My boyfriend and I recently took a trip to Miami, and we made it a point to try a Cuban restaurant we never had before. We made the best choice by coming here. The decor is fitting and authentic. The service is top tier, friendly, and very personable. Every single thing we ate was a 10 out of 10. The ropa vieja was perfectly seasoned, and it was probably the best I have ever had. The Frituras De Malanga were tasty, cooked well, and perfectly seasoned. The cortado at the end of the meal was some of the best Cuban coffee in Miami. Needless to say, we will be back every trip!! read more

This is a lovely restaurant with charming antique décor. The atmosphere makes you feel as though you are visiting the home of a Cuban family. Our waitress was warm and welcoming, greeting us with a pleasant smile and helping us choose our meals by offering thoughtful recommendations based on our preferences. I selected the fish stew served over rice with plantains, while my husband chose the garlic shrimp with rice and black beans. We did not leave a single bite on our plates. The food was absolutely delicious -- each dish was balanced, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Although dessert was tempting, we declined because we were both completely full and satisfied. If you are looking for authentic Cuban cuisine served in a cozy, homey atmosphere, be sure to visit Habana Con B in the heart of Little Havana. read more

As we entered the restaurant, we were promptly greeted by Lauren one of the owners of this family run Cuban restaurant tucked away on Calle Ocho. We had just left the Marlins game and we were in the mood for a quick bite to eat I had the traditional Cuban sandwich which was moist, tasty, delicious, made with quality ingredients. The hubs had the Churrasco steak sandwich with a few alterations to his liking. They were accommodating and the sandwich was cooked to juicy perfection. Everything came out as ordered and served with a smile. Look forward to returning and having a traditional Cuban meal. read more

So far the best hands down Cuban little hole in the wall restaurant. It's a cute mom and pop restaurant that has about 8 different tables inside that serves traditional Cuban plates with lovely coffee and smoothie selections. The woman that runs the front is the sweetest little angel that is working non-stop to make sure you as a patron has the best experience. The wait for the food is worth it. The traditional fish stew was the first plate I've tried and was heavenly - perfectly seasoned with a nice balanced plate with ensalada and plantains. The maracuya smoothie was perfect as well with no added sugars (all natural). You won't regret coming here. read more

This was my first time visiting this restaurant in Miami. Went to a concert and at the top of my list was to try some Cuban food before I left. This small family owned restaurant was my choice based on all the great reviews they received. The restaurant is eclectic in decorations, the tables and chairs are valid sizes and mismatched. But, that lends itself to the homey feel. The hostess and server is one of the family that owns this restaurant. The food is fresh and made to order. Don't be in a rush when you go here. Trust me the food is worth the wait. My favorite was the empanada. The pastry was flaky and crisp. It was one of the best empanadas that I've had and I'm still thinking about it. Visit Habana Con B you won't regret it. read more

Definitely a hole in the wall!! I usually pass by this area and never really noticed until today! Walked in and immediately the decor was superb. So so cute! Very welcoming ambiance and perfect for pictures. The server is the sweetest and makes sure we're taken care of every moment. We ordered the Ropa vieja empanadas which were delicious but could used more filling of meat. It's a 60/40 ratio but the taste is impeccable, & the cilantro sauce is definitely homemade so fresh and paired perfectly. While we waited for our main dish we played domino which made the experience more homely. To finish off we had the churrasco sandwich which was good just wish is was made on cuban bread and had a little more flavor to it ! The restaurant is pricey for only getting 4 items was about $65,But overall the spot is adorable and the service is 10/10. read more

I had the chicken with chimichurri, salad and matures. My wife the Cameron's with garlic and butter. I flushed it down with 2 ice cold beers. Their cordatitos are well done as well.

