This was the best cafe I found in Miami! Must get a Cortadito (Cuban Espresso) so good you'll be coming back for more. Service/ Atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming. read more

We have hosted our opening of school breakfast at Islas for the past three years. They provide a private room with exceptional service! Prices are great and plates are always fresh and delicious. I have come to know the employees and managers well, always greeting with a smile and making sure that our events are always special. read more

Our food was so bland we had to add olive oil, salt and pepper to the chicken and fish. The fish came with a side salad, only a few lettuce leaves. That's not a side salad. The kid's French fries were drenched in oil and soggy. It's too bad the food was bad because the service was good but the cooks need help in the kitchen. read more

Horrible place !!!!!!!!!!! order FUFU with my dinner and there was a piece of metal !!!! the croquet's were cold all the manager could say to me was you did you hurt yourself I just looked at her and said no Ma'am she said are you upset ? I just couldn't believe how ridiculous her question were this place use to be a good place i don't know what happen its gone really bad and disgusting !!!!!! read more

Seems to be a good place but the personal in the bakery don't know how to deal with customers.

Service was completely mediocre. Had to chase down our waitress for water. Staff was not welcoming at all and people were complaining at the fact that there was no one taking their orders after having been sitting for almost half hour. Would not return. read more

outstanding service! speechless with the food, drinks, & service. jennifer is the most amazing service my entire family has ever had anywhere. thank you guys for the most amazong dinner night! read more

This is one of my favorite places to go eat ! Me and my family have breakfast every day here ! They are known for their delicious croquettas . One of the best things on the menu . The prices are a little expensive but it is worth every dollar read more

Had breakfast this morning with my daughter. They always have a line. We didn't have to wait much, about 10 mins. My daughter loves the croquetas at islas. I aways go with the croqueta preparda. Always hits the spot. read more

These guys are fantastic!! From their food to their staff. I come here to eat all the time with my family and the service is consistently excellent. I had left my wallet on one of my visits and they went out of their way to reach out to me and made sure I received it. The quality of people is the same as the quality of there food, outstanding! Definitely worth the visit if you're in the area. read more

I started coming here about 2 years ago because we live so close. Everything I've eaten here is delicious. We have had breakfast, lunch, dinner.. frijoles Colorado, sandwiches, chicharo, enchilada de camarones, and many more things, but what prompt me to write a review is the wrap I had last night. It's called the Cubanito wrap, it is stuffed with rice, delicious black beans, platanitos maduros and any protein you want. The wrap itself is first put on the grill so its kind of crunchy.. It is the best wrap I have ever had, not only the crunch effect but the seasoning.. Also, the flan is amazing.. I usually only review when it's really good or really bad... Oh I almost forgot, wish I had taken a pic, the arroz imperial, OMG, its a dome covered in cheese and the chicken is all white meat.. I love this place, it's very clean and they season their food. Trust me I'm very picky, if I walk in the restaurant and don't see it clean to my standards, I walk out. This place is amazing!!!! don't forget your cafecito!w read more

Their shrimp bisque, cream of malanga, and French onion soup are awesome ! We ordered all three today and they were great !

A lot of people know about the regular Islas Canarias restaurant, but not many people know about their smaller restaurant and bakery. If you drive by it you may just think it's a bakery and not even realize you could have a full sit down dinner. The service is very attentive and the portions are HUGE. The food is great and it's never full so it's always a nice place to pop in and have a solid dinner without waiting. They have a stripped down version of the menu from the larger restaurant, but still plenty of options to choose from. I've had the "Pollo Empanizado" and it's very good. They also have a "chicken in garlic sauce" (sorry I don't remember the exact name) and that's my favorite menu item. read more

This used to be my favorite place to buy croquetas I live out of state so my in laws bring them for me this time I received chicken onces instead of ham and when I called to tell them they were super rude and nasty specially the manager Abel he is a rude person period. I will never to back there or recommend this place! read more

Excellent dinning experience! Service was great & efficient. Food was DELICIOUS & Spotless!

