My experience here was awesome. I'm actually still sitting here. I was helped by Patricia who was spectacular; the order came out as I'd hoped for with specific attention to my liking. Her customer service and attention to detail was awesome, ensuring she stopped by multiple times throughout to top off water and check on my experience. I went with the grilled Chicken breast and double side of tostones which tasted fantastic. Of note, I covered the tostones in the garlic like sauce while they were hot, which rendered them a fine combo of crunchy and somewhat soft- in short, awesome. Personally, no meal is finished without some form of coffee at the end. I admit this habit stems from my upbringing and a penchant for American, French and Italian fare but this was no different. I enjoyed a Cortadito which tasted amazing and had beautiful presentation. If I could rate this experience 6 stars I would. They knocked it out of the park. Note: They're FIU student, police and county friendly to boot. read more

I ordered an Cheese Omelette from them a couple of weeks ago after posting a review, and it finally contained the Swiss cheese. Today, however, that was not the case. It seems that rather than buying or ordering more Swiss cheese, they use a Kraft cheese substitute, which tastes awful. I'm ordering this item while I'm on my lunch break at work, mind you. This just ruined the rest of my shift since I have to eat this considering how expensive it was and how bad it tastes... read more

Luis Galindo's Latin American 2 - Bistec Milanesa -- Cuban Steak Milanese Style - Cuban Near Me - Miami, Florida

Listen it's fast quick. Don't expect Michelin quality. The thing that gets me is the faces of the servers. Everyone is mad or fed up with life. Plus the breakfast potatoes....... What in the moosh is that. This place use to be a staple here in Miami. Stay home and cook eggs and ham yourself. read more

The place is dirty, staring in the parking lot, the sandwiches greasy, the waitresses have no manners. Never like used to be, never again!

Beware: they add the tip to the bill without any notice. They feel they deserve what tip amount they decide for dropping off the food to the table. (We were 6 people) Place looks like it hasn't been renovated in a while. The staff was unfriendly. The ONLY thing that saves this place is that the food is actually good. If you're going to eat here, make sure and take it to go so they don't force you to tip. I don't have a problem tipping but it is aggravating when a place feels they have the right to add the amount they choose for a party of 6. That's simply ridiculous. Especially when the service is mediocre. read more

Just finish one of the best burgers ever. Now on the even better fries. The taste, service and service keep me coming back. My wife had the split pea soup. I tried it rich and full of flavor. Surprised that it was served hot not warm. We will be back Some Saturday for the lamp. read more

For me growing up in a Cuban household it was very hard to find a good Cuban restaurant. Recently we ordered lunch from Latin American and it blew our expectations out of the water. We ordered two grilled palomilla steak with white rice and fried sweet plantains. The quality and flavors of the food were exceptional and the portion was good for two meals. Don't judge this restaurant by its appearance because this place serves delicious Cuban food! read more

Luis Galindo's Latin American 2 - Dinner!! - Cuban Near Me - Miami, Florida

In my personal opinion latin american diners do not dissappoint. It is a place where you can go get full, pay a decent price (for miami), and the food still taste amazing. I personally come here or order from here frequently because my mom lives around the corner. This time I ordered for pick up and I normally get the same things. This particular time I went with their soups. Their soups are always good. The chicken noodle is amazing and can probably cure any cold. The crema de malanga also a win. My mom loves getting their platano soup. I had also ordered pollo a la plancha and bistec empanizado. Again both amazing both made well. I have to rant and rave about the beans as well. So good! When I got there to pick up two ladies came to ask if they can help which was amazing since it was decently busy. I sat at the bar and waited for the food to be done. Took like 10 minutes and the lady spoke to me as she prepared the food to go wrapping the soups so as to not spill. All in all this place is great. I can imagine it should be a good spot for a hangover meal especially being next to college town FIU. I would think it would cure that headache for the next day. read more

Latin American always offers great food. I love their hours, you can always count on them to find great food even at a late hour. Their deals for the completas are great. I love their vaca frita, the arroz moro, the yuca ( fried or boiled), their pan con lechon, or the pan con bistec. read more

