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.

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!

I wished I remembered their names... I just know they were really good

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!

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!

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.

Catherine D.

Loved this spot on Collins it's kind of hidden ... there food Omgish so good it just got better and better. For sure get the sampler appetizer so you can taste everything. A little pricey menu doesn't reflect prices. But would recommend when down on south beach nice service and he was the only waiter serving all the tables so they could have used some help

Had an amazing birthday dinner here! It's so festive and I just couldn't stop smiling. Delicious food, nice portions and prices, great service! They made it a special evening!

Atmosphere and ambiance was nice. Waiter was so friendly. Food came out wayyyyyy too fast and tasted like it was sitting under a heat lamp. Mojito was pure syrup. Could be we went late but I really did want to love this place. Unfortunately it's just a like for me. Check it out for yourself & thank me later xoxo

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.

I tried this place while I was in Miami. I will say the Cuban sandwich was excellent. The atmosphere is very casual but also very Cuba like. Definitely a cool place and great place for a Cuban sandwich and plantains! Service was very fast and super friendly.

Great food. Authentic decor. Sophia was a friendly and efficient server. We enjoyed everything from appetizers to entrees. I got the Abuela Chicken. It was very tasty. Husband got the fish and enjoyed it as well. Delicious plaintains as side. Yum.

Veronica P.

Such a beautiful space inside and out. The food was great and not super duper expensive. Music was so good. Great for a girls lunch or a date night. Highly recommend!! Service was so nice too. Great time!

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

Ok so I had my Chef friend in town for an important exclusive catering event and he wanted to have some Cuban food. He only had an hour window so I was limited to place due to location and time. So here I find Moreno's which for some reason I had bookmarked on Yelp. It must have been featured on Food Network for I dont know what reason?!? He wanted a Cuban Sandwich or masitas de puerco so I figured they can't go wrong, right? Wrong! We arrived and it had a good patio and we were seated. We were presented with the menu and it had little to be desired for. They have Cuban Sandwiches and apparently sought after or so we thought. My friend even asked if they were good which the waitress replied with certainty "The Best!" It clearly states on the menu they are served on Cuban hoagie and I did look on posted Yelp photos that supported the such. So you could imagine my dismay when I saw the plates. I was stunned!! He was served a "Cuban" on sliced Italian bread! Oh wait it gets better...my father who ordered the "Pan con Lechon" was served on what looked like a Burger King's Whopper bun! It was also presented upside down bottom bun up. They were served with a side of pre packaged run-of-the-mill mariquitas. I was so deflated...I knew that eating on South Beach would be expensive as they exploit the tourists but to pay for food that looked like left overs from your grandmother's kitchen is a joke and insulting! Maybe they were going for an immersion experience and wanted you to feel like you were in the Periodo Especial in Cuba. The restaurant's chef came out to explain she was new and had recently changed the menu since they are a Cuban fusion restaurant! It's the same posted menu...that they are hiding under the umbrella of "Fusion" to cut corners and justify the food because they cannot afford the needed ingredients to survive the current pandemic is something else. Ummm.. you be the judge! On the plus side, the entire staff were very pleasant and nice. read more

Very little flavor. The mojito was average and the roast pork marinated for hours was bland as well. I expected much better with all the 4 star reviews. Versailles in Los Angeles is a 10, if you've never been there, you should try the roast pork and roast chicken. Now THAT is amazing. read more

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Moreno's or our waitress, Nevena! We came in this past weekend with a group of 11 girls for my bachelorette and were instantly smitten with the live music, décor, and menu. We had made a reservation and when we arrived the table was ready for us and we were quickly sat. They have a great drink menu and allowed you to order pitchers of some drinks which made for some great sharing in our large group. We started out with plantain chips which came with a sauce that our group couldn't stop talking about. It was a garlic cilantro sauce that went perfectly with their chips! We then ordered the ceviche (sooo good) and a mix of different entrees! I personally thought the ceviche and the Cuban sandwich were the best things we ordered but everyone was extremely happy with their meals! Onto Nevena...where do you even start? She made the entire meal so pleasant and continuously went out of her way to make sure we were happy and enjoying our experience. She even brought out a little bachelorette surprise drink for us midway through dinner and we couldn't have loved her more! I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend eating at Moreno's and trying to sit in Nevena's section! You will not be disappointed! Thank you so much for an incredible meal/experience! read more

