both times I had excellent service. The food came out promptly and everything was delicious. I highly recommend anyone to come here and have a lovely authentic Cuban dish.

Sergio's Restaurant is Miami!! This charming Cuban restaurant has an authentic menu. You can have abuela's food anytime here. The flavors are definitely not a franchise. They even have a skinny menu that tastes delicious. Everything is fresh. Arisleny was out amazing server. She is super sweet, and she knowss the Menu well. Offered to take our pictures and video so we have memories of our dining experience. We last attended during their 50th Anniversary. Menu prices matched back from when they first opened in 1975. The event was celebrated by Patriants alike and city officials. We were inspired to toast with Champagne! On Fridays their soup special is Lentils and they have Crema de Malanga in a daily. This place is rated 5 stars, but I GIVE THEM A 10 OUT 10!!!

we came on the 50th anniversary of Sergio‘s, a lot of people are winning in line and it was very unorganized until I have to admit that maria Maria Hernandez came in and they asked her to sub for the hostess with another girl and she immediately checked all the tables mobilized. Everyone was very courteous and all of a sudden the line went down. I am not saying that the line was ended, but I’m saying she She got things flowing and was very courteous so she ease the tension and she’s very very nice. At the same time there was another girl with her working there her name is. cheimy Super Sweet todo bien mi amor todo bien todo bien jaime Was the hostess and she did her role as well. Super super satisfying.

How many compliments that I can say from this amazing restaurant of 1 to 10 I give 20. Delicious food with an amazing taste and the delicious desserts throughout the drinks. An excellent customer service experience with Juan Carlos very nice attitude and good service. I recommend this restaurant for everyone who is craving for a good cuban food. Thank you for the highly detailed attention and delicious meals !!!!

Friendly staff , clean place , quick service , easy access , All the food in this place is fresh and very delicious 👌 I had the pleasure of talking to the manager and he is a very professional and respectful person. 👍

I had such a great time at Sergio’s! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. They have the best croquetas and empanadas—perfectly crispy and packed with amazing taste. The service was friendly and attentive without feeling rushed. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming—perfect for a casual meal with friends and family. Highly recommend trying their signature dishes; you can really taste the quality and care that goes into every plate. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Great Cuban food! With vegetarian choices Nice environment. Gracias Rigoberto!

​Well, I finally got to visit this restaurant. I was in town for work and this place was highly recommended by multiple people. I wanted to have the entire sit down experience, but the place was packed! The ambiance was good and it felt like you were at a family reunion. I ended up ordering a Cuban Sandwich from the takeout window, since the wait time was going to be a bit long and I was in a hurry. 5 Minutes later, I got my sandwich, handed over by the owner. I told her it was my first day at her establishment. She welcomed me and hoped I liked the food and to come back when in town. She was super nice and humble. No wonder she is like a legend in the area. The sub was delicious. It had the perfect balance of ingredients and the bread was super fresh and crispy. I will definitely go back when in town. I was told the pan con bistec was fantastic and the ropa vieja was outstanding. Heck, I might try both!

As always Enriquetas does not disappoint. Good service, and thankfully we found a seat in the breakfast bar area. Quick service. We had a shot of espresso and for breakfast an egg sandwhich and turkey sandwhich. I had totally forgotten how big they are. Highly recommend you arrive before 11am as the pricing changes.

Amazing diner that offers one of the best Cuban sandwiches you can find in their Double Cuban! Stacked high with a chopped pulled pork. It is very big and can easily be shared if you do not have a large appetite. It is so delicious, that it is crave worthy. Staff is very nice, attentive, and the atmosphere is casual. Would definitely recommend and visit every time in Miami!

The best Cuban sandwich ever!! Get the Cubano Doble sandwich. The owner and staff were lovely.

One of the best sandwiches of my life. Go for the cubano doble. The roast pork is so flavorful and delicious. We shared one of those and the standard cubano, and the doble was no doubt the better of the 2. Both were good, but the doble will live rent free in my head forever.

Cuban soul food for the soul is on the menu at the family restaurant que tienen el sabor. The breakfast special is completo, the Bistec a Caballo (eggs on horseback - palomilla steak with onions, grilled ham and lime) with fries is fantastic! Sandwiches are a can't miss, including one of Miami's best Pan con bistec (steak sandwiches) and the Pan Enriqueta, una tortilla encebollado (an onion omelette) con queso suizo, jamón, tomate y bacon (Swiss cheese, ham, tomato and bacon) which is a VERY filling option. Lunch specials are can't miss classic prepared Cuban lunch-dinner items. Only open Monday. Thru Sat. for breakfast and lunch, so don't try to brunch this spot.

If you're looking for a true taste of Cuba, this restaurant is an absolute gem. The flavors are rich, the portions are generous, and every dish feels like a homemade meal straight from Havana. From the perfectly seasoned ropa vieja to the crispy, golden tostones, everything is prepared with love and attention to detail. What makes this place even more special is the owner Enriqueta an incredibly kind and welcoming woman who treats every guest like family. Her warmth and hospitality make the dining experience feel even more authentic. Whether you're a Cuban food enthusiast or trying it for the first time, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!

The Cubano sandwich was really good, especially paired with a cafecito, and the croquetas were tasty too. This is more of an in-and-out spot—it’s very small and gets super crowded, so ordering to go is probably the best option. Prices are on the higher side, and I was a little disappointed they didn’t have pan con bistec since I was dying to try it. Staff were friendly and quick.

Easily the best Cuban sandwich I've ever had in my life! Media Noche was my favorite. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Proportion of fillings was perfect and flavorful. Mamey shake was also delicious. Flan cake was a great dessert. Service was friendly, and prices were reasonable. I'll definitely be back!

If you want to try a cuban sandwich in Miami, THIS is the place to go. We tried the original cubano and the croquetta preparada for lunch - we liked this croquetta preparada so much, we got another one for dinner. This shop is small, but constantly busy. Try to come in before the lunch rush around 11 am if you plan to sit and dine in the restaurant. They also have a location in Bayside marketplace, which is even smaller. Their side sauce is a garlicky sauce which was tasty. They have batidos (milkshakes) with unique flavors. The timba flavor is a guava and cheese shake that encompasses the flavor of a typical guava and cheese empanada/roll. The trigo is a cereal-milk type milkshake that has the taste of the UK cereal Weetabix - it is slightly nutty and oaty and not too sweet. We got the milkshakes to go for a car ride, and it was a good car snack.

The service was delightful, so warm and cheerful. Even though the sandwiches are mostly meat-based, they still managed to get me a vegetarian option! I wasn't expecting that and was very happy about it, so I didn't have to miss out on the deliciousness. The espresso was so good that we immediately ordered a second one. Highly recommended!

We went on a weekday around 12pm for lunch, the small restaurant soon became so packed after we sat down. Food wise we got the famous Cuban sandwich ($15 ish), we were not impressed at all, it just tasted like a normal ham and cheese sandwich with pickles and mustard really, so we didn’t understand what the hype was about. A plus is the toilet was really spacious and clean.

I had a cubano and the fries. My husband got the pan con lichon. Both sandwiches were so yummy!! It's a small cozy spot with clean restrooms. It was non stop busy, but the wait wasn't long at all.

I would say the hype is real, but I wouldn’t agree that it’s worth it. We waited outside for over 30 minutes in a huge line, and while I still thought the food was great, it didn’t fully live up to the buzz. Their Cuban milkshakes were (batido de mango y batido de mamey) amazing, the ham croquetas were good, and their sandwiches were also great. However, among all the Miami sandwich spots with Michelin Bib Gourmand awards, this is one of them, but IMHO I think Tinta y Cafe has the edge when it comes to the best sandwich.

It was my first time having cuban food and oh boy it will definitely not be my last time!! From the entrance, to the service, to the food, everything was perfect. The cleanliness is on point. I started with a rhum 12 years from panama which smelled like honey, it was okay not the best rhum i’ve had in my life. So as for a starter i got 2 empanadas one of each both of them were perfect I really enjoyed the one with carne molida. Then i got a rabo encendido with arroz morro and patacones and oh boy that was the highlight of the night, the oxtail perfectly juicy, tender and fuill of flavor and spices. The rice was also really flavorful with great spices. The only downside was the patacones, i think they stayed a bit too long in the air so i felt like they were a bit hard to chew, but even if the patacones was not perfect i still enjoyed the full combination. Then i had the tres leches which was very decadent, the meringue was good perfectly smothered in the milk with a great cake with coconut flavor i very enjoyed it. how would you not give them a 5 star. The bathroom was clean. The music is awesome, the vibes are great. And a special mention to the waitress gaby which gave me an amazing service, always smiling and helping me with any of my choices and giving me a prompt and fast service. Highly recommended thank you gaby for the service.

We stopped in for lunch after dominoe park. We were seated outside in the back. The outside seating was beautiful and nice weather made it better than the inside for sure. Of course you have to grab a mojito and cuban sandwich. Everything our party had was absolutely delicious. We will definitely return next time we're in town and recommend to others visiting the area. We absolutely loved this establishment!

First time to come Old’s Havana. It was amazingly delicious Cuban food. And the place is so cool with the interior design. I got served by Gipsia. She is really nice person and she made me really comfortable and I enjoyed my lunch. And also I love their coffee. 5 stars!

There’s something so charming about having all your senses awakened — the sound of live Cuban music, the aroma of delicious food, and the cozy atmosphere of a small family restaurant in Little Havana. The place was alive with birthday celebrations, Saturday date nights, and hungry locals. The restaurant was packed, a true sign it’s loved by the community. It’s been about a year since our last visit, and we noticed they’ve added a roof to the outdoor patio, which made dining outside much more pleasant. Thank goodness we sat near one of the industrial fans because it was steaming hot! We ordered one appetizer, two entrées, and two desserts. To start, we had the Salpicao de Mariscos — a mix of fresh shrimp, octopus, and squid marinated in olive oil, peppers, garlic, and a surprising hint of cider that added a touch of sweetness. It was such a refreshing and flavorful starter — highly recommend! For my entrée, I had the Vaca Frita with sweet plantains and sautéed veggies, which was just okay — not bad, but it didn’t quite have that crispy, garlicky punch I was hoping for after such a strong start. The vegetables were overcooked and way too oily, but the plantains were a hit for both my husband and me. He ordered the Ropa Vieja, which he really enjoyed, especially paired with the yuca fries. The unexpected star of the meal, though, was the dessert. We were planning to order the tres leches and flan, but while I was in the restroom, the manager came by to check on our table and suggested my husband try their Arroz con Leche instead. I can’t tell you how pleasantly surprised I was — the dish was smooth, comforting, and just the right amount of sweet with a touch of cinnamon. The taste and texture completely won me over! For the two of us, dinner came to just under $100 with tip included (18% gratuity is automatically added — common practice in Miami). Service: 4/5 Food: 3.5/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 Value: 3.5/5

We came to this restaurant and had Liudmila as our server. She gave us recommendations of popular items on the menu that were all very very good. They had live music for a bit which everyone loved. The food (appetizer platter) and drinks (passion fruit mojitos) were amazing. Prices were good. Highly recommend .

