Chef M.

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

We came here for a quick drink prior to our anniversary dinner. Stepping foot into Moreno's Cuba transported us to our long lost Cuban great grandmother's kitchen. We started off with a Coconut Mojito and a Mango Mojito . I always end up loving my honey's drink more than mine. His Coconut Mojito was on point! I'm usually not a fan of coconut unless it's a piña colada or holiday Coquito. Yes, I know that's weird but his drink was phenomenal. It was so good that we ended up trading the second round. I ordered the same thing he had and then we came back again the following day. The food menu looks pretty good. I told my hunny we should come back to grab a bite to eat. We couldn't dine in due to our anniversary dinner being elsewhere, but we did order the Ropa Vieja Empanadas with Cilantro Sauce. The empanadas were 3.5 out of 5. The cilantro sauce was the saving grace because it was mouthwatering amazing. Moreno's Cuba combines an eclectic style where vintage Miami meets Old Havana. Everything about this place is authentic from the old-school car outside where you can post a photo app to the lively music coming from the bar. Everything about this place is spot on this is where you need to be if you want to unwind relax or even dance a little bit. There's a 1950s Chevy Bel Air that adorns the walkway. There's outdoor seating with a funky vibe, couches, patio chairs, and a museum filled with exotic pictures, velvets, lamps, and a pretty ambience. read more

So disappointed ... I put in a takeout order, got confirmation my order was received but did not receive a msg when my food was ready. The shrimp were unbelievably tough (like it was cooked yesterday and then reheated today). I have never had such tough shrimp. It was also over-salted, and cold. I am giving 2 stars instead of one since the beans were flavorful and the sweet plantains were good. read more

The ambiance is beautiful and colorfully lit up. The service was fast and kind. The food was not my favorite though. I had the ropa vieja which I usually love at other places but I found this one kind of acidic. The plantain chips were stale. My dad really liked his Cuban sandwich though. All in all this isn't the best Cuban restaurant in the area. Nice place for a beer or happy hour drink though read more

We had the Mama's ropa viejas and the lechon asado for entrees, and classic flan and arroz con leche for dessert: it was all so delicious! And a colada with dessert: the perfect pairing with our sweet treat. The meats were tender, juicy, and well seasoned. Mixing them with the rice and beans transported us right to Cuba!! Milica was our server. She was amazing: gave great recommendations, and was very polite and attentive. The food was seriously the best we've had. The ambiance of the restaurant has a nice light Cuban music playing in the background, surrounded by flowers and plants. We were there on a Sunday night, so it was very relaxing. It was the perfect spot to chill, while our food babies rested. 100% recommend for a real Cuban experience on multiple levels! read more

Why Moreno's Cuba isn't on the radar is baffling to me! This place is so lowkey and a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. The ambiance is romantic, colorful, whimsical and creates the perfect atmosphere for drinking, dancing, and enjoying all the positive vibes. The mojitos are addicting, we couldn't stop ordering them! As for our food, we ordered the ceviche, ropa vieja and empanadas, and everything was AMAZING. We left nothing on our plates! read more

Our only disappointment was that they didn't have any empanads. We also had their special iced coffee, a tasty guava margarita and a cortada plus flan for dessert. The atmosphere is funky and fun.

We love coming to Miami to get away and relax. This is our second time coming to Moreno's Cuban food and that is because they have some of the best food we've tried in Miami. We also like that they are open late. For both visits we arrived at around 11pm and they had no problem seating us and offering us the full menu. If you want delicious Cuban food late night while staying on Miami South Beach then you must stop by Moreno's to try their food. We absolutely love the food and the chill vibe with Latin music playing through the speakers. You must sit outside too! Thanks, Ashley & Lindsey Head read more

Service isn't that great. The beans were delicious and so were the sweet plantains. The portions are small. A side of sweet plantains is the 3 pieces you can see in my attached photo. That's what you get for $5. I ordered a Coca Cola and it was more ice than soda and no refill. This place is really over-priced for the small portions. My coworker ate there before me and warned me, but I went and experienced it myself. Also, they charge you more if you use a card versus cash! Check your bill. The food is already over/priced and then they have the customers take the processing fee charge. read more

You feel instantly transported to Havana- the twinkle lights, bright colors and music that makes your hips sway. You're instantly greeted by smiling staff who make you feel like you are joining their family dinner. The service was perfect, welcoming and informative without being overbearing or trying to up sell you. The music is at a level where to you can enjoy it but it won't interrupt you conversation. You can sit outside and enjoy the protection of the trees or inside and enjoy the classic yet eclectic vibe; either way you can't go wrong. Now, the food, wow. We got the Cuban sampler because we just weren't sure which protein we wanted to try the most. And it was the perfect choice, we got to try a little bit of everything. It felt like everything was made with love, and without grease! Plus it all came out in a timely manner. My favorite was the lechon asado, it was so juicy and flavorful. My second favorite were the empanadas, fluffy little pockets of heDon't forget to ask about happy hour, they make a great mojito. read more

Sooo delicious...omg... I would definitely share the sandwich. It's big enough for two people and they do not shy away from adding meat. Let me tell you it was so much meat. And the chips were fantastic. Perfect I like them not salty not sugary just perfect. The food was extremely warm when I picked it up and it stayed warm until I ate it. Bread is just perfect. I'm not sure if they make the bread or if they just buy the bread, but it's soft on to the inside crispy on the outside. read more

I had a great time at Moreno's the other day for dinner. Andres was my server and he was really friendly and also professional. He was knowledgeable about the menu and he suggested I tried the lechon and it was super delicious. I loved the atmosphere and the politeness of the staff. I am definitely going back and hopefully Andres will be there to be our server again! Thank you Andres for making us feeling so special and for all your suggestions 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. Jorge Moreno KNOWS customer service and who they should hire. THANK YOU!! read more

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

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

Wow! What a place! we were looking for a nice place to go out to eat something yummy and to show to my boyfriend's brother a little of Miami since it was his first time here so we choice cuban cuisine and we all loved it! Plus to our surprise they also had live music which is rare to find in south beach. the food was very good, we had tomato avocado salad with mahi-mahi, spinach empanadas, chicken quesadilla with amazing house sauce which i could just eat plain! the ambiance was so nice and cozy, lovely live music, food, drinks and we just didn't want to leave. Will be back soon! 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
