    We had lunch here today. I enjoy this place. It is very Miamian. The service is good and quick. The ambiance is old school Miamian with the locals, mostly Cubans. There is an energy that you don't experience everywhere in downtown Miami. Plus the food is good too. I also wanted to add a unique photo of the Pipi rooms to my review. I had a good laugh over the name.

    Had lunch while doing my civic duty! The chicken soup hit the spot. It was delicious and filling and service was great! Will be back for breakfast in a couple days!

    Stopped in to get some breakfast. I ordered the Western Omelet, it came with fries. Their fries are so good! I also ordered a small lemonade which was fresh. They have a decent size menu for breakfast and separate for lunch, the ladies there are so welcoming. The inside of the restaurant is nice and clean with plenty of seating.

    Breakfast review. Ambiance same as before very dated but I couldn't imagine it any other way. If you are staying on the downtown area it's worth the trip. Take the free People Mover train to Government Center and it's a 500' ft walk. It's with it. Breakfast was great eggs cook to order perfectly. The Cubano bread was warm tasty, almost addicting. The cafe con leche was smooth and not bittern. The chicken Deluxe is a good choice. And of course the service was friendly and fast. .

    If you like authentic Cuban Cuisine, it is definitely For you. Cost if fair in toda's economy. Loved their fried fish and how can you go wrong, Nice salad and fried plantains. All my Cuban Cuisine aficionados should try it. Close to Miami downtown.

    If your by the court house and hungry for some delicious food this should be your first choice. Good prices, lots of seating and super fast service. I recommend the "Vaca Frita" super good. with a side of rice and black beans you can't go wrong. The menu is huge and has lots of variety. They have daily specials.

    I have absolutely no complaints at all. What a delicious meal with great service. I loved the very authentic nature of the location and it was the perfect spot after a pier day. Not too far away from Miami Beach. Had to find parking and walk a bit but it was all worth it!

    I went back for lunch before flying out. The Cuban Sandwich was great, very authentic. Great price, under $10 and had a colado which is a slightly larger version of an espresso. Powerful, strong stuff. The waitress was great, attentive. Great place for cheap and authentic eats.

    The staff is very friendly. The restaurant was opened during COVID-19. So I appreciate that a lot.

    Ordered a mango smoothie ($3) and a Cuban sandwich ($6) during peak lunch rush. The ladies at the counter were polite, despite how busy they were filling orders from the restaurant, counter, AND the window. That being said, it did take a bit to microwave a pre-wrapped Cuban sandwich before pressing it. Smoothies are made from frozen, concentrated fruit slabs, a spoonful of sugar, a splash of milk, and ice. Altogether average, but conveniently located.

    Great food served up quickly. Great prices. And if you're not so hungry, there's appetizers like empanadas, croquettes, papa relleno, pastellos. Also, drinks: coffee and soda. Nice service. If you're downtown and wanting a taste of Caribbean/Cuban scene, El Cacique's the place for you.

    I was told that when you're in Florida ESPECIALLY Miami you HAVE to get Cuban food. And wow... now…read moreI understand why. As we were driving in, the place already looked beautiful. We came in the evening and immediately, as we walked up, there was music, people laughing, talking, smiling... the energy was incredible. I also loved that there was a bar off to the side while waiting. We ordered a few mojitos and sat outside at the tables and benches, just enjoying the atmosphere. When our name was finally called and we walked inside, I genuinely felt like I was stepping into history. The atmosphere here is unmatched. The music, the aromas, the people. God, I loved it here and I hadn't even tried the food yet. We ordered the braised oxtail (which came with plantains and rice), salmon glazed in guava BBQ sauce, ceviche tropical, assorted empanadas, and a Cuban sandwich. Everything was phenomenal. The sauce paired with the empanadas perfectly. The guava BBQ glaze on the salmon was absolute perfection. It was the perfect combo of sweet, smoky, and flavorful. The ceviche had the perfect acidity and tasted so fresh and refreshing. This is one of the most famous Cuban restaurants in Miami. It completely lives up to the reputation. Highly recommended

