I stayed at a hotel across the street on vacation and ate at Moreno's three times while there. We went back the second and third times because the food is delicious and the staff are all very friendly. It's in a beautiful spot too. I had dinner at Havana 1957 as well while visiting and found the food and atmosphere at Moreno's to be much better. It's more laid back and authentic feeling. read more

food was good..we were greeted by a host who was sitting fanning herself..service was horrendous..would have been one star but the food was good read more

Really great vibe and music but the service was SO bad that it goes down to 1 star! Indifferent staff took over an hour to bring out a mojito and Cubano sandwich on a Sunday night. Worse, it came out cold so we asked for a new one and got two since the staff was very confused. And it wasn't us, table next to us waited 30 mins for the waitress to take the bill. Good grief, please get a manager who knows how to run a restaurant! read more

Just the right place for a quiet lunch. Excellent Cuban sandwiches a few short blocks west of Collins Avenue, and a world away from all the chaos of the beach scene. Outdoor tables tucked away in a shady, narrow, secluded courtyard. Ideal. read more

Loved it! Sat down at the bar with Gabriel the bartender and he served his special! Ended up meet with the Managment that's as authentic as their food and vibe. read more

Seriously.. Worst service ever! Our 1st waiter took our drink order and then disappeared. Got coffee and waited 10 min for cream. Waited 30 min and finally had to ask a random worker to take our order. Waited another 30 min to get the food (scrambled eggs and fried eggs) and both of our plates were still missing food (potatoes and bacon). No one came to see if our food was ok. No one came to refill our drinks. Worst experience in Miami thus far. read more

Love the spirit of this place! Good Cuban live music early Saturday night! Unfortunately music is stopping too early :-(

#16 and #19 were awesome - this place is a find! Great drinks and atmosphere!!!! Atmosphere is really nice.

Personable and friendly staff. Fantastic service and entertainment! Chill vibe in a gorgeous setting. Ask for Alexus as your server and you must get Jorge to sing a song or two! read more

Love this place. Hidden gem of Miami with great service, an authentic vibe and good drinks! The food is traditional cuban style plates and it is amazing; I would highly recommend this as a go to place one night in Miami. The service is great as well and the staff is knowledgeable; Axel was our server and was the best! Thank you again for the great experience while visiting! I will definitely be back. read more

I have seldom given a one star review. Having said that and that my room at the Rivera Hotel looks out onto the bar for this eatery, I planned on an early lunch on our second day while my husband was in meetings all day. . I wish I could say that I actually sampled the food, but had to leave after sitting and waiting for over an hour! The place turned over three times and still no food for me. First they told me I couldn't order lunch because I was 20 minutes early 11:38 for their noon start time. So I ordered breakfast (I wanted rotisserie chicken really) and at 12:38 still had not received breakfast. People came and went (after eating off of the lunch menu) while I was still waiting on my breakfast. I was not impressed with the level of service, or the timing of food coming out. Ate a breakfast bar and went to the pool. I wasn't pushy or in a hurry. That was ridiculous! What I saw looked really good. Too bad I never got my food. read more

Hidden gem in miami! Highly recommend paying a visit for some delicious cuban food! I got the garlic grilled shrimp! loved it. Loved the music. Loved the atmosphere. read more

I saw mixed reviews, but I decided to celebrate my birthday here. If you are coming, make sure that Milica is your server! She is very kind girl, she made my birthday special! The food was excellent, mango mojito was great and service perfect! Recommendations! read more

We had a beautiful dinner here during my best friend's bachelorette! The live music is so soothing. The patriots game is on and we're loving life! The service was great and we got tequila shots!!! We walked here from SLS Hyde pool party read more

Moreno's is located inside the Dorchester hotel right across from the shore club . It was a bit hard to find but well worth it. The decor is beautiful and the service was beyond great, not to mention the flavorful food and drinks. I have nothing but great things to say about this restaurant. Had a great evening and will surely return. read more

Unfortunately, Morenos left much to be desired. Recently visited for breakfast. While the menu grabs your attention and you start salivating, the food is a let down. Cafe con leche is weak, pancakes are horrible, and the steak is average (tad under seasoned). The sweet plantains are solid. Service is slow and unattentive. I'm not sure they can justify their prices. This place is not Latina approved. read more

This is a must do restaurant. They're super nice and the food was so good! They played live music and they also played some of Desi Arnaz "Ricky Ricardo" songs. Definitely a feel of Cuba! read more

the food is like crop and they will charge u the wrong price. watch out!! There r further in the chicken.

