    Delicious empanadas! [Miami FL] La Esquina is their original store and is a little corner sandwich shop on SW 12th Avenue and W Flagler Street. We stopped by to get a quick snack before heading out to Little Havana on 8th Street. They are a walk up counter and no table seating to eat. Street parking only (if you can find one) and trying to find one can be challenging and downright frustrating... "I just want my empanadas!!" LoL! They offered authentic traditional Cuban sandwiches and Pan Con Bistec. We had already planned to have lunch at Calle Ocho so we just bought empanadas and stuffed potato ball. Now I regret not trying their Pan Con Bistec as I've heard they make the best, like how the Cuban immigrants used to make it. In our experience here we purchased two chicken empanadas, one meat empanada and a Papa rellena estilo Cuba (Cuban stuffed potato). The employees didn't speak much English but we were able to catch on. If I'm ever back in Miami this would be my second food place to stop. Review #2889

    I ordered several pan con bistec sandwiches for my staff at work and a media noche sandwich. Each sandwich was about $10 on Uber eats. The sandwiches were a good portion. The pan con bistec had ver soft Cuban bread and the steak was thin and easy to eat with great seasoning. Everyone enjoyed their sandwiches!

    Very friendly staff. This place is busy so you might have to wait just a few minutes. The croquetas are 95 cents each and double the length than regular ones. What a steal!! They are very very thin crusted and soft. That means mostly filling.

    I'm from CA and have been hearing about how Cuban bread bistek with meat been done locally. Of course this is the only chance I can taste the local authentic Cuban style empanadas . Lol my wife o believe had the plane croissant and maybe a beef empanada and I had both chicken and beef. Yea I should've got other bread but we were on a time crunch for suppose to be a walking tour in little Havana. I ate the empanadas later at our resort and All of them was very delicious. It's different and juicy as well. Not dry like what I taste here in CA. It's different good. The only thing I can advise is this is a corner store / bakery and don't have a sit down dining area. It's popular with the locals and if you're expecting to have a sit down chow down ... it'll be in your car.

    Review # 850. The name of this restaurant is literally means the corner of steak sandwiches. It is located at the corner of, where else, Flagler and SW12th Ave in Miami. There is no place to sit down, the counter literally is at the edge of the business lease line. Your place your order, get your food and sit if there is a stool available. On the day that my wife and I went there, I ordered a Cuban sandwich, of which I was told that they were out of the delicious Cuban pork for the sandwich. Who in their right mind runs out of this ingredient for a key item on their menu. Very disappointed about this. My wife ordered a steak sandwich, which is their namesake. We got both sandwiches, went back to our hotel room, and had lunch. I must say both sandwiches were very delicious, even the Cuban without the pork. Definitely worth a try when you are in Miami. Just make sure to ask them to make sure that they have pork for the Cuban sandwiches. I'll give them a second chance in the future.

    You can't always judge a food place by its cover. They are just a walk up counter, nowhere to sit and eat but great pan con bistec. These are 2 little old ladies working who are the kindest, friendliest people I have met. They have intentions of opening more little shops in little Havana. Parking sucks as it is street parking, it is only a walk up counter. They have a few items on their menu but all I can account for is their pan con bistec. It was very good, the steak was cooked differently than I'm used to eating at hispanic places, I believe if my palate isn't lying to me that they use oregano to season it. The one thing I did not like is that they add ketchup to their sandwiches and I wasn't aware they did until after, it was fine I still ate it but beware, if you don't like ketchup on your pan con bistec then make sure to ask them not to add it!!!! And well the prices can't be beat.

The shop is small with only the shared outdoor seating with other nearby restaurants. The Pan Con Bistec was very tasty and I liked the crispy bits inside. The flavor of the sauce could have been more pronounced but otherwise a really good sandwich. The Pan con Lechon was okay overall because it tasted very one note flavor and texture wise. The meat was moist and tender but I preferred the Bistec and the Cubano. They also provided a garlic dipping sauce which was very flavorful. However I felt that it overpowered a lot of the sandwich flavors. I also got the Mamey Batida which was smooth and subtle with its sweetness. My first time having a Batida and I really liked the consistency but will probably be choose a different flavor next time.

During live performances, one waitress would get up on stage and play instruments and at other times bartenders would join in. I was truly smiling from ear to ear all night. I drank delicious mojitos all night and even with a packed venue the drinks came out extremely fast! Although the restaurant was packed, our waitress remained extremely kind and attentive throughout the night. To me, the food was just good. We had the Jamón Serrano Croquetas to start. They were a little cold for my taste and not the best I've ever had but they weren't bad. My husband really loved his skirt steak ropa vieja and didn't leave a single grain of rice. I opted for the rabo encendido pasta. I like that they weren't skimpy on the rabo. The downside of this place is that to maximize space, you're packed in like sardines. The tables are basically on top of each other. A larger sized person would not fit getting in and out of their seat and my husband was constantly backing up into the people seated behind him. Overall, this is a place you definitely visit for the atmosphere above food. I will 100% be coming back for drinks, appetizers and more live music. It is an incredible spot especially for those looking for Cuban nostalgia.

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!

Unfortunately, our other server disappeared and never checked up on us. We pretty much didn't have any napkins during our entire duration of our meal. At least that part was good. We started off with a couple of mojitos and their Vaca Frita Tostones. You get these homemade maduro tostones topped off with shreeded beef in a moon sauce, pickled onion, and aji Amarillo aioli. A very delicious dish that didn't last long. Shortly after we received our main dish. I really hate when they do that. My wife ordered their Abuelas Ropa Vieja and I ordered their Masa de Puerco Chino. My wife didn't really care for her dish much. We've had plenty of Ropa Vieja before and would have preferred a congri type of rice as opppsed to just plain white rice. My dish was 10/10. Like in the name of "chino" this is an Asian inspired dish with fried rice, maduros, pineapple confit and crispy pork. A very delicious dish. It could have don't without the little salad on top, but at least it ads color to the dish. The crispy pork tasted so amazing and the fried had so much flavor. Mix in some of the maduros and you get a sweet and savory dish. Would definitely be returning to try this dish again.