This ambiance, bar, service, and food here is EVERYTHING! The food alone is amazing and worth the visit. The plantain chips are the perfect appetizer and come with this amazing house sauce (Think cilantro aioli - delish!). The ceviche was incredibly fresh and came with a side of sweet plantains or yuka. Both are wonderful options and the perfect starch for a night of drinking. They also have Cuban classics like ropa vieja or the cuban sandwich. The service and ambiance here were truly out of this world. I cannot say enough about our incredible service. She was personable, accommodating, knowledgeable, and so much fun! Please ask for Navena if you get a chance to go to this authentic and lovely restaurant! read more

Just go! You won't regret it! It's a great location, it's unique, it's very laid back, the food is fantastic and u can't help but have a good time. I had the best Cuban pork I've ever had and some delicious mango daiquiris. There was also great live music. I later found out that the singer was Jorge Morena, a well known Latin Grammy award winning singer. He's part owner and drops in once in a while and lends a hand. Apart from serenading us, I also saw him and the musicians cleaning up a few tables and handing out menus. It was THE best night of my trip. read more

Morenos is certainly a beautiful outdoor shady spot for lunch in Miami. I found it peaceful and lovely to sit and enjoy the atmosphere. The bar is gorgeous and there are funky murals on the walls. I also loved the mojito - very solid. I was very disappointed, however, with the food. Perhaps I made a bad choice with what I ordered but the ceviche was just fine and the side salad (served with italian dressing!?) and four measly sweet plantains were not worth the price in the slightest. I would not go for this again - especially at $16 dollars (with 18% gratuity automatically included!). Expensive lunch and only mediocre, small portions. read more

We wanted to try Cuban food since the Cuban culture is so big in Miami. This popped up on yelp and the pictures and reviews looked good. The time we wanted to go wasn't available so we called the restaurant to see if they could fit us in and they did! The place isn't as hard to find like some reviews said. We had no trouble finding it. The place (and entrance) looked so cute! We walked all the way in back to where our table was and there was a small live band playing. We got a free round of tequila shots from the waiter! Not sure if everyone gets that too or because we're there for a bachelorette party. Anyway, we ordered and while waiting, just enjoyed the live music. The food came out in a timely manner! I ordered the Lechon asado with extra rice instead of beans with sweet plantains. Everything was so good! My friend got the imperial rice and that was good too. It was my first time trying Cuban food so I'm no expert here whether i can tell if it's super authentic Cuban food or not but to us, it was yummy. We all also ordered a pitcher of mojito. That fed 7 and more. Towards the end of dinner, people and I believe some of the staff were up dancing to the live music so we all decided to join in! It was so much fun. The environment was definitely cozy. The staff were so nice! Seeing them having a good time and including us in it was cool. This place is cute and the food was good. Server and staff were so nice! The server gave us a few recs to go to around town so that was nice of him! I definitely recommend this place to people visiting Miami! read more

What a great experience! Came from NJ on business and of course had to try some Cuban food. The food was great, drinks superior to anything I've had in Miami Beach thus far, and service was amazing. Santiago, the manager, was also my server and bartender. What a delight! He was efficient, friendly and mixed a great cocktail. I was told they closed temporarily for renovations last year...don't miss out! They are OPEN! Back in business and ready to serve up some amazing Cuban food!! Friendliest service I've experienced since getting to town. I ordered the Shrimp al ajillo, with yuca on the side, and WOW. Visit Morenas. You won't be sorry! Drinks, food and service are my main concerns but if you're interested the decor is also super Instagrammable. read more

I don't know much, but I do know good food - and this place has it. I am somewhat ashamed to admit that, until I ate at Moreno's Cuba, I had never tried Cuban food. I'm here to tell you that I'm now a fan and I don't mean kind of. To my mind, there are 2 measures of a great restaurant: 1) how good the food is, and 2) how comfortable/relaxed are you while you're there. The food at Moreno's Cuba is so good that I'm willing to fight somebody over it, and I was so comfortable I felt like I belonged right there and nowhere else. The owner and waiter made me feel like we were all old buddies, and there is clearly a magician cooking in the kitchen. I laughed a lot and ate a lot and a good time was had by all. We were in Miami overnight and I searched Yelp for hidden gems and Moreno's Cuba came up. We made a reservation with Yelp and walked over a couple of blocks to the restaurant. The owner, Mr. Moreno, waved us in, sat us at a table, and immediately struck up a conversation with us about food and what we liked, etc. He suggested we get some Empanadas and introduced our waiter who ran right off and brought back the best Mango Mojito ever. The feta and spinach empanada melted in your mouth and the beef empanada did the same. We ordered Imperial Rice, Lechon Asado (roasted pork), and Tacubas (tacos) with pork. The sides were rice, black beans, and plantains. Everything was fantastic (with a special salute to the imperial rice.) I wish I could go back and try the rest of the menu. If I can go back to Miami Beach, this is where I'm going to eat - or else. read more

We went for a late lunch, there was no wait and no crowds. We enjoyed the Cuban vibes of the restaurant with its perfect music, tropical plant decor, string lights, and an old fashion car (great for insta pics). We got yummy cocktails and great food!!

