I first discovered this place when my mother in law brought some sopa de res to share. It's gotta be one of the best beef stews I've had. The broth really tastes like.....hearty meat. It's got potatoes and big beef chunks and the portion can easily feed two. I also picked up some food another day for my family - big pan con lechon to share, the soup, and the chicken tacos. Service was good, they cook it to order. I can tell, the mariquita chips that come with the sandwich tasted fresh and not stale like other places. Sandwich was a winner. Perfectly toasted bread, good meat portions. Ambiance inside is pretty nice. I'd enjoy eating there or more takeout. Glad to have discovered this esquina read more

The portions are massive, the lechón is packed with flavor, and the vibe feels like an old-school Cuban lunch spot where everybody's welcome the second they walk in. Their Cuban bread before the meal is one of those small details people remember, and they serve way more than just pork -- the menu is loaded with classic Cuban comfort food. During the lunch rush, parking can definitely turn into a mission, especially around noon, but getting there early makes a huge difference and there's usually plenty of parking available. The service is top notch. read more

Had high hopes. The place is nice & clean, big menu, good service, but the food was just ok. We had a couple sandwiches, my buddy's pulled pork was cold - bread was hot??? I had a Cuban sandwich, very bland, not packed with much flavor. read more

A colleague took me here for lunch and it was great. Food was awesome and service was really good and efficient. We arrived around 12 and were seated quickly. It seemed that after that the restaurant started to really fill up with lunch patrons. Room wasn't too loud. We were still able to have a conversation yet not feel like other tables could hear us. Really enjoyable lunch with leftover food to take home. read more

Let me begin with saying this review is solely based on my Doordash experience. Ordered half a Pan con Lechon and 3 ham croquettas. The croquettas were delivered in a to go container nestled on top of a bed of lettuce and tomatoes. The croquettas looked overcooked but were soggy and limp from being placed on the salad. Not sure that was the best way to package that. The "Famous" Pan con Lechon was not bad. Bread was soft, pork was tender and juicy and sprinkled in were some crunchy pork skins which was nice added change of texture. Onions and mojo were not too aggressive. Overall not a bad sandwich. But for the price of close to $14 for what look maybe a 4-5 inch sandwich I was disappointed. And when you add the soggy croquettas. The $20 spent was definitely not worth it. Maybe the experience is better at the restaurant and not through Doordash. Another experience to review for another day but as for Doordash, I would explore other options. read more

Authentic Cuban food that does a huge business especially at lunchtime. By 1:00 it's easy to get in. 11:30-12:30 you might have a wait of a few minutes. Pretty quick turnover. Really good food, felt a little disadvantaged not being a Spanish speaker but the waitresses are patient and through pointing at the menu it all worked. read more

Amazing little Lechón (Pork) place in Doral. Food was really good. Service was great. Waitress was very helpful and explained all portions sizes which was super helpful. The place reminds of a little place in the Caribbean. Definitely a repeat for us! read more

If you are looking for authentic Cuban style, pork look no further than this establishment. The Chicharrones are a must, regardless of what else you order at this location. All the employees at this location are very friendly and attentive. You can also request to customize what it is you'd like to taste and they will make it work for you. Today we had their Chicharrones for appetizer which is their staple, we also had masitas de puerco a.k.a. fried pork chunks that came with Mariquitas aka thin sliced green bananas fried and we also ordered a tamal. We arrived at noon time for lunch and by the time we concluded our lunch, every table was full, which is a great indication of the quality of food at this location. Parking can be a little challenging, so try to arrive early if possible. read more

We used to come to La Esquina often but haven't in quite a while. Having craved the chicharones, we had to go back. We ordered the sampler that had chicharones, queso, mini arepas and sausages. This was probably the best thing we had there. I got the churasco and my wife got the milanesa de pollo. Her milanesa was burn to a crisp and very dry on the inside, which sucked cause you can tell there was good flavor after a bite. My churasco on the other hand was super juicy and a nice but but had ZERO flavor. Like nothing at all. Had to add salt and a ton of chimichuri to eat it. I wouldn't order it again, also considering how expensive it was. The inside is a typical cuban restaurant with nothing too fancy. Our server OK as well. Overall I would go back but it wouldn't be high on my list. read more

Amazing, whats not to love!! Not being latin, I absolutely love all latin food, Cuban in particular!! The pork is the star of the show here and is truly one of the best in Miami. The staff are always warm and lovely and the place is clean and well laid out. They have a pork sandwich that's so good, it will make you cry!! read more

Food was awful we ordered catering for 12/24 and threw the food away, the moros, the pork, and the yuca were uneaten. Thank god we received a refund for our order but the Noche Buena dinner was ruined. read more

Had an absolutely amazing lunch. Service was prompt with limited wait for food despite being very busy. Ambiance is nothing special. It's loud due to a lot of people and no real separation beyond enough room for servers. I had the Friday special. Price was well worth the portion size. read more

They have some of the best lechon, and Cuban food in Miami. This spot is nestled in an industrial area between medley and Doral, but don't let this stop you from coming and trying some delicious authentic Cuban food. Everything from the morro, the pork, maduros, grilled chicken, even the fresh bread - is delicious. They also have great mariquitas that you can dip into their garlic or cilantro sauce. One hack is to ask for a side of extra mojo for the pork. They also do great catering, so if you have an event you need food for- you can trust you are going to get an amazing spread from them. The staff is all super friendly and helpful, and overall this spot is a reliable place for good Cuban food. I think will always stop by if I'm in the area. read more

