Expensive prices especially compared to all of the other Cuban restaurants in Miami, but the dishes are big enough for two. I was definitely impressed with our orders of ropa vieja and vaca frita. Can't wait to try other dishes. read more

I enjoyed this restaurant. The service was fantastic. I went there several times because I was near my work. I had the lechon asado, pollo asado, cuban sandwich, flan, tres & tres leches. My favorite thing I tried there was the appetizer called tostones rellenos y camarones, absolutely wonderful and HUGE. read more

I saw Molina's Ranch Restaurant reviewed on "Check Please South Florida". Being fan of Cuban Food I meet my wife and her family for lunch. My wife comes from a Cuban family so there was some experienced critics with me. When talking about " who has the best Cuban food in Miami" is a talk that can break out in a street fight down here. It's serious business to some people. So three Cuban ladies and a gringo walk into a Cuban restaurant in Hialeah......... This is really a nice place! It's super clean and welcoming. Tv's on the wall playing the news and ESPN. I found it odd that they were playing 80's music inside. Every Latin food joint in Miami always playing salsa or other regional music on the radio. We where seated and brought water and fresh Cuban rolls right away. We ordered mariquetas for the table and placed our orders. The Marigueta's were crisp and where on point. I always get the fried chicken chunks and morros when I go to new Cuban place. My wife and her family ordered soup and Steak sandwiches. The chicken was juicy and cooked properly. It was pretty solid taste wise and was hot. It was good but not the best I've had. The Morros had pork and pork cracklings and could go "toe to toe" whith some of the best places Miami. It was good stuff!! I get tostones instead of plantains. I tostones were cold and bland. My mother in law had the White Bean Soup. She said it lacked seasoning. The steak sandwiches were big and meaty. My wife's steak was cold and the steak Had no seasoning. The soup and sandwiches didn't wow anyone. This place is a solid three stars. It might be the best in Hialeah. My reigning champ of " Best Cuban Food" is Little Havana in North Miami. Molina's does have the tools to be the best. The service was great and attentive. The seasoning was just bland on some of there dishes. When I am in Hialeah working I will stop here for lunch and try their Cuban sandwich. read more

Good food. This restaurant has been around forever. Love how authentic the food is.

Really, really good Cuban food. Plantains, fish, beans, you name it. Love Molinas! Great place to bring a large family or to go on a date! My favorite dish is the mahi mahi fillet... Enjoy!!!! read more

My usual spot to dine on my way from Miami International Airport to home was a small family resturaunt on 4th called Astoria closed. The owner recommended I try Molina's since he was closing. He was right. The food is tradional Cuban and good. It is located on my way and the food taste great. On my second stop there I had the daily special of Lechon Asado, moros and maduros all for $8.99, perfect meal at the perfect price. Since I am an American and the waitress thought I spoke no Spanish she was not happy to wait on me. As soon as I spoke enough Spanish to order she completely changed her attitude towards me making me feel more welcome. This is why i rated only 4 stars. read more

The food here is very good. I had the tamal en cazuela which was delicious. My husband had the vaca Frita with Moro and tostones. Delicious!!! If you are in the neighborhood definitely give them a shot. read more

I was absolutely thrilled with this place. The Moros and maduros were cooked perfectly. I had the vaca Frita with lime and it was phenomenal. If it was closer to my office, I would be a regular. read more

I regret wasting my time in thus horrible place. WORST customer service i've ever experienced. RUDE, DISRESPECTFUL STAFF. Lugar horible. No tienen ningun customer service. Los empleados son falta de respeto y mal educados. Nunca nas voy con mi familia. TERIBLE!!! read more

The first time I ever visited this place was in 2009, and found the food to be REALLY good. Over time I'd frequently visit this establishment always ordering around the same line of meals I'd always get, never failed to disappoint me. Until recently... they sat us with waiter Pedro. The customer service was so poor we just wanted to get up and leave but we sat through our lunch meal. I last went here this past weekend and you can tell that the food has lost quality, it's so not the same. I am not sure why or what changed but someone should look into that! Favorites: moros with chicharrones & ham croquettes. read more

Had not been here in quite a while and really don't know why because the food was as good as ever. I had the stuffed hen. Small Cornish hen with Moros inside and some kind of gravy. It was to die for. The Moros in this place are the best. The mariquitas are better than any other place I've had in quite some time. Their mojo is delicious. I could have eaten the entire plate if mariquitas by myself. The service was awesome. Glad to see the same waiters from way back in the day. Will be back again when I'm craving some good Cuban food. read more