I don't know what been going on the the managers in this place. The last 2 time that I have eaten here the place has been dirty. Both times the seats were dirty and so were the window. As a matter of fact last time we saw a dead fly on the windo sill and tonight it seems to be the same fly. These issues are bad because the food is not bad in this restaurant I have been a customer for over 15 years. But tonight will be my last time. It bothers me me to say because the food is very good. read more

I stopped by for a late breakfast and was very disappointed. I had their breakfast special that came with eggs, bacon, tater tots, cafe con leche and Cuban toast. Pretty tasteless and the cafe con leche was undrinkable. I would go to a different place for breakfast. read more

Years ago I would come here quite often. I especially loved their medianoches. Today a friend brought me here for lunch and I ordered what else? A medianoche... My friend ordered a Cuban sandwich. Well, nothing like what I used to have. First the bread was yellow ????? Then the ham was cooked and the pork was not Pierna it was lechón quite different. The cheese was not quite melted and oozing out of the sandwich. The Cuban sandwich the same except it had so much mustard you couldn't taste the rest. Usually you may use a little bit of mustard and perhaps let the guest add more. Two sandwiches and two drinks $30. Plus tip and if you use a cc you pay for it. Not satisfied. read more

Honestly think this is a solid place, the food is always usually pretty good. The service is always great and quick. It's open late, can't get better than that. And while not important I love the music they play, they always have a good station playing. read more

Excellent Counter service by Ms. Digna and the rest of the crew. We go mostly for their awesome Tamal en Cazuela. Vaca Frita is also very good. read more

Quite frankly, I cannot comprehend how this establishment has such low reviews. I've been coming here for at least 15 years. It's open late, the food is great quality and affordable Cuban food. The ambience is quiet unless the youth fair is ongoing. I always sit outside and the service is prompt and professional. read more

Like Latin American 1 but not with Coral Gables crowd. The Palomilla was good and the Tamal en Cazuela very tasty. Having said that, the white rice and the boiled yuca were cold when served. The service was good and we always got our water glasses filled. read more

Ordered a massive Cuban sandwich to-go for dinner tonight - it was delicious! At $11.15 after tax, it was a cost efficient meal and was plenty for two people. They used generous amounts of ham, pork, and Swiss, and it was pressed to perfection! I can't wait to go back and eat in the restaurant next time! This place is no frills and does the classics well. read more

Crema de malanga is great. Always open & great service. My go to for cafe con leche & Cuban toast!

The epitome of Cuban food. Fast flavorful and to the point. Don't expect a fancy place. This place is meant to get you fed and out. From inside seating to sitting outside at the counter, you'll love the experience. Generous sandwiches and a hot plate of whatever Cuban meal you desire is available. The experience is so precise that no matter which one you go to it proves it's a time tested formula. Enjoy the meal and chase it down with your favorite beverage. All while salsa is being played in the background.... all reasonably priced. read more

Made a quick stop for something to eat given it was 11:15 pm be Sunday. We were starving. I must say the service was fast, the food was good and they met our expectations for a quick delicious sandwich. We had a "bocadito preparado" with fries and a sangria. All were absolutely delicious. Dalia, our waiter, and a young smiling girl with long black ponytail made sure we had all we needed and were in and out without any hiccups. Would I recommend this place - definitely would. read more

Been going for years, love the food. Breakfast, lunch or dinner! Amazing!!! feels and taste like homemade food and atmosphere! Service isn't up there in terms of quality they see a high volume of traffic at times and it's kind of in and out, especially in the outside bar. Not that it's bad just not out of their way or high quality service. Other than that they have great daily specials and inexpensive! read more

Giving 2 stars for the service we received. The food was good but the service needs work. The waitress was nice, however she forgot one of the sides (maduros) we ordered, we told her not to worry about it, we ate, then we asked for our bill. When we got the bill, we realized we were charged for the side (maduros) that we never got because as stated earlier she forgot it. She corrected the bill, this shouldn't have happened because she should've taken it off the bill right after she informed us, we shouldn't have to remind her of her mistakes. We also asked the bill to be split 3 ways, she was confused and didn't know how to split a bill 3 way, so to make it easier for her we asked just to have it split into 2, she was able to do that. The interior of the restaurant is not appealing at all, but food is affordable and good. read more
