They're lucky the food is so good and I'll be coming back next time regardless of the atmosphere. If I could give 4.5 stars, I would.

I will definitely not go in person here if the food looks like this.

Everyone in our group loved what they ordered. The food was delicious, the sizes were generous and the prices were great. It was around 9:30-10pm when we arrived and the place was still busy. It was fancier than I expected with a bit of a sports bar twist. The menus were on iPads. Our server was friendly and helped a couple people with their orders. I hadn't had black beans and rice in a while so I ordered it as my side along with the plantains and couldn't have made a better choice. I had a Cuban sandwich and my husband had a Cuban style burger. We ate everything on our plate. Yum! It was late night done right. The reviews had me uncertain but I would definitely eat here again.

These are the best frituras of bacalao I have ever tried and the sauce compliments it so well! We paired this appetizer with the mojito flight and they were absolutely delicious. You get 4 options, passion fruit, lychee, guava & coconut. Afterwards we ordered the vaca frita with moros & tostones. You can order them extra crispy which I recommend. My fiancé ordered the Chicken cordon Bleu which is apparently a staple here and it did not disappoint at all! Overall we had a great experience and the food was fantastic, you can't go wrong with Cuban food in south florida. The remodel of the restaurant was fantastic and you can't tell they put in a lot of effort making this establishment look really nice with a great ambiance. The items we ordered were a little bit more pricey than usual but we assumed that when we got iPads for menus! Gotta pay off the remodel somehow! This place was 10/10 with excellent service & will return to try other items!

For a while I was really worried we were going to end up eating at chain restaurants in Miami since…read morewe couldn't find decent food. This was just the closest thing to our hotel. They completely changed my mind and gave us hope for the rest of our stay. The staff were super friendly and patient with us. Which honestly a lot of places in town weren't in the past. Me and the midget had the Churrasco, and bistec de pollo empanizado. AMAZING! maybe just maybe, the score was high because of the disappointment in the food scene here, but it was still amazing to us. If I'm being honest, and hurts coming from Texas, this was one of the best cooked and flavored pieces of skirt steak I've ever had. It was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Easily cut and melted as we chewed. Yes, yes, and yes! The midgets chicken was also great. Not tough like we expected it to be. Breaded just right, and the breading was seasoned! The sides were ok to good. The white rice was different here. I couldn't pin point, it just wasn't a let down like every where else. The mashed potatoes were our least favorite. It wasn't very flavorful, and didn't really go with the dishes. Little confusing?!?. The fries were good. We also had the bistec de palomilla to go. Let's get to the slight let downs and gripes. When we drove to here, we were expecting a true cafeteria experience. You know you see the items, pick and they serve it to you. The name was a little deceiving. It's also small. The mashed potatoes make no sense, and they were severely lacking flavor. Also, even though it was great, the palomilla was a way smaller portion than the rest of the dishes we had. If it wasn't so affordable to eat here, I would have complained about overpaying. At least we have hope, and my Miami family promised to take us to some other places to show us that not all food sucks here! Heck we may just eat here the rest of our stay!

As I waited for my car to be serviced and it was getting close to lunchtime, I asked the shop owner…read moreif there was a place to eat nearby and she directed me to La Tinajita Cafeteria which is located in a warehouse district. It was the perfect place to grab a delicious and fresh lunch. Although located in a warehouse area, the area is clean and modern. The restaurant is small, clean (very well kept) and has a very cozy feeling to it. I was immediately greeted by a very sweet young lady who took my order and proceeded to to set a table for me. I decided to ask for one of the specials of the day (on a Thursday) and I asked for the baked chicken and sides. My food was served fresh and hot in less than five minutes. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked and the black beans and rice were equally delicious. As I was eating I noticed a lot of take out orders and I am not surprised as the food was outstanding. The location is clean and organized, the bathroom was clean and properly maintained and stocked and all the young ladies working there were outstanding in their customer service. Will definitely return to try other dishes at my next car service!!
