    Just an ok restaurant. Good service on a busy Sunday afternoon. Food had no seasoning or flavor whatsoever. I ordered the ropa vieja empanada and the lechon empanada and didn't care for them. Better in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. Agua Fresca was $9 and nothing special about it. Live music playing, casual ambiance. I don't think I would consider coming here again. Pricey...

    Monday's $6.00 coco and guava mojitos are absolutely delicious.... The fried yuca with the sauce is very tasty, as is the papa rellena...plus the Cuban sandwich... Enjoying the weather on the patio...the servant was both tentative and professional...

    Food ok. We had the empanadas: Chorizo and cheese, Spinach and Cheese and Ropa Vieja . All good options for a quick bite. Service not great. Outdoor seating was nice and it's situated right at the heart of Little Havana. But I'm sure we could have found a better place to get a bite to eat.

    Great service! Got Cubana which was great and the seafood stew which is delicious with the hot sauce! Also got carne and chorizo empanada and the chorizo was yummier!

    First time in Little Havana. Incredible sandwich. Homemade bread. Excellent service. And I was surprised at the price. More than reasonable. Can't wait to go back if I've ever hear again.

    Here's your review with corrected grammar and flow: "Hello Yelpers! Quick review of this spot: The food was good, and the price wasn't bad for being on famous Calle Ocho. It was delicious! I had a regular breakfast with eggs, homemade potatoes, and ham, which came with coffee with milk and toasted Cuban bread, plus an extra order of eggs. My cousin ordered a BLT (bacon, lettuce, tomato), which he said was delicious and looked great in the photos. The server, an older lady, was attentive, as were the other staff, which was nice since it was empty when we arrived. She even shared the secret to a good Cuban cafe con leche (coffee with milk) - a big plus! The ambiance feels very Miami, modern Cuban with the classic rooster at the door and wooden seating. Definitely recommend if you're from out of town!".

    We were visiting Miami exploring Little Havana when we decided to stop here for lunch because of reviews. Big mistake! The place was busy, but we sat for over 20 minutes before our server even acknowledged us. She eventually took our order, but we never received our drinks and no one checked on us again. Meanwhile, people around us were being seated, getting drinks, and getting their food. My friend tried to say something to another server, but it didn't seem to go anywhere. The whole experience felt awkward and unwelcoming, so we ended up leaving and going elsewhere for lunch. Definitely disappointing.

    One of the best beef empanadas!

    Well known place by locals. Was told this place been here for over 40 years??? Many movies have been filmed here too. Tried their coffee and beef empanada. They were one of the best beef empanada I had. Full of juicy beef filling. Their hot sauce really elevated the empanadas tasting.

    Came here around lunch time on a Friday. This is such a cool Miami Cuban vibe spot with a lot of history, they've filmed scenes here from war dogs, power, and Ballers with The Rock Dwayne Johnson. When I went, they had live music playing; it was so lively and fun. I sat at the bar and kept seeing all these amazing looking sandwiches coming out for different tables. I ended up getting the steak sandwich with a mojito. mojitos are a must in Little Havana. Everything was delicious and fresh. the atmosphere was great; it gives you that authentic local feel.

    Being a Miami native, I remember little havana being run down and not a tourist place, and el pub has been there since I was a kid. So visiting town, we decided to stop for some cuban food for old memories. We ordered a churassco and a fritanga for mains, then quarto leche and arroz fon leche for dessert. Service was friendly and quick. Food was delicious and just like i remember 30 years ago. While little havana is very different, the food still hits the same.

    Coffee window at El Pub
    Jennifer H.

    I was on a walking tour of Little Havana in Miami and happened to find this cute coffee window. Had to try the Cafe Cubano and a chicken empanada. Most Cuban restaurants have a walk up window just for coffees and snacks. My order was taken quickly by a friendly server behind the window and was ready promptly. The Cafe Cubano was served as it should be, hot and sweet. I loved the empanada too. It was loaded with chicken and veggies. A definite must try in Miami!!!

    I stopped here before heading to the airport for another empanada, thele best chicken empanadas on the Little Havana strip. The service is great and food came out fast. A must visit when in Little Havana!!

Champagne…read morewas served as soon as we were seated, and we were also treated to a complimentary baba ghanoush, which was excellent. We started with the bone marrow appetizer, and it was truly outstanding -- incredibly balanced, rich without being overwhelming, and so good we couldn't stop talking about it. We ordered the steak and eggs. The crunchy brioche, earthy mushroom purée, and beautifully sliced steak came together perfectly, and the saltiness of the caviar tied everything together in a really thoughtful way. The picanha was another standout! incredibly tender and full of flavor. We paired it with the broccolini and wagyu fat potatoes, both of which were absolutely delicious. To finish, we shared the ube cheesecake empanada. We were a bit hesitant at first, but it turned out to be the perfect ending to an already fantastic meal. The cocktails throughout the night were also excellent. We enjoyed the restaurant so much that we brought friends back later the same week. That visit was just as impressive -- we ordered the tomahawk steak, garden salad, bone marrow (again!), steak and eggs, truffle fries, broccolini, carrots, and tried all of the desserts. Once again, everything was delicious across the board. The only area for improvement would be the service. Everyone was kind and attentive, but at times too quick to clear plates and not proactive enough with the next course. At a restaurant of this caliber, I'd expect the dessert menu to be offered immediately after plates are cleared, rather than needing to track down a server. Overall, the food is exceptional, and we'll absolutely be back.

Wow, honestly, hands down the best wings I've ever had. The lime and sticky sauce were insane and unique, 10/10. The shimeji mushrooms were delightfully light, earthy, and herbaceous. The lotus root salad had an acidic sauce a slight spice from chili peppers, and was full of crunch. Finally, the Banana milk tres leches - the sweetness is subtle from the banana milk and coconut flakes, and the crunch from the cookie topping was a nice complement to the soft cake. My only complaint about the dessert was that it was tiny, but I'm also a dessert gal down boots. Lol Highly recommend leaning into the buzz and making a res.

Don't get me wrong, the ambiance is great and the vibes are calm and welcoming. The service was great. I was impressed with the prices and was excited for the food, considering this place has a Michelin rating. We got the goat curry, wings, and jungle steak tartare. The jungle steak tartare was really good and had a hint of sweetness. The wings had a really good crisp and great flavor, also a bit sweet. The goat curry was what disappointed me. I was expecting very flavorful curry, but it was much more bland and the goat was dry. I'm not saying the food was bad by any means. It was good; I just don't think it's as amazing as everyone describes, and my hopes were higher considering the ratings. I'm glad we tried it, but I probably will not return for more.

From the simple fish empanadas to the whole fried snapper, everything is delicious. Their seafood soup and conch soup are absolute must-try items for me; just writing this makes me crave them. If you order the fried shrimp or fish pieces, make sure to get the sauce as well. It's a great spot for healthy eating or for pescatarians since they only serve seafood. The service is straightforward: you just stand in line to order. While it isn't always packed, there are days with long lines and heavy wait times, but the staff tries to be fast and efficient. As for the ambiance, the restaurant is located in the heart of Allapattah. It features outdoor seating and smells of the sea; it might not look like much, but I guarantee the food is out of this world. You won't find another place like this with such fresh ingredients and amazing flavors. I will recommend this to my children and grandchildren, and I hope my entire legacy continues this tradition. To my fellow Yelpers: what are you waiting for? Go check them out!
