    Grilled Chicken Breast (Pechuga de Pollo)
    Chrissy E.

    We were hungry and after looking at different places, decided to give this place a try'l. I was excited in the beginning but it went away after I got my drink. We started out with water (you get your choice of still, sparkling, or tap) and then I got a passion fruit mojito. Now, I've had plenty of mojitos before but I def did a second and third double take when I got mine. There was very little flavor and it def didn't taste or look like the one I had from the night before at a didn't restaurant. When the server delivered it I asked if if he was sure if was passion fruit and he said yes. I took two sips and pushed it to the side. Food wise, I got the grilled chicken breast. It comes with onion and some pico stuff. I asked to have the onions removed because they upset my stomach but when I got my meal I wasn't expecting it to be completely plain! The only saving grace were the black beans and white rice. There wasn't much else to say about the food, drink, or service to justify giving a higher rating especially considering you're on the strip and everything is already overpriced as it is.

    Ropa Vieja Grandma Style & Cuban Sandwich
    Julie V.

    The first restaurant we tried in miami. This spot was connected to our hotel on South Beach, known for its lively cuban vibes and ocean views. We ordered the grandma-style ropa vieja and the classic cuban sandwich. The shredded beef was tender, flavorful, and served over a bed of rice without being dry. The cuban sandwich was good, with the crispy little fries on the side. Note that they automatically charge 20% gratuity. It's a decent spot if you're staying on South Beach and craving cuban food.

    FIVE STARS!! After a nice morning stroll on the beach we stopped in to hop out of the sun. Enjoyed refreshing & delicious mango smoothies, and a club sandwich. Jose took amazing care of us! Love the vibes and the background music had me swaying in my seat. So glad we dropped in.

    Clelo was our hostess this evening and we had a fabulous time! She was very attentive to our table. She offered some great recommendations for our happy hour event. Very knowledgeable and such a happy person who made our experience fabulous! Oh let's talk food and drink. The place on South Beach to come for authentic Cuban food! Get the empanadas! Mojitos and margs are fabulous. Such a good selection of flavors too. Located on Ocean Dr. across from the beach it's the place to come after a day at the beach. Plenty of air to keep cool and the people watching is top notch. When on South Beach it's the place to come!

    I was in Miami with my niece. It was her first time visiting the city and she picked this place to check out. She felt that she could not come to Miami and not have Cuban food. We were able to walk in without a reservation and be seated immediately. The sever came over after a few minutes to take our drink orders. The staff did not speak English well so he failed to understand my question regarding the type of rice they used for the meals. I ended up just ordering the meal even though I was not clear on the type of rice. The food came out quickly. It was ok. Not a thing I would have to have again. I personally think it's just a tourist trap.

    Paula was an amazing server. Welcoming and on top of it. The crispy chicken dish was amazing!!! The restaurant had a great atmosphere. Live music played at 8pm.

    My boyfriend and I came in for breakfast. This place has great reviews and I wanted to check it out! I think their specialties lie in their dinner but breakfast was a good cuban breakfast! I enjoyed the rice and beans but they weren't anything special. the coffee also wasn't the greatest but i'm sure this place specializes in drinks. overall great service and good food. id love to come back for dinner!

    Phenomenal Americano = rich/dark/flavorful! Portions are good sized and decently priced. Note service is relaxed, which is the way it supposed to be--enjoy.

    The Cuban was excellent. The salmon tartar was quite good too. I had the skirt stake and it was average. The service was excellent. Friendly and informative. The atmosphere was nice but it was hot on the patio seating. I'm not from here so I melted. Overall a solid meal.

    A passion fruit Mojito completed by yours truly
    Handan O.

    Milu was our waitress. She was wonderful! Very attentive and super sweet! Food was also very good! Especially the passion fruit Mojito Milu recommended. HUGE size and totally worth the cost! would definitely come back to Alma if i come back to south beach. Great Cuban food!

    Side Yuca Frita
    Ferzeen P.

    Solid Cuban food in an unexpected place! Stumbled upon this place as I was staying at the hotel next door and craving Cuban food. I was skeptical that anything on ocean drive would be good but was glad to find out otherwise! The ambiance, while crowded is still inviting and the views cannot be beat. Service started off slow but was rushed once the food order came in. Ordered the "super" coconut mojito and it did not disappoint! Decided to try the slider trio and I can't decide which one I liked more- they were all delicious. Yuca fries were also a good addition. Will definitely come back on my yearly excursion down to Miami!

    Our handsome server, Michael

    Definitely a place to visit when in South Beach.... Their food is delicious, atmosphere is a vibe, their service is exceptional and they got the best table side views. Our server, Michael from Columbia .......es muy guapo! He is very very very handsome. So sweet and attentive. Their street side tables are perfect for people watching. I had their empanada for an appetizer and a Cuban sandwich for lunch. I wanted Michael for dessert.... But..... they wouldn't let me take him ha ha Definitely bookmark this place when visiting Ocean Drive, South Beach Miami. They are located on the south side of Ocean Drive near the Ritz

    Garlic shrimp. Delicious. Make sure the bring out your sides!

    4 for the food, 1 for the experience. Terrible service. Aggressive upselling. Questionable billing tactics. I left there wondering if our servers lack of English was a scam or if they truly didn't have enough of the basics to do the job. The food came out wrong and the bill was wrong. We had to involve the manager. Beware- check and double check your bill. I'll give credit to the manager for "fixing" our bill but I'll hold final judgement when I can view my credit card charges. Our waiter overcharged us and I left there feeling I was being ripped off. The food was good but the experience was ruined by the service and issues with the bill. In general I was disappointed with the restaurants on Ocean Blvd- has this place gone downhill that bad? Walking down the street you are accosted by hosts and hostesses aggressively trying to get you in their restaurant- you can't casually stroll the street and look at menus. It also lost its "upscale" vibe and now just seems like a tourist trap. Being the daughter of an immigrant I don't mind English as a second language but this was beyond that. I don't want to point to the menu to order food or have to ask for a second person to fix a mistake. Or several mistakes. I wanted an authentic Cuban restaurant and I'm pretty sure this isn't it. Lovely setting untrustworthy experience. Spoiled experience.

Pretty cool to know that they have been rated as one of the 50 best bars in the WORLD. That's a pretty big achievement to accomplish. Parking can be tricky, you may find street parking. If not you can park at the lot by the beach. Other than that, you should be right on your way to having a great night.
