A Slice of Dominican New York... Right Here on Miami Beach…read more I've been coming to Ocean Deli since 2020, and I honestly can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review. Maybe because people from New York know one universal rule: when you find a great neighborhood spot, you keep your mouth shut. You don't want your hidden gem becoming the next place where people wait in line because somebody on social media "discovered" it. Ocean Deli is one of the last authentic neighborhood delis left on Miami Beach. In a city filled with luxury hotels, trendy brunch spots, and restaurants charging resort prices for breakfast, Ocean Deli quietly does what it's been doing all along--serving great food, quickly, and at prices that still make sense. This is where the people who actually keep Miami Beach running come to eat. Hotel employees, construction workers, delivery drivers, city workers, first responders, and the locals who somehow managed to survive Miami Beach's rising cost of living. If you want to know where the real locals eat, this is it. The owner is Dominican and from the Bronx, and that New York Dominican bodega culture is written all over this place--in the best possible way. Walk through the door and you'll swear you just landed in Washington Heights or the Bronx. Bachata and merengue are playing in the background. The smell of fresh café con leche fills the room. The grill is always working. Conversations bounce around the deli like you've walked into someone's neighborhood hangout instead of a business. The ladies behind the counter are unmistakably Dominican--friendly, hardworking, efficient, and they keep the line moving without ever losing that neighborhood feel. The sandwiches are outstanding. Fresh bread, generous portions, and made the way sandwiches are supposed to be made. No unnecessary gimmicks. No tiny portions with fancy names. The café con leche deserves its own mention. Strong, smooth, and exactly what coffee should taste like. If you've spent any time in New York's Dominican neighborhoods, you'll recognize it immediately. The Dominican breakfast and lunch plates are equally impressive. Simple, authentic, flavorful comfort food that fills you up instead of emptying your wallet. Speaking of wallets... Ocean Deli might be one of the best values left on Miami Beach. While restaurants a few blocks away are charging you like they flew the eggs in first class, Ocean Deli is quietly serving quality food at prices that remind you Miami Beach wasn't always built just for tourists. Just know what you're walking into......This isn't a sit-down restaurant. You walk in, place your order, take your receipt to the register and pay. Then you wait a few minutes while the grill works its magic. When they call your order, you grab your food and you're on your way. That's how it's done here. Fast, efficient, and without all the unnecessary fanfare. Ocean Deli isn't trying to sell you an "artisan culinary experience." It's selling great sandwiches, authentic Dominican food, excellent café con leche, fair prices, and a little piece of Dominican-York right here on Miami Beach. Some places sell an image....... Ocean Deli sells breakfast and lunch. After six years of coming here, I wouldn't have it any other way. Just do yourself one favor: when you find yourself surrounded by tourists paying resort prices for an average meal, remember there's still one place on Miami Beach where the locals go. Now You Know

Great place to stop for a quick bite on a beach day or when you're not feeling up for a full meal…read more Sandwiches are large and taste great! Plenty of customization options. A counter seat is hit or miss but nice to have available instead of only being a walk up window. Skip the smoothies. They're watery and thus not very filling or flavorful. You're better off getting a sandwich (again, as this was my 2nd visit) or going somewhere else for a smoothie.

Just one block away from South Beach on 14th Street, this place is a very popular fast food spot…read more Since South Beach restaurants are either expensive (20% gratuity even for a party of two) or extremely crowded, we walked one block inland and found this place. From a distance, it looks like a food truck, but it's actually a full setup designed to look that way. Even in the scorching heat, there was a line--but it moved quickly. Their menu has everything. Think of it as a Subway style setup, but with smoothies, tropical ingredients, and lots of fresh options. Now the main part...We ordered- Chicken Mix Baguette Tuna Baguette Am I the only one who found it just okay? At Subway, at least they toast the bread for a bit. Here, I genuinely struggled with the hard bread--it was tough to chew. Also, the meats were cold, which I'm not used to. I knew that beforehand, but still wanted to try this hyped spot. They have about 5-7 bar style stools for seating, but in the humidity, it's not the most comfortable experience. Freshness (smoothies & ingredients): 5/5 Overall taste & experience: 3/5 Or maybe we're just spoiled by the big fast food chains?

