    Rabo encendido.
    Joseph S.

    As a local El Dos Ruedas is one of my go-to spots. I'm there about every other week, and it never disappoints. The prices are great, especially for authentic Cuban food that actually tastes like it should. I can't stop recommending the rabo encendido (oxtail) and the huevos a la cazuela. Both are absolute standouts. Every person I've brought ends up wanting to come back, which says a lot. The only downside is the service can be a bit slow, very Caribbean style, so don't come in a rush. But honestly, the food more than makes up for it every time and the people are super nice. I love this place!

    Ok so I come here for the ox tail ! It's the best I've had! The price is very reasonable. They give you the best bread when u first sit and their batido de trigo is amazing . Staff is super friendly. Will continue to come here!

    El Dos Ruedas "Colossal Cortadito"

    Hi everybody! So I decided today that I would checkout a local no nonsense lunch spot in the Pinecrest / Palmetto Bay Area that had been recommended. "El Dos Ruedas" was nearby where I was running some errands, so I decided to check them out and I am very happy that I did. As expected they were very busy but in a few minutes I was sitting down and talking to my server. Seeing as this is down home Cuban lunch spot, I opted for the Steak Sandwich, a couple of Croquetas and a cup of their soup of the day, "Ajiaco". All food items were excellent and the service was courteous and fast. Afterwards I ordered the obligatory "Cortadito" aka Cuban Macchiato and outside of being awesome it was huge! Talk about value.... The portion sizes were excellent and their prices were extremely affordable to boot. The most expensive item on the menu was a whole fried snapper for $17 which is unheard of really. Most food items range between $2 and $10 which is great. Normally you would think cheap prices mean bad food but that is not the case at all here guys. Everything is very fresh as I would expect it to be with so much traffic. The restaurant is not large but they do move tables fast from what I could see so no issues there. Additionally, they also have plenty of parking as they are located in a strip mall but it can get a little congested at lunch time. Ambiance was great as well and very welcoming but that is pretty typical for family owned Cuban restaurants. Well I certainly will be coming back whenever I can and if you want to get some great quality affordable no nonsense Cuban food, you should definitely give them a shot. Hey, great opportunity to put those Spanish lessons to use! Just sayin.... LOL! Wishing everyone a great day. Enjoy and Bon Appétit!

    This place never disappoints.. every time I go the food is GREAT! The service is great as well.

    We just left zoo Miami and we are a family of four. We were craving some authentic Cuban food . We didn't want to drive too far and thankfully this place popped up . We really enjoyed this little gem. The food was delicious. We didn't wait long at all. we are very satisfied.

    Super good super cheap cuban food

    A great deal for authentic cuban food in the southwest part of the miami area. A good sign - lots of guys sitting at the diner style counter and many locals coming to pick up to go orders. We were seated right away and the menu was extremely reasonable with menu items priced from $4 to just under 8 dollars. Seriously there might have been something over 8 but I dont remember seeing it. They had an extensive breakfast menu and I wish it had been that time of day cuz I do love some breakfast but since it was nighttime I went with the fried pork plate. You get to choose 3 sides with your item and they bring out baskets of buttery garlic bread. Some other items my party got were the creole shrimp, flank steak, seafood soup (a meal in itself) and the rice with squid (and accompanying ink). Everyone liked their dishes and while it looked like our food might take a long time service was pretty quick. The best local food places are in strip malls like this...I highly recommend.

    The food is amazing and it's cheap too. The portion is big as well! The servers were really sweet, especially since we didn't speak Spanish.

The meat was moist and tender but I preferred the Bistec and the Cubano. They also provided a garlic dipping sauce which was very flavorful. However I felt that it overpowered a lot of the sandwich flavors. I also got the Mamey Batida which was smooth and subtle with its sweetness. My first time having a Batida and I really liked the consistency but will probably be choose a different flavor next time.

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.

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.

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.
