    La Cañita in Kendall is exactly the kind of spot this area has been needing .. fun, lively, and full of energy. The vibe was amazing..the live music kept the place buzzing all night. The food was good but the apps were better and the drinks were strong. The only real downside was that some of the food came out cold, and we had to send it back, which was disappointing. I think my group honestly enjoyed the appetizers more than the actual entrées. I'd say this is the kind of place you go for drinks, small bites, and some dancing .. a fun night out without having to drive all the way to Brickell or Wynwood.

    Uf! Where to begin! Came to celebrate father's day here and it did not disappoint. Excellent service, exceptional food and the mezcal drinks...oh my gosh. The live music and dancing was the cherry in top. Wish we had a place like this in San Diego. Truly, cross generational fun!

    Honestly, we came in on a Friday night and the menu looked great online. We accidentally walked into a very high vibe which was awesome! There was live music and the band was great!! It does look like staff doesn't really know what they're doing, but maybe it's because I am in the hospitality industry myself. After asking the host how long the wait would be and standing there waiting for a response for maybe 10 minutes, she just walks us over to a table. I mean, very nice! But just not what I was expecting. We got one of the best seats in the house if you're looking to watch the live show! Now was for service, I get that it's a busy Friday night but it happened on not one, not two, but THREE times where the food runners went to the wrong table when dropping off the food. Our server was okay, not much can you do with such loud music, so I understand, but she was taking absolutely forever to bring us anything and even tried handing me a takeout box while holding three plates in her hand, and then look at me crazy when I don't know what she's trying to give me At some point the music was getting crazy feedback and I literally had to cover my ears. Overall? Not sure if I'll be coming back but the food was pretty good.

    I checked out this new spot for happy hour with friends--such a fun vibe. The bartender was great, there was live music, and we even danced a little. It's from the same owners as Café La Trova, so you already know it's a good time. No food this time. But will definitely come back

    Great addition to the Town and Country Mall. La Cañita is owned by the famous chef Michelle Bernstein and has a similar vibe like her other place Cafe La Trova. It is vibrant and lively with loud Cuban live music and a full bar. Perfect if you're looking for a boozy brunch and fun dinner with dancing. I went once for dinner and once for brunch. I tried the lamb chops and snapper. The snapper on top of yuca and a coconut broth was my favorite. Their flan de la Flaca with maracuya sauce is delish too. They have a wide variety of drinks that are all presented in a fun way. Great place for birthdays.

    I came on a Saturday afternoon and we were seated right away. We tried the empanadas and they were missing some flavor. I ordered the Chilaquiles. Although the waiter told us they were not spicy, they were. The tortillas used are not made fresh, and that wasn't great. The churrasco was supposed to be be cooked medium well, and it was cooked more than that. Although the cocktails were decent, I don't think I would be back

    Took my parents here for dinner to celebrate their anniversary. I had been looking at other reviews and photos of this restaurant for weeks, and was so excited to try. I made reservations indicating we were celebrating an anniversary.  Flavia was GREAT! She helped answer menu questions, and made recommendations. There was an issue with my dish, and she was extremely apologetic and fixed the problem immediately. The ropa vieja was delicious and really flavorful. The maduros that came with it were perfection! We also had mojitos, tostones and the local snapper filet. The flan and bread pudding were also really good. What would have made this evening exceptional, was if there was some kind of acknowledgement on the dessert plates in celebration of my parents anniversary.   The music was lively but a bit loud. I can only imagine how loud it is when the live band starts playing. And the Christmas decor, which was very festive and sure to get you into the holiday spirit!

    Cute restaurant with live band and great service. Food and drinks were just ok. Sat at the bar and had the chicken empanadas and shrimp croquettes.

    My family and I came to La Cañita to celebrate my grandmas birthday. I LOVE how beautiful the place is, how amazing the music is, and how gorgeous it's decorated. The food was good, but definitely pricey. The drinks were also good. I had a sangria that was pretty delicious. We ordered some appetizers like croquetas and cuban bread. The croquetas were good and the cuban bread was good it had a side of burrata with marinated tomatoes. My plate was the churrasco. I will say for $45 the steak was pretty small, and it was a bit lukewarm temperature. Foodwise, overall it was good but not great for the price we paid for the dishes. The service was unfortunately not the best. Our server kept getting lost and I had to track her down wayyy too much to ask for extra bread and ask for drinks and we waited for some plates that when they arrived were a bit cold for us to have waited so long for. The place is beautiful and the music was great but the service was not good and the service charge IS included. I'd expect if the service is included that my service should be great and wouldn't have to fish for my server to come simply for water or for a refill. We also had to pay about $4 for a bit more bread for the burrata dip (it originally came with 5 small pieces of bread).