This spot has been our go-to place for many years when we're in the mood for some great Cuban food. Yesterday I had the Camarones enchilados. This dish was perfect, the shrimp tasted fresh, flavorful and best of all was the sauce. The sauce was "chunky" and went perfect on top of the rice. That's just the plate I had yesterday, but I have never been disappointed with anything else I've ordered in the past! Would definitely recommend to anyone who's looking to have an authentic Cuban meal! read more

Overall this place is one of the best Cuban cuisine in Hialeah. Had a huge private party with reserved seating up stairs and it was great. At first there was a slight issue with the elevator but things happen. Slowly the staff got a hang of my guests and were able to provide them great service. The food is hands down amazing. Everyone left happy and full. They even made Cuban coffee for my guests on the house. Highly recommend for a private party or any special event. read more

The lamb here is outstanding. The best I have had. The service is very good. But I say I likens the lamb? A complete menu of traditional Cuban food. read more

This place used to have great food. Now, not even the moros can I eat. There is a huge possibility that you get served the bread earlier customers touched but didn't eat, disgusting. By the way a fish fillet is $25. Overly priced for the clientele in the area. Everyone one I ask have the same opinion as me. What a shame. read more

Always enjoy this spot for lunch while in Miami for business. Great food at a fair price. Last time I enjoyed the skirt stake , time before had the roasted pork. You will not leave Molinas hungry . Staff was nice to me as I tried my broken Spanish. read more

The food here is delicious! Can't go wrong with Mariquitas for an appetizer. Whatever you decide to get for an entree, make sure you get the Moro on the side, best Moro in Miami for sure! Quick service too, good for going during an hour lunch break, usually in and out in less than 45 mins. read more

Delicious food. The waiters and the people here are really nice. I ordered breaded chicken and it was delicious. I loved it. They give you freshly baked bread that is really good with butter. Order the avocado plate, is really good. read more

The food is outstanding. The palomilla was perfectly cooked. The Tres Leches is out of this world. The staff are completely perfect, attentive, and courteous. I will definitely be coming back here. read more

Molina's Ranch Restaurant - This is the world's best Tres Leches! - Cuban Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

I come here for lunch every week. Sometimes twice a week. Food is great. Today I felt like I was raped. I asked my usual waitress at the counter for a Baby Churrasco but she suggested the Skirt steak and I accepted but didn't ask for the price thinking it was comparable to what I originally asked for. Not at all. I paid $25 for this steak with one side of veggies. She lost a loyal customer that goes for business lunches as well. I am very disappointed with her actions. Then talking about it with her coworker like if I wasn't listening. Not good read more

This is the best place for real great Cuban food, the rice, Marquita's , the chicken in lobster sauce, YUMM!!, I miss the location next to my old house, but I always make the drive to this one and everyone should also. It's worth it! read more

I love the churrasco! Authentic Cuban food and pretty affordable. The place is pretty clean and has overall good service.

This was my 3 time in his restaurant. Coincidentally had the same server who was extremely nice all 3 times. The rabo encendido was just to die for. Would definitely return if in the area. read more

Whenever I'm in the mood to eat congrís and chicharrones, THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO TO!!! Good Cuban food, great atmosphere, the staff is nice, and fast service too! Place has big TV's too, in case there's a big game going on! Highly recommend :) read more

The lechon asada was fantastic - not too greasy but cooked perfectly. The rice was plentiful and more than enough for two sittings. I gave three stars because when the waitress saw we were American and didn't speak Spanish, her attitude became snotty as if she was dismissing us as customers. Maybe a bad day on her part, but very unprofessional nonetheless. I would recommend the food anytime, definitely willing to try it again. read more

Good breacfast delicious I Came from key west fl I am chef on one restaurant... and I ave great breacfast on dis place good home fries good eggs good cook I came nex time her read more

Very good food, courteous service and great ambiance. The portions are not the biggest in hialeah but then again, you get what you pay for. Loved the Milanesa de pollo. Glad I came. read more

I've eaten here for years. Food and service is excellent and the food is very affordable. FYI, there is a weekday menu that is priced lower than the weekend menu. I personally knew Molina when he was alive and he later sold the restaurant and opened El Viejo Moli (now closed). He would be proud that his restaurant continues serving quality Cuban food. read more

