Epic skirt, steak, black beans, and rice and plantains
Michael A.

Great cuban spot. Friendly, Excellent service in a welcoming environment. Lots to choose from on the endless menu.

Restaurant entrance.
Carlos D.

I came here with a group of friends who suggested it, so I was really just tagging along and didn't have high expectations either way. Unfortunately, the experience wasn't great for me. Right from the start, the biggest disappointment was how many things they were out of. The drink I wanted? Out. The appetizer I asked for? Out. The dessert I was craving? Also out. That definitely set the tone for the evening. For my entrée, I ordered the vaca frita. It was good, but nothing memorable... I've definitely had better elsewhere. The service didn't make up for it either. Our waiter was very dry, with no personality, which made the whole experience feel flat. To be fair, I didn't have a bad experience with the actual food I did get, but overall, I wouldn't return. Why come back when most of what I wanted wasn't even available?

Pan tostado!
Carlos C.

Came through for breakfast and it was a beautiful reminder of going to breakfast with my Abuelos when I was a kid. Literally had the same dish (see the photos) and the cafe con leche was fantastic. Great service as well as the waitress was very attentive and quick. Located in a busy spot and near plenty of the airport hotels. A great place to grab a meal at any given time. Nice outdoor seating as well if that is your thing.

The food, one word "Amazing!" The service was great, friendly and very fast. The layout inside was small, quaint with an island vibe oasis for the outside dinners.

Nice little diner with great selection of food. They have Monday through Sunday specials for a great price. The food was really good and service excellent. The watermelon juice was super good! They have outdoor seating and indoor. They also have an outdoor cafe area to get things to go. Parking available.

Latin cafe is solid. One of my favorite spots to hit up after arriving home from a flight. Prices are fare and food is excellent. Sevice and staff are always great.

The ham croquettes
Albert B.

My partner and I stopped at this restaurant for dinner. Its concept is similar to a classic American diner, but with Latin vibes and a Latin-inspired menu, which I really liked. The restaurant has a large indoor space, plus an outdoor terrace with many tables. In addition, there's an open takeaway window on one side, where people can buy Cuban coffee and other small items. We decided to sit inside. The restaurant was very clean, and all the furniture looked to be in great condition. Two waitresses came to take our order - one didn't speak much English, so the other translated for her. This was totally fine, as both ladies were extremely nice and sweet. The Spanish-speaking waitress was super attentive for the rest of our stay. She was always around, checked on our food and refills a couple of times, and brought the bill right when we asked for it. Great service! The restaurant menu is large and offers a good variety of food - mostly Cuban dishes. We wanted to try a few things, so we ordered four tapas: Beef Empanada + Ham & Cheese Empanada, Croquettes, Yuca Fries and Shrimp Ceviche. All of the food came out at once and pretty fast; we waited only about 10 minutes. The ham croquettes came in four pieces, served with a sauce that had a sweet flavor, somewhat similar to BBQ sauce. We liked the croquettes, and the sauce paired well with them. I had the ham & cheese empanada, and my partner had the beef empanada. We both agreed that the empanadas were tasty. By the way, I originally wanted the beef empanada too, but I asked if it had olives, and since it did, I skipped it, as I don't like olives. The yuca fries were very nice, and the portion was big! They came with garlic aioli on the side, which was very tasty. Last but not least, the shrimp ceviche was super delicious! Out of all four tapas, it was definitely my favorite. The ceviche had so much flavor! The shrimp were super fresh! The portion was generous; they definitely didn't skimp on shrimp. It also came with banana chips on the side, which was a great touch. To drink, I ordered watermelon juice, and it was absolutely fantastic - so fresh, flavorful, and tasty! I felt extremely happy drinking it. Our final bill for everything was $41, which I thought was reasonable. I especially want to highlight the $8.99 shrimp ceviche - an amazing deal for a large portion of fresh shrimp! I highly recommend ordering the shrimp ceviche as a starter; you won't regret it. Overall, the menu prices were very affordable and reasonable. Another plus of this business is that there are plenty of parking spots around the restaurant. But the only downside for me is the location - it's quite far from Miami center (where I live). The only way for me to get there is by driving, and from Midtown it's at least a 15-minute drive. Because of the location, this isn't a place I would visit regularly. Unfortunately! But I definitely wish to return to this place soon and eat there again. And I 100% recommend everyone visit this restaurant at least once. I'm sure you won't regret it!

Amazing chicken dishes at the Latin Cafe! So delicious!!!
Alec A.

This place is amazing!!! Very chill, clean, and a great atmosphere!!! Not sure why it doesn't have better stars/review. It seems like all the locals go here. The service was amazing! Everyone was very nice and helpful. The food was seriously delicious! Everything had plenty of flavor, not too much seasoning, not bland at all, just perfect! Everything seemed to be fresh or cooked perfectly! Sitting outside with nice music, and amazing weather was a perfect way to spend our evening at the Latin Cafe.

Delivery order.
Carlos R.

My favorite place for many cuban dishes that include arroz con pollo, picadillo and chicken churrasco with moros... I've literally tried and enjoyed everything on the menu. After 25 years of loyalty, I am still enjoying their food..! The customer service is top notch and I am always attended to with a courteous smile. The managers are very polite and professional and they go above and beyond to ensure I am always happy with everything. Need I say more? Visit Latin On LeJeune at least once before you die!!

Pollo empanizado
Eddie R.