An absolute jewel in Little Havana. The outdoors garden seatings are so pleasant. The food was so good so mouthwatering! We ordered the famous Cuban dishes including Ropa Encendido and Lechón Asado. The mango daiquiri and mojitos are so fresh and delicious (and not sweetened with sugar!!). It’s all fresh fruit based! Highly recommend!

The atmosphere and food were great. Our server, Gipsia was wonderful and caring. We really enjoyed the live music while eating; just the perfect touch to enjoy the Cuban culture.

Good food and good service. I don't recommend the fish soup, it tastes good but has way too much salt. You can get a completa for about $15 or just the main course for $10. They also have Cuban pizza. Outdoor seating only, under a tarp. Informal dining and atmosphere.

What does it feel like to be in a place that doesn’t even feel like the United States? That’s exactly what I experienced during my vacation in South Florida, when I decided to look for some authentic Cuban food in Miami. I plugged the address into the GPS and arrived at this spot... At first glance, the area looked pretty rough — kind of run-down, definitely low-income, and honestly, it felt like I had stepped into a totally different world. And the funny part? Nobody spoke English. Everything was in Spanish — which actually made it feel like I had left the country and landed right in the heart of Havana. But the real surprise came when I stepped inside. The smell hit me right away — in the best way possible. It was incredible. It instantly reminded me of home-cooked meals made with love and tradition. All the food was already prepared and ready to go. I ordered the oxtail, and wow… it was amazing. The flavor, the seasoning, the tenderness — everything was on point. So yeah, maybe from the outside the place doesn’t look like much, but once you’re in, it’s like stepping into a living, breathing piece of Cuba. If you’re looking for real Cuban food, this place will blow your mind

El Palacio de los Jugos on Flagler Street is an absolute must-visit when in Miami. Just minutes from the airport, this landmark location serves up some of the freshest and most authentic Cuban cuisine in the city. The food is incredible — always hot, fresh, and constantly coming out, ensuring there’s always something delicious ready to enjoy. From the perfectly seasoned meats to the vibrant sides and, of course, the fresh juices, everything bursts with flavor and Miami soul. It’s a lively spot full of energy, locals, and travelers alike — the true essence of Cuban hospitality. Whether you’re flying in, flying out, or just hungry for a real Miami experience, El Palacio de los Jugos is the place to be! 🇨🇺🥤🍽️

The best breakfast in town. Just $5. It’s amazing. 3 eggs with ham in any modality, French fries, beacon, a toast with butter, milk with coffee or a “colada”- espresso, or soda or water. Huge amounts, Great quality. I’m really happy and satisfied.

I love this place it's awesome!! it can be busy at times and it can be hard to order if you don't speak Spanish. But the option and the selections of Cuban food you have are endless! I come here every year when I visit Miami and every year I've tried something new. Only reason for 4 and not 5 stars is workers can be rude sometimes other then that 100% recommend!

I had the pan con lechon it was delicious. It was a little bit salty but I ate it anyway I ordered watermelon and passion fruit juice was delicious the selection and variety of food is amazing and it is a value.

Food is always fresh and the staff is nice. Huhe variety of Cuban delicacies, meats, seafood, fruits, juices, desserts, and more.

I’m so glad I stopped by El Rey de las Fritas! I didn’t catch the names of the staff, but everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, it really made the experience even better. The food was priced very reasonably, and everything I tried was absolutely delicious. You can tell there’s a lot of love and flavor in what they make. Definitely worth the visit!

Second time coming here and the food is just as good. The fritas with fried cheese and plantain is so good. The burger is flavored like no other I have had.

Incredibly authentic little Cuban cafe where my server didn’t speak English, which i loved! I felt like i was in another country and made myself right at home. I had the frita especial con queso and it was delicious. The bread, the meat, the crispy fried potatoes, everything was 👌 I went back later and got coconut flan to go and the coco was very sweet but delicious. I would get the regular flan next time. I’m thinking about going back tomorrow.

Good natural shakes, not too sweet. Sandwich is cool and I'm not trying to change the game but I'm not a fan of crispy chips (would prefer french fries lol). Meat was nice, little spicy. Bun could've been better. I like the ambience

Cuban diner in americqn style. Try special Fritas! Really worth it. Nice and casual service.

Super delish and everyone was so nice! Our whole party had a great meal. The burgers, fries, juices, and desserts were all good

We tried this restaurant twice and we were satisfied both times! Great food, clean restaurant and polite staff, big portions!

Really cool spot tucked away in Little Havana.. away from the Main Street. Outdoor patio area was a REALLY pleasant surprise to the unsuspecting eye. Awesome vibes, very lush, vibrant.. perfect for enjoying your meal in a chill + fun setting The stand out for us was the Fresh Florida Mahi. Perfectly prepared.. the mahi comes atop a flavorful maduro (to die for) all laden with a rich, creamy coconut ahi cream.. paired with jasmine rice and a bit of a side salad Goat cheese croquetas were good. Was cool to try them with the guava marmalade If you like tuna crispy rice, should suggest trying the Ahi Tuna Poppers. Bit of a Cuban take to this asian treat.. not bad. But nothing to write home about Service was great.. entire team was attentive and welcoming

Wife and I have had this spot on our list since we moved here back in October. The food did not disappoint! I had the ropa vieja. Was one of the best versions of this dish I’ve had in south Florida yet. Wife got the arroz imperial which was also phenomenal. Finished up with cortaditos and a piece of the tres leches cake which were both also delicious. Food, atmosphere all top notch. My one complain was our server was not the most attentive. We had 2 drinks, 2 entres, coffee and desert and were there for like over 2 hours. We saw people with other servers that were seated after us that were leaving before our entree dishes had even been cleared. We each got water that was never refilled (and not even asked if we wanted refills). Our empty cocktail glasses sat there until well after we were done eating. So 5 stars across the board aside from our server. Would still go back though, as the food was amazing.

Incredible food, Cuban approved! All the twists and turns on the traditional dishes from the vaca frita tostones to the masitas de puerco frito en arroz frito. All the flavors were 10/10, so perfectly cooked, we also shared the arroz imperial which was packed with flavor and didn’t even have meat! Definitely coming back on my next visit to see how they’ve evolved the menu!

Food was exceptional! We had ropa vieja, arroz imperial cubano with fried egg, and coconut tres leches for dessert. For drinks we had passion fruit lemonade and a mojito. The food was delicious, and the drinks were refreshing and well made. Service was just okay. Our server was particularly slow - other tables came in, ate, paid, and left in the time it took us to receive our food. Drinks weren’t refilled or offered again; and time between sitting, ordering drinks, ordering food, etc was forever. Seeing other tables though, I don’t think it’s an issue with the restaurant but with the individual server. We weren’t in a rush so it was fine, but not ideal. Overall still recommend because the food was so good. We’ll definitely be back.

Great place to eat after a Marlin’s game. Food and drinks here are really good. Atmosphere is great especially in the back patio. Live music is entertaining and authentic. Music isn’t too loud but I would avoid sitting in the center if you have sensitive ears. This place has high powered ceiling fans outside and the bathrooms are decent.

We spent the day exploring Little Havana and stopped by Doce for lunch. It’s a bit off the Main Street, but we loved their outdoor patio. We started with the croquetas and then had the Little Bird Fried Chicken and the tostones. Yum!

Walking in my party was immediately greeted by our server. They sat us quickly and we had our food ordered and delivered within 30-ish minutes. The severs were attentive without being overbearing. The Pollo A La Plancha was so good I nearly cried. The food is well worth the price in portion size alone. I'm going to DREAM about that chicken. 20/10 would eat here everyday if I was local.

Amazing service, amazing food, great sangria! Went with a local friend and he helped us order and it was just fantastic. Not expensive for what we ordered, and I was very very happy with my Cuban sandwich!!

As a first-time visitor to Latin Cafe 2000, I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to this wonderful establishment. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. Outstanding Service The server truly made the experience memorable. Their patience and helpfulness as I navigated the menu for the first time was exceptional. It's clear they take pride in ensuring every customer feels comfortable and well cared for, regardless of their familiarity with the cuisine. Atmosphere & Ambiance The vibe at Latin Cafe is exactly what you'd want from a neighborhood spot, chill, authentic, and inviting. It's the kind of place where you can settle in and truly enjoy your meal without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. The Food: Exceptional Value I ordered the Ropa Vieja with Moros y Cristianos and Plátanos Maduros, and every bite exceeded my expectations. The tender, flavorful shredded beef paired perfectly with the beans and rice, while the sweet plantains provided the perfect complement to the savory elements. What impressed me most was the exceptional quality relative to the price point, especially considering the location. You're getting authentic, well-prepared Cuban cuisine without breaking the bank. Final Thoughts Latin Cafe has earned a loyal customer. The combination of outstanding service, relaxed atmosphere, and exceptional food at great value makes this a standout choice. I'm already looking forward to returning to try their breakfast menu. If it's anything like dinner, it's going to be fantastic. Highly recommended for anyone seeking authentic Latin cuisine in a welcoming, no fuss environment. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Latin Café 2000 is one of my favorite spots in Miami for authentic Cuban food. The flavors are delicious and true to their roots – from the ropa vieja and churrasco to the classic Cuban sandwich, every dish feels homemade and satisfying. Portions are generous, and you definitely get great value for your money. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, perfect whether you’re stopping by for a cafecito and tostada in the morning or a late-night bite after a long day. Service was friendly and quick during my visit, which made the experience even better.

