Recently visited and LOVED the vibe! The ambience is gorgeous! Very cozy, and decorated so well! They had a lot to choose from, and decently portioned vegan options. Their black beans were my favorite! I ordered one of the vegan dishes with the rice, and it was okay. It was grilled veggies, delicious black beans, and a healthy portion of rice. I just felt the veggies were a bit bland for my tasting, but it was super healthy! They have a huge cocktail list and something for everyone. My friend had a mango mojito, and it was definitely something to write home about! I can't remember the other cocktails, but they were all delicious. read more

Came here off the strip and loved the atmosphere. Things that could be better were food and drinks. Drink was SO sweet that i couldn't even drink it. It was liquid sugar. Food was VERY small in portion size so I ordered 2 entrees and it was just enough. The rice they serve with entrees is plain unseasoned basmati rice... weird choice. The beans also were unseasoned. Overall ambiance and pricing were great. But at the cost of having bad food and drinks. read more

Moreno's Cuba - Table seating - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Yikesssss! Disappointing! Server did a good job (slight language barrier that skewed the order but we got it sorted)! Real issue was the kitchen --- served spoiled mushy shrimp, dropped an order, bland pork, overdone steak, charred the onions on a steak dish. If you are looking for good soulful Cuban food this is not your joint. This food is bland and over salted, and cheap (the salad dressing was not homemade). Vibe is really nice - quiet and outdoors and cute lights read more

Stay away!!! This is the McDonalds of Cuban food! My wife and I were excited to celebrate Valentine's day with some Cuban cuisine but this experience fell short of short. I asked the server for his recommendation between the pork and the beef dish (21-22 on the menu) and he said "I like 21 better because 22, for me, is dry". Well, the only thing drier than the pork (21) is the Sahara desert. We also ordered an appetizer and it came out at the same time as the food. The server came out, asked how everything was and we had not really tried anything but a bite of the tostones and the boiled yuca. We said "fine" and asked for salt and the yuca didn't have any sort of seasoning. My dish was dry, my wife ordered the Cuban sandwich and it was not only dry, it also had no mustard (who makes a Cuban sandwich without mustard?!). It also had a big blob of fat in it (you can see it im the picture), DISGUSTING. Zero attention to detail. I walked in, grabbed the server and asked for the check. When he came to the table I told him about the food and he said "I asked you and you said it was fine" so I had to explain that we had had just one bite. I showed him the plates. Apparently he didn't care. No apology, offer to speak to a manager or to do anything to make it right. Horrible experience, terrible service and even worse food. Stay away. I do not recommend this place at all. read more

This place was chill and their Cuban food was amazing. Our server was Sofia. She was so sweet attentive even though she was super busy. I ordered the pulled pork Cuban sandwich. It was so savory. I was very satisfied with the food and the service. Please try it! And a alot of areas to take photos too! read more

If I could give half stars, I'd give 3.5. It wasn't bad but I wished the experience could be better! Hubby and I went on a Saturday the weekend of Art Basel, so it was definitely busy as expected. We even felt bad it's just 2 waiters for the entire restaurant, with one of them literally RUNNING from kitchen to table and back. I was afraid he'd trip with stuff in his hands and possibly injure himself and someone else. But all that chaos was understandable. What brought it down a couple stars is the food. Their namesake Cuban sandwich was not up to par, with the pulled pork cold and lacking flavor. The sauce it came with, on the other hand, saved the entire dish but it shouldn't rely on the sauce that's actually more for the maraquitas. The ropa vieja tacos were okay, meat also a little dry but at least it had more flavor than the pork inside the sandwich. The saving grace of this spot are the drinks. Unfortunately the names weren't memorable but they were delish! And I absolutely LOVED the ambiance and vibe. Felt like we were eating outside Tia's patio in the Gables, but next door to the Dorchester to remind us we're actually in Miami Beach. Lastly, I did see before we sat down that one of the waiters was clearing out our table. He grabbed a napkin and it fell on the floor, but he immediately picked it up... and I saw him wipe our table with the napkin that touched the floor. I won't be a super strict stickler because let's be real, even in other restaurants, they use the same rags dirtied from table to table so it's almost about the same. But it's worth mentioning because if this restaurant wants to be known for quality, it needs to reflect it. Big hugs to those waiters though. Running and wiping with dirty napkins, you could imagine the immense pressure they were in to cloud their judgment. I hope they got more help on the floor later that day! read more