The food was OK but a bit meager in amount. The mojitos were on the lower end of the scale, too sweet and too little lime. Most distressing was the terrible service. The place was only 1/4 full at 9 pm on Saturday--maybe others have learned!! Our waitress was not in the least bit busy ( There were two waitresses and and only 3 tables filled.) She stood at the end of the bar chatting and I had to get up and summon her whenever we needed something. So I thought, bad service...mediocre tip. When she finally delivered the check and disappeared never to reappear, I saw an 18% gratuity had been added for our party of two. The menu stated an 18% gratuity would be added for parties of 6 or more. I had to take the check to the other server who said "It's the South Beach way" to add an 18% gratuity. This had not been our experience, and it seemed disingenuous. No wonder our waittress felt no motivation to be even modestly attentive. read more

While food was OK, the service was terrible. When questioning the bartender/server on the menu, he had no clue and just nodded and told us it was good while not being able to explain what it was or included. He obviously did not care about us, rather paying more attention to chatting the girl next to us or playing with his phone. For drinks we ordered 3 mojitos and when the bill came, we saw that we were charged for 4. When I questioned the bartender he said, that's what you ordered, and then paid no attention to us. I told him again that we only had 3, and he simply said, well I had put 4 in the computer so you must have had 4. His attitude and arrogance will unfortunately keep me from returning here. read more

This place is great! Delicious food, amazing atmosphere. The music was fantastic and service is great. Will definitely be coming back next time I'm in town! read more

Delicious food and great entertainment! Such a fun atmosphere. Would certainly visit again!

Average at best. It's completely shaded so if it's cold out your food will be frozen half way through the meal. The orange juice sucked. No way I go back. read more

Would've given it 5 stars yesterday based on my takeout order, but after returning for a sit down meal with two others, my mind changed quite a bit today. The Picadillo was delicious yesterday, so I recommended it to my girlfriend when we sat down today. I wasn't sure why she wasn't gorging on it like I was, so I had a taste of hers: Completely inconsistent with the day before...strange taste, like someone poured vinegar and Italian salad dressing on it, completely ruining it. We also had really awful service to boot. Our server kept forgetting orders, so we had to repeat them to him a lot...and then wait....and wait...a lot. In fact, a simple lunch turned into a 2-hour session of utter disappointment. Then to top it off, they do that unsaid little practice that some shady SoBe restaurants still adhere to: "Gratuity Included". I'm a great tipper, so this is an insult to me. So in the end I'm bummed out, because I thought I found this great little hidden spot for righteous Cuban food (well, yesterday I did)...but the inconsistency of the food and the awkwardly bad service says otherwise today. read more

One of the worst Cuban sandwiches I've ever had. Sloppily put together with low quality ingredients. Very disappointed.

Amazing Cuban food any time of the day. Can't beat the awesome ambiance and great service by Patrick! Always my first stop when in town and highly recommend it. read more

It's a cute space (narrow alley, cute decor) and the owner and servers were really nice and accommodating (bringing out some big heat lamps upon request on a chilly Miami night). However, I thought the food was actually a little bland which is something coming from me considering I hardly ever add salt to my food. I got the roasted chicken with mojo and the white meat portions were on the dry side and if I wasn't eating a piece of chicken with skin or onions, the chicken was not very flavorful. My boyfriend got the shredded pork which I felt had more flavor and salt but he took issue with the blandness of the black beans. I liked the recommended appetizer which was a croquetta wrapped in a tortilla so it resembled a wrap which was fun. The food is fine but it's just not great especially with all the quality options in Miami. I had a feeling the food would be disappointing based on the online menu despite the yelp reviews (which I did note were predominantly from yelpers with few reviews) but I wanted to empower my boyfriend in his restaurant selecting and this was his pick but I think I might have to assert my dominance after this. read more

I ate lechon! So good! But as usual, what makes the place special is the staff! Thank you Wendy:-)

Small little authentic Cuban food. Bartender is a sweetheart. Treat you as family. Fun time I most definitely recommend.