We went very late, close to closing time. We were still able to receive amazing service! We decided to eat outside so unsure how the inside looks. First time trying Cuban food and I was extremely impressed. I will advise anyone to put this restaurant on their list when visiting Miami. The strawberry daiquiri was not really strong but it's okay. I loved the vibe of the entire restaurant: the different table clothes, plates, etc. Definitely make sure you get a pic in front of the nice car out front! read more

Im sad that im giving this place such a low review. At first I thought I would be writing and amazing review. I made a reservation through yelp for 7:45, when we got there, there were two very large groups waiting to be seated and we only waited about 5-10 minutes. Our table had a reserved thing with my name on it (which i thought was quite cute). My boyfriend ordered the ceviche, he really liked it but i only had a bite. We got a chicken empinada and a beef wmpinada, they were so good and the sauce that comes with it is amazing. I ordered the Vaca Frita and he got the pork dish i dont remember what it was called. The food was amazing and if i was just reviewing the food id give them 5 stars. Our waitress was so sweet and attentive but she was the only waitress i saw the whole time we were there and she was running food and hostessing. She was constantly running all over the place. I felt slightly bad that she was spread so thin. The prices were fine, 18$ for my entree i believe. Restaurant has a cool set up and a nice vibe. The reason ive only given 2 stars is because my boyfriend got horrible food poisoning from this restaurant, which is sad because i did like the vibe and food. Maybe we were just unlucky here but i dont think well be coming back. read more

What a refreshing find! I love everything about this place and will definitely be back. Hell, I'm confident I'll be a regular here. I ordered the Despeartate cocktail to start off with (which if I remember correctly was Pear Vodka, St. Germain, strawberries, basil, and a splash of champagne) After, we had the Lechon Sweeto which really surprised me! It was a very creative appetizer that uses Cuban staple foods arranged in a Trendy way & easy to eat. As soon as I tried something and realized, how good it was- we had to go for more! Our server Mia brought us the Mordiditas of Pan Con Bistec to share with everyone (and to soak up the alcohol of those delectable yet stiff drinks) The bar brought us out some off the menu items as well. Oh, how I love to be spoiled. This restaurant can have me for Breakfast, lunch or dinner- I'm committed. I ordered the Piccadillo (Cuban marinated Ground Beef) as my main entree. I inhaled it. So amazing (don't tell Abuela) The live music was very entertaining, then I realize it's the Owner himself Jorge Moreno who I just had to shake hands with for having such phenomenal taste. Everything was so perfectly fine-tuned and boasted that Retro Cuban Glam that people yearn for in a Cuban restaurant. Sad thing is, most Cuban restaurants look like generic cafeterias. Thank you Jorge for keeping the spirit of Cuba alive and making this one trendy spot! So what's not to love? Phenomenal service, retro glam decor, delicious Cuban food with a twist of much-needed trendiness, prime location & LIVE MUSIC! Great, now I'm hungry again... read more

If you run out of syrup in your machine stop offering fountain drinks, the portions are super small it felt more like a tapas spot instead of a restaurant. They served me steak soup instead of shredded steak there was so much extra juice in the shredded beef it was drowning, there was more oil than steak.

Arrived at Moreno's at 10:15pm ready to have some amazing Cuban food. Not so much. Kitchen was closed. I then decided to sit at the bar and order Jack Daniels and coke for my Buddy and myself.

Had a great experience here! Although it was POURING, we decided to stop in and get some authentic Cuban food while in Miami! Despite the rain, the staff did their best to dry everything off and accommodate us, including moving us several times when the wind changed and started drenching where we were sitting. Most of us ordered the Media Noche after reading reviews that it was the way to go for a Cuban sandwich. It was fantastic! Really thinly pressed, but still a good portion size. Also love the potato sticks it came with. I would recommend asking for a side of aioli which I did and added it! The space is pretty tiny and would definitely not recommend going there in the pouring rain, just because even though it's covered, it's pretty open and doesn't have walls anywhere! However I would definitely recommend it and think the space would be so much fun on a beautiful day. read more

History

Established in 2013.

