We were visiting from Out of town and this restaurant stood out the decor is so unique and beautiful. The waitresses were super sweet and attentive. Especially if you have kids the decor and statutes and wall art keep their restless eyes busy . Also they have some kitties that roam around the place as well Super cute and there is a sink with soap next to the tables so you can't wash your hands before you eat . I totally missed the other side I was sad. I ordered the breaded chicken Plate with the fried sweet potatoes. Omg if your a chicken lover and love yams then get this side so freakin bomb . My kids got a sandwich it was super good as well . This is a must stop tour site to drop by In and try the food read more

This Cuban restaurant is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, you're surrounded by eccentric, vibrant décor, colorful murals and quirky little details that make you feel like you stepped into a nostalgic Cuban dream. Every corner has personality. The food? Even better. The ropa vieja was rich and perfectly seasoned, the lechón was tender and packed with flavor, and the arroz con frijoles tasted like it came straight from abuela's kitchen. The cafecito at the end sealed the deal--strong, sweet, and unforgettable. Great vibes, amazing comfort food, and a one-of-a-kind atmosphere. This spot isn't just a meal--it's an experience. read more

I was running a business meeting and decided to order takeout for my team from this nearby restaurant which I am employee told me is a local favorite. When we picked up from the restaurant, we noticed a lot of cool decorations and would love to just stop and eat here to enjoy all the Cuban nostalgia. The masa's de puerco were great but the star of the show was the Moro and yuca. Food was great and not over priced like the rest of miami read more

Great spot full of Cuban nostalgia! They have live music in the back courtyard during certain times so a great place to hangout with friends. The food took a little longer than usual but it's because everything is made FRESH so, worth the wait. read more

The place is very eclectic with exaggerated cubanaso things on display! If you are Cuban ,whether from the island or brought up by Cuban parents ,many things will make you chuckle! If you are not Cuban ,you may get a negative impression about us Cubans because some things are a little over the top "chusma" or can be perceived in a negative way. I noticed some vulgarities that were in old pictures have been changed.. there are political pictures and obvious snubs against Religion I could have done without ,but I took it for what it was and had a fun time with my mom, and got a picture of her sticking her tongue out at Fidel Castro on an electric chair! The food was pretty good and a the servers were friendly ! read more

Can't beat the atmosphere and decor of this place but then to top it off we've never had a bad meal here! If you're looking for your classic Cuban dish that tastes homemade, you found your spot! We went on a holiday so it was busy and still received very attentive service. Highly recommend it, a great family spot! read more

Welp. I wanted this to be a great experience, unfortunately it was not. We have been there for Mother's Day for the last 5 years. My boys treated me for a late Mother's Day lunch. We waited an hour, after being told it would be 30 minutes, for a table which ultimately was an outdoor table. It was 92 degrees. While waiting, a gentleman kept telling me that he was going to bring us some fresh croquetas. When we got to our table, we waited another half hour for water. And another half hour to order. During the later half hour, we finally got some croquetas only for the gentleman to drop 2 of them on the floor and not pick them up. Another half hour goes by and my boys are doing their best to maintain composure. I went to the cashier area and asked for our order to be packed up to go, I was done. Waited another 15 minutes and we left. I get that it was Mother's Day and they were busy, but not that busy. Their food is good and the ambiance is entertaining. Maybe next time..... read more

An absolute must!!!!! It's my first time and I fell in love!! The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the chicharron appetizer, the flavor was good but it would have been better had the pieces been smaller. The masa de puerco were perfect, the churrasco was perfectly medium rare, the fried boniato, fresh cut fries, not frozen maduros....AMAZING!! You MUST order the flan!!! Don't, and you will regret it!!! read more

0/10 do not recommend. Table was setup for 2 and we were 4z never brought out untensils/ appetizer plate for the other 2. Table bread was burnt and hard. Food: Fritura de malanga was exceptionally delicious. Probably the best ive ever had. Then, it was all downhill from there. Aguacate- green and not ripe, hard and watery. Tamal- bland Lechon con moro y maduros- bland, my lechon was very dry, the beans in my moro were hard, it was just really bad. My kids plate had ant crawling all over it. From when they set it down on the table Ambiance: LOUD They had hired a "magician" who decided to set up his act 2 feet away from our table with the speakers 2 feet away from our heads. That was enough for me to get up and leave. Will not go there again. Oh and heavily overpriced for bland flavorless food read more