I'm very glad we chose here to grab lunch when we got off the metro mover. Our waitress was very nice and was able to make recommendations for us on what to eat. My mojito was delicious. The food was all great. The atmosphere was very chill. There is an outdoor area and I saw a dog and a cat there enjoying their day with their owners just like us. The fans kept all the air circulating and it wasn't too hot. I would definitely recommend.

This is a weekly must: a cafecito paired with delicious empanadas. The food is both tasty and affordable. It's enjoyable to sit and chat while appreciating the beautiful weather.

This is our fave local spot. Food is delicious, but even better is the coffee in the mornings when Wendy greets us. Wendy is always in a great mood and super friendly. Makes the experience even better.

I ordered 4 chicken empanadas to go. I got 3 chicken and 1 pork. I do not eat pork. I never accidentally order pork. Their chicken Empanadas have the work “chicken” written on them. So I’m not quite sure how you can mess that up. Absolutely ruined the experience for me. Not worth it.

Had dinner here and the food was delicious. We chose to just do a few appetizers and they were all very good. The meat was tender and juicy. The staff was very nice. It’s in a pretty good location if you are in south beach area. Mostly outdoor seating and I don’t think inside would feel very cool since it’s open so if looking for a cold place with AC then maybe not this place but if looking for good food definitely hit it up

The food was great as was the drinks as they were all made with fresh ingredients however a lot of items on the menu weren’t available due to running out of stock by 7:30pm on a weekday. The service did feel a little rushed too but the staff weren’t rude as it might just be the culture of these restaurants in Miami. The chicken breast dish I ordered was succulent as was the ceviche. My wife ordered the sliders and they were cooked well as they were flavoursome even without any sauce.

We had calamari and steak — the portions were a bit small but everything was tasty. Since we weren’t full, we ordered a Margherita pizza, but it didn’t really meet our expectations. Still, the atmosphere was lovely, there was live music, and the staff were really nice.

Bryan was a fantastic server. We had Pina Coldas and the Cuban Sandwich which was delicious 😋 I highly recommend this dining experience to anyone look for a enjoyable dining experience.

I had a solo dinner at Little Havana South Beach - it’s such a gem! The atmosphere is comfortable and lively and the food is absolutely delicious. Bryan provided excellent service. Highly recommend if you are staying in the area. I went back a second time and had the grilled chicken breast which was excellent. My fiance´ tried it and ended up ordering one for himself. It's that good folks!

The restaurant was really clean and smelled really good. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The food came out hot and was flavorful .

Brian makes the best Mojitos and Ire has been the best host.. we had a great time. The sandwiches are to live for.

It’s very cute inside, but yet very small. The service was fine nothing spectacular. The food is excellent. It’s very very good. The only thing is the appetizers are really really small. They used to give you a lot, but not anymore. And I’m not a fan of automatically charging gratuity when there’s only two people Dinning. And it’s quite expensive now. But the food is so good!! Sad on everything else.

Went there for the first time this past Halloween. We only wanted to have some snacks before going back home. We settled for the Stuffed Tostones with Shrimp and Masitas de Puerco. The masitas take the cake, SO GOOD! Small plate though. Maybe two more masitas will be better portion but it is my opinion. As a recommendation from our server, we ordered a Ron Cortadito for that extra kick of energy before walking back to Lincoln Rd and, untimately, driving back home. FANTASTIC! Exactly what was needed. Service was great. We will be back for a proper meal even considering brunch which looks good after reading the menu posted in the entrance.

Everything was amazing! Food tasted very authentic, service was great, and the atmosphere was just perfect sitting outside at the patio. The best part was the mohijoto and the server making it in front of you. So refreshing.

I love this place, am a local and come here for lunch sometimes. Love the Ropa Vieja bowl and the service is great. Shoutout to Giselle, who went the extra mile and got me a little Daiquiri on the house. The maduros are great, too, as well as the passion fruit mojitos.

From the moment we stepped in the restaurant not only was it lively and welcoming, the food AH-mazing and staff superb. The cherry on top was Romel! He made me a customer for life. I will be going back and recommending to everyone just because of him. He answered questions, laughed with us and very attentive. Five stars hand down!

Our server Manuel was amazing. He was very attentive, quick, and knowledgeable about the menu. The drinks were great, and the food was amazing. Everything was delicious and fresh. I had the cocnout mojito, crispy pork belly with Yuca chips, the flank steak empanadas, and the corn tamal. When I visit Miami again, I will definitely come back here. Highly recommended!

We went to Havana 1957 at Miami Beach, and let me tell you, we were blown away with the Cuban food! We tried the Havana sampler, ham croquettes, and stuffed plantains and everything was 10/10. In addition, the service was excellent. Romel was our waiter and he was so attentive. We were with our little ones and he made sure everyone was well taken cared for. Totally recommend!

Came here for my girlfriends birthday and it was actually a great time. The food was really tasty. I would definitely recommend the empanadas, super flavorful and the meat filled the pocket completely. One thing that makes an empanada bad is an near empty empanada; this wasn't the case here. I got the full rack of ribs, which definitely came home with me, it was a lot. My girlfriend got the lechon. Both were really good. I gave it 3 stars for service because I did call ahead and let them know it was for a birthday. That wasn't acknowledged, I was a little disappointed in that. The service was a tad slow, but we did have a helpful waitress who recommended what we ended up eating.

This Cuban restaurant was an absolute gem! The food was bursting with flavor. Every bite tasted like it was made with love and tradition. From the tender pernil to the perfectly seasoned black beans and rice, everything was spot on. The ambience added so much to the experience….warm, vibrant, and full of energy, just like Cuba itself. But what really made the night unforgettable was our server. Attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the menu, they went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. Highly recommend if you’re looking for delicious Cuban cuisine in a place that feels both lively and welcoming. Will definitely be back!

Great food, Cindy recommended us awesome food and deserts. Great atmosphere, bar/grill setting with tvs outside patio. Found this place day before going on a cruise, Cindy’s service and friendliness made us come back after the cruise before heading home. Highly recommended.

Food Excellence! One of the best meals I've ever eaten. I was beyond happy after I chose this restaurant after reading the rave reviews. The reviews are true! So much flavor! Meat so tender it just melts like butter. The sauces are outstanding. Don't miss the empanadas! The ambience was excellent, too. Lots of visuals. Our server was great as well. Every employee was working hard. There is no slacking at this restaurant. High praise to management for the exceptional service. From a 60 year old who has eaten all around the world, Marabu is in my top 5 meals ever!!!

Ok, I'm shocked. I've eaten ar Cuban spots all over the Miami area, and I cannot tell you how disappointed I've been. Not that they're bad, but none of them have compelled me to write a review...until now. Marabu delivers a powerful punch. Everything was on point: the mojito was made perfectly, the vaca frita was crispy and tasty, the black beans and rice were perfect, and the maduros were fresh and deliciously sweet. Tony, my server at the bar, was excellent and made the evening even better. The ambience of the spot, albeit on the 4th floor of City Center mall, was fun, vibrant and memorable. I will be back, and can't wait to try more!

Highly recommended! Food was amazing & the service was even better. Jose took great care of us and did a wonderful job curating the menu. We got the grouper & snapper… outstanding 5 star!

Always an amazing experience! I often come here for lunch and it never disappoints. The Cuban bowls are my go-to — flavorful, filling, and surprisingly healthy. Perfect comfort food done right.

It was okay, great service and big portions! What I got a couple of items to share - Plantain chips, fried fish and liver steak (bonus Oxtail). The plantain chips came out warm, not sure if it is homemade or not, I do appreciate that it wasn't salty and the dipping sauce for this was great great (be warned, garlic-y), the liver steak was okay, cooked well with the onions on top. The fried fish I wish was better, it was not fresh.. so we got the oxtail which was so tender and soft! Very surprised by that. The mixed season rice has these pork rinds on it and it was no where near chewable... The white bean soup has okay, but it had pork/meat which I was surprised it had. Environment It was very late for me, so I didn't see much on the outside, but I was able to park very close to the restaurant on the back. The inside was very spacious with a lot of booth seating. Niceness of the staff Very nice staff and attentive. I wish that the waiter was a little more descriptive about the dishes though. i.e when I asked about the white bean soup, they left out the important details that there was pork in the soup as well. The server was very nice to swap out the fish dish that was not as fresh but I was surprised that the cost did not reflect the new dish name... Dollar It was mid-pricing. The total for the 3 dishes was 80. Yes I will try somewhere else.

Best place for Cuban food in the area. Their ox tail, Vaca frita, lechon, morros, cameron, and just about everything we tried was great. Staff was very friendly (though if you go, make sure to have a Spanish speaker in the party), we were seated promptly and the food came hot and fresh.

If you haven’t tried the chicken steak at Molina’s, you are seriously missing out! Perfectly seasoned, juicy, and grilled just right — this is comfort food done right. The sides were the perfect match — that classic rice and beans with crispy chicharrón and sweet plantains? Absolute perfection. You can taste the love in every bite, and the portions are generous enough to make you want a nap after (in the best way possible). Whether you’re local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and stop at Molina’s. The chicken steak alone is worth the trip!

Love this place because of the excellent service from Pedro and amazing Cuban food they serve. We look forward to our Sunday lunch with Pedro as our server. He has become like family to us. Best espresso and dessert too.

What a find! I stumbled across this diner by accident and couldn’t have been happier. The food is amazing, the prices are unbeatable, and the atmosphere feels absolutely authentic. The staff are warm and welcoming, which made the experience even better.

Visited this past Sunday with a friend to have dinner. There was no wait at all and were seated promptly. The service was very good and very attentive. We ordered two meals. One was the ground beef picadillo with moros and maduros, the other was the palomilla steak with black beans, rice and maduros. Both plates were great except for the maduros. The taste was as if the oil that they were fried in was old. Pricing for what we had was reasonable and the atmosphere was nice.

A most amazing meal, fish & shrimp in butter sauce was amazing. The chicken noodle soup tasted like Grandma's, it was the best appetizer ever.

Without a doubt, Tinta Y Cafe has some of the best sandwiches and coffee in all of Miami. If not the best, they are easily in the top three for sure. Their ham croquetas are made in-house and have a unique flavor unlike any others. The El Madurito sandwich was incredible. I've never tasted anything like it before. What an amazing sandwich! Whenever we're in Miami, this place is now our go-to spot and a must-visit. There's a reason they have earned and maintained a Michelin Bib Gourmand, and you can taste why with every bite. Simply amazing.

