The cañita burger was amazing ! I think it might one of the best burgers I've ever had ! I also tried the ropa vieja with yuca which was so flavorful , the yuca was perfectly done. They also had live music and great cocktails, I will definitely come back :) read more

Sat outside, it was a beautiful day to sit on the patio. It was busy but the service was mostly good. The food was fantastic. Delicious and came out fast. Inside, the place is really nice, too with a stage for a band and shows. My only critique is that it was hard to get a servers attention to order more drinks because it was happy hour. Other than that, it was great, but they do provide a very generous, happy hour menu and for a good amount of time, including weekends. Would definitely recommend. read more

I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while, and I'm so glad we finally made it--everything about the experience was amazing! The atmosphere is beautiful, with live music that really adds to the ambiance. The staff was warm and attentive, and Eric took such great care of us throughout the night. For appetizers, I had the spinach empanada and my husband had the octopus--both were absolutely delicious. For dinner, I ordered the roast pork, and my husband had the seafood rice. Every dish was full of flavor and perfectly prepared. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, everything was just wonderful--great food, great music, and a fantastic vibe. We'll definitely be back. Thank you, Eric, for making our night so special! read more

Wow. I could end this review with that one word. This restaurant absolutely wowed me. The food alone would warrant five stars. The phenomenal service could bring it up to five stars even if the food were only half as good. The decor is conducive for anything from a family meal to romantic cocktails and date night. Bit then add in music...but not your usual restaurant live band. These guys are talented. They get folks out of their seats and dancing. Multitalented artists with a vaiety of traditional instruments. Just wow. We drop by for a late dinner after a movie so we really weren't that hungry. My wife ordered chicken empanadas and I ordered the Ropa Vieja As someone who frequents Cuban restaurants in the past, I have to say these were both among the best I have ever eaten. I would've left a clean plate if portion was not so huge. Absolutely delicious. We were not in the mood to drink this evening, but the drink menu is incredibly inviting and we will be back. We noticed they have a happy hour every day and we will be sure to drop by. I love love love this place. And recommended to anybody who wants a wonderful meal with an authentic Havana vibe. read more

Happy hour in La Cañita is a fun way to start your weekend. Walking into a warm and inviting decor, you're greeted by a courteous and friendly hostess . The bar area comes alive and that's because people like Josuan and Ray -are not only top rate bartenders, but treat you as if you're friends. The bar food is not what you'd expect from HH bites, we're talking Michelle Bernstein level... need I say more. Pan con Lechon ( just try... ) another favorite , though all were amazing was the Queso Frito. To describe will not do it justice. It has to be experienced. Shout out to the talented musicians who add to the fun ambience. La Cañita in Kendall has the trifecta for success. Great food, friendly service, and warm and inviting ambience. Wishing them continued success. read more

Came to check out this new place that recently opened in Kendall, a few minutes away from my house. It's located in the Palms town country mall and its an elevated twist on Cuban food. Came to try out for happy hour and I would have to say that it's definitely one of the highlights. The Mojitos were delicious refreshing, perfectly balance of flavors. The stars were the empanadas, spinach cheese was especially good, dangerously addictive. Couldn't resist ordering the beef one as well, wow the flavors. It had actual chunks of beef. We ordered the mushroom croquettes too oh Very tasty. Service initially was great, good recommendations, but there was a mistake with our entrée we had ordered the seafood rice (arroz mariscado) and he misunderstood the parrillada. Mind you the rice is $26 and the Parada is $82 but he realized his mistake as soon as they brought out the food and our faces couldn't hide the shock. We didn't want it to go to waste and it was delicious (oh the chimmichurri) luckily, they adjusted the price to what we would've paid for the rice. We didn't let this dampen our night. As for the music, we could hear how super lively and fun they played, but We had decided to sit outside to enjoy the happy hour; all in all really loved this restaurant and look forward to coming back. read more

Terribly expensive and not tasty . The atmosphere is ok no dance floor old Cuban music no bachata nor meringue it suppose to be an international restaurant due to few other nationalities but Cubans the older singer was calling a few countries accept for America where he lives at ? I invited a few American friends over two months back this year. Weren't satisfied at all read more

This place is happening, if you're looking for a taste of South Florida and you do not mind a loud venue then this place is for you. The service was great, the food was delicious. I also had my first ever black old-fashioned, which you should definitely try if you like chocolate, it is not over the top. It was just delicious. The place with live band was loud !!!!!!! read more

We were here just a few hours ago. The food was good and some of the dishes were very tasty. The service was slow and the food was slow to come as well and our reservation was for 2pm so the place was not full of people. The ambiance was nice but the 4 of us felt that the music was too loud as we were trying to talk to each other. I am not sure if we will go back because the shopping area is challenging. read more

When we arrived, we were told that there is a two hour max for service, it is stated on the website. The ambiance is rather nice, since there was live music. Once were all seated, our server, Ray, brought over water and gave us a few minutes to look at the menu. We ordered our drinks and they were brought over rather quickly, which is good! For our appetizers, we shared the croquetas, the conch fitters and the beef empanadas, all were really good. For my entree, I had the snapper filet and it was delicious. The rest of the entrees looked really good too. For dessert, we shared the churros and a tres leches, both were good. If you like live music, I recommend that you go early, so that you can really enjoy it. I'd recommend this place for dinner. read more

Nelson was our bartender and he is excellent! Great drinks and food. Ambience is very lively with music and live band. We will definitely be returning. We truly enjoyed our visit. read more

We had a great mid-week (Wednesday) experience at La Canita/Kendall. First time there and we enjoyed the Happy Hour drinks/food...WOW everyday from 4-8PM. For dinner we had Lechon Asado, Ropa Vieja (trust me, it's not your mother Ropa Vieja) and Lamb Chops, all were delicious, good portions and very tasty. Service was good, it has the server as Erick on our receipt, and the three piece Cuban band was AWESOME. For dessert we shared a Bread Pudding...DELICIOUS !! It averaged out to $ 63 a person (we did have 9 well drinks), plus tax and tip. I am sure we will visit this restaurant again, FUN PLACE ! read more

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 restaurant was honestly horrible. We went on Mother's Day and the experience started off bad immediately. The waitress stopped us because of a hat, saying there was a "dress code." Meanwhile, once inside, there were people wearing shorts and tops like they were headed to the pool. Mind you, we were actually dressed nicely for the type of place they claim to be. The cherry on top was the atmosphere. The place is beautifully decorated, but the music was blasting so loud you couldn't even have a conversation with the person sitting across from you. What's the point of going out to eat if you can't even talk? Blasting Lenier . Then I checked the reviews and saw multiple people complaining about the exact same issues, with the owner replying saying they'd "fix it," yet clearly nothing has changed. Now I understand why this place isn't really known. If I want good Cuban food, a good vibe, and an actual dress code that makes sense, I'd rather go to Marabú or even La Carreta lol. We ended up leaving. 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

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

My friends and I had a wonderful time today at La Canita. Amazing food, drinks, and music. The service we received from Flavia was spectacular. Will definitely be returning. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
