Parking: small parking lot Interior: super small shop with maybe 6-8 counter seats. Wait Time: I ordered to go and it took about 15-20min. Staff was great. Items Order: Thursday lunch special: 9/10 Costilla Asada Spare Ribs $12 (after tax) - Ribs were cooked well but meat was still tender. Seasoning was good but could be better. Fries were well done and large portion. Side salad was a good complement to the fried foods. Bring cash! $1 ANY card transaction read more

This place has terrific food and great prices, but possibly THE WORST customer service I've ever experienced. And don't you dare ask for your cafe con leche any different than the way they usually make it, or there will be an upcharge. First time I went they charged me one price, and the second time it was $1.50 higher because I was asking for too much cafe-when it was the exact same order as the first time, and it's the same amount of cafe they give me at other restaurants. Two visits was enough for me-I won't be going back. read more

Authentic Cuban food at a ridiculously affordable price. Places like this remind me how food tells the story of who people are and where they come from. They focus on the food, and the food only. La Fama is a little hole in the wall located next to a Spanish supermarket. You'll see a window known as a "ventanita" - and folks ordering Cortados or Cafe con leche. There are two sides to this place, a bar seating area or a small dining room - in either room you'll get full service. The women serving you and taking your orders are also squeezing fresh orange juice, and toasting fresh bread. The cooks in the back are loud and you're able to see it all happening right in front of you. It feels like your in someone's grandmothers home. The food, absolutely delicious. It's all coming out fresh, flavorful, and up to par. I keep coming back here every time I stop in Miami. You can have a coffee, 2 eggs, toast, bacon, and orange juice for under $8. Just to give you roughly an idea of what you're looking at price point. My favorites on the menu: Pan con Bistec, Pork Chops, and the Chicharron de pollo. All paired with white rice, and black beans. read more

I knew there had to be a top notch quality local spot that's not a bazillion dollars to eat and 'La fama cafeteria' is it! I had to have the Cuban sangwich which was muy delicioso and my buddy had the whole fish of the day which he's devouring ahora. Will be having several more meals here while in town and allow my finances to take a breather. No se olviden los pasteles de guava read more

La Fama is a true Miami gem, excellent food and service. I've lived in Miami for three years and this is by far one of my favorite places in the city. So affordable and it's a great home cooked meal every time... don't miss out on the colada either. Almost come daily and never leave disappointed. read more

Just left and had to run on here to tell you how amazing this place is! We had a sweet server I don't remember her name but she was so attentive! The atmosphere was pleasant and a lot of people sit at the bar - you can dine in or takeout! I took the last pastelitos which were AMAZING!! Queso y guava - only available when we went around 7pm I'm sure they have more pastries and sweets we just went late in the evening! The food was omg so delicious I can't wait to come back here during the morning to get first of everything! I left with my cafe con leche on my hand - love authentic Cuban food and this is it!! read more

So it's in the Cuban hood. I don't even know if I was supposed to be there. I don't speak enough Spanish to be all over Miami. Still, everyone was nice so we let it ride and it turned out great. There are people there reading their papers, eating their food and minding their business. It's a regular neighborhood spot. We ordered at the window. T service was great, but slower since my Spanish isn't that great. This place had inexpensive food. They had great coffee. The portions are generous. read more

We went on a Saturday early evening and all the specials were sold out. That says something. The service was very humble and sweet. Def a great place to stop by if you're willing to humble yourself and enjoy the rustic and retro nature of this cafeteria. The chicken soup is great and warming, the churrasco covered in a delicious garlic and cilantro oil sauce and the plantains were soft, sweet and perfectly cooked. read more

Café con leche so good. It's hot and just the right amount of sweetness. Also don't pass up the pastries. The cheese con guava , the patty, and the potato ball were delicious. My daughter and I ordered the specials. Baked chicken and Carne Asada. Food was on point! And super affordable. We came out spending less than $20 per person. If your in Miami go to this place. It's the BEST! read more

La Famosa Cafeteria - Café con Leche - Cuban Near Me - Miami, Florida

This little cafe was super crowded at lunch time. That's always a good sign! There menu is filled with all the traditional Cuban fare ubiquitous to Miami. I tried something new, a bread beefsteak sandwich "bistek empanizado". It was delicious and huge. I kept half the sandwich for the next day's lunch. They also, of course, have all your favorite varieties of Cuban coffee. I had un cordadito to finish off the meal and it hit the spot. When you go plan to take your food with you. Order to go because their dining area is small and over crowded (no social distancing). I couldn't get a table during the lunch rush. read more

Such a gem off the beaten path in Wynwood! Nothing fancy but the food is packed with flavor! Came for breakfast and it did not disappoint. Cuban coffee was very flavorful and actually not too sweet. Same with the maduros, great amount of crispy and not too sweet. Also can't beat less than $20 including tip for breakfast for two plus a side of maduros and two Cuban coffees, especially in Miami! read more

Small hole-in-the wall lave with only a few much counter seats and three tables. Food is great and an amazing value. Just FYI: You come for the food, not the ambiance read more