The staff at Moreno's is awesome! We were welcomed with opened arms and the happiest staff. Bruno makes the BEST and freshest margaritas around. We will always stay at the Dorchester when visiting Miami so we are just a few steps away from Christina, Nevena, Thalita, Bruno and Axel. They are truly the best and made our stay a step above the rest! read more

Great coffee. Excellent service. We had breakfast twice at this restaurant when we stayed at Riviera Hotel. I highly recommend.

Cool place. Nice staff. Drinks are expensive, but what place on south beach isn't? Good luck to u guys.

We really don't like to go to one place more than once when on vacation. But having Moreno's for our first breakfast in Miami ruined us. We have had great Cuban food from Cuban Queen in Key West, but this is incredible. In overpriced, exploitative Miami, Moreno is VALUE. $17 for a steak sandwich would be normal or cheap in South Beach. At Moreno's it's a bargain. The cheese, the bread, the meat, the onions, every ingredient pops as if the owners searched the world and hand selected each to be part of this creation. I can't recommend specific things on the menu because every single thing we tried was a win (but go for the shrimp tacos - tiny but bursts of flavor). The pastries at breakfast were made to order, the pitcher of mojito is the way to go. Order anything and everything. The service is friendly and phenomenal every time, the ambiance, the decor, everything. Give them your drivers license as collateral and they'll give you a battery charger for your cell phone delivered to your table while you dine. Maybe this is a thing but I've been a lot of places and I'd never had a place do that before. Some people complain it's hard to find but pull your head out of your ass and look around! It's in Dorchester Hotel (outside access). read more

Swank spot on Collins. Love the atmosphere and the bartender was awesome!!! Thank you Elizabeth for making delicious drinks and being a great host. read more

The atmosphere at Moreno's had a funky, cool vibe and the new waiter tried his best. Ordered a $35 pitcher of mojitos which took about 20 minutes to arrive and tasted like sugar water, barely a hint of lime, mint or rum. The female bartender was quite rude when I asked for more rum and proceeded to ask me if I even knew what a mojito was! I have never been treated so poorly. The empanada was cold, ordered the fish ceviche but got was served shrimp, The pork dinner was ok, nothing special, served lukewarm. Disappointing experience. read more

Great food. Unique and cool atmosphere. Great service. Would definitely recommend this to a friend.

I am so mad that I didn't discover this place earlier in my trip to Miami! This place is a hidden gem! This has the most delicious cuban sandwiches I have tasted in a while. They weren't dry and they definitely didn't lack flavor! Also I loved that even though it was 1030 in the morning we were able to order cuban sandwiches (I know that's a really early brunch). I also ordered pastelitos which is like a cuban style danish filled with cheese and guava. It was out of this world! I wish I would've took some to go! The breakfast looked really good though especially the nutella pancakes. The only thing I didn't really care for was the lack of service when you first walk in. We walked in and there was nothing to signify if you need to wait to be seated or if you seat yourself and then once we just sat down ourselves we had to get a menu from the bar because a waiter hadn't gave us one after sitting down for ten minutes. However, I really liked the decor of the place it was hidden behind two towers and tents covered all the seating with palm trees and lights surrounding it. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

This place is awesome! Great drinks and hospitality. Would recommend while visiting south beach

Cute off the beaten path place. Great vibes, AMAZING mojitos, and make sure to ask for Mario he's the best!

Great atmosphere and good service-not so great food. Yelp you lead me astray. It wasn't awful, just not that good.
