No focus on aesthetics or trendy decor, just a classic, old-school atmosphere. There were a few tables filled, a couple of people at the bar, and a steady stream of to-go orders. It reminded me of life before the pandemic. I don't live in the area, but if I did I'd probably become a regular. The food was exactly what you'd expect from a spot like this, not sensational, but solid and satisfying.

I've been here a few times - I will say about 5 years ago I loved it here. Recently I went back…read moretwice in the last 2 months and both times I've been disappointed. The service is slow and confusing, the food is underwhelming and I believe it is overpriced for the overall experience and quality. First, with the service - we always wait a long time to be served and when we do there are always drinks or requests missing. Today we asked for 4 waters in addition to our drinks and we had to ask twice more throughout the meal for the additional 2 waters to be brought. We were served our food with no cutlery or napkins and when I asked for it they sent over a manager more than 5min later as our food got cold. Regarding the food- it's definitely Instagram worthy for the most part but the flavor is underwhelming. I ordered the Croque Madame and it came missing the bechamel sauce, when I asked the server where it was/ if I could have more he insisted multiple times that that was not part of the dish... the bechamel sauce is what makes it a croque Madame. The flavor of the pancakes was grainy and dry, and despite ordering a decaf cappuccino my cappuccino was definitely not decaf. At the end of the meal both times we've been recently been, they show us the total on the screen but not the break down of the meal and try to scam you into adding additional tip without disclosing that there is already a service charge included. I'm not against tipping on top of the service charge if the experience is good! But in this case it was not warranted. While the concept is cute and they tried with the decor and vibe it's just missing the mark for me. I will not be returning.

As for beverage I got the delicious and refreshing passion fruit- mango. Although i didn't eat at the restaurant all my food was packed nicely and my beverage was nicely wrap and arrive at perfect temperature including my cold and frozen juice. I can't wait to visit this restaurant in person and continue trying more delicious dishes!! Photos can't do justice to the deliciousness of my food but the photo I took will make you laugh!!

In the pictures there are both and it was 9$ for basically canned soup. Tasted awful. Ordered spinach croquettes. They were tiny but delicious, well prepared and worth it. Ordered Moro rice-inedible. Dry. Dry. Dry. And the only flavor was salt. Not sure why they would send the last bit of rice from the pot that sat out all day, but that is what I got. Ordered vegetables-the picture is broccoli, cauliflower and carrots in garlic sauce. I got a few pieces of iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, onions and some cucumbers. That pissed me off since it was not at all what I ordered. Maybe I ordered the wrong things, because the review here are pretty positive. Tried to call the restaurant to see why they didn't include the actual vegetables and decided a salad was a good substitute. No answer. So I won't be eating from here again. Disappointed.

We went later in the day so there wasn't a lot of medialunas left. The medialunas didn't taste as fresh, but were still delicious. We also ordered two sanguches de miga, one toasted. They were delicious, perfectly toasted and fluffy. Can't wait to go back earlier, and enjoy more facturas options.

And the server was really bad, we were sat in a table of 4 people and the server come to us said I'm going to take the chair (empty) because I see your not using the chair and placed it to other table that was only for 2 people and placed it so the 3 person can sit there and the server got the chair from my table. That was very frustrating on her part I'm very angry on my experience from today.

I recently visited The Original Pancake House on Biscayne Boulevard in Aventura and left feeling a…read morebit underwhelmed. The service was friendly and efficient, and the restaurant was clean, but the food simply didn't live up to the reputation. For a place that specializes in pancakes, I expected something memorable. Unfortunately, the pancakes were just average--nothing particularly fluffy, flavorful, or worth making a special trip for. They weren't bad, but they certainly weren't the standout breakfast item I was hoping for. The atmosphere was another disappointment. The dining room felt more like a cafeteria than a cozy breakfast spot. It was bright, busy, and functional, but lacked the warmth and character that make breakfast outings enjoyable. Overall, it's a decent place if you're in the area and want a quick breakfast, but with so many breakfast options in South Florida, I don't see myself going out of my way to return. Three stars because the service was good and the food was acceptable, but neither the pancakes nor the atmosphere gave me a reason to be excited about coming back.