This place totally deserves its Michelin recognition. We liked it so much we went twice during our stay in Miami. The coffee is exceptional (we had cortadito and cafe con leche). The soups were packed with flavor, the croquettes and empanadas were awesome, as were the sandwiches (the bread really makes it). I liked that cafe discourages phone use so that customers commune more. We met regulars at our table each time we went, à good sign. Wait staff was efficient and very courteous despite the place being packed. Score a cool t-shirt if you can!

This Michelin-starred restaurant is a must-visit for foodies and coffee enthusiasts alike! The food and coffee were simply exceptional. I was delighted to have chosen this place for my coffee tour, and the staff went above and beyond to make my experience even more enjoyable. They were not only friendly but also provided valuable recommendations for other coffee spots in the area. If you’re ever in Coral Gables, be sure to make a stop at this gem!

Pleasantly surprised when I stumbled on this gem! Super glad I did. Wait wasn’t too long (it was a weekday though) sandwiches were great and we also enjoyed the croquettes. Favorite thing I hade was an iced mocha latte. Service was speedy but never felt rushed. Bookmarked for sure

My fiancé and I recently went here, and we LOVED IT!!! We thought the vibes were amazing and tbh the prices were pretty good too. We moved to Miami from LA about a year ago, and LA has a big cozy coffee shop culture where you can sit down and work for hours at a cafe. We’ve been struggling to find places like that in Miami. And even though I don’t think you can pull hours of work at Tinta y Cafe, it definitely feels as cozy as the ones we used to go to in LA.

Nothing here is Cuban. It's more geared towards American Coffee. Everyone was nice and place is very small don't expect to bring the family, there isn't much room for more then a Family of 4 maybe 5. O

Stopped here on my last day in town and wish it had been the first. The coffee was great, the food was great, and whoever decided to give you water while you wait…. We thank you. Got the Nutella croissant, and the Cuban they were 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I stayed for a week in Hialeah and this was the place that I enjoyed visiting everyday. Top level authentic service, the best coffee served with love, and positive energy. I loved everything there.

Absolutely Delicious… #fritacubana LenaGinc

My husband and I have cherished this gem since we first started dating, a tradition spanning over a decade. The staff is very attentive & over the years we have gotten to know them. They always ask about our family or remember something we have shared in the past. It’s truly a community in here. If you are looking for delicious authentic Cuban food, this is a must visit!

Best Cuban food in the area! Morro Castle is a hidden gem at the heart of Hialeah. The food is flavourful and made fresh, and the place is very well kept and inviting. The owners are super friendly and accommodating. Thank you for your hospitality always!

Order some food tonight and the quality of food was horrendous to say the least. I ordered the chicken soup and grilled chicken with rice and beans. The soup literally had no chicken just little residue of whatever left I assume. Upon arriving to the establishment, they had my order sitting in the front on the counter. You’d think a take-out order would be in a specific area to maintain the temperature. Go elsewhere if you want actual food. I threw all the food away after recording this video. Best part, I paid $28.40 for this lousy food. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Restaurant feels like the 90s nostalgic. Order a Frita, Tamal, masitas de puerco.

Drove 15 miles to experience this iconic restaurant in Hialeah. Been around since 1966. Had to try there moro and churros con chocolate. Loved it! And the tamal en hoja... well... la hoja was the only thing left. The food was delish!!

What an incredible experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting — dim lighting, great vibes, and plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. Our server Yadira was absolutely amazing — one of the friendliest and most genuine waiters I’ve ever met. She made us feel right at home and gave great recommendations. The manager even surprised us with a free flan, which was such a kind and thoughtful gesture. I ordered the Braised Flank Steak (Vaca Frita a la Campesina) — it was unbelievably tender and full of flavor, one of the best Cuban dishes I’ve ever had. My wife ordered the double cheeseburger with bacon, drenched in glorious melted cheese and surrounded by a moat of crispy fries — pure perfection. The bar has a big variety of drinks to choose from, making it a perfect spot for both dinner and cocktails. If you’re in Miami or South Beach looking for authentic Cuban food, friendly service, and a relaxed, beautiful setting — La Mulata is a must-visit!

Amazing experience at La Mulata Cuban Restaurant! We stopped in to celebrate a birthday and had an unforgettable night. The food was absolutely delicious from the Paella Habanera to the Lechon Asado, every bite was full of authentic Cuban flavor. The Mojitos and Cuban Libres were on point, and the desserts (especially the Tres Leches and Chocolate Lava Cake) were the perfect ending. Our server Diane was fantastic and made sure everything ran smoothly. The vibe was lively, warm, and full of good energy, perfect for a special occasion or just a great night out in Miami Beach. Highly recommend it for anyone who loves Cuban food or wants a fun, flavorful experience. 🌴🇨🇺

Absolutely loved my experience at La Mulata! The food was delicious, full of authentic Cuban flavors, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere felt warm and lively, perfect for a relaxed dinner. A special shout-out to our waitress Diane, who was truly wonderful. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. Her recommendations were spot-on — we loved everything she suggested. She really made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this place, and especially Diane’s service! 🌟✨

We had an amazing time at La Mulata Cuban Restaurant. The service was excellent from start to finish — our server was very attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious. We made a reservation ahead of time, and as soon as we arrived, the host greeted us warmly and seated us right away, which set a great tone for the evening. Everything about the experience felt smooth and welcoming. Highly recommend La Mulata if you’re looking for authentic Cuban flavors and top-notch service!

The waitresses and waiters here have great energy. The food and drinks were also very delicious. We got the Abuelas tostons and pan fried eggs, I would definitely recommend giving them a try and will be back.

My husband and I went here for dinner/date night while on vacation. The Sangria and mojitos are delicious! We had the appetizer special combo and flank steak and both were amazing! This was my first time trying Cuban food and now I’m obsessed. Our server Gabriel was provided us with excellent service and great recommendations for food and drinks. Highly recommend you go here. If we come back to Miami, we will for sure be back here!

A fun Cuban restaurant right in the heart of South Beach. Lively atmosphere, upbeat live music, and a warm, welcoming vibe. A great spot to enjoy the island spirit without leaving Miami — perfect for anyone looking for good energy, classic Cuban flavors, and a memorable night out.

Service was excellent. Our server was attentive, and the lady at the entrance made us feel very welcome. The ambience was lovely, and we understand that is part of what we paid for. Unfortunately, the food did not meet expectations. The taste was just okay, and the portion size was surprisingly small. We actually had to stop somewhere else afterward because we were still hungry, yet the place does not feel luxurious enough to justify the price. We ordered a grandma style ropa vieja and a salad with added chicken, but the chicken came in just a few tiny pieces. No drinks, no appetizers, no dessert, just those two items, and we spent almost $70 for very basic food. Even though it is probably not a TOURIST TRAP, I felt underwhelmed considering what we received and the ambience. I do not understand how the rating is 4.9 stars on Google reviews. Gratuity (20%) was automatically added to our bill for a table of two, along with a prompt for an additional tip. I did not mind, as the service truly was excellent, but it was a bit unique to see an extra tip prompt when 20 percent had already been added automatically, especially for a party of fewer than five.

We wanted to try Cuban seafood and chose this restaurant because of its great reviews — and it did not disappoint! Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel very welcome. The octopus I ordered was amazingly flavorful, and the cherry tomatoes added a perfect touch that brought the dish to life. The beef tacos were delicious too, with fresh avocado that made each bite so satisfying. The sliders we ordered for the kids were great, and the paella was beautifully made — it even reminded my husband of his grandmother’s cooking! Everything tasted so authentic and full of heart. Just a heads-up: we were told that their tap is unfiltered, so you’ll need to purchase bottled water (about $10). And a 20% gratuity is already included. South Beach thing pricing! Overall, a wonderful dining experience with genuine flavors and great service.

We had such a great experience at Havana Vieja! The service was amazing—our server was super attentive, full of great energy, and gave spot-on recommendations. The TikTok videos did not lie—the Mango Mojito was absolutely delicious. Hands down the best mojito I’ve ever had—so fresh and perfectly balanced! We started with the octopus appetizer, which was tender and flavorful, and the paella was not only fresh but came in a huge portion that was perfect for sharing (and leftovers!). Everything from the vibe to the flavors made this a standout meal. We’ll definitely be back!

Honestly had such high hopes for this place since it has so many reviews and is rated so highly, but was utterly disappointed. First, the seating is outside only, there is no inside seating available at all. Given the climate in Miami it's often desirable to sit inside with AC, this is not an option here. All the tables and chairs are packed in here. You have to ask the person behind you to scoot in just to be able to get in or out of your chair. All those close body heat doesn't help either. Now the food... We started with the appetizer combo which comes with a little bit of everything. All of it was pretty mud at best, the meatball was the best item. Also got the grilled octopus that was severely overcooked and rubbery. For our mains we got the crispy pork chunks, which came out cold and was not crispy at all. Ropa vieja which was good but not very tender and still pretty tough. Seafood lobster (enchilado de mariscos) which was good, had a lot of seafood, but the lobster was placed meat side down in the broth and was overcooked by the time I got it. In fact all of the seafood was overcooked and tough. Also got the Caribbean garlic shrimp which was probably the best item we had. The service was the best part about this place. Very attentive, although we never got water refills. Our server tried his best to entertain us and chat with us a lot and genuinely seemed to have fun and enjoy his job. Overall I would give this place a 3.5 stars in total but it's not enough for me to round up to a 4. It would have been a 3.0 if not for the good service we got. I don't think I would recommend this place or even come back again.

Not bad! It's certainly got some vibe and atmosphere, especially at night. Pretty good service, food likewise pretty solid. I just wouldn't necessarily say that it's clearly better than other options in the area (of which there are many!) There is a place a few blocks down that I think has a bit better fried snapper. Still, I could certainly see coming back here; really no complaints. Worth a shout.