Amazing authentic restaurant in Little Havana run by a lovely couple from Cuba. The food was nothing short of amazing! The churrasco was soft and juicy, the Ropa Vieja was 'sabrosa' and the Cuban sandwich exactly what you would expect in La 'Habana'. We ended the meal with Flan Cubano and Tres Leches Cubano. Perfect evening for our group of 7. We will return and will strongly suggest others to visit. You will not be disappointed. read more

Well, we found this place on Yelp of course so it looked like a really good place that we needed to try. We didn't have a reservation so we were worried about not being able to get a table being that the place is not that big. There was three of us so we decided to sit at two different tables that seated two people each at each table because they didn't have any other tables available. The waitress/daughter of the owner was really nice and helpful. She brought us water to our tables right away and gave us menus. We ordered a picture of sangria and a sampler appetizer plate. What was all on that appetizer plate? The appetizer plate came with Yuuka fries, Tostones with pork, beef empanada, croquettes, and ham, and cheese. Everything about that dish was delicious, the empanada dough was nice and fluffy, the pork inside of the empanadas was tender and tasteful, the pork Tostones was delicious as well, and the ham and cheese, of course is always good. For our entrées, we ordered the Cuban sandwich to share, and the lechom asado with sweet plantains, and rice with black beans. The pork sandwich was delicious, l the ham the pork all came together and the bread was nice and fluffy, the pork plate was cooked, perfect ,tender, juicy, and the rice and beans had so much flavor and the sweet plantains were just great. For dessert we had the Flan. This was one of the best read more

The service was fantastic. The restaurant is small and intimate, with a cozy, slightly older vibe. Our waitress greeted us, seated us, and provided the menu. We started with empanadas, which were delicious, followed by the poblanos rellenos, also very tasty. For our main course, we shared the white rice with chicken and black bean stew, which was decent, but not as impressive as the other dishes. To finish, we had the tres leches, which was absolutely amazing. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

I recently attended the 2024 Calle Ocho Festival in Little Havana, and in speaking with other attendees, I kept encountering questions that centered on the same themes: What happened to the old Calle Ocho  Festival? Why has it become so overly commercialized? And, most importantly, for purposes of this review, Is there any place on Calle Ocho where we can experience an authentic Cuban ambiance and REAL Cuban food? Well, I am elated to report that there indeed is such a place. Just a short walk east of SW 11th Avenue, you will arrive at 10O5 SW 8th Street,  the home of Habana con B ("Habana with a 'B'") Habana con B is not your typical touristy restaurant offering a watered-down version of Cuban food... Habana con B is The Real Deal. The restaurant, which has only been open for a few months, definitely exhibits that "wow" factor that you experience the first time you enter a great restaurant. The magic commences the minute you walk through the door and are greeted by co-owner and hostess Laurent, who will welcome you with a genuinely sincere and welcoming smile. From the succulent pork in the tostones rellenos to the savory magic of the camarones al ajillo... to the out-of-this-world desserts (flan and tres leches being the standouts), not to mention their delectable croquetas and empanadas, a visit to Habana con B amounts to a mouthwatering feast for your taste buds. To top it all off, Laurent will prepare for you the best sweet Cuban espresso this side of heaven. I have been there many times, and they never fail to amaze me with the quality of the food, the subdued elegance of its ambiance, and the warmth of its staff. Habana con B is truly a down-home family restaurant. Kitchen duties are principally handled by Laurent's Dad Victor, who is a professional chef, and her Mom, Mildrey, who also cooks up a delicious storm of true Cuban delights. Whether you have been to La Habana or not, a visit to Habana con B will prove to be an experience like no other in Little Havana; one that you will, no doubt, remember, and rave about, for days to come. read more

We had a wonderful meal at Habana con B. The service was fantastic. I love it when the staff is confident about the food and gives recommendations based on what they like best. We loved: roast pork, fish croquettes, black beans, yucca, and rice. The flan was among the best we've ever had. This is an absolute must-try and I believe that this is the best Cuban food in Miami and possibly the US. read more

Before we left we ordered a Cuban sandwich to go. We didn't want to miss getting that. We can't wait to have that for lunch today. (No pic, sorry) read more