The epitome of a good Cuban restaurant. Everything is good, portions are huge, and the lamb is fantastic. The food is authentic as it gets. If you're in the mood for it, guaranteed this place makes it. read more

We love this place we drive a long way to get a good Cuban Meal and order extra meal when we leave. Food is always good. My favorite choices are shrimps soup, cod fritters, and vaca frita. They have a large menu of. Service is great. We have taken many people there and no one have left disappointed. read more

Our waiter is very unprofessional, and has no service skills at all. I think this employee should have more training about what services mean. The quality of the restaurant is going down because of the service not because of the food... the food is excellent! I have been coming here for 20 years since they were across the street and not only that I am coming from Redland Homestead to eat good Cuban food but I will never recommend this restaurant. I use to tell all my friends about how good this Cuban restaurant was. I hope this review helps the owner to acknowledge that the employees need more serving skills and more training on customer service. read more

Nice place. Grate food,the service is good. The ox tail is generous, the prices moderate. Always a good experience. Enjoy coming here always know i will not be disappointed. read more

No doubt the best Cuban restaurant in Hialeah and one can argue in all of South Florida. You start off with the "mariquitas" that are unquestionably the best in town. If you order them to go, they are very generous with the portions. Molina's specialty in my opinion is the moros rice which includes pieces of chicharron making for a unique and delicious blend. The menu is varied. Have never had a bad meal here and the service is good. They also have a very well stocked bar. Worth the drive from anywhere to get good Cuban food! read more

As far a Cuban food this is my favorite place So far even though I've only eaten here once. Very professional staff but the food was amazing I went for lunch and ordered Lechon asado roasted pork with rice and beans and plantains the rice and beans are amazing and have bits of chicharrones in the rice but the pork not stands by itself soo flavorful. Gotta say that it was one of the best lunches I have ever had in a while. Very new clean place and the service I great. I had the flan and coffee after the meal both excellent. This place is a no brainer also try the shrimp creole looked amazing with dirty rice read more

This Yelp review has been long over do, If you are ever in Florida and want to experience authentic Cuban food and service, you have to go to Molina's in Hialeah. Eating at Molina's is like going to mom's or grandmas house and having a meal. Each bite takes me back to childhood and each bite is more comforting than any mac and cheese could ever be. EVERYTHING on the menu is scrumptious but I will start off with my favorite dish The Picadillo. Their picadillo is perfectly seasoned. Ay! the salsita that this glorious minced meat is swimming in is good enough to have by itself with a soft hot piece of one of their Cuban rolls, have the picadillo with white rice, black beans and platanitos maduros and you've just made your day. Also, their prices are very affordable. I ordered take out the other night and I spent under 10 dollars for my meal, I even had leftovers that I shared the next day. I would suggest the mariquitas for the appetizer and don't be shy to drench them in mojito sauce. For dessert I would suggest the classic Flan, it is smooth and just sweet enough to hit the spot. Molina's also carries the best Cuban sandwhiches, Media Noches and croqueta preparada. Please run don't walk to Molina's, I will personally take you myself everyone should experience Molina's at least once in their lifetime. read more

Great excellent service and food ... if you're there for lunch and/or dinner. Don't go there for breakfast; been coming to Molinas for years however never for breakfast until today .... big mistake ... skip breakfast at Molina's ... read more

We were in the mood for Cuban food so, we turned to Yelp. Found this place had a bunch of good reviews and 4 stars. Still wondering how they got those stars. First we were seated by a young man that waved us down from far away holding up fingers, very rude and he was very out of place. I ordered picadillo it was not good. Basically they took found beef dumped a butt load of cumin and tomato sauce and served it. And the service, well let's just say I felt like we were bothering the waiter with our presence. Not going back. read more

Best cuban food I have had, better than Versailles and La carreta! Great hidden gem in Hialeah. Service was great and food exceptional! Just amazing, and this is coming from a Cuban American who was born and raised in Miami, the food here is the best cuban food hands down! Great place! read more

Great Cuban food. The Lechón is fabulous. Location is ok. The staff is not very friendly.

My experience with Molina's was that the food was lackluster and the service was AWFUL. The waiter literally threw our plates on the table, with my plate landing on a fork. When it was time for the check, he delivered it without uttering a single word. Never going back to this nasty place. read more