I am in love with this place! The food is sooooo good & very affordable. Even though it's right down the street from the touristy part of Wynwood, La Fama Cafeteria is very locals-oriented. The pan con bistec-wow! The chicken soup-yes please! There are 2 sides-one with counter seating only and another with a few tables. They are usually pretty busy but the servers are very friendly and hardworking. There is a lot out front for parking and free street parking if the lot gets full. read more

We visited Miami for a week about a month ago. It was great! We wanted to get some good Cuban food and this place was the shit! Best decision ever. Great sandwich, great everything, even the papaya juice was amazing and I don't even like papaya. Steak sandwich was $6 FYI. So good. Would come back to Miami just to eat here again. 10/10. read more

Definitely a reliable spot. Can't go wrong w the rice and beans, maduros y tostones. Don't sit down if you're not on Miami time, took us 15 minutes to get the check. Although this is a typical local spot, I would recommend it to someone from out of town looking to get some authentic latin caribe food. Won't beat this price anywhere in Miami. read more

There are no words. The food was amazing, the people efficient, but welcoming, the prices were great, the ambience was authentic, warm, boisterous, felt like my Cuban mother's house in the middle of a party. Server shout out to our server, Gina, great recommendations. We were even able to purchase a bag of ice to keep the leftovers cold as they will be in the car for a while. Best meal we have had in Florida. We got the roast chicken and the fish soup, plantains were crazy good as were the red beans. Didn't love the french fries though and the black beans were good, but not as amazing as the red ones. read more

They make the sand which fresh and on the spot for you but the food can use some extra flavor. My chicken breast was good but I can get that anywhere nothing special about it. I like that you can see them making the food for you and they weren't cheap with the amount of chicken they gave me. They need to have tomatoes, chesse & other options to add to sand which like grill onions, etc!!! They take too long to cook the food. However I rather my food cook instead of getting sick but they need quicker service. Overall its okay but not worth me driving here. I will try other places until I find a very good Cuban sandwich spot. read more

Oh try the potato ball with meat inside! My only regret is not coming back here for dinner! read more

La Famosa Cafeteria - This was the steak sandwich. Questioned the shoestring in it but surprisingly worked well. - Cuban Near Me - Miami, Florida

I give 4 stars for food, 5 for service, and 2 for ambiance. The place needs an update, the same but updated. I had roast chicken, it needs more flavor, yuca was good. The service was friendly and familiar. The gentleman at the cash register made sure that everyone was taken care of. I recommend this place read more

I stumbled across this place as I was walking through the Wynwood area. It's a little hole in the wall so it's kind of easy to miss. Once inside, it's a cute cafeteria style small restaurant. I ordered the super steak sandwhich. And the bread was so fresh and warm. It was good!!! The waitresss was also very friendly and accommodating, which made my experience even better. Also, this place is cheap!!! The menu has a good amount of options with the highest amount being around $10 !! I finally found a Cuban food spot in Miami. I will be stopping through here again read more

My dentist is 6 blocks away and I was hungry so decided to look on Yelp, and found this hole in the wall. The chicken soup was good with lotsa chicken, but watch out for bones. It came out warm not hot, but it was quickly reheated. The lechon asado special came with moros or white rice n black or brown beans. Large tasty portions, but a good amount of my pork was rock hard, and plantains were cold. Parking is very limited. I'll go back if in the area. read more

This spot is the definition of a hidden gem. Tucked away in an unassuming neighborhood, La Fama is putting on an absolute clinic with hot delicious sandwiches at great prices.

If you are a fan of homestyle cooking where you will feel like a local, La Fama is it! A few blocks but a world away from the trendy Wynwood Walls area, La Fama is almost literally a hole in the wall. No obvious signage, it's on the first floor of a 2-story strip mall. The best indicator is the to go window. The entrance is next to the market. You can sit at the counter and see the workers dishing up the food a few feet away. There is a slew of daily specials, which come with your choice of yuca or salad or plátanos and rice & beans. The portion sizes are VERY generous. I ordered a "small" bowl of chicken soup. The bowl was filled to the brim, with a big portion of chicken, chunks of carrots and noodles. Enlivened with a squirt of fresh lime, it was total comfort food. At $2.80, it's a bargain. I ordered one of the daily specials. The oxtails were savory and slightly spicy, studded with briny soft olives. It went beautifully with the congri. Unlike a lot of places, the food is not over salted. I also tried the banana milkshake - delicious! A handful of Honey Smacks cereal gave the shake a depth of flavor without making it heavy as ice cream would have. I ordered the yuca as my side but I saw plenty of people ordering the salad, which looked fresh and studded with big slabs of avocado. Service was super hospitable. Extra napkins were supplied and water glasses refilled without my having to ask. It's like food your imaginary Cuban grandmother would make. Highly recommend! read more

My husband told me about this hole in the wall. So this was our choice after visiting the Rubell Collection - it's an easy walk through an old Miami neighborhood. Well, it was great! If Spanish is not your language, the colorful menu is bilingual. The food is great and reasonably priced. My husband had the churrasco - labeled petite, but certainly a good lunch portion. I had the half roast chicken. Beans and rice really good, yucca nice and garlicky, maduros (fried plantains) like candy. Highly recommended. read more

Petite establishment with huge FLAVOR!! The place was packed but service moved very quickly. I ordered the Wednesday special: Roasted turkey with rice and red beans. Big portions for your $$.