Moreno's Cuba officially opened in October 2013. We began modestly by offering delicious Cuban coffee and Pastellitos - Cuban flaky pastries filled with guava marmalade and cream cheese. After seeing growing excitement of our patrons, who simply adored our ambiance, vibe and music, we decided to open a full kitchen, expand the menu to include classic Cuban breakfast, lunch and dinner dishes, as well as a full bar featuring our signature mojitos. We were extremely excited when New York Post voted Moreno's Cuba Classic Mojito one of the top ten in Miami. We feel that Moreno's is always in the process of transforming and improving. Due to the feedback from our guests we changed our location to provide our patrons with more comfort and space, as well as an indoor dining option. We reopened at the Dorchester Hotel, just around the corner from our original space, in July 2017. We welcome any suggestions, which can make the experience of dining with us even more amazing and memorable.

Moreno's is owned and operated by restaurateur Malwina Kowalczyk and Latin Grammy Award winning singer Jorge Moreno.

First off let me begin to say how much i enjoyed Morenos Cafe, felt like i basically visited Cuba!! I came here at least everyday to experience breakfast, lunch, and dinner.Although it was pricey (which i expected in south beach) the staff and quality of food made the stay absolutely worth it. The cuban sampler was the smartest choice since i was able to sample different appetizer, the employee Jose highly recommended the Ceviche and suggested I add the tabanero sauce on top. It became my starter everytime i went to eat. The Ropa Vieja with platanos maduro and fries was like eating back at my grandmothers house. As for the customer service, after staying for 3 days, i seen Jose working almost everyday either setting up some event, running back and forth doing almost everything. I even seen him hop onto the bar for happy hour and still serve me and my lady friends. As i paid for my tab i gave him $25 tip and said "i know you're not supposed to tip managers but here you go" and he laughed pretty loud and followed it with a "i appreciate it but im not a manager, does that mean i get more money" and winked at me!! Jose is beyond exceptional and honestly even if the food sucked and the hotel was atrocious i would've still enjoyed it just because i knew i was gonna get excellent service not because he HAD too but because he genuinely enjoyed making people smile.

We came to this place as it was recommended by some friends whom are staying at the Riviera hotel for Basel. Almost as soon as we walked in it started pouring as if someone dumped the bucket on us. Since the restaurant is located in the courtyard of the hotel and the seating is mainly outside, rain cause chaos. Everything was getting soaked. This sounds like a perfect recipe for disaster, however it was the exact opposite. We had an AMAZING time. Staff was extremely attentive and was trying their best to make sure we were fine. They gave us towels, kept making jokes and trying to make us laugh against all odds. I felt that they really cared. Since we were trapped, we got a chance to try few appetizers and one entree each. My personal favorite was empanada sampler with chicken and spinach and feta empanadas which came with 2 different sauces. I also liked avocado and tomato salad with grilled Mahi. Fish was amazing - seasoned and cooked to perfection. I kept wondering how they managed to deliver my food dry and intact. We also ordered pitcher of Mojito, which is a good deal. Mojitos were great. We were told by our server that the secret is that they are made with love lol I need to add that the bar is beautiful. I love the design concept. Thank you Jose, Jorge and Gabriel for making this night memorable. We will be back to see you again. read more

I had my birthday party here in May and I cannot say enough good things about this place!!! If you're wondering why it's taken me so long to write this, well it's cause I'm not a yelper, but today I came back for a tomato and avocado salad (love!!!) and I realized I just had to say something. This place is one of Miami's best kept secrets, tucked behind the Rivera Hotel. Live music every night, the staff is friendly and if you catch Jorge on his guitar, well you're in for a real treat. He can sing anything off the cuff, and he takes requests! Pedro the concierge of the Riviera hotel was also very friendly and welcoming, and made sure I had my every need taken care of, even though I wasn't even staying there. This is a great place for the local crowd, it really feels like home here, just make sure it's not raining, or bring a raincoat. Twice I've been here in the rain, and well being an outdoor bar it was probably one of the most fun times I've ever had in Miami. Get prepared to have a garbage bag thrown at you so you can stay somewhat dry! LOL. Everyone makes room for each other huddled under the roof of the bar so you actually don't need to worry, more rain just means more rounds of drinks with more instant friends! Great experience, great food, and very friendly staff. I highly recommend it. read more

