This cafeteria is long overdue for remodeling. It's worn down and not appealing. This time the bread looked like it was left over from before. They did not have any boiled malanga, boniato or plantains. The boliche did not have the chorizo in the center and probably because they were very thin cuts of meat (unlike the original dish). The sweet plantains were the fat cut which is not the best to cook it through. This location should close. read more

It was okay food. The bad but not great. Staff was very kind and friendly. We ate the steak and the grilled chicken. The kids meals were better than the adults food. read more

Good food! I ordered the Vaca Frita and it was delicious. Also ordered a Caesar salad that was ok. I read some reviews saying there was no air conditioning. They had air conditioning on when I was there and it was nice. Very friendly staff. The manager or owner came to check on me as well and you could feel the genuine hospitality when he spoke. read more

Me and my gf came on a Monday afternoon, it wasn't that busy but the food was amazing and really fresh, the service was impeccable, really good hidden spot, definitely recommend. The ambiance was nice and chill felt like home. read more

The food is solid. Good quality Cuban food with lots of flavor. The portions are huge and the price is just right. They have different locations and this one is conveniently located in a little strip mall on flaggler. Not much to say about the place itself or the decor, it is rather hot as if no ac. But service was quick and friendly. read more

Super friendly staff. Went over backwards to make sure everything was delightful and perfect. Lots of warm smiles happy people. The food was quite delicious with hot and it got to my table quickly. The coffee is fantastic and Cuban bread was something else. I'll give this place a 10 star rating. Come on coffee for $.95 and two americano coffee's for $3.18. This place has the best prices ever. Also we got five scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes, potatoes and Cuban bread for $12.49. I hope this place starts charging more because her not charging enough to stay in this kind of business. They are awesome. read more

Upon landing in the city all I knew is that I was hungryyyyyyy. LoL! After browsing on Yelp we decided to try this establishment. Heads up, the parking is very limited considering how many businesses are within the plaza. Nonetheless, let's talk food. Upon walking in the you g lady at the counter greeted us with a smile. The establishment was super clean and everyone had on a mask. Upon being seated our drink orders were taken and we were given a moment to review the menu. I ordered - 2 sides of Bacon - 1 side of Sausage - 1 side of Hash Browns (they are actually Tater Tots) - 1 Beef Empanada Can you tell I couldn't make up my mind? LoL! Everything was cooked well and provided a flavorful experience. The order of bacon is hugeeeeeeeee. I could have gotten away with 1 order but I'm so accustom to 3-4 slices being considered an "order" I wanted to plan ahead. Guess I was way wrong! I also ordered a Lemonade which was homemade and made to perfection. I tried my hardest to savor it, but it was so good I don't think it lasted 2 minutes. LoL! If you're in the area and looking for something good at a great price, I highly recommend stopping by. read more

FYI this place is NOT CLOSED, not sure why it's marked closed on Yelp...great food as always

Awesome Cuban breakfast spot with all sorts of options all the time. We showed up at 6am, and they were just opening, so no one else was there. We sat down and were quickly greeted with menus. Even though it was breakfast, we went with typical lunch sandwiches (pan con bistec, cubano), and they were great. We also had coffees and water. The food was cooked well on incredible Cuban bread. The person I was with was not from the area, and couldn't believe how good the bread was. We also had a collada, and it was made to perfection. Service, atmosphere, and food were all great. If you are looking for an authentic little Cuban diner, this is going to be your spot. Stop in and check em out! read more

A co-worker brought this to our work for one of our company's luncheon. I along with the rest of the team couldn't stop asking what exactly we were eating as it was dubious. For months after, I kept asking him where did he get it from and what was it called. Well, finally today, before he left on vacation I asked him again and he game the details. I immediately called thinking that this was made on a special order basis and I was surprised that they said that it would only take 30 minutes for me to pick up this delicious concoction. Although, I barely drive to that area of my city, the craving was so bad that I went(alone). The restaurants itself is in a not so nice location, off of flagler street and 72nd street. The staff was friendly and since there were no customers, I didn't have to wait at all. I had order a Tambor for 5 people and it cost $45.00. plus tax. So not too shabby. I hope you get a chance to try it someday, I really like it. My review is solely on my order out experience! read more

2 stars though I believe I'm being generous with the stars lol Where do I begin the food or the service The food was a little less than ok, I had a fish filet they was very dry The service. First the food came the waitress left and did not give us a chance to say we have no utensils lol After a couple of minutes trying to get her attention by waving our arms in the air someone else came and brought us the utensils Than one item of food that was ordered was missing That took a little while to eventually get but had to ask for it . Our waitress came when the table had been cleared to basically say you want the bill that's it .. Looking forward to other reviews since in the end if they are really bad my review alone won't do it read more

Caribe Café catered my Christmas meal. I ordered 2 different things: 1-Roasted pork, Moro and yuca & 2- Arroz Imperial with maduros. The food was delicious and all my guests loved it. The pork was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, the Moro was perfect and the yuca was great. The arroz imperial was very flavorful and moist and the maduros were good. It's hard to please 20 people but no one had any complaints. There was plenty of food and everyone wanted doggy bags! Cafe Caribe Restaurant just became my go to place for catering. read more

So I arrived and parked my car and proceeded to telephone in my order the very rude rude Latin American woman refused to take my order because I was asking for my chicken fricassee to be served on a side dish to go I was willing to pay she flat out refused to service me she put me on hold and she never ever ever got back to me. So I called down the street to La Rosa restaurant I placed my order in in 10 minutes time I had it in hand I was served with the utmost respect that a pain customer deserves I walked out of el Caribe a few weeks ago because they wouldn't serve me at the counter they're losing good customers such as I I've been going there since 1990s I doubt that I will be returning anytime soon pandemic will destroy these establishments do not give a damn about customer service good luck you guys read more

