They have such cute drinks! I just got pineapple juice but my friends got their coconut drink and mojito and said it was to die for! They give you these plantain chips to snack on and they are so good! It's got a sweet, salty, and crunchy chip texture to it. For an appetizer, we got a sampler which had ropa vieja, plantains, empanadas, shredded pork, and some large fried potatoes. I loved that so you get to try a little bit of everything. The ropa vieja tasted just like grandmas. They use ropa vieja as the filling in the empanadas. The fried potato's was steak fry cut style. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Just how a perfect fry should taste! Everyone really liked the vaca frita! I think that's a must try! It's shredded beef marinated in this delicious citrus marinate. They fry it afterwards so it's pull apart, melt in your mount soft, with a nice crispy crunch to it. I think this is a must get dish. The desserts were delicious too! The flan was perfectly soft and creamy. The tres leches was delicious as well. This is a great place to have some good Cuban and enjoy a beautiful night out in Miami!

I had an awful experience here and will never be eating here again. It's extremely overpriced and…read moredefinitely a tourist trap. First of all the nachos we got were gross and the cheese tasted very low quality. The nachos were very poorly put together and the toppings tasted stale. There were no vegetarian options on the menu which was extremely surprising and disappointing. There were items in the kids menu though, so I wanted to order that and was not allowed to. I was even fine with being charged more than the usual kids price but I was refused that option as well. This was extremely infuriating and all I was able to eat were side dishes. The beans and rice and mashed potatoes also tasted stale and were expensive for no reason. The servers and managers were not accommodating to me whatsoever and didn't even try to offer me alternatives or take my suggestions. and I was humiliated and frustrated and overcharged and still left hungry by the end. Very very disappointed in this place

Came here to pick up something to eat at the beach. We walked in and ordered takeout. The staff was…read moregreat and it didn't take long to get our food. I ordered a cafe con leche, a Cuban sandwich and a Media Noche sandwich. Everything was delicious. Especially the media noche sandwich. I've had plenty of media noches in my life, but never as good as this one. Not sure what kind of bread they use for their media noche, but it was so soft, just the perfect amount of sweetness. The Cuban sandwich of course was good, but tasted similar to others I've had. I can definitely see myself returning next time we're in the area.

Puerto Sagua is an absolute Miami Beach classic! I've been here so many times that I've lost count,…read morebut I keep coming back for one thing: the oxtail stew! It is hands down my favorite. I've never had anything quite like it, except maybe in Caribbean Costa Rica, and there is something so special about the way they make it here. It is literally my first stop every time I visit Miami Beach. I genuinely crave it! And then there's the quatro leches cake. INSANELY good. You will absolutely finish it. I recently tried their iced Cuban coffee with sugar and milk, and it was such a delicious addition. The passion fruit juice is also fantastic. I finally tried the grilled lobster plate, and WOW, it did not disappoint. Honestly, you might need to walk around the block a few times afterward because everything is just THAT good, and you're going to finish every last bite. Puerto Sagua has been serving Miami Beach since 1968, and it is still standing strong, serving incredible Cuban food with so much character and history. Great service and love the open restaurant ambiance diner feel. If you're visiting Miami Beach, DO NOT skip this place. Come hungry and get a taste of this iconic Cuban American restaurant. And whatever you do, GET THE OXTAIL STEW!

Worst experience in terms of both food and service. As I sat down and looked at the menu, I…read moreimmediately suspected that this was going to be another tourist trap restaurant that just beg you to leave them a good review on Google. You could tell by looking at their unreasonably pricey drink menu. Who charges $7 for diet coke that they pour out of a can in front of you? Especially with CVS literally next door For food, I ordered a cuban sandwich and it took them 45 minutes and several attempts on my end to get the staff to even look my way for me to ask about the reason behind the delay. And I can tell you one thing, all them who praise the food here on Google reviews are either liars or they have never had decent food in their lives. Don't get me started on how nasty their only restroom was. Out of soap and gross everywhere.

The Caesar salad was about the same as a bagged salad, so not impressive. The croquettes were just ok...they had a sweet flavor that I can't put my finger on that I didn't like. Maybe the ham? At any rate, I didn't finish them. And actually as I type this, I'm still waiting for my check. When I called another server over, he ignored me. I finished eating 30 minutes ago. My server is nowhere in sight ‍ Update: there's my server and here's my check. I waited about 40 min total for it. Let's end this on a positive note: the girl who stands out front greeting people was a doll. Very friendly, playful personality.

The menus for pretty much every Cuban restaurant in South Beach are copy paste replicas so the menu had pretty standard options. I started with a passionfruit mojito. It was amazing, one of the best i have ever had. I also got a cubano, which was good, but nothing mind-blowing. My friend ordered the churrasco sandwich, but they gave her the plate instead. The server then brought her bread so she could make her own sandwich, which was a nice touch and the price was the same. She enjoyed it and it looked like it was cooked perfectly to her liking.

I had a good time eating here, I liked the vibes, our server was nice and friendly. But I had some…read moreissues and overall feel like it was not worth the price. Basically all seating is outside, so if you're looking to escape the heat, probably not the best fit. Nice vibes outside but just something to be aware of! One of the chair legs literally broke underneath one of our party when she was just trying to scoot it back. We got given a new chair from the empty table next to us and moved on with the night. I really don't like how, when you order a sandwich, they ask "do you want fries with that?" So that you assume it it'll be free (as is very normal with sandwiches) when it's actually asking if you want to add an additional $10 side. Food wasn't bad, but not great. I think the empanada was my favorite, I loved the cilantro sauce with it (I just love cilantro!). Another in our party had the lobster and thought it was pretty good. But, the meat on all the sliders felt pretty dry and not that flavorful. I wished they had more sauce with or on them, which I would rather the meat itself was good enough I didn't want to cover it in sauce to make it good. I was so excited for flan, which I love, but I felt the texture was softer and more like pudding in my mouth than the firm custard texture I want. Also overall really expensive but I guess it's an expensive area? There were 6 of us with over $500 total and that felt like a lot.