One of the best pork sandwiches Pan con Lechon in Miami, but service was poor, waitress took our order & never came back !?!? Finally had to get up & chase down a different waitress, who basically started service at our table & when I asked what happened to our waitress, she said she was switched to take out orders. The in-house pork dishes are fresh & the Cuban bread so nice. The pork skin side dish looks like something I want to try. The Ambiance in this industrial area is busy but clean and parking is ok except at peak lunch time. The home made in house desserts like flan & tres leches were also top notch. read more

This is my twelve visit at La Esquina del Lechon and I left disappointed. The fried pork chunks were dried. The congris rice was dried and tostones plantains were undercooked. The tres leches desert was supper sweet but not yummy. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the ambiance was delightful as always. Coming to Miami and eating Latin food is number 1 on my list. read more

It's ok, over priced Cuban food. Beans are ok nothing special. Pork was ok not much flavor. Lots of these restaurants just don't cook with mojo and leaves the meat lacking flavor. read more

Stumble upon this place through yelp. Thank you!!! The speed of service, the food and the service were all amazing. We ordered the large pan con lechón (which by the way comes with French fries or mariquitas) and couldn't finish it. Will definitely come back again. read more

Emely's boyfriend here writing the review.. lol. It was a phenomenal place and the lechón is on point cannot compare to no where else. The customer service makes you feel like your right at home. The presentation of the plates is very nice. Go there for the queso frito appetizer, el famoso lecho en la caja china, and maybe dessert but it probably won't fit due to the enormous amounts. I rate this restaurant a 10 out of 5!!! Emely here.. I agree with everything he said lols So 5 out of 5 it is but it does deserve that 10 out of 5 though (; read more

This place consistently has good food with large portions and reasonable prices. Tried the pork tacos and they were fabulous. They're roast pork (lechon al carbon) is their specialty so it's loaded into the tacos. You might think $15 for two tacos? But they are pretty massive. Complete with sour cream and guacamole plus you get to chose a side. Their moro rice has some good pieces of pork too. Definitely a filling meal. The chicharron de pollo was pretty tasty too. Anything with pork will probably be delicious. read more

Extremely disappointed when I came today. I've been coming to this place since I was a little girl. I would give it one star but I genuinely think we just came during a time where staff did not care. Because I know the potential this place has. All our food came and all of our fries were cold. We asked for all of them to be replaced and it seemed like the guy behind in the kitchen was arguing with our server after she had told them that our fries were cold. Mind you they gave us fresh fries but honestly they weren't even good either, no flavor. I got a croqueta sandwich and there was not even croqueta covering all the bread, so one croqueta, one sliver of ham and the Swiss cheese wasn't even melted. So disappointing... read more

In town for business last year (August 2019) before covid hit, during the business trip had the pleasure of choosing spots to choose to eat for some close friends and teammates, over a week different spots, got to sample a little bit of everything from different nationalities and different cultures, this was our last dinner before heading to the airport last year, also it was close to a K1 speed which we happened do a lap around first before coming here to eat. Let me break down everything we had, how all of it faired starter - deep fried pork belly, this was our start plate, once this dish was served I knew this was going to be a good place to eat haha, similar to roasted suckling pig (Filipino style or lechon kawali) made perfect, meat to fat was 60/40 more fat then meat but i'm not complaining sliced small, so each was bite size parrot fish with some shrimp - I don't normally ordered fish but per the waiter it was a must try, so we ordered it and I have to say I would order it again, lite, fresh, flavorful whole side of lechon (roasted pig) - this was their signature must try dish, almost a whole side of pig roasted I believe, every section I sampled was juicy, greasy goodness, so much left over took it home and had it the next day and still had leftovers for another two days, each time reheating was in an oven was preferred flavor was perfect each time baby back ribs - standard, sauce was sweet, for me it was ok, i've had my own share of baby back ribs from several other spots, as well as friend made, this again was just ok, better then your chilli's ribs or chain restaurant ribs, but not close to homemade ribs sweetened plantains - standard, delicious with glazed sugar on every bite steamed veggies (broccoli, string beans, bell peppers and I don't recall the name of the yellow slices of veggies) brown rice or moro rice - slightly dry, to suck up all that juice from that pig this is a perfect match, by itself I would not order it again, needs to be accompanied with a meat preferably something with allot of juice or grease hahha Everything we sampled was above par, the waiter asked after we ordered are you sure you can finish all of that, I said yeah this is just a snack we're going to inandout after for 4x4 and shake haha, we finished everything but the roasted side of pork, I took what we didn't finish back home which was a 5hr flight, 20 min drive, then reheated sections of the meat for 3 days, glad to say every day just as flavorful as the first I did read allot of the reviews prior to coming here allot of them said get there early in the day if your ordering that pork signature dish or it would be dried out, the section we had was good and we ate I believe around 5pm, wouldn't change a thing food ***** must try more price $$$ depends what you order service ***** very helpful and informative staff ambiance ***** open, air conditioned, well spaced read more

The food was delicious. I absolutely loved everything that we had ordered. The only issue was there was a STRONG language barrier. The servers didn't fully understand English, which is fine. I still was able to order my food just by pointing to the menu. Just never got the beer I ordered. I tried to ask about it, but the language barrier made it impossible unless there was something on the menu to point to. There was no drink menu. read more