We had a really great experience at Morenos on our vacation. The atmosphere is fun and Cuban, and the waiter we had was nice and attentive. We tried a cuban sandwich and tostones pork that our waiter recommended. The cuban sandwich was perfectly filled with cheese, ham, and pickles. Easily better than another local chain we've tried. The tostones were surprisingly good and we were happy we tried them. We'd happily come back and would recommend it to people looking for some quality Cuban food! read more

First night in Miami Beach and wanted some yummy Cuban food without all the touristy hoopla. Moreno's is on the quieter end of Collins Ave and it was quiet in the restaurant. The empanadas were a pleasant surprise because they were made with more of a flaky pastry crust vs the thicker traditional crust. They also had plantains, picadillo, and excellent aioli. The only thing I don't recommend is the taco appetizer. The corn tortillas weren't that yummy and they were a bit boring. Everything else was delicious. read more

Best Cuban sandwich I've had in South Beach and delicious ceviche. Later in the evening returned for drinks, which were very low in alcohol and sweet. Still, went out for breakfast again after the night's drink to be redeemed, but breakfast was not prepared properly and the waitress had the order wrong. In short: this is where you have to go for lunch! read more

Finding parking in South Beach is always an "aventura", and Moreno's Cuba is no exception. They offer valet for $10 an hour, but I decided to cruise around a bit and ended up parking at Collins Ave & 13th Street, where about $8 covered four hours--"una ganga" compared to valet. Municipal parking is limited, but arriving on a Sunday around 5:00 PM, with plenty of time before our 6:00 PM meet-up, worked perfectly. Just remember to follow the posted signs (head-in only, max four hours) unless you want to risk a ticket... or being towed! Moreno's Cuba sits right beside a hotel, and they share the restroom facilities. One big plus: it's pet friendly. I brought my chihuahua, who was quietly sitting next to me--until our fantastic Dominican waiter showed up, and suddenly Jazzy decided to assert her territory. Down to the floor she went, where she quietly stayed during dinner! We were a group of 6 hosting friends visiting from outside the U.S. Normally, for Cuban food, I'd head to Little Havana--not South Beach. But they picked the spot, and honestly, Moreno's surprised me. Our table ordered ropa vieja, vaca frita, and I went with the Cuban ceviche served with plantain chips. With Cuban roots myself, I had never heard of Cuban ceviche, so my curiosity won. The fish chunks were generous, the flavor bright and tangy, and the salty plantain chips tied everything together beautifully. Two of our guests had never tried Cuban cuisine--one ordered vaca frita and the other ropa vieja. When I asked which they preferred, they couldn't make up their minds; both plates were spotless by the end. That said it all. Portions were solid--not as hefty as Little Havana, but more generous than the tiny touristy servings you usually get in South Beach. I ordered a freshly squeezed lemonade, refreshing and perfect for a late Sunday afternoon. For dessert, I treated myself to arroz con leche that tasted like pure nostalgia--sprinkled with cinnamon and topped with cinnamon sticks, just like my Mima used to make. The rest of the group had coconut flan and loved it. Prices were reasonable for the Beach, and both the service and the food were on point. My only downside of the night: the little water container for my dog fell and cracked in half. Objects can be replaced; memorable experiences cannot. With the fall finally blessing South Florida, I can see myself returning to Moreno's Cuba. read more

Loved the ambiance, felt very tropical. Appreciated outdoor seating not up against the street like many restaurants in Miami Beach. Food was excellent (picadillo and lechon asado) and although portions are small, they are in line with the prices. My one complaint is they had no empanadas at 7pm on a Wednesday. They also seemed understaffed, making service a bit slow. read more

Moreno's Cuba offers a warm, lively atmosphere that immediately sets the tone for a good night out. The décor and music make you feel like you've stepped right into Havana, and the staff brings great energy from the moment you walk in. The food is flavorful and well-prepared--classic Cuban dishes done right. The mojitos and cocktails are definitely a highlight, perfectly balanced and refreshing. Service can get a bit slow during busy hours, but everyone is friendly and genuinely wants you to enjoy your experience. Overall, a fun spot with delicious food, great drinks, and an authentic vibe. I'd absolutely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a solid Cuban meal with a lively atmosphere. A huge thank you to Moreno's Cuba's bartender for being such a fantastic hostess and making our experience unforgettable he also makes a killer lemonade read more

Such a fun place! Walking in and being greeted by a lovely 57 Chevy Bel Air definitely sets the tone. And the rest of the decor all around us just so relaxing. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. The employees are all super friendly and engaging, and make you feel like you are visiting family rather than just going to a restaurant. And the food! So amazing! The flaky crust on the empanadas is so delicate, French pastry chefs couldn't touch it! The Lechon Asado had so much flavor packed in! When you marinade something overnight and slow roast it for 6 hours the result is culinary bliss. The Sangria was one of the best I have ever had, and the balance of sweet and sour showed a bartended that knows his craft. I could go on, but just know Moreno's Cuba is a great meal at a great price with great atmosphere. read more

I was at Moreno the other day at dinner. Andres was my waiter and he was quite amiable and professional too. He knew their menu and he recommended me to have lechon and it was so delicious.