As an experienced foodie, with a goal to discover gastronomy from every culture, and not having tried cuban cuisine in the 3 years i lived in Miami ( the blasphemy! I know! ), I had to look for the perfect place to correct this mistake. And I must abide that Morenos does the most brilliant job at introducing this savory asset to my precious collection of multicultural tastes . Indeed when it comes to Cuban, Morenos does it as good as your Uncle Carlos, at Sunday family bbq on a Havana beach, but with the elegance that comes with experienced refined cooking. So i had the pleasure to test this expertise in an epicurean and cozy atmosphere, right at the line hipster-y if it wasn't for its authentic hospitality and decor. The service was impeccable. David, a charming and helpful waiter, help me pick out a dish, despite my dietary restrictions, he pointed out the perfect one : the Mahi-Mahi . A fish with a great F (or M depends how you see it) . No wonder he was smiling so bright when he brought me the plate! A dish crafted with care for design and a perfect balance of aroma and spices , just love from the first to last bite. A must try at an affordable price! Needless to say that I will come back to Morenos whenever I crave a little piece of authentic Cuba having to go there! A must try! read more

One of the best places to eat in Miami! This place is awesome, the servers are super nice and the atmosphere is very welcoming plus the decor is very unique and in good taste. To my absolute surprise, I had the pleasure to have met the owner, Jorge Moreno, whose music has meant alot to me through the years. He was incredibly down to earth and friendly which is very admirable considering his many accomplishments in the music industry. Its also important to note he really seems to care about the customers and is very personable and welcoming.The food is simply AMAZING, really well made/well thought out Cuba inspired food with a Miami flair. Every dish I ordered was brought in a very timely manner and was was very very good. The guava cheesecake is soooo goood! The drinks are great too, I recommend "Despeartare" which is a exotic fruit fusion drink with a refined pesentation. This place is a gem, there simply isn't another place like it near south beach. If you haven't been here yet or even if you have or have simply thought about it... You should! You won't be dissappointed! read more

This is Cuban done Miami style -- that means with glitz, bright color, and ultra-chic decor. Young Cuban-Americans and trendy folks of all colors, creeds, and ages make this restaurant a must. If you want to dine on Cuban specialties in relative peace with a beautiful atmosphere this is the place to go. The beans and rice and Abuela Fina's churrasco is flavorful as is the paella. The Cuba Sampler was a great way to get a bit of your favorite appetizers. The Mojitos ARE A MUST ESPECIALLY THE STRAWBERRY. As befitting a place owned by Jorge Moreno the prices are about the same as many other Cuban eateries, but the party crowd says the ambiance and hip clientele are worth every penny. We had the pleasure of Mr. Moreno's company as when asked if we could meet him, he amorously came to our table. I LOVE THIS PLACE AND WILL RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE AND I WILL DEFINITELY BE RETURNING. read more

Photos in my blog post here: https://damagecatastrophic.com/2017/09/12/em-and-stu-do-america-part-9-miami-beach/ - Outstanding pastelito - Highlight is the Imperial Rice - a must-have! - Leave room for the flan, a simple dessert but stunning flavour and texture - Lovely staff - Fantastic decor and atmosphere with live Cuban music A word of warning - it recently moved from its old location which has now been occupied by Mas Cuba, which has styled itself in a remarkably similar fashion. Signage, umbrellas, logo, menu all look like Moreno's but are not. Moreno's new location is nearby but harder to find. You have to walk through the driveway of the Dorchester hotel and pass beneath a big tree. But seek it out it is amazing food! read more

Amazing place in pretty much the heart of south beach but hidden in the doorchester hotel The Cuban vibe is amazing and the food is nothing less than outstanding Me and my girlfriend came out for my bday October 8th and we are here again for my gfs bday weekend for October 15 and we can honestly say the ambient atmosphere combined with the music food and staff and all the Cuban memorabilia is something no one ever wants to miss out on I highly recommend this spot to anyone I care about and know I actually recommend this to anyone out there to come and visit this nice spot! 5 stars on food taste and service!! read more

Santiago and his staff did an amazing job putting together a private event for my husband's 50th birthday! Trays of Mojito's and yummy appetizers being passed around with the backdrop sounds of LIVE salsa music! A family-style dinner table set just like grandma would do it was lined with the best offerings from the menu. The ambience was perfect with dimly lit strings lights and warm candles. The service was on point and attentive and the food was delicious. I HIGHLY recommend this place for dinner and even more so for private events. Moreno's gives everyone a true taste of Miami's Cuban history! Thanks! read more

