    Cheese pizza - sooooooo good
    Lennette M.

    Pleasantly surprised at how delicious this pizza was! I will definitely be returning and also trying other menu items!

    Pizza Large con Jamn

    The pizza is delicious, so much cheese. One of the best cuban pizza I have ever had. I did takeout, but I went in the place and the ambiance was cozy. The service was fast and easy.

    Excellent Cuban food and service!!! Everything tasted stupendous and the portions still as big as I remembered from several years back. The place is clean, good looking and cool temperature. The 3 young ladies and the 2 young gentlemen that served and interacted with our table were very helpful, attentive and extra nice. The crew also sang happy B-Day to our table and they did it Cuban style with the maracas (like their name) and all. The rest of the tables got involved clapping as the crew was passionate about it and attitude is contagious.

    Lively atmosphere. Friendly staff. The pizza was delicious with a refreshing twist on a classic favorite, pepperoni and cheese. The pepperoni was flavorful, with a crispy crust, and very cheesy. I will return to explore more of their menu. And the Lava cake was delicious.

    I know it has been a fat min since I wrote a review. However, I am back better than ever to write more reviews my fellow yelpers. That being said, I thought I start with Marakas Pizza ! I went here today for a late lunch with my best friend. We used to go here a lot when I lived in Miami, but since I moved, I did not have the time. More so, I did not want to drive all the way to Miami a lot. Anyways, I am really happy I went back to this place. I definitely enjoy the atmosphere of the place. It is kept very clean inside. They have a. private parking lot. The pretty waitresses were very sweet. Even though they had masks on, I had a strong feeling they were smiling at my friend and I. One of the waitress greeted us with a bottle of water and couple of glasses. She gave us a good amount to check out the menu. The place provided QR code menu sticker that was placed on the corner of the table. It did not take my friend and I long to know what we wanted to order :) We ended up ordering: Medium 14' Cheese Pizza - $12.88 Spaghetti Napolitano (Cheese) - $7.30 Thought about the food: Cheese Pizza, was indeed CHEESETASTIC haha CHEESELICIOUS haha. I loved how when I tried to take a slice of pizza, the cheese did not fall out of its place! The spaghetti Napolitano was a good choice to share with my friend. It was just cooked right :) My friend had said, "the prices of the dishes are very reasonable" I do have to agree with that. Plus, you will definitely have leftovers. Especially with the pizzas! My friend and I only had two pieces while enjoying the pastaaa :) [Oh!] I noticed how each table provided hand sanitizer. I thought that was generous of the place since we are still in a pandemic. I would definitely recommend my fellow yelpers as well as my future yelpers to check out this place. Not only do they have just 'Pizzaaa & Pastaaa', but they do have other delicious dishes ! Here is their menu: http://restaurant.marakaspizza.com/menus/

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.

They keep it moving fast, so typically the line moves right along. Every time I come here, I tell myself I am going to try something new, but I don't because the pan con bistec is always perfection. The steak is thinly sliced, so the sandwich has great texture. It has fontina cheese, which is definitely unique for a steak sandwich in Little Havana.

The restaurant is a classic touristy hole in the wall. You stand outside until ready to order, be prepared to wait 30+ mins. I ordered 2 sandwiches, cuban fries, and chicharrones to split with a friend. The cubano (5/5) and pan con bistec (5/5) were absolutely excellent. Both had a perfect ratio of meat and sauce. But what really set it apart was the crispy crusted bread. Spectacular! The chicharrones (4/5) were a steal - MASSIVE portion for like $5. Insane deal, and delicious. The cuban nachos (4.5/5) had their amazing sauce and garlic confit lechon on it. Delicious and would order both again. Overall, this is a tourist spot but one I don't think can be missed.

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!

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.
