    Vaca Frita
    Andres A.

    Over food was good definitely recommend the food I tried which was the vaca frita and croqueta platter, however the prices on the menu for certain items where kinda crazy. It's more or less comparable to your local Cuban spot so not sure why prices were a bit high for certain items. The restaurant itself is really interesting with a lot of design put into it. We sat inside but next time will probably sit outside since it was awkwardly quiet inside. I think they need some music playing or something. Overall good experience and the staff was very friendly and attentive!

    My daughter's took me here for Mother's Day. I loved the Ambiance of the restaurant, And the color on the walls. The food was delicious and a perfect place to dress up and go to dinner. Then we passed by the ice cream shop afterwards. Hidden Gem in Homestead!

    Cuban Sandwich
    Deb H.

    Yum! Best Cuban food we had outside of Calle Ocho (we tried three Cuban restaurants on our long weekend in Miami and this was a close second favorite after our favorite in Little Havana) We went at an off time (4pm on a Saturday) and got seated right away. This is my ranking of the experience: Cafe Cubano 10/10 Cuban sandwich 7/10 Vaca Frita 10/10 (yum!!!!!) Maduros (sweet plantains) 10/10 Pechuga Rellena (rolled chicken breast with ham & cheese) 8/10 Arroz Blanco (white rice) 8/10 Black beans 10/10 Moros (mix of beans & rice) 9/10 Ambiance 8/10 Service 7/10 There's slim pickings of good restaurants in this area and I think Havana Spice is the best in the area!

    Great Cuban / Latin cuisine spot with a long menu. I recommend the lechon asado or the churrasco-- both give you a lot of food and are full of flavor and well priced. The ambience is very Cuban, colorful, and vibrant. Great service with a smile and prompt. I love this spot and want to bring others so I will def come back.

    Lunch on the patio at Havana Spice in Homestead FL

    Hidden gem (30 years in Homestead) and authentic good food- nice people! Vaca chicken and Lima soltado were both good- flan was good too!

    A local recommended this restaurant to us. We got two different types of food, and it seemed like they came from two different restaurants. Two of us got sandwiches, and they were good but not great. One of us got a chicken dish and it was incredible. So- order carefully! We sat out on the patio, which was eclectically decorated. It seemed like the inside was unique as well but we didn't see much. The menus had a ton of handwritten items added in, but some of them weren't on every menu. The servers were nice and everyone seemed willing to help. Our food came at very different times, but it did all come. As I mentioned, the sandwiches were good. My friend ordered a cream cheese, turkey, and strawberry jam sandwich, which was delicious. I ordered a hamburger that came with raw diced onions and potato strings. The meat was flavored and soft and not like an American hamburger at all, but very good. My other friend ordered a simple chicken dish that was spectacular. The portion was huge, the chicken was moist and flavorful, and the sides were amazing. Come and enjoy but order carefully!

    Frita Cubana Sandwich
    Tricia G.

    We had such high hopes based on the reviews and overall atmosphere when we arrived. While the food was ok, I can't in good conscience rate this restaurant anything higher than mid range due to their unbelievably exorbitant prices. Fish sandwich $49. Fried rice $35+. We each ordered the least expensive things we could find, salads and sandwiches. We didn't even order drinks as a basic mojito was $19.

    Chicharrones & Guacamole

    Great variety of Cuban and other Hispanic cuisine. We did the Chicharron & Guacamole appetizer but it was big enough for a meal. The Cuban sandwiches are about twice as big as most of the Cuban restaurants in Florida. Service was fast and friendly. The outdoor seating is really relaxing with all the plants, flowers, and fancy painted pottery and statues.

    I've been here a few times, the food is amazing, taste very good. They give huge portions as well, you definitely are going to leave full, the servers are very attentive, the ambiance is spectacular, the outside area is very nice, the inside dinning is to as well. I usually always get Voca Frita here, or sometimes chicken breast the skirt steak is good too. I love Cuban food

    Vaca Pollo
    Ella N.

    Worth the drive down south for some awesome and authentic Cuban food. Great atmosphere very traditionally Hispanic decor with color and creativity. Super attentive and friendly staff.

    Do they offer delivery?

    Yes - they are available through UberEats

    Is this owned by the people that operated the old Havana Spice on US1 and like 88th?

    Well I'm not sure I know that Erika the waitress has been with them for years and years maybe they changed owners and kept her but the food it's amazing.

Everyone in our group loved what they ordered. The food was delicious, the sizes were generous and the prices were great. It was around 9:30-10pm when we arrived and the place was still busy. It was fancier than I expected with a bit of a sports bar twist. The menus were on iPads. Our server was friendly and helped a couple people with their orders. I hadn't had black beans and rice in a while so I ordered it as my side along with the plantains and couldn't have made a better choice. I had a Cuban sandwich and my husband had a Cuban style burger. We ate everything on our plate. Yum! It was late night done right. The reviews had me uncertain but I would definitely eat here again.

These are the best frituras of bacalao I have ever tried and the sauce compliments it so well! We paired this appetizer with the mojito flight and they were absolutely delicious. You get 4 options, passion fruit, lychee, guava & coconut. Afterwards we ordered the vaca frita with moros & tostones. You can order them extra crispy which I recommend. My fiancé ordered the Chicken cordon Bleu which is apparently a staple here and it did not disappoint at all! Overall we had a great experience and the food was fantastic, you can't go wrong with Cuban food in south florida. The remodel of the restaurant was fantastic and you can't tell they put in a lot of effort making this establishment look really nice with a great ambiance. The items we ordered were a little bit more pricey than usual but we assumed that when we got iPads for menus! Gotta pay off the remodel somehow! This place was 10/10 with excellent service & will return to try other items!

I was hoping to track down some chicken vegetable soup and my Airbnb host recommended this restaurant. Apparently, my daughter, who has been staying in Florida for the past two months, has eaten here at Casavana. We started with the Yucca fritas, they reminded me of and tasted similar to mozzarella sticks. I really liked the texture of these, they had a nice crunch and the dipping sauce was flavorful. For our main dishes, I had the chicken noodle soup while my daughter ordered the Churrasco platter. Both were delicious, the soup was hearty and flavorful with nice big chunks of chicken and noodles. The Churrasco was a strip of tender, juicy red meat with black beans, rice, plantains and a side of chimichurri sauce. If I'm ever back in the area, I would absolutely stop in and enjoy another meal.

We called the restaurant and told them and they said bring it back and they would give us another or a credit. We went and brought it back to show them and they would not give us a refund and only wanted to give us another one. I told her I don't feel good from the few bites I had of the first one why would I want another one. They refused to credit me back and insisted I just take another steak. I would stay away from this place. I am also contacting the health department because they are selling people rotten food.

The fries were the best, nice thick crispy and crunchy, the plantains were OK, the rice and beans were pretty standard. The ambiance was nothing special at all. I ordered to go so I didn't receive any service, but just an FYI because they will not disclose this information with you when you order takeout they charge you an extra $.35 per item. That is WILD! I saved my bill so you can see it. I'm wondering if they do the same on door dash. I will continue my quest to find the best vaca frita in south Florida.