The reason it's not 5 stars is the waitress Elizabeth. If it wasn't for my good friend and bartender Santiano I would've blasted her name and this place to my social media followers for the terrible service she provided. She's lucky Santiano is a great person. Great food, great environment, avoid Elizabeth at all cost. She thinks she owns the place. She rudely came up to me and told me to leave cause I was finished eating and working on my laptop even though I was here a couple days ago while THE OWNER and his wife was there doing the exact same thing. Elizabeth, get off your high horse. read more

I think most of the pics are from their old location. The food was pretty good, but the menu was much more limited than it appears here (and in fact it says "limited menu" on it?). The pineapple mojito was good but very sweet and didnt seem to have much alcohol. The new location is in a weird hotel parking lot type space and it detracts from what could be a cozy atmosphere. Also the service is insanely slow. We were the only people in the place by the end and ourbwaiter disappeared for like 40 minutes. Tl;dr: go here if youre staying in the hotel or want a relaxing drink. read more

One of my favorite authentic Cuban spots in South Beach, the ambiance is always on point, Jorge the owner is always soo hospitable. It's great for an intimate dinner, birthday party or large group, you will always have a great experience! The food is a must try, it's like You stepped into Cuba, the empanadas made fresh daily. They have live music and if it rains as it does in miami am the time no fear, they have a large inside dining area. Relocated on Collins Ave, a must stop on your miami adventure! Our server Jackie was so amazing and always checking on us! read more

Best Cuban food in Miami Beach by far! The Pan con Lechon is ridiculous. Get it with French fries, ask for it to go and walk 2 short blocks to have the best lunch on the beach. For dinner it's fantastic too, you can hear live music every night by the coolest bands and enjoy creative and unique cocktails. My Favorite is the Cactus Colada made with fresh squeezed orange and pineapple juice, cream of coconut, midori and best for last, Don Julio ! Then take a look at the breakfast menu, you'll find plenty of reasons to return to this beautiful little hideaway read more

If you want something that is not your every day restaurant, EAT HERE! It is a Cuban restaurant with a great ambiance and great food to match. My partner and I order two entrees and shared: pollo de rosisserie and ceviche cubano. Both meals were great! The chicken was moist and the seasoning was on point. I am normally hesitant with ceviche, but after my partner's encouragement I was hooked. I definitely recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a great time with the live bands and a great meal. Oh and try the sangria!---to die for! read more

This is a great place for a quick meal and entertainment as well. If you go from 7-10, you will find live music offered by the restaurant. The bartender Gabriel was awesome. He was attentive and offered lively conversation. I had the ropa vieja; which is by far the best entree they offer. The meat was tender and juicy and the sauce was to die for. For dessert, I ate the guava cheesecake! My mouth is drooling talking about it. Love this place and I loved the vibe. The entire restaurant is outside; which is great so you can enjoy the weather. read more

GREAT FOOD AND FANTASTIC SERVICE Our server Claysha (the kindest I've ever met in Miami) was very welcoming and attentative. There was so much to choose from on the menu so we went with her reccomendations. Our food came out in no time and we were amazed by the generous portions. We enjoyed The Pancake Burritos and the Cuban French Toast was delightful! Throughout our meal our coffee cups were never empty and our server always approached our table with a friendly smile. So happy we found this place.Will definitely be back again soon!!! read more

Best Cuban food I had in years . I'm shocked that this is not the number one Cuban restaurant on south beach. I ate a pan con Lechon , can you say delicious !? The atmosphere is great with friendly staff that I met throughout the whole day. Ronald and Rick cracked me up in the afternoon when I went to grab some lunch and at 7 (when happy hour starts with live music) met three beautiful girls named jasmin, Amanda and Estefania that were great help on deciding what too eat. The signature cocktails were amazing!!!! Defiantly coming back. read more

Went here for dinner with a big group for a bachelorette party. The owner brought us shots (they were delicious) while we looked over the menu. The drinks were delicious--we had the red sangria and the mango mojitos--which were amazing. We had the best waitress. She was so nice and helpful. I'm vegan and I ordered the avocado tomato salad with a side of rice and beans. Everything was delicious. Especially the plantain chips! Overall great atmosphere, great service, great drinks, great food, and good options for traveling vegans! read more