Havana-Vieja is the real deal. Absolutely the best Cuban food I’ve ever had. I had the Cuban Sandwich and was hands down the best thing I’ve ever eaten! I guess except the Empanadas!! If you want a true journey into culinary excellence, you must get the Empanadas with the dipping sauce. Perfection!! But I think what made it the best was our server Jordan. What a great experience he provided for us and his personality and welcoming demeanor made our lunch the best part of our trip to Miami Beach. Havana-Vieja is a must go for anyone who wants an authentic and delicious trip to Cuba right here in America. We came back before our flight home and again, this time for brunch, and it was of course amazing. We had the pleasure of meeting Paula our server who couldn’t have been more charming. I also really love the energy the entire team has and I think the manager is a big influence on that. She’s so warm and supportive of her team and that makes for a great experience for us the customer. We WILL be back.

Ate breakfast and lunch here today with my family. Food is simple and simply amazing. Service was spectacular. My daughter had the breakfast cheeseburger. It was super size and super yummy! At lunch we shared a cuban sandwich and the corn tamal . The corn tamal was a meld of flavors. I love the flower petal garnish! Jordan is the best! He kept our glasses full and watched over all our needs. Quickly clearing plates with a smile. Music is just loud enough for fun and conversation.

This place was an absolute gem! Make sure to visit whenever you’re in Miami. I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance while on a coffee tour. I wasn’t too impressed with the coffee next door, but I’m glad I decided to give this place a try. The food was amazing, and the coffee was excellent! I had a perfectly made Cuban.

Excellent service and food. Eating outside is a must. So relaxing. Had brunch with steak eggs Benedict and it was tasty and filling. Passion fruit drink is tasty!!! Don't hesitate, eat here!

Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. Our first time stopping here and we can't way to go back . The service was very fast , the waitress did a fantastic job. We absolutely loved it

The traditional breakfast one with fries and one with home fries. What I loved most was the Cuban toast but it was a bit too much for one person. Great experience excellent art work in the building as well. A must visit …

My partner and I stopped at this restaurant for dinner. Its concept is similar to a classic American diner, but with Latin vibes and a Latin-inspired menu, which I really liked. The restaurant has a large indoor space, plus an outdoor terrace with many tables. In addition, there’s an open takeaway window on one side, where people can buy Cuban coffee and other small items. We decided to sit inside. The restaurant was very clean, and all the furniture looked to be in great condition. Two waitresses came to take our order - one didn’t speak much English, so the other translated for her. This was totally fine, as both ladies were extremely nice and sweet. The Spanish-speaking waitress was super attentive for the rest of our stay. She was always around, checked on our food and refills a couple of times, and brought the bill right when we asked for it. Great service! The restaurant menu is large and offers a good variety of food - mostly Cuban dishes. We wanted to try a few things, so we ordered four tapas: Beef Empanada + Ham & Cheese Empanada, Croquettes, Yuca Fries and Shrimp Ceviche. All of the food came out at once and pretty fast; we waited only about 10 minutes. The ham croquettes came in four pieces, served with a sauce that had a sweet flavor, somewhat similar to BBQ sauce. We liked the croquettes, and the sauce paired well with them. I had the ham & cheese empanada, and my partner had the beef empanada. We both agreed that the empanadas were tasty. By the way, I originally wanted the beef empanada too, but I asked if it had olives, and since it did, I skipped it, as I don’t like olives. The yuca fries were very nice, and the portion was big! They came with garlic aioli on the side, which was very tasty. Last but not least, the shrimp ceviche was super delicious! Out of all four tapas, it was definitely my favorite. The ceviche had so much flavor! The shrimp were super fresh! The portion was generous; they definitely didn’t skimp on shrimp. It also came with banana chips on the side, which was a great touch. To drink, I ordered watermelon juice, and it was absolutely fantastic - so fresh, flavorful, and tasty! I felt extremely happy drinking it. Our final bill for everything was $41, which I thought was reasonable. I especially want to highlight the $8.99 shrimp ceviche - an amazing deal for a large portion of fresh shrimp! I highly recommend ordering the shrimp ceviche as a starter; you won’t regret it. Overall, the menu prices were very affordable and reasonable. Another plus of this business is that there are plenty of parking spots around the restaurant. But the only downside for me is the location - it’s quite far from Miami center (where I live). The only way for me to get there is by driving, and from Midtown it’s at least a 15-minute drive. Because of the location, this isn’t a place I would visit regularly. Unfortunately! But I definitely wish to return to this place soon and eat there again. And I 100% recommend everyone visit this restaurant at least once. I’m sure you won’t regret it!

Excellent tacos and the watermelon juice was more than worth it. I was going to get one of the Cuban sandwiches but the tacos caught my eye with the cilantro slaw and seasoned steak and it turned out to be some of the best tacos I’ve tried

Just a walk away from the Hotel, where breakfast is NOT complementary, this is the place to go for your morning meal. The price along should be an eye catcher. Latin Café offers Cuban style breakfast with the options of classic American style.

We visited for our anniversary and stopped in right after arriving in town. Our waitress, Sahili, was incredibly kind and attentive. Service was excellent from start to finish. I loved my drink; the passion fruit flavor really came through and it looked beautiful too. The empanadas were packed with flavor. I tried others around town during our stay and none compared. The Cuban sandwich was also delicious, and the large was perfect for sharing. Truly a great start to our trip. 9/10.

Delicious food and drinks! Everything was so flavorful-we wanted to try everything but our table was so full already! Our server was so nice and helpful too-we got to take home yummy leftovers and ate them all the following day! Truly a wonderful spot for dinner!

(…and I’d give it 10 if I could!) We had such an amazing experience at Sazón Cubano! First of all, the staff was incredible — super friendly, fast, and genuinely caring. They answered all our questions patiently and made us feel so welcome. The atmosphere of the restaurant is lovely — great music, cozy décor, and an overall vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer. It’s such a perfect spot to enjoy a good meal. Now, the food… WOW! 🥪✨ Hands down, the best Cuban Sandwich in all of Miami Beach. The portion was huge — so big my husband and I had to share it, and it was still plenty for both of us. Every bite was just perfect. For dessert, we had the flan de coco, and honestly, the texture was like biting into a cloud ☁️ — soft, creamy, and absolutely delicious. No improvement suggestions at all — just a heartfelt thank you to the whole team for an unforgettable dinner. We’ll definitely be back!

Great food. Definitely make a reservation! We waited regardless and the food for worthy. My only complaint was being seated where I was being dripped on from the umbrella due to rain. There wasn’t anything else available.

Amazing Cuban style food for any taste and pocket, great service and music - happy hours and live music - everything you need for your vacation! I did not even have to add any spices or salt. Their shank of lamb was amazing, and I had it with black beans and Yuka - perfectly cooked! Definitely coming back for more!

Well to start of the host told us there where no available seats that it would be a 15 min wait so we asked to wait by bar then asked again how long it would be then because we agreed to wait by bar the wait time went up to half an hour then when I complained it was available immediately. The asked for the red snapper because I’ve been wanting it being that I’m at beach it would go great with atmosphere but this place totally got it wrong they just serve you a fried fish which don’t even think it was a red snapper no taste what so ever no prior defrost or seasoning my wife had the ropa vieja and needless to say also rough and not tasty would I will not recommend and definitely won’t be back ! Very bad service and the food not at all worth the hassle and trip !and the coffee is not good and they will try to give you cold milk with coffee to not even try !

First time here. Food was outstanding!!!! Service was very good as well. Clean elegant and outdoor seating with live music as well. Loved every bit of the vibe

I got the breakfast combo. Which I read as you get salad with Sandwich of a choice of Turkey or Veg, but my sandwich has nothing but butter. And lil bits of Turkey seemed mixed in over cooked eggs. And filled with chips. This really wasn't what I expected for a Turkey sandwich with eggs.

A wonderful local food experience. For my first time in Miami it was unbeatable with delicious food, and incredible prices. I got the Spanish sandwich, Croqueta Casa, and Colombian Meat empanada with a mango smoothie.

The service was good, the fresh juice was good, the empanadas were delicious.... their sandwiches (especially the Cuban one) was only okay. They also cut it lengthwise, which made it kind of hard to eat that way.

It’s been my favorite spot for so many years! The cortadito, empanadas, full meals, and fresh juices are the best I’ve found in Miami and Miami Beach. The team is always so kind, a reflection of Anita, who has been leading this place for over 30 years. Starting the day at Las Olas is truly a ritual. In the picture is my go-to juice — carrot, apple, and ginger — it’s so good! But I highly recommend trying them all and finding your own favorite. 🧡

Great neighborhood Cuban cafe for the locals! Of course had to venture out just a little bit to visit and the food had that taste from home. Packed w/ locals and a few tourists, the breakfast combo I ordered was generous with fluffy eggs. I ordered ham and paid $2.60 extra to add veggies (tomato, onion, and green pepper). Initially it was a bit confusing why this is extra, but it made sense when thinking about Cuban food which generally doesn’t have this kind of veggies. And it comes with coffee by which they mean espresso, but I changed it to Cortadito because I love me some Smokey bold Cuban Cortadito! It was strong in the best way, and fragrant. Add un poco de azúcar and you’re off to the races! Wife commented her croissant was much better than more expensive bakery we went to the prior day, and iced coffee wasn’t too watered down (ask for little ice and sugar) like most iced coffees we’ve had in Latino cafes so far. Outside seating was pleasant though you may have local uncles smoking a pack at the next table but wasn’t bad w/ the breeze & shade. Don’t waste your money going to $20/meal cafes closer to ocean drive… just walk a block to here and enjoy better food at better price + mingle w/ locals.

This was one of the most disappointing experiences I have had. I received extremely poor customer service from a lady with short hair and glasses. She served me cold coffee, and when I politely mentioned it, she became defensive, raised her voice, and grabbed the cup from me. I usually enjoy coming to this location, but after this encounter, I don’t feel comfortable returning anytime soon. Her behavior was rude and disrespectful.

I’ve been coming to this restaurant for years and have always enjoyed it — it’s a well-known spot that’s been around since 1995. Unfortunately, today’s experience was terrible. I arrived around 9 a.m. on November 11, 2025, and was assisted by a young lady with a nose ring. I ordered eggs, bacon, potatoes, and an orange juice. After I paid and waited for my food, she came back to tell me they didn’t have bacon — and she said it in a rude way, like she really didn’t care. She offered me ham or sausage instead, but I don’t like either of those options. When the food finally came, I received two very small pieces of sausage even though I never agreed to that substitution. On top of that, they forgot my orange juice. I went to the bar to ask about it, and the staff just said “okay.” I went back to my seat to wait, but no one ever brought it to me or even called me to let me know it was ready. Throughout the entire experience, the lady never apologized or offered any kind of refund. She just repeated, “no bacon, you can choose ham or sausage.” The lack of courtesy and professionalism was very disappointing. In the end, I left the food and walked out. It was a disrespectful and frustrating experience, and sadly, I don’t think I’ll be coming back.