When I come to Miami, this is one of the first places I come to. Their food is alway good. I had the breaded chicken, pollo empanizado, and it was fantastic. As you can see, plenty of food. It's so good. I also come here for breakfast. That is also so good and priced just right. The coffee is a must. Especially in the morning. Come eat here. Easy in and out, well kinda. I recommend it.

What went well...everything!!!+The service, the food, the ambiance was nothing less than outstanding. We arenout with our travel buds and decided we wanted cuban cuisine prior to the next leg of our flight. We decideded on Latin Cafe based on suggestions from our hotel. We are a part 0f 10, and upon arrival no tables were set up to accommodate our group...No problem, we were seated and additional tables added seamlessly. Water and table utisels arrived quickly followed with placement of our order. Food came quickly....all I can say is " there was love in each and every plate". Truly an experience worth repeating. The waitress Ahled, was superb, working our table alone, she did not kiss a beat. What a treat......

I was told that when you're in Florida ESPECIALLY Miami you HAVE to get Cuban food. And wow... now…read moreI understand why. As we were driving in, the place already looked beautiful. We came in the evening and immediately, as we walked up, there was music, people laughing, talking, smiling... the energy was incredible. I also loved that there was a bar off to the side while waiting. We ordered a few mojitos and sat outside at the tables and benches, just enjoying the atmosphere. When our name was finally called and we walked inside, I genuinely felt like I was stepping into history. The atmosphere here is unmatched. The music, the aromas, the people. God, I loved it here and I hadn't even tried the food yet. We ordered the braised oxtail (which came with plantains and rice), salmon glazed in guava BBQ sauce, ceviche tropical, assorted empanadas, and a Cuban sandwich. Everything was phenomenal. The sauce paired with the empanadas perfectly. The guava BBQ glaze on the salmon was absolute perfection. It was the perfect combo of sweet, smoky, and flavorful. The ceviche had the perfect acidity and tasted so fresh and refreshing. This is one of the most famous Cuban restaurants in Miami. It completely lives up to the reputation. Highly recommended

DIRT AND MUD IN THE SALAD!!! WATCH OUT…read more We ordered the salad with mango and pecans. They do not wash there lettuce. There was literally dirt/mud at the bottom and I took my first bite and it felt like biting into sand. Upon spitting the food out onto my plate it was black sludge. Literally my tongue and teeth were black. The waiter came by and grabbed the plate when I was in the bathroom. I spent about 10 minutes trying to get that BLACK SLUDGE out of my mouth. When I was spitting out the dirt/mud wife noticed the bus boys laughing at me and there was not a manger in sight. When I asked for a manager he did not even respond. No apology or anything just a look of confusion. Worst experience in a restaurant in my life and I love to eat and have been to many types of restaurant big and small. Cheap and expensive and this one takes the cake. We were so bummed as I see thousands of great reviews. But if there was a zero I would have given zero stars the way they handled the situation. If you eat there in the future make sure to check for DIRT/MUD.

We started with the goat cheese croquettes, which were delicious! The marmalade went well, and the pickles onions and jalapeños cut the richness and were a nice complement. Husband had the Masa de Puerco chino and loved it. Big tender chunks of pork, super flavorful. I had the abuela's ropa vieja, and it was perfect. I don't even usually like plantains, and the Maduros were delicious! Oh! And the Passion lemonade was SO GOOD!! Service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Loved everything about the experience, and we're hoping to get back while we're in Miami!

Regardless when we arrived they sat us outside which is exactly what we were hoping for. Our server was nice at first. Explained all the popular dishes got our drinks out very quickly. I think she stole our table from someone else because shortly after someone came and we told them we put our order in and he seemed a little bothered. 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.

If you're debating whether to eat at Havana 1957, let me save you some time: go hungry and wear…read morestretchy pants. We ordered the Cuban sandwich and the Cuban burger, and honestly both were dangerously good. The Cuban sandwich was exactly what you hope for -- crispy bread, perfectly pressed, packed with flavor, and the kind of sandwich that makes you pause mid-bite and just nod at the person across from you like "yep... this was the right decision." The Cuban burger was also fantastic -- juicy, flavorful, and big enough that you start questioning whether you should have skipped breakfast. The area around the restaurant was great too. Nice vibe, good energy, and perfect for walking around before or after eating... which you will probably need to do after finishing that burger. The servers were good -- friendly, attentive, and thankfully didn't judge us for attacking the food like we hadn't eaten in three business days. Overall the place has a fun atmosphere, great Cuban comfort food, and the kind of menu that makes you want to come back just to try the things you didn't order the first time. Highly recommend... just be prepared to leave full and slightly considering a nap. 10/10 would happily destroy another Cuban sandwich there again.

We stopped here at this one on Espanola Way for dinner on a Sunday, primarily because we had somewhere else in this area to be afterward, and while most every place on this touristy street was packed with a wait list, this restaurant could seat us right away. Service was good all evening from an outgoing waiter, this place was great for people watching (we were seated at a high top on the sidewalk in front), the food was good and the prices were reasonable, especially considering that Espanola Way is one of the most touristy areas on already touristy Miami Beach. I had the signature roasted chicken ($28) and my husband the Cuban churrasco steak ($42) and both included sides. We also had a glass of wine each and again, wine prices were reasonable. While we don't tend to eat in this general area often as it is so touristy which usually equals lackluster food and service at high prices, Havana 1957 was just fine. I'd happily return here.
