La Cañita offers a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, great live music and perfect for casual dining or enjoying drinks with friends and family. The overall food quality is decent -- nothing overly impressive, but satisfying enough for a mid-range spot. The appetizers and meat dishes are well-seasoned and nicely presented, while the cocktails and drinks stand out as the highlight of the experience the Negroni I ordered was spot on. Their mixology team clearly knows what they're doing unlike the kitchen. However, the Yellowtail plate was a noticeable disappointment for me compared to the rest of the menu maybe I should have ordered something else. It lacked freshness and flavor, maybe they went for some kind of fusion with ginger and maybe rosemary couldn't tell left me feeling somewhat over-seasoned. While not inedible, it didn't live up to the restaurant's otherwise solid offerings. Still, if you're visiting for good drinks and a laid-back evening with friends, and family and enjoy good live music this place is worth a stop -- just maybe skip the yellowtail don't forget order the Negroni. read more

This place is a fantastic addition to the Kendall scene. I visited La Cañita on Saturday night with my family to celebrate my Dad's 60th birthday. The server named Erick was super nice and attentive providing quick service even though it was packed and you could tell he was busy. We all ordered a variety of appetizers and dishes with the Ropa Vieja and the gnocchi being the stand out plates. They serve huge plates so be aware. We also ordered the pork belly, croquetas, empanadas and other main dishes which were all great. The venue had a live band playing which was a great boost to the ambiance but it was very loud, if you're trying to go and enjoy conversation, maybe it's not the place for you but we wanted the live music so it was perfect for a celebration! Overall I recommend this place and will definitely be back soon. read more

The food was good but the noise was extremely unpleasant. You could not carry on a conversation, even with the person next to you. The tables are way too close together and the music is way too loud. And they sat us (3 people) next to very long tables full of people and kids. I would not go back. read more

First of all, I made Reservations with a specific request of a corner Table or Booth, and the Hostess proceeds to try to sit us right in the middle, right in front of the loud Band--OMG! So, I requested another Table. We ordered appetizers--Pork Belly and a Shrimp Cocktail--both good. Then, we ordered our Entrees--Oxtail Lasagna and a Coconut Curry Snapper. The Oxtail Lasagna was flavorless with a watery, tasteless broth. My Curry Snapper tasted like Air--Nothing----No Flavor Whatsoever! So disappointed! Then, Desserts--Tres Leches and Churros. The Tres Leches was Dry--OMG.... what else? We did enjoy the Band--but that's it. I would love to know why everyone is posting a 5-Star Review on this Place. Don't Get it! We will not be returning! read more

Bueno de entrada cuando llegamos la joven que lo debe recibir a uno estaba en el teléfono y nos ignoró,hasta que otra vino de adentro del restaurante y nos entró,y ahí la cosa se puso peor la música grabada la tenian insoportablemente alta,por lo que las personas tenían que gritar para comunicarce lo que se convertía en una especie de bulla insoportable,por otra parte el menú súper reducido y muy caro para lo que ofertan que es comida cubana nada de ser un menú sofisticado,además de eso según la empleada que nos entró tienen código de vestimenta y no se puede entrar con gorra,sin embargo dentro había personas con lo que nosotros llamamos bolcheviques y sombreros acaso eso no viola el código de vestimenta?en fin no vuelvo ni recomiendo ese restaurante hasta que no cambie su administración. read more

This restaurants is amazing! Our server Arletys, was great and very friendly and attentive! The live music is definitely a must for this great ambience! Thank you! read more

Excelente lugar para disfrutar ya sea en familia, en pareja o si quieres venir solo, te puedo decir que tienen las croquetas más sabrosas que me he comido en Miami, te recomiendo un excelente old fashion y su churrasco si eres amante de las carnes, en definitiva no puedes dejar de ir a conocer y disfrutar del lugar. 100% recomendado. read more

There were dishes here that were outstanding, such as the flan and the mushroom croquetas. Keep in mind it's a limited menu for vegetarians, but you will have some plates to choose from or modify. I'm not a big fan of live music when I'm eating, keep this in mind if you like it on the quiet side. I didn't know that they had it when I went to try it out. My friend had the lechon asado and he wasn't thrilled with it, he went against the waitress' recommendation. The place is very nice with a Cuban speak easy vibe and a very elegant bar area. The bathrooms were clean and upscale. I'm glad I went, had been wanting to go for over a year and so glad they opened up in Kendall. Service was were it should be with a touch of spotty. Drink menu looked really good. Worth your time. read more

Went for my birthday on Valentine's Day, nice ambiance and waitress was nice. Drinks were super watery, basically just ice, a paid $15 for la CAÑITA and only took me two sips to finish the drink, told the bartender and got defensive, told the manager and did nothing, I ordered a beer because my drink was gone in two seconds. Food was good quality, nothing out of this word and small portions, sides are extra for more of the plates. We had a good time but not coming back, also expensive, many more places in this town with better food and less expensive. Please, do not order a drink here, es un robo. read more