We came to Kiki on the River to celebrate our daughter’s 21st birthday, and it definitely delivered on the experience. The atmosphere was electric — a vibrant mix of Greek, Middle Eastern, Latin, and house music made it feel like a party straight out of the Mediterranean. It was lively, upscale, and full of energy. The service was truly five-star. Our server, Natalia, was warm, attentive, and refreshingly low-pressure — not at all pushy like you might expect at some trendy Miami spots. She made us feel well taken care of without upselling us every step of the way. We ordered a variety of dishes and especially enjoyed the octopus, lamb chops and pasta. That said, be prepared for sticker shock. What tasted like a $30 pasta was priced closer to $100. While the food was good, it definitely didn’t justify the high price tag — you’re really paying for the vibe and scene more than the cuisine. After dinner, we moved to the bar area, which was an absolute blast. It felt like being transported to a beach club in Greece — which made for some interesting people watching. If that’s your thing, this place is gold. Would I go back? Yes — but mostly for the drinks, the music, and the unforgettable atmosphere. Just don’t expect to leave without spending at least $700-$1000 for a typical group.

I was thoroughly impressed. From the moment we arrived, the service was seamless. We were promptly greeted and seated. (We had Reservations) The food was outstanding—each dish was beautifully presented and rich in flavor. It’s clear that great care goes into both the preparation and the ingredients. I’m already looking forward to returning to explore more of the menu. With its elegant ambiance, impeccable service, and exquisite cuisine, Kiki on the River truly delivers a memorable dining experience.

Kiki on the River is definitely a scene,lively, beautiful, and full of energy. The atmosphere leans more toward a party than a dinner, with music, sparklers, and an overall festive crowd. It’s a great spot if you’re in the mood for a social, high-energy evening. That said, the service was mediocre and didn’t quite match the upscale vibe. The food was decent, but not particularly memorable. The oddest part of the night was being seated, as a party of two, at a large six-person table that directly faced the kitchen. It felt awkward and out of place given the rest of the ambiance. Overall, Kiki is worth a visit for the experience and atmosphere, but not necessarily for the food or service. It’s more of a “come for the vibe” destination than a true dining experience

I finally carved out a night to visit Kiki on the River, and it absolutely delivered on the scene and the hype. Having secured a reservation (which is a must), the service was seamless from the moment we arrived. The staff were instantly attentive; our servers, like Natasha and Lazaro, worked in perfect sync to ensure a flawless and memorable night. The service was surprisingly low-pressure and genuinely five-star. The atmosphere is undeniably the main event. It’s an electric scene—less a quiet dinner and more an upscale party, complete with sparklers and a vibrant mix of Greek and house music. It truly feels like being instantly transported to a Mykonos beach club—it’s lively, elegant, and full of energy. This high-energy environment is gold, especially if you’re celebrating a birthday or special occasion. The food was outstanding and beautifully presented. We indulged in a variety of dishes, including the octopus, lamb chops, and rich pasta. While every dish was delicious, be prepared for significant sticker shock. This is a high-ticket experience, and you’re absolutely paying a premium for the unparalleled vibe and atmosphere over the cuisine itself. The quality of the drinks, the unforgettable scenery, and the exceptional service make the splurge worthwhile. I'm already looking forward to going back for the energy and the ultimate Miami scene.

We stumbled upon Kiki on the River for a birthday dinner, as another restaurant nearby wouldn't allow entry due to missing 1 person from our group due to an emergency. We were immediately brought in with welcome shots which were tasty. We ordered the filet mignon, skewer kebabs, cocktail shrimps and a side of fries. We also had a total of 4 drinks. Although everything was overpriced it was delicious, minus the fries; we didn't even eat them. The atmosphere was great, with good music and entertainment. Our bill came and it was $412 with a service charge of 22% plus tax, which is also written at the bottom of the menu. We felt that was more than a reasonable charge as service was otherwise great. When we went to pay, we split the bill by 3, I paid last and added another $15 as I really enjoyed my time. As I paid the server became aggressive and said that my friends didn't tip, and I stated the bill already had a 22% service charge. He then went to my other friend and harassed her for a tip saying we needed to tip him. He cornered her, and as she didn't want to cause any trouble she gave an additional $20. This honestly ruined the mood of the night.

Five stars for an unforgettable night at Kiki on the River. The service was genuinely warm and attentive from the moment of check-in to the final goodbye, the atmosphere was pure Miami magic with waterfront views and upbeat music, and the food delivered bright Mediterranean flavors that matched the setting perfectly. ServiceThe staff kept everything flowing smoothly even during a lively evening, checking in at the right moments without hovering and keeping the energy fun and celebratory throughout the night. Small touches stood out, from prompt drink refills to quick help with recommendations, which made the whole experience feel effortless and welcoming . AtmosphereThe riverside setting is stunning—watching yachts glide by while the DJ builds a Mykonos-style vibe makes dinner feel like an event, with festive music, napkin-waving, and a party feel that ramps up on weekends. Whether seated indoors among the chic decor or on the outdoor deck catching the breeze, the ambiance hits that sweet spot of stylish, energetic, and quintessentially Miami.

I was thoroughly impressed. From the moment we arrived, the service was seamless. We were promptly greeted and seated. (We had Reservations) The food was outstanding—each dish was beautifully presented and rich in flavor. It’s clear that great care goes into both the preparation and the ingredients. I’m already looking forward to returning to explore more of the menu. With its elegant ambiance, impeccable service, and exquisite cuisine, Kiki on the River truly delivers a memorable dining experience.

Amazing thin, crispy, and simple pizza! Barely any grease, absolutely no flop. I ordered via DoorDash so it sat for a trip and still was great. Almost impossible to try in NYC!

A local guy told us about the place while walking a crosswalk. By far the best pizza I have ever had. Hands down. The flavor was so fresh. I pretty much could have eaten the entire thing by myself. It was definitely worth riding a bike across the island to enjoy it. They also had a live DJ playing music.

Food is always top-notch, simple menu with high-quality ingredients. The kale caesar is among the best I’ve tried. However, it seems that they continue to jack up the prices. $17 for a fairly basic Tuscan wine seems a bit excessive.

This is 5 stars +++ The pictures say enough. Several good pizzerias in Miami but this offers so much more. Calzones are the best, chicken parm, wings finished in the wood burning oven, meatballs are extraordinary, salad options and homemade desserts.

All I can say is, wow! Tried getting into the Brooklyn location but the wait times were 3 hours. This past week | was down in Miami Beach and decided to give this location a try and I am so glad that I did! Not sure if it was because of the tropical storm but getting in was a breeze. No wait. We walked right in. Sat down and was greeted very kindly by waitress. Kept it simple and went with cheese. Legit the pizza was out in less than 5 minutes! Pipping hot and basil was super fresh! Their crust has a phenomenal chew and taste they put just the right amount of sauce, which is nice and acidic. I recommend using the hot oil. Make sure to ask for it when you get the pizza. Gives it a nice kick! Pizza was amazing and I enjoyed my experience start to finish. Was in and out within 30 mins. 100% recommend!

They had a private event when we arrived but were still able to accomdate us. Great service! The pizza here is a must try!

I’m not a review writer by any means, and I’m definitely not one of those keyboard warriors looking to nitpick. My wife and I have long enjoyed Lucali in Sunset Harbour for its New York-style pizza, a welcome departure from the Italian-style pies dominating Miami Beach. However, our recent visit with my dad left us with mixed feelings. The pizza is undeniably delicious but comes with a steep price tag—a plain cheese pizza starts at $32, with toppings from $4 to $12, easily pushing a single pie over $50. At that cost, you expect a flawless experience, but this visit fell short. The pepperoni chips ($12) were a highlight, perfectly crispy with a side of hot honey, but we were surprised by an additional $2.25 charge for the honey. The server insisted it “comes with it,” yet charging separately contradicts that claim. I later noticed the online menu lists most items about $2 cheaper than in-restaurant, which felt misleading. On a positive note, the kale Caesar salad was exceptional—likely the best on the Beach—with chewy, slightly undercooked croutons that stood out compared to the usual powdery croutons elsewhere. Service was slightly above Miami’s typical standard but had hiccups. My dad’s glass of wine tasted sour and was replaced with a beer, yet the wine remained on the bill until we pointed it out. More troubling, my wife found a 3-inch piece of thin plastic in her pizza, resembling a fishbone but definitely plastic (odd, since Lucali doesn’t serve fish). The server informed the manager, who notified the kitchen, but no one followed up with us. Coming from Chicago, I’m accustomed to managers addressing such issues with a gesture like a complimentary dessert. While we had plenty of food for three and wouldn’t have needed it, an acknowledgment would’ve shown accountability. I understand restaurants may be cautious about customers exploiting complaints, but that shouldn’t excuse overlooking genuine issues. Overall, Lucali’s pizza is unique and tasty, but the premium prices don’t fully align with the experience. Places like Pizzette and Pummarola offer comparable or better pizza at a fraction of the cost with similar service. We’ll likely return quarterly only to use our AMEX $100 Resy credit for the nostalgia of overpriced New York-style pizza, but with tempered expectations.

Like all art, the enjoyment you're going to get out of the museum is subjective. There were a few exhibits and artists I enjoyed but most of it just didn't connect with me, felt too hodgepodge. Also, $15 for 1.5 floors is a bit steep imo. Even going super slowly and reading almost every card, you're done in about an hour.

We received free access to the Bass museum as part of the resort fee amenities for our stay at the W hotel. The museum is a gem, and has multiple different exhibits, all with beautiful and highly original art. Definitely recommend a visit!