It might look very boring, but it was one of the most delicious things I've ever tried out. The mix of spices were incredible and I don't think I've ever tried out anything like this. My friend loved her meal as well and we both think that this ended up being the best restaurant in Miami where we went during this trip. Ambiance of the restaurant was also stunning and you could see historic and thoughtfully picked decorations all over the restaurant. Servers were amazing as well, welcoming and conversational with a great attitude. Hope to be back someday!

I have spent a few in Miami, been to enough joints to judge, and Moreno's is par, avg, mid. I chose…read moreto sit in Moreno's living room at the high top (bar). Pretty cool digs to start. The ARG Bartender was nice and helped me sort thorough some fun cocktails! This was the fun part. TIP ALERT - I forgot about the foreigner tax. I thought my bill was high but I was a single sitting by myself on a Thursday Night. Never thought they would add 20% automatically. Welp, they did and I definitely overpaid for everything. It's on me but buyer beware. 3: 1) Dark & Stormy followed by a Mezcal Mule hit! We're rolling.... 2) My favorite Cuban dish is Lechon Asádo (braised pork dish). This is the -2 stars. I need my braised pork to have a little char, little crispy fatty edges, and a salty/mojo finish. Lechon was cooked to a very moist tender and good consistency just not how I like it. AND they are my stars so I will do what I want! 3) Accoutrements were done well (White Rice, Black Beans, and charred plantains). No complaints here. Good start but the 1 note Lechon Asádo hurt me!

This charming Italian café serves house-made desserts, savory pizzas and sandwiches, and authentic, perfectly brewed coffee. They bake throughout the day, and you can even watch trays of fresh goods come straight from the forno. The pizzas are drizzled with rich extra virgin olive oil and topped with vibrant, fresh ingredients -- simple and delicious. Friendly (and good-looking) staff, great music, and seating inside and on the patio create that lively neighborhood café feel. I ended up going back every single day of my stay. Bellissimo!

Excellent Japanese Sandos, Its a must try!…read more My favorite were the Fish Sando, and Chicken Katsu. I also tried the egg salad and Pork. They were all pretty good. I would definitely be back to try the sweet Sandos. They were all out of sweet Sandos when I visited.

Coming from someone who lived off of Sandos in Japan I can tell you these are pretty legit. But let's quickly talk about how amazing this curry rice is. First off, we got the chicken for this one and it was mind blowingly juicy, crispy and the curry sauce was giving. You know I love a good curry. Their egg sando was extremely creamy and they do not skimp on the filling. But as you can tell they specialize on the katsu which is basically breaded chicken or pork. We got their pork katsu sando and it was divine. That was not for the weak. You are guaranteed to leave stuffed. But before you waive the flag you have to try their fruit Sandos and I was conflicted on what was my favorite but the ube with mango was a gorgeous contrast.

This is a small sandwich shop. I want to emphasize the small. Because of the size and the…read morepopularity, there is often a line to get in. It's worth it to wait in this line. They keep it moving fast, so typically the line moves right along. Every time I come here, I tell myself I am going to try something new, but I don't because the pan con bistec is always perfection. The steak is thinly sliced, so the sandwich has great texture. It has fontina cheese, which is definitely unique for a steak sandwich in Little Havana. The star, though, is the mojo rojo they put on it. It gives this sandwich an absolute twist you won't find anywhere else. So trust me when I say, wait in the line!

Come for: any sandwich, any side…read more Know that: line gets long Wow...this place completely changed how I felt about cubanos. Never did I believe it could be so good. The restaurant is a classic touristy hole in the wall. You stand outside until ready to order, be prepared to wait 30+ mins. I ordered 2 sandwiches, cuban fries, and chicharrones to split with a friend. The cubano (5/5) and pan con bistec (5/5) were absolutely excellent. Both had a perfect ratio of meat and sauce. But what really set it apart was the crispy crusted bread. Spectacular! The chicharrones (4/5) were a steal - MASSIVE portion for like $5. Insane deal, and delicious. The cuban nachos (4.5/5) had their amazing sauce and garlic confit lechon on it. Delicious and would order both again. Overall, this is a tourist spot but one I don't think can be missed.