Had passed by this restaurant a few times and finally decided to try. This restaurant is a cuban fusion and what attracts the eye the most are all the items they have in display outside. I thought the restaurant was fully outdoors but they actually have an indoor area with ac and it was perfect with it being such a hot day. Started off with an appetizer that had a mix of different bites and of course had to get a jupiña. As the entree we had the vaca frita with rice which was very flavorful. Had the pan con bistec which the bread was extremely soft and the steak was perfectly cooked. Also had the skirt steak with arroz morro, ordered the steak medium well and it seemed to be undercooked. Had to send it back and still it wasn't done too well. Finished off with a cheese flan which was okay and a small colada that definitely needed some sugar. The waitress was very helpful and kindly assisted us with our concerns. read more

I came with my parents and wife for dinner. Immediately we laughed at the decorations when walking in, we were greeted and sat down pretty quickly. The service was great, waited was able to recommend some popular dishes to try, they were all fantastic. Only thing I didn't like was the restroom with no ventilation. If it wasn't for the bathroom I'll give it 5 stars. read more

This is a cool spot to go to if you're a tourist and not from here. Although the food is just okay it definitely has a very miami vibe to it. The food was just okay. I wouldn't recommend the ribs or the pan con bistec. The mariquitas had a different kind of garlic sauce that was amazing. Also the chicharron was perfect. Not too greasy and not too dry. But the batido de banana (banana shake) was delicious. Unfortunately there were a lot of flies fighting me for my food. The vibe is probably the only reason I'd come back. Very kid friendly momentos to keep em busy while you wait for your food. I went at 1:30pm on a Saturday it was 79 degrees out. I was worried about the outdoor seating but with the fans the temperature was tolerable. I took a yeti cup with my own drink to keep me cool and the staff was fine with it. They also had live music to add to the Miami vibe. Ultimately, I may come back and try something different. Like I said before the food was just okay but I liked the vibe. Worth trying at least once. read more

Jama Benn Jama - Palomilla, mashed malanga & house salad - Cuban Near Me - Hialeah Gardens, Florida

What a hidden treasure! The place doesn't look like much from the street, but after barely walking onto the property, we had so much fun looking at all the upcycled art, paintings, murals, and kids' play equipment. So whimsical and joyful. The menu had so many yummy sounding choices but I finally selected a pulled pork sandwich. It came with thinly sliced, homemade plantain chips. I also ordered a mango shake. On the first bite, I had a taste explosion. Everything was so delicious! And our server Lorena took great care of us, ensuring we had everything we needed. Lastly, this place even had live entertainment with Latino musicians, completing the ambiance of a 5 star experience all around. We went back the next day to try new menu options as we were in town for just a few days. Oh, and the prices were good too. Felt like we visited the best of Cuba without paying for airfare. Will be coming back on our next visit to Miami! read more

Benn Jamá is a restaurant with a blast enriched with Cuban culture and vibe. Everything from entrance to exit screams Cuba. The menu portion to price is excellent. They have all sorts of different shakes that are native to Cuban culture and also regular fruit shakes as well. There is no vegan menu here but they will accommodate you with a side salad and fries. We ordered the chicken sandwich and pollo a la plancha with arroz Moro y maduros. Chicken was well cooked and so was the sandwich which in between Cuban bread. read more

This restaurant is such a cute spot, resembling an art gallery celebrating all things Cuba. The journey begins right in the parking lot , it feels like you're entering a whole different place other then a restaurant . Seating is outdoor, the only thing we didn't enjoy was that they allowed a dog there while we were eating . On the plus side, the customer service is excellent, with attentive staff who regularly check on you. We got their mamey juice and guava, although the mamey's flavor didn't quite match our expectations, the guava didn't really have a guava taste. We also enjoyed their chicharron, rice and beans, and yuca. read more

Muy mala la comida. Pedí las masitas de puerco con papas fritas y tostones. Me trajeron una sopa de aceite viejo con masitas de puerco y las papas fritas estaban terribles. Mi esposa pidio un bistec de palomilla enpanado y el bistec vino fue quemado con un sabor horrible. No se pudo comer. Entre el plato de mi esposa y el mio, habia una cebolla entera, no entiendo para que tanta cebolla. Por suerte la mesera super amable y buena atención. read more

The most authentic Cuban experience at a restaurant I've ever had. The server had a difficult time translating and making suggestions... so I felt right away that this was going to be a real authentic meal. The atmosphere was legit like a Cuban cafe in Havana that I've seen in photos. The taro mashed potatoes were incredible. The shredded beef was delicious, something I've never had before. Definitely a place to go eat if you have the chance. read more