It's rare to find a spot that draws you back 24 hours later, but this place is a total standout in Miami. Despite having a larger group this time, we were greeted warmly and seated immediately. The service was excellent from start to finish--attentive, friendly, and perfectly paced for a family dinner. We kicked things off with the Cuban sampler, which was the perfect introduction to the menu and got everyone excited for the main event. Every dish that hit the table was a hit: the Red Snapper was incredibly fresh, and the Chicharron de Pollo had that perfect crunch. My wife really enjoyed the Chicken Milanesa, but for me, the Paella was the star of the show--rich, authentic, and packed with flavor. It's safe to say everything was delicious yet again. We've officially added this to our "must-visit" list for every trip to Miami. If you're looking for a meal that feels both high-quality and welcoming, you can't beat this spot. We'll definitely be back!

Needed to do errands in North Miami, so Little Havana came up as a place to go for Cubanos. It has…read morethree locations in Miami, with this one in North Miami being the original, opened in 1991. We dined in, and the visit blew away the food from the previous week. I really like Cuban sandwiches, so will be something my brother and I keep seeking out during short visits to Miami. We had a one-day rental car, so found Little Havana Restaurant, coming a bit after peak lunch time. It's on a major street, with surface angled parking in the back. There are a lot of wild birds in the area, with their guano being everywhere outside. It's a big dining area inside, and we were immediately directed to a prime location with views of their small lush adjacent green space, and the birds that live there. Elizabeth was our server, with water and complementary rolls being immediately offered by helpers. She and her team were great throughout, offering suggestions and bringing the food nice and hot. We ordered off the Happy Hour menu (11:30 - 18:00 M-F) and the Lunch Special Menu (11:30 - 16:00). We were greatly satisfied with every dish Shrimp in Garlic Sauce, appetizer size ($14.99) - 5 jumbo tail-on shrimp, sauteed in a scampi type sauce. It's what you expect when you douse good shrimp with a butter garlic sauce. The appetizer does not come with rice/beans, but we had plenty of it from the other dishes...loved spooning the sauce over the rice while eating. Roast Pork Lunch ($12.99) - what a deal. A dish of pulled pork with a big piece of fried pork skin on top...reminded me of the Filipino lechon, or even the Hawaiian kalua pork, with the tenderness of the mean. It came with a big scoop of rice and a bowl of red beans. Lamb Shank ($18.49) - This was recommended by Elizabeth when asked by my brother, what he shouldn't miss. It's a Cuban special, cooked in wine sauce. It was a big piece, still on the bone, coming with a big plate of rice and fried plantains. He enjoyed it, though he was struggling a bit at the end. Cuban Sandwich ($12.49) - A full size Cuban sandwich, cut in half. It had been grilled on a sandwich press with a little oil, resulting in the cuban bread being crispy at the top. It had the right mix of that same delicious pulled pork, along with ham, melted swiss, mustard and pickle slices. It was very good, great value for the price. Paying was done at the top, and we intentionally did not take any leftovers. There is a framed newspaper article from 1991 in the lobby, where you can read more about their origins.

But the servers at the restaurant were so nice, and we found a table inside and another outside. Since we were 4 people, we needed 2 tables, so they helped us move the table from inside to the outside, and we were able to sit outside. Between, if you plan to sit inside, it's really cold. So we started with some delicious tequenos! They tasted so fresh and the dough was good! For the main, I ordered the Arepa Super Pelua which has shredded beef, Gouda cheese, avocado, and a fried egg on top. Now, that was big! It might easily be shared between 2 people plus a couple of appetizers. My friends ordered the Sifrina, Llanera, and some cheese empanadas. Everything was delicious and fast! For drinks, my friends ordered the Chicha, which was ok because it was way too sweet for me. I had the passion fruit juice and it was really good too.