The Bass Museum is located just a short walk from the beach in South Beach, making it an easy and enjoyable stop if you’re exploring the area. It’s a modern museum featuring contemporary art, with spacious, bright galleries and rotating exhibitions that keep things fresh and interesting. The museum isn’t particularly large, but it offers a great experience overall. There are certain days when admission is free, which makes it an even better deal. The gift shop is also really cool — definitely worth checking out before you leave. I’d highly recommend The Bass to art lovers or anyone looking for a great indoor activity on a rainy day in Miami.

Unique museum exhibiting art and South Beach at its best. Really worth visiting on a lazy summer day. Outdoor concerts in summer. Best place to park is Collins Parking Garage, 340 23rd street, right across from the Museum.

I had such a great time visiting The Bass during my trip to Miami Beach. The building itself is stunning — the Art Deco design immediately caught my eye before I even stepped inside. The galleries are beautifully laid out, and I loved how the museum mixes historic works with bold, modern pieces. One of the highlights for me was seeing the contemporary art installations. They were creative, thought-provoking, and honestly made me see things in a new way. The museum isn’t huge, which I actually liked — it felt easy to explore without being overwhelming. I also really appreciated the staff. Everyone was friendly and willing to answer questions, and they even gave me tips about upcoming events and family days. I ended my visit in the museum shop, which had some unique art-inspired gifts you don’t find anywhere else. If you’re in Miami Beach and want a break from the typical tourist spots, The Bass is definitely worth a visit. It’s inspiring, welcoming, and gives you a deeper sense of the city’s culture.

Honestly...it's a nice building, but the exhibitions can be seen in half an hour. The telescope room is nice and colorful, the rest is not really worth to be seen. Thought about offering them my pictures! At least I didn't have to pay for this, because I got the museums pass!

It's a very cool small museum. I loved the combination of modern and classic art. Also, the pieces by Ulla von Brandenburg and Rachel Feinstein were interesting. The superb atmosphere felt like a huge invitation to see and experience the different pieces. The staff was very friendly and actively asked if we had questions.

Ordered a steak sandwich and although the service was quick the food was atrocious…. Steak had no flavor, and the presentation did not resemble anything of what a steak sandwich should look like. Super lazily put together, they threw chunks of steak on Cuban bread with tomato that was old and should have been thrown out 3 days ago. Used to eat here every now and then but the quality has really taken a nose dive….. disappointing

This place is always bomb. I have lunch once a week depending on my budget. But I can tell you never under served service is great food fresh pricing perfect. Super fast and most important they always put your bread utensils sauces never have to ask and it’s never missing. Thank you

Modern restaurant with outdoor and indoor seating and a bar and counter. All things pork including some of the most tender and flavorful lechon asado (roast pork Cuban style) in South florida. Service is traditional and excellent - Gracias Tamara!

Elianni was our host at the table she was courteous and did do a nice recommend to one of our group. They even have a bar you can sit at that serves wine and beer. It’s a very nice designed restaurant the food portion is big that you take home.

Great chicken soup and ribs and shredded pork! Great variety appetizers all the great things the restaurant has to offer. Come and visit worth the 💰 money.

The food was delicious! Highly recommend

This Appetizer was everything!!! Sausage, chicharron, fried cheese and arepitas. It was so good! Definitely a plate to share. And if you are like me who just wants to pick on something...then this alone makes for a main dish. Very well served for the price.

Absolutely loved this place! Romantic atmosphere and very unique and innovative food! Very delicious steak, unique drinks, and their sushi was like fusion of south American and Japanese flavors. So glad we stumbled upon this place!

I live very close to Miami Beach and had seen this place multiple times, but never gone inside; that changed a few days ago. I visited this place on a Sunday evening. The decor in the restaurante is magnificent. Lovely place. The food and service were on point! Our server was very knowledgable and kept checking on us and made sure that our visit was one to remember. I had the "Churrasco A Lo Pobre" and my wife had the ceviche. The food came out extremely fast. To be fair, the place was not super crowded since it was raining a lot that evening. The steak was juicy and cooked medium just I as asked. The congri (white rice and black beans) was so flavorful and with the runny egg on top, it just made the whole thing more delicious. The ceviche presentation was something I've never seen before and my wife enjoyed it very much! Lastly, we ordered a dessert (cannot remember the name); they don't have a dessert menu. The desert had some dulce de leche and it was very tasty! I recommend this place! I'll definitely be back and try their chaufa next time!

My husband and I went to celebrate our 9th anniversary and it was by the best food we have ever had! Roxana was phenomenal. We got the felices los 4 which we were able to choose 2 ceviches, a jalea and lobster. Drinks were incredible. They pulled out all the stops!

Wow! My husband visited Yuca 105 two years ago and has been raving about it ever since. He insisted we had to go on our recent trip to Miami, and it did not disappoint! The experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We had the yuca ceviche and the vaca frita, and both dishes were bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. You can taste the quality and care in every bite. We will be telling all of our friends that this is a must-visit spot in Miami. We can't wait to come back!

My second time to Miami, and the food is becoming an even bigger draw than the weather or beaches. This place should not be missed. We ordered 2 of the recommended cocktails, traditional ceviche, and the tartar en playa guanabo as appetizers. Exceptional. Do not pass these up. I ordered the tacu tacu mero mero macho, with the rice and grouper being very good but the crustaceans less so. They seemed to be frozen prior to cooking. My wife ordered the lomojo congri and was thoroughly pleased. Dessert was espresso martini and the guava-like peruvian fruit, which was not too sweet yet very tasty. My wife, a Japanese foodie to her core, told me at the end of the meal that if she ever were to have a party in Miami, it would be here due to the delicious food and excellent decor. Next time we are in Miami, we will be back.

What a lovely surprise! We went there for dinner, and it was amazing. The place has beautiful decor, great music, and a fantastic atmosphere. Marcos’ service was truly the cherry on top—so attentive and friendly. And the food? Absolutely delicious—muy, muy rica!

Absolutely amazing! We were served by Daniela who recommended the pork dish which was out of this world. There was so much food we couldn’t finish, and the prices were affordable considering the portions! The octopus appetizer was to die for, we will most definitely be coming back for our next visit

Fantastic sushi - fusion restaurant! We tried a few different rolls that were amazing! We tried: The White Hot, Acebichado, Bigeye Tuna, Yellowtail, and Rokera Rolls. They were amazing. Something different, but worth it! We also had the Lechee Coco Martini, you must try it. Service was fantastic! Lauren was our waitress, and guided us in this adventure. You have to check this place out!

The food is fine. Great service and ambiance. I recommend this place. They have good prices.

Love the experience came for restaurant week everything was delicious and the server was amazing Iveth ❤️❤️She was the bestttt. Give her a raise!!!

Ordered a take out and am very disappointed. The sushi arrived without soy sauce or wasabi. Tried calling but got an automated message and zero callback. For the price being charged it’s not worth it. There’s a lot better options in the area.

Great place to visit at the Brickell City Centre, comfy and the atmosphere is just fantastic. Elvis has given us the best service, the staff is friendly and welcoming. Food 10/10, drinks 50/10.

Incredible!!!! Every roll was delicious! We got the aburi sake, acevichado and the rockshrimp roll and the salmon taco

It’s been our second time at Pubbelly & it’s always such a great experience! We always have the “drunken whale” saki, but today we had the short rib dumplings, the big eye tuna roll & the acevichado roll. All super delicious & our server, Ricardo, was great! Super attentive, patient, and informed us of the weekly specials. Would recommend to any and everyone!

Stopped by Sala’o for lunch and had Alexis as my server. He was super friendly and quick with service, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. He recommended a couple of great options that hit the spot, and the food came out fast and fresh. Alexis made sure I had everything I needed without me having to ask. Great lunch experience — I’ll definitely be back.

This was recommended by a guide on our walking food tour. I am so glad we came and tried it for lunch. The food was delicious! Alfredo taught my wife to salsa while we waited for our food. Roxana was our server and she was very attentive and helpful. If you get a chance, definitely get the ceviche and one (or two) mojitos!

Absolutely delicious food and an awesome atmosphere! The vibe is energetic yet relaxed — perfect for enjoying great Cuban flavors with friends. The portions are generous, and the prices are just right, especially for the quality and presentation. Special shoutout to Roxana, who made the experience even better with her warm, attentive service and great recommendations. She made us feel welcome from start to finish. Highly recommend Salao — it’s the perfect spot for good food, good music, and good energy!

Absolutely amazing food and very generous portions served. The decor is modern chic, with a separate cigar lounge area, and live music. Service was very slow, waitress didn't pay much attention to our needs, took a long time to check on us and to get the check. Outside tables are too small. A photographer asks to take photos, then later tries to sell them in frames without prior warning. Overall, for food great experience,but not so much for service and intrusion from photographer.

Recently visited the area to celebrate birthday and anniversary. This was the perfect place to celebrate my husband's birthday. Welcoming staff, great music and atmosphere. Alexis , our server, was adorable, entertaining and very helpful. Our appetizers, entrees and desserts were wonderful. We had an incredible evening, thanks to to the entire staff.

It was awesome! The live music, the entire vibe was great! First time visiting Miami and so glad we stopped in. The food was delicious, drinks good as well. It’s my 50th birthday today. The chocolate dessert was awesome! Keyla waited on us and she was great as well.

Had an amazing time here. It was very lively, the food was amazing, and it generally was as good as everyone said it would be. Special shout outs to Patricia! She really made sure we had a good time. Was super attentive, sweet, and fast.

I took my mom here since she loves Cuban food and the reviews are great for this place so my expectations were high. The service was friendly and great. Plenty of parking which was a plus as well. The food was fire 🔥 it was better than I expected and I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to eat good Cuban food!

It's the second time I've been to this place and I really liked it. It is clean, with every detail taken care of, good attention from its workers, specifically Abel, I think it was the guy who attended us, very professional. The chicken soup like at home, the fried chicken was very tasty just like the momilla. An excellent place with Cuban food to taste.

The supposed Ajiaco (more like beef stew n carrots) was not good and served on a broken bowl. The $1.50 each fritura de bacalao were dime size fish nuggets not bacalao. Awful. The yuca frita didn't have yuca but a paste resembling it. This is not fine dining more like fast food very pricey. Leaves a lot to be desired not worth the money plus extremely cold ac, uncomfortably so. This is not Cuban Cuisine, unless you've never had the real thing. Looks good from far but FAR from good. Not worth it.