    I wish I got more photos of the decor of this place as there are so many details from the flooring to the ceiling. Every spot was taken into consideration there. The staff was extremely welcoming and usually for a place where the staff is great, the food sometimes lacks, but this restaurant was on point all around. Everything was extremely tasteful and please all 4 of us that had partaken. We will be surely back to try more in the near future.

    The ambiance here is incredible, the band and the music they play is so inviting and soothing. I would say this is a gem in Kendall. The place is chic, elevated, and all the staff/waiters wear suits. I would rate the food a 7/10. Either too salty or lacking depth and flavor. I ordered the lamb chops (not enough flavor) and my mom ordered the lechon asado ( yuka was too acidic and salty) The service is a hit or a miss. The hostess was not courteous and mind you it's the "first" impression we have of the business so she definitely needs more training on customer service. Every other staff was courteous but of course you don't forget the first interaction. They're also strict with the seating, you can't just sit anywhere and they won't accommodate your requests. We came just 2 of us with no reservation and it was mostly empty but they still did not want us to have certain seats. Then another couple came and while there were visiiiiibly so many seats available, I swear they made them wait 15 mins to be seated.

    I wanted to share my thoughts on La Canita Kendall, which I believe is a nice addition to the neighborhood of Kendall. Overall, the food has been good on most occasions, though there were a couple of instances where some dishes were bland. Considering the cost of certain items, I feel they should be excellent consistently. The service is usually really good; however, there have been times when we struggled to find our server for additional drinks or to have our plates cleared. That said, the service at the bar is consistently great, making it my preferred spot to ensure prompt attention. The venue itself has a great vibe, and the live Spanish music is enjoyable and well received. I do have some concerns about how long this location will stay open. Kendall needs this establishment to thrive, and I sincerely hope the community continues to support it so it becomes a neighborhood staple. While there are a few areas to improve, I believe La Canita Kendall is overall a great place. Thanks!

    Great spot for drinks, live music, and happy hour specials. Happy Hour is pretty packed and drinks depend on your bartender as always since the efficiency or expertise leads to inappropriately made drink to a good cocktail. Also, there was a lot of attention being given to the same people by the experiences bartenders to the same customers that were coming back for more drinks while people waiting at bar were being ignored. The live band was great! Our waiter was great as well! Food lacks that Cuban flavor. Entrees lacked flavor in my opinion of what a Cuban dish would taste like. The flan and the Tres leches were also dry and without flavor but the presentation was nice. I would recommend the place for drinks and music and if you want to sneak a dance in while there.

Honestly, my past experiences there have always been pretty good, as the place was clean, the staff friendly, and the food consistently solid. That's why when dinnertime came around today, I didn't think twice about ordering from them. I had some friends over to watch the USMNT Gold Cup Final soccer match and I was really craving Cuban food. I placed an order through Uber Eats expecting the same quality I've come to know. The food actually arrived pretty quickly, in about 35 minutes, which was great. But as soon as I opened the container with my Cuban sandwich, I knew something was off. It wasn't pressed properly as you could tell right away someone had rushed making it. But the real disappointment? There were no condiments at all. No mustard, no pickles, no mayo... nothing. It just seemed like someone lightly buttered the bread, barely warmed it up, and sent it out. When I opened the sandwich, it was even worse there was hardly any ham or pork inside. Honestly, it looked sad. I was so disappointed, I ended up tossing it in the trash. I mean, it's one thing to mess up a random order, but this was a Cuban sandwich from a Cuban restaurant. That's the signature item. How do you get that wrong? The rest of the food was okay, not great, but edible, so at least my guests had something to eat. Still, I'm the one who chose the place and really wanted to enjoy my meal, and they completely missed the mark. I'm giving El Rinconcito Cubano of Kendall a one-star review based on tonight's experience. To be fair, I've had good meals here in the past, so I'd be open to giving them another shot down the road. If they step it back up, I'll happily update this review. But tonight? They really dropped the ball.

Hands down, this was the best Cuban sandwich I've ever had. The bread was perfectly toasted on the outside while staying soft on the inside. The meat tasted fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned. It was a little greasy, but in the best way possible--it was absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the same sandwich and agreed that it's the best Cuban we've had so far. I also tried a non-alcoholic mango daiquiri, which was refreshing and full of flavor. The plantains were another standout and the best I've had in the city to date. This is definitely a place I'd return to for the Cuban sandwich alone. Everything I saw being served to other tables looked incredible as well.