Service was super slow, food is unreliable quality. Seafood soup took the kitchen forever and arrived full of sand. It was absolutely inedible, so we had to send it back. Croquetas were fine. Overall, I'd not recommend this place at all, despite it looking seemingly promising based on other reviews. read more

Great Cuban food with live music. I couldn't decide if the music or the food was better. Excellent service as well. I had the oxtail lasagna which was delicious. read more

We had a fantastic experience here from start to finish. The rice and beans with ropa vieja were full of flavor. We also tried the fish dip and the fig croquetas, both were excellent and a great way to start the meal. On top of the food, the service was attentive and friendly, which made the experience even better. The festive holiday décor added a warm, cheerful touch and really set the mood. We'll definitely be back! read more

Had the most amazing experience at La Cañita Kendall! We hosted a private event for my daughters after baptism celebration. It was a group of 20 people and everyone commented how amazing everything was! The food was delicious, we got the arroz con pollo, ropa vieja, jam croquetas, chicken empanadas, and churros!! Everything was so so delicious! The drinks were amazing (espresso martini shots so cute!), the cafecito with the dessert. Most of all was the service. Henry, Erick, Marieta, and Yosvan were incredible. Made the entire day so fun, happy, and enjoyable. The location is beautiful. Will definitely be back either for special event or just a dinner or happy hour! If I could give them 10 stars I would! read more

The place is amazing. I have been there several times. Music is great and the food is a good fusion between Cuban and Caribbean Miami. Entertainment is worth the visit. Live music everyday with super talented musicians. The only thing I do not like is that they made a new rule now if you have a reservation of more than 12 you are forced to have a minimum consumption of $65 per person. That instantly changed my mind on celebrating my mom's birthday there. Unfortunately I don't find it fair that you force every individual to consume $65 when some people just want appetizer and some might not drink alcohol due to their age ex kids, older people. read more

Brand new reataurant in Kendall and I'm here for it. I really enjoyed the live music and the amazing decor all around the restaurant. They have a full bar but they also have very well crafted and classic cocktails. I had the mojito and it was perfectly concocted. This place has not been open for more than a month so I think the service was 4/5. The waiter and service was OK. We waited a long time for a round of drinks and when we asked the waiter he mentioned he forgot to put in the order. We ordered some Conch fritters and i thought it was cooked perfectly. The chicken soup was delicious and really had a homemade taste to it that reminds me of how my grandma would make it. I also ordered the ropa vieja which had great portions but in all honesty it was very bland and lacked the true flavor of a ropa vieja. Overall it was fun watching the performances and being able to have some drinks and food with a great view. read more

Great ambiance and awesome happy hour menu. Their happy hour is from 4pm to 8 pm. Live music. The band is great they play Latin music that makes you get up and dance. Their singer is pretty good and very entertaining. The decorations bring you back to a 1930s vibe kind of a speak easy feel. This is a hidden gem in the Kendall area. We sat at the bar and the two bartenders were excellent. Always made sure we had drinks and food. The old fashioned was very good and it was part of the happy hour specials. Plenty of appetizers from the happy hour menu but our favorite was the lechón sandwich and the empanadas. Definitely worth a try. read more

This is and amazing place with great music. Exceptional service especially from Flavia. Would highly recommend to all.

I was really looking forward to trying this place, especially during Miami Spice. I planned my evening around it. I walked in at 8:15 PM, excited to finally try the menu, only to be told by the bartender that the kitchen was already closed. The website states the kitchen closes at 9 PM, so I was confused and asked if there was any flexibility. The answer? "Nope, you can sit at the bar and drink." It was incredibly disappointing to be turned away when I still had plenty of time before the posted closing. If the kitchen closes early, update your website so customers don't waste their time. Miami Spice is supposed to attract new guests -- instead, this left me with a bad first impression. read more

The food was wonderful and the service was amazing. were. We were a party of 6 celebrating Spring Break last Friday night. The restaurant was packed and at first we sat at the bar where we were greeted by the bartender Jose Miguel who was not only friendly and welcoming, but also knowledgeable and very sharp! He made several drinks for us and each was on point and made to perfection. From there we moved to a table and again our server Eric was great and made us feel right at home. He explained various items on the menu and made a few very delicious recommendations. We definitely will be coming back not just for then very tasty food, but hoping that Jose Miguel and Eric are working that day! read more

I came here for the first time at the Kendall location and oh my god it did not disappoint. Once you walked you definitely didn't feel like you were in Kendall anymore. The vibe was amazing and the live band was great. I came to have dinner with a friend and we shared the croquetas de Jamón and shared their NY strip which was cooked to perfection and very flavorful. We had the churros for dessert which were so good. Erick was our waiter and he was very attentive to us. He checked in on us frequently even though you could tell he was very busy. Food and drinks came pretty quick. I will definitely be going again. read more