    DIRT AND MUD IN THE SALAD!!! WATCH OUT…read more We ordered the salad with mango and pecans. They do not wash there lettuce. There was literally dirt/mud at the bottom and I took my first bite and it felt like biting into sand. Upon spitting the food out onto my plate it was black sludge. Literally my tongue and teeth were black. The waiter came by and grabbed the plate when I was in the bathroom. I spent about 10 minutes trying to get that BLACK SLUDGE out of my mouth. When I was spitting out the dirt/mud wife noticed the bus boys laughing at me and there was not a manger in sight. When I asked for a manager he did not even respond. No apology or anything just a look of confusion. Worst experience in a restaurant in my life and I love to eat and have been to many types of restaurant big and small. Cheap and expensive and this one takes the cake. We were so bummed as I see thousands of great reviews. But if there was a zero I would have given zero stars the way they handled the situation. If you eat there in the future make sure to check for DIRT/MUD.

We started with the goat cheese croquettes, which were delicious! The marmalade went well, and the pickles onions and jalapeños cut the richness and were a nice complement.

Regardless when we arrived they sat us outside which is exactly what we were hoping for. Our server was nice at first. Explained all the popular dishes got our drinks out very quickly. I think she stole our table from someone else because shortly after someone came and we told them we put our order in and he seemed a little bothered. Unfortunately, our other server disappeared and never checked up on us. We pretty much didn't have any napkins during our entire duration of our meal. At least that part was good. We started off with a couple of mojitos and their Vaca Frita Tostones. You get these homemade maduro tostones topped off with shreeded beef in a moon sauce, pickled onion, and aji Amarillo aioli. A very delicious dish that didn't last long. Shortly after we received our main dish. I really hate when they do that. My wife ordered their Abuelas Ropa Vieja and I ordered their Masa de Puerco Chino. My wife didn't really care for her dish much. We've had plenty of Ropa Vieja before and would have preferred a congri type of rice as opppsed to just plain white rice. My dish was 10/10. Like in the name of "chino" this is an Asian inspired dish with fried rice, maduros, pineapple confit and crispy pork. A very delicious dish. It could have don't without the little salad on top, but at least it ads color to the dish. The crispy pork tasted so amazing and the fried had so much flavor. Mix in some of the maduros and you get a sweet and savory dish. Would definitely be returning to try this dish again.

We ordered the Cuban sandwich and the Cuban burger, and honestly both were dangerously good. The Cuban sandwich was exactly what you hope for -- crispy bread, perfectly pressed, packed with flavor, and the kind of sandwich that makes you pause mid-bite and just nod at the person across from you like "yep... this was the right decision." The Cuban burger was also fantastic -- juicy, flavorful, and big enough that you start questioning whether you should have skipped breakfast. The area around the restaurant was great too. Nice vibe, good energy, and perfect for walking around before or after eating... which you will probably need to do after finishing that burger. The servers were good -- friendly, attentive, and thankfully didn't judge us for attacking the food like we hadn't eaten in three business days. Overall the place has a fun atmosphere, great Cuban comfort food, and the kind of menu that makes you want to come back just to try the things you didn't order the first time. Highly recommend... just be prepared to leave full and slightly considering a nap. 10/10 would happily destroy another Cuban sandwich there again.

We stopped here at this one on Espanola Way for dinner on a Sunday, primarily because we had somewhere else in this area to be afterward, and while most every place on this touristy street was packed with a wait list, this restaurant could seat us right away. Service was good all evening from an outgoing waiter, this place was great for people watching (we were seated at a high top on the sidewalk in front), the food was good and the prices were reasonable, especially considering that Espanola Way is one of the most touristy areas on already touristy Miami Beach. I had the signature roasted chicken ($28) and my husband the Cuban churrasco steak ($42) and both included sides. We also had a glass of wine each and again, wine prices were reasonable. While we don't tend to eat in this general area often as it is so touristy which usually equals lackluster food and service at high prices, Havana 1957 was just fine. I'd happily return here.
