The menu has a wide variety of Cuban foods but I decided to go with my go-to: a Cuban sandwich. We ordered our food to go and it was prepared quickly. The sandwich itself was probably the best Cuban I've ever had. The pickles were a nice touch.

The menu was more pricey than expected which was a bit disappointing. A lot of items were around $20 and the portions weren't huge. You do get complimentary bread!

When we arrived I am not sure if the restaurant wasn't open or not, but the lady was all the way on the back and we didn't even know where to sit. She took a while to tell us to sit down.

Este fin de semana pasado asistí a Club Típico Dominicano, un lugar al que he asistido desde que…read moretemprana edad. Siempre le he tenido cariño a este sitio y por eso me duele aún más tener que escribir esta reseña. Lamentablemente, la experiencia fue muy desagradable debido al trato de una mesera de origen Venezolana con pelo rubio. Se negó a atender a una persona en mi mesa, argumentando que los de mi mesa solo van a bailar y no a consumir. La actitud de ella demuestra una falta total de ética y capacitación en servicio al cliente. Negar servicio basándose en suposiciones personales es inaceptable. Me sorprendió muchísimo ese comentario, ya que en ningún momento se me ha informado que sea obligatorio consumir para poder disfrutar del ambiente y la música aparte de que siempre consumismo pero quisas no lo que ella pretende que se consuma. Su actitud fue grosera, poco profesional y muy inapropiada y aparte con tanta seriedad y muy poco amigable para ese tipo de trabajo, Como cliente que ha apoyado este lugar por años, no considero correcto que se hagan comentarios personales ni que se niegue servicio basado en percepciones. Todos merecemos respeto y un trato digno. Espero que la administración tome en cuenta esta situación y revise este tipo de comportamientos, ya que afectan la reputación del establecimiento y la experiencia de quienes hemos sido clientes fieles por tanto tiempo.

First things first, the DJ was ON POINT didn't stay on one genre too long, just kept the energy flowing perfectly. It was a rainy Sunday so it wasn't as packed or hype as we expected, but honestly? Even if it was just us and the DJ, it still would've been a whole party. The inside has a dark, moody vibe with cute spots for pics, definitely a vibe. Parking was $11 in a small lot right outside, which wasn't bad. Now let's get into the important part... the FOOD & DRINKS whew!! I had a passion fruit mojito and a passion fruit margarita, both were SO good. Like... real good LOL! The wings were flavorful, and we also had fried tostones topped with shrimp in this sweet sauce that paired perfectly with the savory. SO GOOD. I also tried two different sushi rolls with steak, and babyyy... every bite had me like "hmmmmm" no exaggeration at all. They offer both a brunch menu and a regular menu, and everything is displayed on tablets which was super vibrant and easy to browse. I don't love driving all the way to Miami, but for these vibes, the music, and the food? I'd definitely make the trip again. Good food, good drinks, good music, good vibes. We had an amazing time!

Speaking of flowers who ever came up with the interior layout and the Latino/asian aesthetic deserves a raise. There were multiple tv some playing on of the sports channels or old Asians movies. There was no DJ when I went but the playlist was fire, from dembow to bachata I was jamming the whole time. I ordered a sushi roll which was a little less than what I was expecting so I was still hungry after my meal. That's on me though. It was good I can't complained. The fried flacks were the perfect touch to the roll. The table complaint was that the portions were less than fulfilling. So maybe order an appetizer. I'm not upset with my experience I would dine again.

From the start, the welcome was warm and genuine, with prompt, attentive service. The space itself is simple and cozy--no unnecessary frills, just what you need, which fits the experience perfectly. We ordered the cuatro golpes, and it delivered. As a Boricua who's spent plenty of time around Dominican food, I can say this felt authentic--like sitting in a friend's kitchen rather than a restaurant. That's not something you come across often. Before leaving, I took a look at the board with their lunch and dinner offerings--chivo, oxtail, red snapper, sancocho. That alone was enough to guarantee I'll be back next time I'm in Miami.

Visited here on a Saturday and was immediately able to sit and enjoy. Service was fast, friendly and accommodating. Food was delicious. Oxtail is usually available on Saturday and came with a great portion of white rice, red beans and a side tostones.. it was enough for 2 people. When in Hialeah, I do my best to come here because it's a great spot.

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'm giving 3 stars for the service. Our server was nice, but there were a few things I wasn't too happy about. We were offered still or sparking water, so I said "still". I should've asked for tap water but it didn't cross my mind. The water was $12 which was a surprise since it was almost the price of the food! When I paid by card, the server with the credit card machine was on the phone speaking with the manager in Spanish. The screen of the credit card machine was faced away the whole time so we wouldn't have been able to see the total. It was a bit shocking being charged almost $37 for one dish that cost $17! The service charge is ~20% and already included in the bill. Even though the food was good, I felt a bit icky from this experience so I won't come again when I'm in Miami Beach. If it was only one of the above I would've been able to brush it off easier, but the combination of being charged for expensive water + not being shown the total before being charged + server being on the phone + 20% service charge before tip was quite a lot. I sat outside and it was really nice being right on the sidewalk and people watching! Cute restaurant and great location right in the heart of Miami Beach.