This is my favorite spot to eat breakfast. The staff is super attentive and always making sure your area is clean. I try getting different things every time but one of my fav things is a turnover with Central American white cheese inside. My usual is scramble eggs with cheese and ham, the French fries are super crunchy and seasoned and it also comes with cafe con leche and tostada of your choice of French or Cuban bread on the side...... I love this place. read more

Not the prettiest place but there are lots of tables to sit at, friendly service, and a huge menu. We bought the classic mofongo and it was moist and tasty. We had the breaded chicken and it had a nice light breading to it and was huge. The rice was well cooked and the black beans were delicious. The dessert was a fried yeast donut but they place it in some type of sweet syrup which ruined it. The restrooms need improvement big time. read more

You literally can't go wrong with anything you order. I've dined inn, taken out, and enjoyed delivery. Either way it's hot and fresh! I've been eating here for give or take 3 years. My all time favorite dish here has been the vaca frita, with moros and tostones. BOMB. They also make good chicharones de pescado, arroz con pollo, and carne con papa. My dine in experience was bland... The decor is cheap and tacky ocean blue walls and 80's tiki pictures. Waitresses don't take care of their tables. Once food is served; anything after that is your problema. The food is always great and the price is extremely economic. I continue to recommend delivery service to others! read more

It's a amazing place and they are so friendly and the food omg delicious I with there was Caribe Cafe in Los Angeles. I recommend this place. I'm in love with the cuban coffee read more

We had tried to go somewhere else without a reservation on a typical busy Miami Saturday night and it was too crowded, and I was major peeved when I recognized the parking lot/strip center he had pulled into. He liked this little hole in the wall restaurant that I disliked, especially because we were always the only people there. We were both surprised to see that it was a new restaurant now! This time, we weren't the only customers, though may have been the only Gringos. The decor was definitely an upgrade from what was there before, and there was a nice long painted mural of Havana above the bar. Our waitress was very nice and was only 8 months in from Cuba. We were brought a basket of garlic bread. Tasty, but could have used a bit more garlic butter. I ordered the grilled chicken breast, a side salad, and moros. The chicken was yummy and tender, though it still had the skin in it, which was not crunchy, so I tore it off. The salad had three big tomato slices and some onions and cucumber slices. No signature dressing -- just plain oil and vinegar in the table, though they brought some ranch dressing packets when asked. And the moros was good. My husband and daughter both ordered bistec empanizado, and were impressed by the taste and generous portions. Actually, we all took home generous to go boxes. YELPERS - definitely check in and take advantage of the free dessert. Some guy there seemed reluctant to give it to us - wanting me to actually first show him my finished YELP review. But I told him I was for sure writing it when I got home later, and he backed off. We chose tres leches, which was delicious and ample enough for us to share. Now that this place is under new ownership, I'm sure that we'll be headed back soon. read more

I visited the outside bakery. This is a small restaurant in a plaza. The area is OK. - The Restaurant is very visible when you're driving down Flagler. During my school break, which is only 10 minutes, I passed by Caribe for a Colada and a Pan con Queso Crema. I told the waitress I was in a rush and she still took a while to hand me my food. Had to take the pan con queso crema without it being fully toasted. - The bread was also smaller than most places... but the coffee was good! read more

Worst and inconsistent restaurant ever. Ordered the same food less than a month ago amazing and ordered it again today and disgusting. Nothing like the first time. Forty dollars and an hour late for this disgusting food. Service horrible and the food; was definitely not cooked by the same person before. STAY AWAY read more

These plantains are life changing. I've so thoroughly enjoyed every bite of this meal. Seriously this is an amazing hidden gem.

Sopped in Sunday morning with a group of friends who had been there before and left extremely satisfied. It had been a while since I had a Cuban breakfast so I was excited about it. Hubs and I ordered the same thing, with different protein choices. It was a $4.25 special that included two eggs (any way you want them prepared), a protein, home fries, cafe con leche and tostada. Cant beat that! I had ham cut up and mixed into my scrambled eggs, and hubby ordered bacon and his eggs sunny side up. First thing to come out are the cafe con leche and tostada orders.. I cant tell you how long its been since I've had tostada! Everyone prepared their cafe con leches (why is that always so much fun? lol) and we immediately began on our tostada. A very short time later our breakfasts arrived. The servings were very generous. Most couldnt finish their plates. 6 people = $30. I will definitely be back here. Good to know there are some places you can go that have not only good food but fair pricing and friendly staff. read more

Horrible experience - Do not order from here unless you want bad customer service. I ordered delivery to my job from Eat24 and i was extremely disappointed with my order. I order seared fish - it came lightly breaded in flour. I order rice, plantain and salad - it came with rice, plantains and black beans! I was really looking forward to having my salad. When i called the restaurant the lady blame it on Yelp because she's called to change the side menu. When i asked her why didn't she call me - she had no response. She kept saying she couldn't do anything about it, that my dish only came w/ two sides. I would've changed the rice for salad! This is ridiculous that the customer has to pay for their mistake. AVOID this place at all costs!! read more

I had their croquettes sandwich. It was pretty good, the fries were awesome though, very thin and tiny but super crispy! The breakfast that others had looked good too. And that Cuban coffee is delicious and strong! Nothung fancy but everyone enjoyed this quick bite to eat before the long day ahead. read more

Wow the food came and we all gasped at the portion size! We speak English and they were so sweet in helping us pick something off the menu that we would like and also suggested something aweosme for our pescatarian friend!!! The good came fast well done and it was a nice atmosphere for how hidden away it is! I will definitely be back again and will most likely order the same thing!!!!! read more