If you're craving authentic Cuban cuisine that's absolutely delectable, you must check out this restaurant. The ambiance is warm and cozy, evoking a sense of nostalgia. The decor will transport you straight into a charming dining room in Havana. The owner is incredibly welcoming and friendly. I really enjoyed the fish croquettes and the fish enchilado. I highly recommend choosing the yucca as a side dish for the meal. It complements the dish exceptionally well. I'm daydreaming about it as I'm writing this review. They have fresh house-made juice there as well. I tried the watermelon juice and it was so refreshing. I will definitely make a stop here every time I am in Miami and so should you. read more

Out of 6 places we wanted to try, we ended up here because the other 5 had a long line and long wait. Cute and quaint restaurant. Service was excellent and food was delicious. We ordered the empanadas, Churrasco chimichurri, & lechon asado. The order came with 2 Empanadas. They were big but not completely filled. The filling was shredded beef. The meat tasted sinilar to ropa vieja. It wa very tasty and the crema that came with it complimented them. Churrasco was cooked medium rare (how we wanted). The rice was buttery and addicting. Lechon asado was good but we have had better. Definite a place worth trying if other restaurants are crowded and you don't want ti wait. read more

I loved this cute little cuban restaurant! If I lived here, I'd probably come back all the time! This appears to be a family run place, managed with lots of love. Polite and attentive service. It was quiet, especially compared to the loud restaurant/ bars further to the West on Calle Ocho. They serve typical cuban dishes. We split the appetizer sampler plate and a cuban sandwich. Both were delish! I especially loved splitting the sampler platter, as we could try several items without getting over-loaded! Also, for an after dinner treat, there is a nice little gelato shop right around the corner. read more

First off, I would have lost faith in yelp if this place did not have five stars. As you walk in, it feels like you're walking into someone's home and the service reinforces that. I felt as if I was being treated like family. They have Cuban music playing throughout which gave it a great Havana feeling. Now the food. Outstanding. Every dish we had was delicious, but the flan had to be the best we've ever had. I'm not much of a dessert guy so I don't post about them but this is an exception. Second to none and a must if you're around this restaurant. read more

I saw the Yelp reviews and decided we had to try this place since we were in Little Havana. One of the store vendors also recommended this place. The restaurant is run by a family. The mother and father cook and their daughter is the maitre d and waitress. She is very friendly and warm and very caring about her customers. We shared an order of croquettes and roasted pork with plantains and mouro (rice and beans). Everything was delicious. The place is beautifully decorated and was done by the owner. Check out the bar counter, her husband designed it. The restaurant is a bit further away from the part of Calle Ocho that has lots of restaurants. It's worth checking out. read more

The wife and I stopped in to eat lunch before catching an afternoon baseball game. The place is privately owned and the owner works in the restaurant. Love it. The ambiance is quite charming. From the mural on the wall to the mis-matched tables, (one is domino table.) The food is amazing and cooked with love. We ordered ham croquetas for an appetizer. Fresh, hot, and really good with the garlic cilantro aoli. The wife had the Cuban Sandwich & I had the Pork Sandwich. Neither disappointed. Great food. Great service.

We came here as tourist, wanting to try an authentic Cuban taste, and let me tell you guys... We visited Miami, and we had a goal in mind; to try the most authentic Cuban food they had. We tried multiple places, and unfortunately did not meet our expectations. Some places were either too loud, rude waitresses, and the environment was just not too family friendly. Some mom and pop places were ok, but for a family of kids, it seemed like the main goal was to show as much cleavage as possible lol While the place is quite small YET cozy, I loved the atmosphere. Our waitress, who also happens to be the owner, was very modest, and an absolute sweetheart. The food was AMAZING. I will also say, the menu basically consists of your most common Cuban appetizers, and most common dishes. Keep in mind this is not a big chain restaurant like "The Cheesecake Factory" or "Texas Roadhouse" and while the menu is not too broad, the portions are pretty decent and you will NOT be disappointed. The camarones al ajillo and the churrasco sandwich are to read more