Not sure what all the positive reviews are about, or if I came in on an off night. The food lacked flavor, the rice tasted old and hard, the ropa vieja promoted bell peppers, onions, and juice however it came out dry with no veggies. The fish ceviche also lacked flavor and tasted spoiled. The decor is cute however it is not worth your time and money to come here. The prices also don't match the portions and food quality served. Will not be coming back. read more

What a great "hidden" gem. Tucked just off the Main Street, once you enter, the courtyard sets a different mood from the main strip with cozy seating tucked amongst trees lit with color lights. The staff are so friendly, welcoming you to pick a seat of your choosing if you wanted to sit outside (pending availability--if filled up quickly over the hour+ I was there), which I did. They also thoughtfully shared their bug spray when they noticed me batting away mosquitoes, and even charged my neighbor's dead phone for them--above and beyond service before I even got to ordering! They were incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, quickly letting me know the most popular dishes and were able to tell me more about others. I ordered Emlo's vaca frita, a shredded steak cooked to just a slight crispiness, exactly as described on the menu and exactly as I'd been hoping for. I had a Saoco to accompany it, which came out in an adorable coconut cup--and held a lot more than it looked like it would. Overall, Moreno's Cuba was a delight experience with the staff and ambiance truly sealing the deal. read more

It is literally by a hotel so walking into the courtyard you find this shack with an old convertible outside and a small sign of Moreno's Cuba. The light strings and outdoor courtyard gives off the Latin Cuban vibe for sure and the inside shack with legacy old radios and vibrant colors brings this cool and relaxing restaurant. The waiter was very much the only one holding the fort serving us the meals for our party of 10. I ordered the empanadas and the fish ceviche with plantain. Very delicious and piping hot for the empanadas. Really don't need to make reservations since we just showed up and hardly anyone there. Definitely worth going since we were all hungry from our late flights read more

Delicious! Every dish was made with just the right amount of spice. We had CEVICHE VARADERO with plantains. I'm from California and the ceviche that I'm used to has a lot of tomatoes, onions, lime,This had so much fish, every bite was bursting with flavor. I ordered the LECHON ASADO for dinner. Let me tell you, this meat was so juicy! So tangy! It came with rice, beans and a choice of plantains, tostones? Yuca or small salad. For dessert, I was feeling adventurous. I picked ARROZ CON LECHE. Very sweet. I wasn't able to finish it on my own. Shared with the hubby. Definitely will come back to try out the rest of the menu when we come back next year! read more

One of my favorite spots for authentic Cuban food! Adjacent to the Dorchester Hotel, makes it a perfect option during Art Basel - Ink Miami show! They have indoor and outdoor seating, both beautifully decorated and comfortable! We had the empandas to start, the beef are always my go to but tried the veggie and it was also so good! The salads are big portions! Tacos are full of flavor! And the tostones are perfectly crisp and not greasy! Would always recommend. read more

Great service! Cuban kitschy look. Perfect portions for our meal. And the music makes us want to dance.

I have been here a few times as this is one of my favorite places to go in Miami for delicious Mojitos!!

Every December we visit for Art Basel we make sure to stop in at Moreno's when we visit the INK art fair. I got the empanadas Piccadillo and the tostones Ropa Vieja. The empanadas were flaky and filled with flavor, the sauces they came with were amazing. The tostones were like stacked bites on the crispy plantain. Pricing is fair for the area and the ambiance is eclectic! More outside seats than inside. But the bar/lounge inside is very cute! read more

Came here straight off the plane hungry as hell. Ordered myself a Cuban sandwich with a red wine sangria. The sandwich bread was immaculate but the pulled pork was too overwhelming and dry, I took out a large part of the meat because of this. The plantain chips that came with the sandwich were really good. I also thoroughly enjoyed the sangria. This place is a little pricey and already included a 20% gratuity despite the fact that it was just 2 of us. $37 for my sandwich, drink, and tax+tip. read more
