Juan ArriagadaJune 18, 2013Loved the "Surtido criollo" a few of almost everything! Couldn't finish it cuz I ate a "Caldo gallego" before.. Don't do that! You can't handle 'em both! The cocktails are loaded with extra booze!
Beatriz CastilloJanuary 11, 2015This is a popular Cuban restaurant in Miami, along with Versailles (they're owned by the same people). Portions are quite big.I love the plantain chips with mojo.
Diana RestrepoDecember 21, 2014Ropa vieja, sweet plantains and the fried cassava is to die for. There's also a sweet man at the end of the resgister that takes your food to your table if you have too many bags on your hand. Awesome
CeliaApril 24, 2019This is AUTHENTIC CUBAN CUISINE. The Place is immaculate. Affordable. Excellent service. Drinks are divine. This spot is EVERYTHING! ♥️♥️♥️♥️😘
Staff is usually friendly an attentive. I've been coming here for years and I've never been disappointed with the food. This is a great place to eat. Check the specials of the day.
Luis VillaAugust 25, 2012This is the quintessentially Cuban exile restaurant - cheap, tasty, huge pictures of Cuba on the walls, and where Miami's cops go for late-night coffee. But La Casita down the street has better food.
Anya K.Z.May 27, 2013Very authentic experience. Great Cuban food. The staff does not speak English even though we are in the middle of miami! I still love this place though.- Dennis MancinoJuly 21, 2015great authentic cuban food .. one of y top blue collar cuban down home restaurants!! come enjoy the taste of cuba here!
Ea RodriguezJune 7, 2015Every entree is made to perfection! Anytime of day any meal is tasty and delightful, love eating here!
Joe GrandaNovember 13, 2012Everything here is authentic Cuban cuisine almost as if made by mom or grandma, been coming here since a small boy n love it!
So much more than the cafecito @ la ventanita. One of the best Cuban Sandwiches in Miami.- GROD RodriguezMarch 27, 2013Delicious Cuban Food. I recommend that you have the palomilla steak and Cuban pastries and Cuban coffee.
Luija SilvaSeptember 5, 2012The carne asada is the best I've tried so far. Awesome service excellent prices and the cheesecake is to die for!!!!
Ani JohnsonApril 12, 2013The waitstaff is so kind even though its been 13 years since I spoke spanish. Dinner was just as good as I remembered it. Bueno!
Hama-LycheeMarch 22, 2020Buen gusto, greasy spoon, huge portions in Miami style Cuban places. Hits the spot, tho.
Diane HoangJanuary 27, 2014You can get baked goods on the side of the main restaurant! There's also a diner like bar on the inside
Blanca Stella MejiaNovember 23, 2012Try the Yuca Fries With Secret Cilantro Sauce - Love it. But I shouldn't have it after this after So much food yesterday
Get the vaca frita or ropa vieja meal. Chicken noodle soup is great as is the frijoles negroes. Don't forget the buttered bread!
"Un café con poca azúcar en taza por favor". Say that to the lady at the coffee window outside. The cafecito here is solid. The cortadito? Not so much. Go to Versailles for that.
Antonio RodriguezMarch 24, 2013Must come here if you are in Miami, just be carefully what you order as it is a lot of food.
JJ CondorSeptember 9, 2011great food, never fails for just dinner or an goode date, this place is not great, but freak'n ¡AWESOME!
Danny FoxxDecember 30, 2010When in town this is a must stop! The coffee and Cuban pastries are unbelievable.
A morning stop for coffee will get you quick update on sports and politics from the everyday familiar faces. No need for a newspaper.
The specials are the best choices. Order one of them.