Sorry I had to use this way to get in contact with you guys because none of your waitress allow me to talk to you today at lunch time This afternoon like around 12:30 pm I got to you place at the same time with one of your habitual customer. The "lady" that came to help us assigned one table to her " regular customer" and told me to wait for a table to be cleaned ( so good , so far) Few seconds later, her "regular customer" decided to change his table for the one I was waiting for because he was to close to the door. The " lady" just told me " Bueno coje tu esa mesa que a el le gusta aquella". El es mi cliente regular y solo le gusta que lo atienda yo en una Buena mesa. I just said: I do not consider this is the way you should talk to a client . She just told me: Quien llego primero? El verdad? Bueno sientate donde te de la GANA. I waited for the next waitress available and requested to speak with the manager in charge. Four of them came to my table with no answer. The last " lady" told me: El manager esta en la OFICINA con personas muy importantes y no te puede atender, llama despues de las 4:00 pm y pregunta por Santiago Garcia. This is the second time something like this happen to me AT YOUR PLACE Most of the time a waitress see a woman having lunch or dinner by her self, she really think that no TIP will come from her table. And the services she provides it is really ordinary. Please!!!!!!!!!!!! Do something about this. I'm Cuban and I really love our food. But Customer services at most Cuban's restaurants have become unremarkable. read more

Best Cuban breakfast spot in this area. Cheap and delicious. Better than the sister restaurant. They even carry Cuban toast in wheat.

The black paella gives Spain a run for their money...great food, awesome desserts, nicely priced..good service, although very crowded...will be back to try other dishes on the menu.. read more

Amazing food! Everything I tried was delicious. Fish ceviche, cafe con leche, fried yucca, croquetes, everything!

Unfortunately, today was a horrible experience, unlike the past few years we have been frequenting this, what used to be, a very pleasant and one of our favorite restaurants to make the long trip from The Keys. Very rude and unattentive staff, especially the waitress Maria de los Angeles. Nasty attitude, rolled eyes after I tell her SHE messed up on my Daughter's order twice!, which was a simple croqueta preparada, then comes to tell us her shift is over and tells my daughter about the surprise bday celebration I had secretly told her about, and switches us to another waiter. Never asked us what we wanted to drink, and then gives my daughter a difficult time about getting bread read more

My review is only based on drive through experience which i have done at least 5 times already. Coladas are not my favorite and today i ordered a cortadito and it was insanely sweet and not enough coffee (leche con azucar fue que me dieron). Every time i order a tostada they give me half of it (the cut it vertically). Croquetas i also expected to be a lot better as posted on their social media. I have had so much better from places all around Miami. read more

If you want to go to a place where no one speaks any English and get your order regularly wrong over the phone, then this is the place for you. If you plan to order over the phone, translate everything into Spanish before you call. They have "English speakers" who are there merely to get half the order right. By that I mean if you order chicken, you'll get chicken but it could be fried or grilled. Chefs choice! If you like surprises, I highly recommend this place :) And may the odds be ever in your favor. read more

Best croquetas ever!!!!!! Wow these croquettes a re amazing there food is felicitous taste homemade great prices great service

I love coming here for breakfast. Cheap, good food. What more do you want! I gave the review 4 stars because they need to work on their service. read more

A family friendly experience worth coming back again and again! First let's get the bad out of the way shall we? If you come here for breakfast during the weekend expect to fight for a parking space and to wait for like 30 minutes or a little more.However, once the wait is over then you are greeted by the friendliest of the Hispanic staff in the area. Not only do they make you feel at home with quick tongue jokes but their service is spectacular. And yes they do have the best" Cuban ham croquettes ". Will definitely recommend to anyone visiting town for a true Cuban cuisine experience ! read more

Absolutely LOVE their croquetas!!! Wish they'd be a little crunchier on the outside but the flavor is to die for. Squeeze lime over them and gobble them up! read more

For what it's worth, I'm a 52 year old, Cuban-American. I was born and have lived in Miami my entire life. I've had breakfast everywhere. This is the best Cuban breakfast I've ever had. I sat at a tight counter. My food took a while compared to the people around me and I had to send back my Cuban toast because it was not buttered. I wasn't being a pain and I could've added butter myself but that's just not how it's done. It's like getting a pizza without cheese and then having the server bring you a side of cheese. I had two eggs, bacon, two ham croquetas (homemade and best in Miami) and crispy shoestring fries. It was served with the toast and café con leche. I asked for American coffee instead and was charged extra which I thought wasn't proper but whatever. The food itself was perfect. There are so many menu items you just don't see in other Cuban places like egg and garbanzo dishes. It's a hike for me but I'll be back. read more