🎶 “Ode to La Casita” 🎶 Oh La Casita, what a find! Where flavor dances, peace of mind. Forget Versailles — that’s old design, Your picadillo? Purely divine. The lemonade — homemade art, Sweet and tart, it stole my heart. And service? A flawless team ballet, Three or four helping right away. Since 1990, they’ve stayed true, Family pride in all they do. So here’s my rhyme, a thankful cheer — La Casita’s the best you’ll find this year!

As a Cuban, I know Cuban food inside and out—and to be honest, it's not the most complex cuisine out there. That said, some Cuban restaurants still manage to elevate the flavors and really stand out. La Casita Cuban Cuisine was... fine. The food was good, but nothing out of this world. It wasn’t bad by any means, but it didn’t leave a strong impression either. If you're looking for a decent Cuban meal, this place will get the job done. Just don’t expect anything unforgettable.

Really YUMMY food! 🍲 I've been ordering takeout online here lately and the meals are always hot, accurate and freshly made. The service at the front desk can be distracted/aloof sometimes, but a little extra patience with them works wonders. They do attend to you eventually! The fries are exceptionally tasty and chunky, and the rice is always fluffy and tender. The steaks I've yet to try but the chicken dishes are juicy and flavorful. Their sautéed onions are also awesome and comforting. Order here! I'll dine in sometime soon.

We went here after an evening at Trails Theater. I had seen a recent negative review and was somewhat doubtful, since there are several good choices nearby. It turned out to be a wonderful place. The food was authentic (I know Cuban food extremely well), very tasty and abundant. I would love to go back any time. I highly recommend it. I had tasajo and arroz con leche. Both were great, as were all the dishes our party of six had.

I would have put the atmosphere was better but waitresses were throwing the chairs around stacking them up after we had just gotten there and started eating. We got there at 11:30 when the maps app says it closes at 1:00 a.m. I asked our waitress and she didn't apologize and said the place actually closes at 11:00 and that it hasn't been fixed. We heard her talking to another waitress using profanity talking about another customer that she had a problem with. The place charges you $0.25 per box for takeout or leftovers. They charge $1.45 for not paying cash. She never informed me of any of this. I found out because I looked at the receipt so hopefully you look at it. Thankfully they did not include the tip but suggest at least 15%. She forgot to bring my Coke and when I mentioned it at the end, with an attitude she said if I would have remembered and told her she would have brought it to me. Incredible! It's pretty obvious the reason that the waitresses treat the customers the way they do is because THEY KNOW No one is looking at these reviews because notice how no one responds to them. I recommend if anyone has a complaint that you talk to the manager at the moment or call the restaurant because no one looks at these reviews.

The nicest people work here, the atmosphere is so nice and the quantity and quality of the food is incredible!!! Great portions for price!!

Delicious food fast service vaca frita so tasty and deliouse

The original Latin American Cafe, still the best after all these years, food and service is the best. Lorena La Famosa was the greatest part of our visit, very kind and attentive. This place defines the often used Latin phrase “Que Rico!!”

Typically, when I come here the food is quite good, though the last time I picked up food to bring home. A Miami sub and a cuban sandwich. I was disappointed. The bacon on the Miami sub was mostly raw. I had to remove most of it and it was just plain sloppy. My parents who had the Cuban complained that the meat was dry. Update--another inconsistent Miami restaurant. A few days ago, we picked up an order, they forgot the black beans, tonight ( 3-11-25) they got the order wrong, so we had to go back and the same dish I had a few days ago-the filetillo de pollo salteado--which was soo good, tonight was fair at best. I don't get it. I'm obviously aware that different chefs are going to have some variation in their cooking but night and day difference? This pic was very recent--the chicken felt like and tasted like wood.

Food was amazing and delicious! I used to come here when I was a kid and I’m super happy it hasn’t gone down in quality. Can’t wait when I come back to Miami to eat here again. Always loved the food here

Really enjoyed dinner here. Service was great and food came out quickly. Everything we ordered tasted good and was good portion for price paid.

El Floridita offers top-notch service that genuinely enhances the dining experience. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, making sure you feel well taken care of throughout your visit. However, the food falls short of expectations. Despite the impressive presentation, the dishes lack the bold flavors you might hope for. If you're seeking exceptional service and don't mind a more subdued culinary experience, El Floridita might still be worth a visit. For me, the lack of flavor in the food is why I’m giving it three stars.

I love this place so much. From the service to the food which is really good!!! I come here at least once or twice weekly. The cuban beans are so homie, and the fish is delicious!! The lemonade is like homemade, who does that anymore? Will definitely recommend.

I never expected to find such a nice place like this. I had the pleasure to be served by Ernesto. He is the best. The menu is amazing it has so many choices!!!. The food was extremely good. It was fresh and the flavor would tell you that it was made just after we ordered. It is natural (not frozen) and it is organic. The service was also amazing, they are all professionals at what they do. The atmosphere was also excellent. They played Boney M while we were there and it made me remember those times when I was a kid. I really recommend everybody to visit this place you will not regret it

Great spot, wonderful service, makes you feel like your family. The food was delicious. The prices are extremely reasonable.

The restaurant was very nice and nicely decorated, very comfortable. All the staff were very friendly and kind. I'm from New England and used to different fish choices and don't really care for what they had available. I ordered lobster bisque and I probably wouldn't order it again, it was a bit sweet but a very nice presentation. My friend ordered fried shrimp and that came with chicken noodle soup which she didn't want so I ate that and it was delicious. She also go a salad and it was a good size and very fresh. There were six shrimp on her plate so we split those which were tasty but a bit greasy. I would say that you should try it, they do have lots of options and there will probably be something you might enjoy if you like the fish options they have. Everything looked fresh. One more thing, the rolls were served warm with the most delicious garlic butter 🧈 😋 I'm sure if you wanted to try them you could call ahead and inquire about what kind of fish 🐟 they are serving that day and it would be easy to decide.

08/28/2025 Few things are more frustrating for a diner than feeling deceived, and sadly, that was my experience here. Perhaps this approach worked for years, but today there are many better alternatives in Miami for quality seafood. Food: Poor, scarce, and overpriced. A clear example: a portion of branzino consisted of just half a fish, priced at $50, when a whole piece costs around $9. Service: Honesty is key to building customer loyalty, and claiming a branzino is “fresh” when it’s not even a Florida fish is simply unacceptable. Ambience: The restaurant was full thanks to the daily special, yet most diners seemed to be eating anything but the house specialty. Conclusion: Miami is surrounded by ocean, offering an incredible variety of local fish. A seafood restaurant should take advantage of that richness, revisiting both its menu and its pricing strategy.

Took family here since we were in the area. Menu looks expensive ,but they also have a lunch menu with good options and it included a soup we had arroz Frito with shrimp, fried shrimp,grilled chicken, blackened fish fillet with mash Coach of those plates was $12. Unbelievable that they came with soup each. Taste was great so we will be back soon.

I had high hopes for this restaurant but, unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations. When we arrived, the restaurant was nearly empty, yet we were given one of the worst tables right under a leaking AC unit. When I asked to be moved, we were offered a different table still under the same leak, this time next to a fire extinguisher, despite plenty of open seating elsewhere. Staff ended up wiping down the AC in front of us, which felt quite unprofessional. As for the food, it was just okay but significantly overpriced for the quality. The menu was limited, and I didn’t particularly enjoy any of the dishes we tried. The churrasco was probably the best item, but it’s something you can find elsewhere at half the price. The soup arrived cold, the smoked dip was too salty, the wagyu appetizer was average, the chuleta was dry, and the lamb chops were underwhelming. The drinks were overly fruity and not well balanced. We also paid for a birthday add-on that included a sign, shot, and dessert. The shot tasted like medicine, and no one asked us what kind we preferred. The flan that came with it was not good either, and the entire experience wasn’t worth the $50 price tag. Lastly, we had been looking forward to the advertised entertainment, which was supposed to start at 10 PM. We stayed until around 11, but nothing happened. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place. For the amount you’ll spend, there are far better options with better service, food, and atmosphere.

Everything about our visit to Kuba Cabana was top-notch! The atmosphere was vibrant and full of energy, the food was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were perfectly crafted. The servers were attentive and friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. A special shoutout to the manager, Imaray, who was incredibly professional and made sure everything ran smoothly. This place truly delivers on all fronts—can’t wait to go back!

Our amazing experience started with stellar service from Yesniel. With everything looking absolutely scrumptious on the menu, we were unable to decide, but he has was to our rescue and helped us pick the perfect meal . Each bite was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend this beautiful spot for anyone looking to experience it exquisite Cuban food!!!

The food was great they have music and the service was amazing… we had the croquetas, tamales and lentil soup it was yummy… its very expensive place so go prepared

We had My Birthday Celebration and could not have chosen a better setting. Imaray manager was amazing, professional, flexible. Staff was very nice and attentive. My guest and family all commented on how good the food was. Service 4 only because food was a bit slow coming out all together but it could be the large group.

From Last-Minute to Legendary: Kuba Cabana Delivers Wow – where do I even begin? We hosted a company event at Kuba Cabana with over 30 guests and gave them less than 24 hours' notice (yes, you read that right), and the team absolutely crushed it. From the moment we reached out, the hostess and her phenomenal crew jumped into action. They created a custom 3-course menu with showstopping appetizers, entrées that had everyone raving, perfectly paired drinks, and desserts that ended the night on a sweet high. Every detail was thought through, and every guest felt taken care of. The hostess was a rockstar – sharp, responsive, and deeply tuned in to the vibe of the room. She anticipated our guests’ needs before we even had to ask. The manager was also incredibly accommodating and made the planning process seamless. As for the food? Hands down, some of the best in the area. Each dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and served hot and fresh despite our large party size. And let’s talk about ambiance – Kuba Cabana brings the party. The atmosphere, the energy, the music, the drinks... it’s the full experience. Every single guest had a blast, and we’re already talking about coming back. Massive shoutout and heartfelt thanks to the entire Kuba Cabana team – you made our event legendary. Highly recommend for corporate events, celebrations, or just a night out that hits all the right notes!

I was in Miami and wanted a good salsa vibe, and this place did not disappoint! I went on a Friday night. Only thing they didn’t serve any of the liquor that I prefer. There is a parking garage for parking right next door, that was a plus.Other than that I would definitely come back and dance the night away!
