They have great coffee, especially the cafe con leches, and very well-made pastries. The coffee was smooth and well balanced, and the pastries were flaky and flavorful without being overly sweet. The pastelito de guayaba is my favorite. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared, not rushed or generic. It's the perfect place to either stop into casually or sit and enjoy deliciously made food without feeling rushed. Staff members are lovely and helpful. Definitely worth a visit if you appreciate quality coffee and baked goods.

Our server was nice and provided recommendations from the lunch menu. Casual setting with lively atmosphere. Their authentic colombian dishes are big enough for two. Tried their Bandeja Paisa had the biggest chicharron and mostly meat I've seen. Their chicken parm was also big portion and fair price. Soups are hearty and flavorful. Their Mondongo which is tripe soup had lots of veggies, potatoes and topped with lots of cilantro. Food was served fairly quickly but getting the check took some time we had to get their attention as we needed to head back to work.

Located in Pembroke…read moreGardens this spot has all the delicious cuban dishes like vaca frita, masitas de puerco, cuban sandwiches and lechon asado. We stopped for lunch and tried the lunch menu items. We tried the pollo asado bowl which comes with rice, salad , big chunk of avocado and baked chicken no skin. The rice and beans were so good. Beans were a little watery but were perfect for my taste as this is the way i like them. Chicken had good flavor but was a bit dry. Waitress was fast but food took longer than expected and we had to rush back to work. Love the 1950's Havana nostalgia vibe with all the vintage cuban decor. Dimmed lights and nice bright bar area. Spacious with plenty of indoor and outdoor patio area.

Havana 1957 was a nice experience overall. We had family visiting us from a different country and…read morewanted to provide a memorable experience for them while they were in Florida. In my opinion, trying Cuban food is a must, for anyone visiting Florida, since Spanish culture is such a huge part of South Florida scene. We found one or two other restaurants that offer better quality Cuban food than Havana 1957, but with vibe and music thrown in the mix, we decided to go with Havana 1957. We went on a Wednesday night, and though the place was mostly empty, it took a long time for us to get our food. We were a party of 9 so I understand how it could have been hectic for the chefs in the back preparing our food, but wait time of close to 1 hour felt a bit extreme. Our server was nice. The food was decent. The vibe was nice. The only bad experience I have to say, was that there was a lady from Visenta Studio walking around asking to take photos of us. Before we even got our appetizers, she came and asked if I wanted to buy the photos she took of us on a frame for $20 each. I asked her can I wait until after we eat to pay for the pictures? She said no, I am sorry right now please. I then asked if she can removed the photos from the frame because our family have to go back on Friday and they would prefer to bring just the photos and not the frames. I asked if I can pay her $10 just for the photo and no frame, and she said no it's still $20. I asked her what happens to the pictures I don't buy and she said they go in the garbage. I asked to speak to the manager to better understand how this made sense and she said the manager can't do anything because it's not his company. Honestly, this was such a frustrating experience and lost my appetite going back and forth with this lady named Samantha. I hold Havana 1957 partially accountable for going along with Visenta Studio and allowing this money hungry photographer to come and interrupt our dining experience. The whole experience would have been much better without this photographer engaging to ruin our experience. At the very least, Samantha (Visenta studio photographer) could have had humor and manners and offered to take free photo with our phone after we purchased two of her overpriced photos on hideous frames. I recommend this place to others for sure. I don't recommend you entertain the photographers from Visenta Studio. If they come by you said no thank you and save your money please. We are Florida locals who got suckered into paying tourist price for average pictures.

She attentive, friendly and helpful. We wanted to order an appetizer before our entree came out and she advised us to wait because it would come out at the same time which I personally don't like so I appreciated her letting us know. To start, I ordered a jupiña and my bf ordered a materva. We also got bread for the table and ordered an appetizer which was the trio tostones. For the trio, we only went with chicken and beef because we didn't want to have pork. The chicken ended up being better than the beef so we would probably go with the chicken next time. Once the appetizer came out, then we placed our entree order. I decided to go with the vaca frita, maduros, and moro rice and my bf ordered a palomilla, white rice and yuca. We both enjoyed our meals. Then, I ordered a coffee which was good as well. Overall, we enjoyed the food and the service. We would come back.

As a lifelong South Floridian, I'm pretty particular about my Cuban food. Sergio's delivered one of…read morethe best meals I've had in a long time. The Vaca Frita was outstanding, a generous portion, perfectly seasoned, and cooked exactly as requested: extra crispy. The rice was flavorful without being overly salty, and the black beans were spot-on. Everything struck that perfect balance where it's seasoned just right, you don't need to add anything unless you want to. The tostones were excellent too, crispy on the outside with a soft, tender bite inside, nothing like the hard, overcooked versions you often get elsewhere. We started with their plantain chips and enjoyed the complimentary Cuban bread. For dessert, the mousse was light, fluffy, and not overly sweet, the ideal finish. Sergio's has easily become our go-to spot for Cuban food. Highly recommended.

This was my first time in 15 years coming back to try Latin American Grill in Pembroke Pines…read more When my family used to live in Pembroke Pines, I remember stopping by to grab colada and sandwiches for quick lunch every weekend with my friends before going out. It was one of more affordable lunches for us back then. Not much has changed in all the years. The food quality is still decent, the prices are still affordable, and the customer service is still friendly. It was a nice experience to stop by for a simple breakfast and colada. It helped me reminisce about my life from years ago, how much has changed for the better now, but still missing how some things were back then. Maybe it wasn't a simple dining experience for me today, maybe motivation for me to check in on some people from way back then to see if they are still doing well. Thanks Latin American Grill for still being at the same location and reminding me to reach out to people I haven't spoken to in years. They offer plenty of free parking in this plaza. I would recommend this place to others and maybe be back next time I am in Pembroke Pines area.

Masitas were super dry. The vaca frita was also dry and not flavorful. The palomilla steak was rubber and dry as well.

Always loved the upscale decor and renovations at this location with ample indoor and outdoor seating.

After having an amazing Cuban sandwich on Sunday, I decided to try another spot for comparison--and…read morethis one easily took the top spot. Hands down, this was the best Cuban sandwich I've ever had. The bread was perfectly toasted on the outside while staying soft on the inside. The meat tasted fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned. It was a little greasy, but in the best way possible--it was absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the same sandwich and agreed that it's the best Cuban we've had so far. I also tried a non-alcoholic mango daiquiri, which was refreshing and full of flavor. The plantains were another standout and the best I've had in the city to date. This is definitely a place I'd return to for the Cuban sandwich alone. Everything I saw being served to other tables looked incredible as well. If you're visiting Little Havana, I highly recommend stopping by and giving this place a try. It's a spot that lives up to the hype. I wish we had this place is Phoenix. I'm going to miss it.