The first time in years that this place has disappointed me. Milanesa de Res over cooked, Rueda de Serrucho over cooked. Moros were cold. Lots of cruising employees in jodedera mode, service was BAD. It is obvious that management is paying more attention to Islas Canarias and Finka and they're letting this one tank. read more

I casually visit this restaurant for dinner time. The food is very good and at reasonable prices too. The service is really good here. I remember my little sister ordered a banana with her lasagna and the waiter went to the supermarket across the street to get it. They really know how to earn a good tip! read more

If you are looking for excellent cuban food at a very good price. We go very often for breakfast and their croquetas are the best and their fresh bread. Their bakery is a great hit special if you ordered ahead. They will have everything ready for you. read more

Terrible customer service. Not the same as the original on Coral Way. Croquetas are still frozen the middle, the lady at the counter wouldn't even reheat it. The French fries are totally different. Do yourself a favor and drive a little further, food will be better... Don't know about the customer service. read more

Use to be a regular , but after my third frozen cheese and ham empanada I called it quits . I also had raw tequenos and spoiled lobster bisque soup . I really use to love this place and I can understand if they have one bad day but after multiple disappointments I'm pretty much done . read more

When I usually love to come here and get some croquetas, today honestly sucked. I walked in to see about ten employees this Friday 10/7/16 at 6:45pm to see a lot of employees sitting behind the counter having their own private conversations instead of asking if I needed help. Check the cameras I'm wearing a shirt that says "Mas Café" after you check the camera check the time it took for someone to finally serve me. Customer service is pretty bad. Too many employees for such a small restaurant. Could be run with half the staff. Quality not quantity! It's a shame that this place is so delicious and notorious for it's good food, but has shitty customer service. read more

Best croquettes around and a huge breakfast for a great price, have not tried lunch or dinner but it looks delicious!

I love this restaurant/ cafe I am a regular and go almost every weekend. I go for breakfast on the weekends and also have a good Cuban lunch or dinner during the week when I don't want to cook. I am Cuban and this is the best spot to have a really good authentic Cuban meal whether it's breakfast, lunch, dinner, desert, pastelitos, croquettes which by the way their croquettes are the best in town!! Cuban coffee etc. the service is good. The waiters and waitresses are nice and really do the best they can to serve you as fast as possible. Needless to say they are a great place to come and enjoy good Cuban food. read more

I love this place. Have been coming here since it opened. The new renovations are beautiful and the extra space was much needed. Nothing can beat their prices for breakfast. Everything came out fast, fresh, and warm. Love. Love. Love. read more

Get your pocket ready if you are eating at this place. Cafe style-bakery, menu prices are absolutely outrageous. Chinese fried rice for $19.00. Give me a break! Breaded filet of chicken covered with cheese and tomato sauce, black beans and rice...$15.00. Portions small. What an insult. Yes, if you wonder about croquettes these are good and so are the sandwiches but not at these prices at a low key shopping center. By the way menu prices on their website have not been updated. read more

I had to chose a star to post, otherwise I would not put a star at all. My husband and I went to get something light to eat after being at the hospital all day because his grand mother is gravely ill. Since we placed the order, the waiter was rude. He practically threw the sugar on the table for the coffee, no napkins, my husband asked for a club sandwich without mayo and it came with mayo. When we asked for napkins he gave us two from the counter at the bakery! A nice waitress seeing the situation brought us the right type of napkins. When ever he spoke it was with an attitude. The manager was informed of the situation and all she said was,"Im sorry". read more

My husband and i do not go out much, but we have made it our date night to go Friday nights to the Bakery of Islas Canarias. We love it, the food, the service and the ambiance are excellent. I come to work every Monday giving details of the great selection the restaurant has in their menu and the way the food is presented is above all expectations, and many of my friends tell me, they cannot wait to experience it. read more

I order take out here at least 3 times a week. You got to try the croqueta preparada sandwich it is awesome. I just hate the fact that there is never parking and when ordering on the drive thru they ask you to park but there is nowhere to park. read more