This is one of the most fun places I have ever eaten at. The artwork and decor start in the parking lot. Look around you will see something different every time. Seating is all outside but this is one of the few places I have eaten outside and not been uncomfortable. I found no one there who spoke English the 3 times I have been there but both servers had a great attitude about helping bridge the language barrier and brought just what we ordered. The menu is in Spanish but described in English as well. I had the cubed pork. When served it had a firm, not hard firm, once you bit into it the pork was tender juicy and delicious. This is the only meal I have eaten here but I am sure everything else is just as good. Be sure to check out the bathrooms. While the paintings border on pornographic, they are painted to appear like things people might do in a small town in Cuba. read more

Ribs were greasy and fat. Bathroom felt like it was 188 degrees. Smells off as well. I encourage them to trim the fat from the ribs . read more

Cuban food made deliciously. Pork is very tender and flavorful. Love how it's chopped and all dishes are just as delish. Customer service needs improvement but during these times, it's been the norm to fall short. Will certainly be ordering to-go more often. read more

It's Local business love Thursday and my newly found Cuban Aso bbq spot comes to mind. With plenty of outdoor seating, this super cute kitschy Cuban bbq is sure to win you over. So much to choose from including brunch and the premises is so adorable. Very picture spot worthy. My exact words. "I want to take pictures of everything" We ordered the bbq rib platter for two with two sides corn and mashed potatoes. The rib portion for two was ginormous. We needed to take it home with us which we warmed the next day and still good. I will knock A star down because I think the ribs were reheated the first time we ordered it and the ends seemed to be fried in some oil because they were crispy and oily. I guess since it was a random Tuesday afternoon (Veterans Day) they didn't have much movement so the ribs were already made. But all in all they were definitely good. I'd like to come back and try the other dishes. Come check them out!!! En Hialeah! read more

Great place with great food. I'm going to be honest, this is essentially a back country restaurant. I knew that before I went so I wasn't surprised/bothered with a couple chickens & a cat walking around. That said, the masitas de puerco and the lechón were good. Had some mango juice as well and it was very enjoyable, made with real mangos open ordering. Will be back to try a media noche sandwich! read more

Well, the ambiance is nice and thank goodness for that. Prior to going we called to ask how long the wait was, and they advised 15-20mins. Must have been Cuban time minutes as we waited for over an hour and a half. Once we were finally seated , we were given the precursor that the kitchen is backed up, so she will begin by taking our drinks and appetizer order. That's fine because that's how it should be anyway. And the dominoes began to fall...first thing they did not have was coconut water, then they did not have mangoes for the mango shake. Ok, it happens. We proceeded to put in alternatives and our appetizer order. We ordered "El Cubiche" which was supposed to be chorizo, yuca frita, and chicharones. As we waited and waited, a table of 7 was seated and one of 2 and their orders were promptly put in prior to ours. We received our appetizer, and chicharones were nowhere to be seen. Instead, in their place, there were fried pork chunks. We ate them...at this point we were famished. Once the waitress returned to pick up the plate, I curiously asked if they called their chicharones fried pork chunks. She apologized and proceeded to say they replaced the chicharones with the pork chunks because you guessed it! They had run out. She apologized and stated she thought the waitress had notified us. Did I mention we've had like 3 different ones. We placed our main order and waited some more. They finally arrived. The pork steak was drier than your grandma's slipper-dry tasteless and saturated with lime. The 2 sides;the malanga puree was an inch from being school paste..the ones you make at home for your kids for crafts and the boniato fries were sparse. The other plate steak milanese was a'ight. The tomato sauce overpowered it. Finally, desert. Prior to ordering I asked what they had left to avoid further disappointment. We ordered the guava flan. Cannot tell you if t is good or not yet because we are still waiting for it to arrive. Yeap, I am writing the review as we sit to occupy the time. I must say this, the waitresses were attentive and very well trained to come in with a bag full of apologies. They were pleasant and attentive throughout this 4hour tour. read more

We've past by this place quite sometimes, but never thought of it as a place we should try. We came in since the reviews were pretty good... and it did not disappoint.

No se lo que pasó con este restaurante, era fabuloso pero o cambio de dueño o de cocinero, pues la comida está fatal, yo paraba a comprar doe veces por semana y ahora creo que no regreso más nunca. Los chicharrones sin sal, el brisket no saben cortarlo y lo que me sirvieron fue un bistec de brisket. El moro sabía a comino y con chorizo(quizás galgo nuevo) la picanha estaba tan sobre cocinada que parecía un zapato, el tamal en hoja super alto en sal y pintura amarilla que estaba color naranja. TERRIBLE definitivamente el cocinero no es el mismo que hizo este lugar famoso. read more

The food was pretty good and authentic, on par with most Cuban places in Miami. The ambiance was incredibly fun, it was great to look around and explore all the niche references and art. The biggest con is that they don't have a bar , so there's no alcoholic beverages but they have pretty good natural juices. read more
