    Small box of pasteles
    Marlene R.

    Not sure what's happening here but the prices have gone up tremendously. I paid $43 for 11 pasteles and a tray of party size croquetas. It's too much! Sorry - ICC you need to re-evaluate your prices. I won't be back until I forget about what you charged me today.

    Croquetas
    Indiana L.

    My niece was craving croquetas and of course we had to come to the best place that can offer that. We bought a party order of 25 croquetas and a croqueta preparada sandwich and they were both so delicious. The croquetas were warm and tasty and the croqueta preparada was filling. I loved how they added the papitas, which made it better. The service here is great. They gave me the order within minutes. They're also very welcoming. I'm would definitely continue to come here for croquetas and a quick bite to eat.

    Steak sandwich
    James B.

    Isles Canaria's "We arrived right at the tricky shift change from lunch to dinner service, so it took about 10 minutes (and us asking) before we finally got menus--totally understandable given the timing. Once things got rolling, the staff were friendly and attentive. The real star, though, was the Cuban steak sandwich: hands-down the best I've ever had. Perfectly hot, incredibly tender, and packed with flavor. Worth the visit all on its own!" (5/5 for the food, slight hiccup on arrival timing that wasn't really their fault.)

    Scramble eggs and ham

    This place is always perfection!!!! The food quality is never different. They keep up with their flavors. Service was very good and the ambiance is super nice and chilled.

    Overcooked, dry fish croquetas that are inedible
    Eliott C.

    I just left Islas Canarias Bakery after stopping by around 11:30 a.m. on a Saturday morning. I ordered 10 ham croquetas and 10 fish croquetas, fried fresh to order, and I tried one of each on the spot. The ham croqueta was absolutely perfect -- everything about it was spot-on: flavor, texture, and appearance. It's exactly how a croqueta should be. Truly outstanding. Unfortunately, the fish croqueta was a major disappointment. It was fried so long that the outside turned dark brown instead of golden. The appearance alone was unappetizing -- dry and overcooked. The moment I bit into it, I knew this was not the traditional fish croqueta Islas Canarias has been known for. If the recipe or preparation has changed, that's a real shame, because this version is not enjoyable at all. I couldn't even finish it. Now I'm left with nine fish croquetas that no one will likely want to eat. I really wanted to leave a positive review, but under these circumstances, I just can't. And not to mention -- as anyone who's been there knows -- on a Saturday around this time, there's absolutely no parking. You'll end up circling the lot, hoping someone pulls out so you can grab a spot. To make things worse, there are usually people standing right at the front entrance, waiting to be seated either inside the café or outside on the sidewalk. They completely block the doorway, so you have to politely ask several people to let you pass -- both coming in and going out. Between the parking chaos, the crowded entrance, and the disappointing fish croquetas, it's just not worth the hassle right now. I truly hope they revisit both the recipe and the customer experience because this place used to be one of my favorites.

    Ham & chicken croquettes.
    Marie M.

    This is my favorite place in Miami for croquetas and EVERYTHING went better than expected! We came in so hungry and left so satisfied--from the seating arrangement to the appetizers to the main course, not to mention they surprised the lady next to us with a very fervent and fun Happy Birthday song that the entire restaurant joined in to celebrate her as well! We started with both ham and chicken croquettes, followed by a bowl of chicken soup and caldo gallego (flavorful & creamy white bean and sausage soup). We then shared a plate of boniato relleno de tasajo (Cuban sweet potatoes stuffed with jerked beef) with white rice and fufu de plátano (tasty mashed green and ripe plantains). Our server was attentive and pleasant. She gave us room to talk but checked on us periodically. I took my dessert: tres leches to go and will definitely go back soon if I can!

    Islas Canaria is a go-to spot for our family dinners every now and then. We've been coming here for many, many years. We always know we will have a great meal here! This location is a little different from the other one on coral way - they have additional menu items that can't be found at the other location. There is certainly something for everyone! Service is always great and staff is consistently nice. If you're looking for a delicious Cuban meal, whether it's lunch of dinner, this is your spot! They also have the best croquettas in all zeeee land! Hands down. Period. You won't be disappointed.

The Dubai strawberry was very good with large juicy fruits drenched in smooth melted chocolate. The cup also included a pistachio paste and kadayif giving it a good crispy texture. My only complaint was that the pistachio flavors were not as strong. The chocolate bubble tea was solid you can still taste milk tea taste. But the star of the meal was their Ferro Rocher shake smooth and nutty with a little Nutella drizzle. If you want some unique desserts pick up an order from Sweet and Sticky.
