    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/

    We had a connecting flight in Miami, and I was craving a good cup of coffee. I stopped by…read moreVersailles and ordered a small cappuccino and a guava and cheese pastry. Both were absolutely delicious. The pastry filling was light and not overly sweet, which I really loved. The staff were super friendly and recommended the guava and cheese pastry, and I'm so glad I took their suggestion. Since the coffee was so good, I went back to buy some coffee beans, but they only had ground coffee available, so I picked up a bag. I can't wait to make it at home. There was a line, but it moved pretty quickly. If you're at Miami International Airport, you have to stop by Versailles Coffee, it's definitely worth it.

    I was excited to come here because I have heard so much of this place and I came with a large group…read moreof people. This place was huge with many seats and was busy for a Wednesday afternoon. This is a perfect place to come with large groups and there is plenty of free parking. We were seated quickly and waters came right away to our table with menus and our server was ready to take our order as soon as we were ready. Great friendly service. I ordered the CHICKEN VERSAILLES. It was supposed to be a half of a chicken marinated in mojo. It came out, pounded and tasted dry; not moist at all with a small cup on the side of mojo sauce. I was very disappointed. Maybe if I had tried something else on their menu I may have been happier. It came with black beans and rice which tasted ok. We sat for a while after paying the bill to have conversations, but we were told we had to leave because they had to get other people in. So if you want to relax and have a conversations wait before you pay the bill or you will be rushed out. Unfortunately unless I was asked to come again with a group or with a friend I would never come here on my own.

From a bartender/ server, I can say I'm always looking for good service and he delivered. The food was really good we had the ham and chicken croquetas, as well as carnitas frita de cerdo.

The Palomilla was very tender and seasoned well. We also ordered a few mojitos and Cuba libres. It was also pretty cool watching all the action take place behind the bar. They had a special mojito guy would make about 6 mojitos at a time. Will definitely be back.

The food is the kind of Cuban cooking that makes you go quiet for a second: a beef and rice bowl with black beans, sweet plantains, and avocado that was rich and deep and comforting, plus a flaky empanada that disappeared in about four bites. Nothing felt like a tourist version of Cuban food. It felt like someone in the kitchen actually cares. Then the live music kicks in and the whole room lifts. A band right in the space, real Cuban son, the bartenders working behind that gorgeous bar like it is a performance of its own. The cocktail program is legendary for a reason, the cantineros are pouring with serious skill, and the energy is electric without being a chaotic club scene. Yes it is on the pricier side, entrees run into the thirties and up, but you are getting top tier food, world class drinks, and live music in one seat. Worth every dollar. Five stars, easy, and I am already trying to figure out when I can go back.

An older waitress served our table. She first brought us calamari that was undercooked, sticky, and raw. She replaced it with octopus, which was more expensive, and we agreed to keep it. We also asked for tap water, but she brought us bottled water instead, which cost $10. The restaurant was very dark, making it difficult to notice these things right away. Before we had a chance to review everything, the food was already served. When the check arrived, she pressured me to pay quickly, so I didn't have enough time to carefully review the bill. Later, I realized we had been charged for additional side dishes that we never ordered, which increased the total significantly. This restaurant is wonderful and doesn't need these kinds of tactics. I only wish they employed more honest waitstaff. My advice is to carefully check your order and your bill before paying so you don't end up spending extra money or dealing with unnecessary stress that could ruin an otherwise enjoyable evening. I truly loved the atmosphere and the food, but I was very disappointed by the service. For me, the ambiance and food deserve 5 stars, while the service deserves only 1 star. That averages out to a 3-star review.

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.

I'd come back to try more of their traditional dishes and cocktails.
