Side of white rice and sweet plantains
Elizabeth M.

We come here fairly often for dinner. We got the bread for the table but it was hard, cold, and stale. However, the rest of the food was relatively good. We ordered the ajiaco, the regular vaca frita, and the chicken vaca frita. The vaca fritas came with three sides and we got the same for each: rice, beans, and sweet plantains. It's a great amount of food. The rice and beans were absolutely delicious. The ajiaco and both vaca frita entrees were specials for Monday. The only other issue we had was that the chicken vaca frita felt like it was unseasoned, which was a first for us with this location. The service was quick and friendly. Overall, it was great.

The race is circled

The food is good. I just don't like the rice. But it's good. The service is good. I like everything else. I just don't like the rice that's all that all that I don't like

Arroz con Cerdo Tuesday Special.
Sara D.

We came with a hungry crowd to have dinner. The toasted bread trays with garlic butter were devoured before a photo could be taken of the trays. Baby Palomilla for the children with rice and French Fries respectively. The children ate the steak and they are picky eaters. That was a good sign. Two of us had the special for Tuesday of Arroz con Carme de Puerco, Maduros, Tostones y Ensalada de Aguacate. Another Baby Steak with Salad for an adult. And the other special for Tuesday, apáticas de Cerdo with rice, Garbanzos and Salad. Lemonade Frappée to accompany the dinner. Flan & Pudín de Pan for dessert. Not a morsel was left of anything

Food is always great at this place. Very spacious, plenty of seats. The service is always great, the ladies are always very attentive . We love coming here for breakfast, lunch and dinner hahaha. They make amazing batido de mamey, I am obsessed. The portions they serve are always large, you might want to share or prepare to take some food home.

I was waiting for my lunch forever. It came unsatisfactory. Then I decided to leave.

bad tasting food. Sloppy servers. Enough said. Out of all Cuban places you can visit I wouldn't return here.

Cafe con leche evaporada
Noelle P.

Happy to find a place like this in my new neighborhood. It's one of those small hole in the wall types who never disappoint no matter what you get. Our favorite dish is the Vaca Frita which comes with rice and beans and Maduros. Always delicious. Always fresh. Chicken steak sandwich is also a favorite. We come for breakfast often. Their Tortilla de Platano is the perfect combination of savory and sweet. Pair that with their passion fruit juice and you will be glad you took my advice. Not only do they make Cuban toast but they also make French bread toast which is light and crispy and buttery. Pair this with Cuban coffee and evaporated milk. You're welcome!!!

Versailles is a Miami staple for a reason. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this iconic…read morespot belongs on your must-try list. The menu is extensive, offering so many authentic Cuban favorites that it can be hard to decide what to order. I've been here multiple times, and honestly, I haven't had a single dish that I didn't enjoy. Everything I've tried has been flavorful, satisfying, and worth coming back for. The restaurant is spacious with plenty of seating, so even though it's popular, it does a great job accommodating guests. The lively atmosphere adds to the overall experience and gives you a true taste of Miami's Cuban culture. Don't leave without stopping by the bakery next door! It's the perfect way to end your meal, with an incredible selection of pastries, desserts, coffee, and other sweet treats. Even if you're already full, it's worth grabbing something to enjoy later. Great food, generous portions, a rich history, and an authentic atmosphere--Versailles continues to be one of my favorite places to visit whenever I'm in Miami.

As you're waiting outside, there is a bar and cafe/bakery that you can get some drinks and pastries. We ended up getting original mojitos. It was really good and refreshing in the middle of the day.

The bathroom can be improved by adding more stalls.

We started with the grilled octopus, which was absolutely outstanding and one of our favorite dishes of the night. I also ordered their take on a Moscow Mule, and it was refreshing, well-balanced, and delicious. For the main course, we shared two of the specials--the red snapper and the meat platter. Both were excellent, and the portions were generous enough to comfortably feed our group of six. The atmosphere is what really makes this place special. The live Cuban music, energetic entertainment, and vibrant ambiance create such a fun and memorable experience. Our server was attentive, friendly, and helped make the evening even more enjoyable. A couple of things to know before you go: reservations are definitely recommended because the restaurant is very popular, and tables are limited to a two-hour seating. If you'd like to continue the night, you can always move over to the bar, which keeps the great energy going. If you're looking for authentic Cuban food, fantastic cocktails, and a lively night out, Café La Trova is absolutely worth visiting!

An older waitress served our table. She first brought us calamari that was undercooked, sticky, and raw. She replaced it with octopus, which was more expensive, and we agreed to keep it. We also asked for tap water, but she brought us bottled water instead, which cost $10. The restaurant was very dark, making it difficult to notice these things right away. Before we had a chance to review everything, the food was already served. When the check arrived, she pressured me to pay quickly, so I didn't have enough time to carefully review the bill. Later, I realized we had been charged for additional side dishes that we never ordered, which increased the total significantly. This restaurant is wonderful and doesn't need these kinds of tactics. I only wish they employed more honest waitstaff. My advice is to carefully check your order and your bill before paying so you don't end up spending extra money or dealing with unnecessary stress that could ruin an otherwise enjoyable evening. I truly loved the atmosphere and the food, but I was very disappointed by the service. For me, the ambiance and food deserve 5 stars, while the service deserves only 1 star. That averages out to a 3-star review.

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.

The roasted pork was tender, juicy, and packed with savory garlic-forward flavor.

It was comforting, flavorful, and paired really well with the traditional sides. Service was friendly and attentive, and the staff made the dining experience smooth even during a busy time. The vibe is lively and colorful, with a nostalgic Cuban café atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel festive and welcoming. It's a great spot for groups, casual dinners, or anyone looking to enjoy classic Cuban comfort food. Overall, a really solid Cuban meal with bold flavors and generous portions. I'd come back to try more of their traditional dishes and cocktails.