Made reservations at La Cañita Kendall for a birthday with a large party. When we arrived our table was not ready, but shortly after the restaurant was able to accommodate our entire party together. As soon as you walk in live music is playing on the main stage. This restaurant has very nice decor giving it an old world glam vibe. Once we sat down our waiter took our drinks order and we were able to order some appetizers such as the Ham Coquetas the Pork Belly. Everything was delicious! Once we finished our appetizers we went ahead and ordered our main dishes. I ordered that the Trifongo, although it was not what I was expecting, it was very tasty, I do wish the portion was a bit larger given the price. The food here is a twist on Cuban food. That said, one might consider the dishes to be high priced for a regular Cuban restaurant. The live music was great, they would even sing you happy birthday whenever somebody was celebrating. Some folks were even dancing wherever they could find a spot. This is very cute spot in the heart of Kendall. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Roció was our server and she was delightful. She was always closeby with her assistance which was a plus. Food was fantastic and so were all of the cocktails! I can't wait to come back! I love the vibe and the ambience of the space. It's a beautiful atmosphere that makes you feel like you're on the beach or have travelled somewhere new! read more

From the moment we arrived for brunch we were made to feel like one of the family. Our waiter, Erick, was 100% on point with his recommendations. The food was phenomenal and filling; the live music was a pleasant bonus we weren't expecting. Our mimosas and lychee martini were delicious. The entire experience was great! Definitely worth trying if you're in Kendall. We will definitely be returning. read more

Good food, great service, fun ambiance. Spicy margaritas were great! Appetizers were yummy. Will definitely be back for a full meal!

The reason I am rating this place as a 3 star is bc of the Ropa Vieja and Lechón dishes. Let's start with the Ropa vieja what they served last night was chunks of beef in some sauce that tasted slightly like the real RV. Now for the lechón served over yuca, who decided to put broth over this should be fired! Also way to much lime on the pork. The pork was juicy and tender. Very disappointing bc the first time I went I had the fried fish and it was amazing . PLS BE ADVISED THE ROPA VIEJA IS WITH STRING BEEF NOT CHUNks of beef. Outside of this we had a great time and will come back ! read more

This restaurant was fun! Nice atmosphere with live music. It was a bit loud though if you want to hold conversations. Service was GREAT. We were a party of 15 and the service never disappointed. The food was pretty good. We ordered the butcher's grill with sides. The steaks and sausages were delicious. Chicken wasn't bad. Drinks were also good. A little bit pricey. I'd say at least $40-50, if not more, per person if you plan on going here. read more

The food wasn't that great. Specially not very tasty or visually appealing was the Braised pork over boiled yuka. The server needs training. We were done with our food and our plates stayed forever in front of us..he even brought more drinks that we ordered and still didn't pick up the plates. I just think they're lacking in serving skills, but nice person. The live music was great! Just very short time. read more

This place is outstanding. Great dining experience and energy. Great food, and Service. Brings a nostalgic Cuban Dinner Club vibe that delivers more than other similar experiences e.g. Havana 1957. read more

he restaurant is beautiful with great music. Service was excellent. Great appetizers (had the croquetas and pork belly). However, the menu is limited. There were 8 of us and only 3 liked their food. Perhaps they need to work the kinks out since it's still fairly new. Recommend there are more options on menu read more

Mushrooms croquetas very good. I ordered the lechon and I personally don't like it, too much sauce and not roasted pork at all..mojo sauce too strong. Dessert was good and music and ambiance very nice. read more

My server was outstanding. He was attentive, asked about allergies, and made thoughtful recommendations that elevated my experience. I started with the Pork Belly. The dish was phenomenal--so fresh and vibrant! For the mains, I ordered the Local Fish of the Day, a beautifully cooked Yellowtail snapper served on top of fried yuca. The dish was flavorful, balanced, and unforgettable. I wrapped up the meal with flan topped with fresh papayas, and it was the perfect sweet note to end on. It was warm, indulgent, and absolutely delicious! Overall, it was a fantastic experience with excellent food, outstanding service, and a great vibe. I highly recommend this restaurant at Town and Country Mall in Kendall! read more

Service was nonexistent, ordered arroz con pollo and there was literally no rice. Very disappointed

Not the experience I was hoping for. The food didn't meet expectations, especially given the high prices. Couldn't finish a simple soup. Service could have been much better--our server didn't seem very attentive or helpful when ordering. The bathrooms were dirty, papers on the floor, which was surprising since the place was empty. On a positive note, the live band was fantastic and brought great energy to the space. I really appreciated their presence. With some improvements, this place could offer a much better dining experience. read more
