So glad we found this spot! It was easy to get a table, had a cute little patio and fun live music. Milica was our server and she was very nice and attentive. The empanadas were flaky and delicious, and the ropa vieja was perfect. The restaurant is located behind the Dorchester--don't miss it! read more

We went here our first night in Miami and returned on our last night. It's absolutely beautiful inside and outside and comfortably spaced. The food was delicious. We mostly got the ones listed as favorites on the menu, and were not disappointed. I really liked the chicken soup. Excellent cocktails. Great service, though they do charge an 18% service fee. Not cheap overall but we felt like the atmosphere and the taste were worth it and I jokingly suggested we keep coming back every night... but I wasn't really joking. read more

Such a cute and delicious spot! It's a gem that I would have missed if not looking right for it. Definitely would recommend for the atmosphere and food. read more

Good mojito and pork. Service is sloooow. Table near us way too loud.would have been better if we had gotten more attention from the wait staff. read more

After reading the yelp reviews, we thought we head over to Morenos cafe for lunch yesterday since it appeared to tick a lot of times on our list of requirements. It got good yelp reviews, Cuban food, and it is nearby to our hotel. But both the service and the meal was a disappointment. Although there were two waiters and a bartender, only one waiter (ours) looked like he was doing any work. But unfortunately he wasn't able to manage it all. It took a bit for our drinks to come (food came out first), we never got utensils, I had to get up and get sugar for our coffee, an avocado salad we ordered never arrived, nor thankfully were we charged for it. The bill took forever to come. Now onto the food, we both ordered Cuban sandwiches. Although the flavor were great, they were not well prepared. Even after I asked for my sandwich to get toasted again the center was a bit cold and the cheese never melted, which to me is a true sign of a Cuban sandwich. I will say that the mojito was good. And recognizing that service was delayed our waiter did take off the included 18% gratuity, which I appreciated. At the end of the day, Morenos is a hotel restaurant. It has a nice vibe but for good food and service, I'll turn elsewhere... read more

My girlfriend and I went here when we were in Miami Beach over the weekend. It was ridiculously cold, but we still got great service. Specifically, Moe (not sure if I'm spelling that right) was amazing. She kept her cool while some other guests - who were there for less than 10 minutes - gave her a crazy hard time. We were only planning on staying for a couple drinks since it was so cold, but then we decided to stay and have some food and a couple more drinks because Moe was so great! We drank the Crocodile Colada and a coffee cocktail. Both were awesome. The food was good too - both sandwiches. I recommend this place, especially if you get Moe as your bartender! Thanks Moe! :) read more

The restaurants atmosphere was phenomenal. The entire presence it radiated made me feel the true spirit of what I believe to be south beach. The waiter we had (Jose Panyagua) was absolutely everything he could've been to make our experience great. I will be coming here every time I visit. The hotel seems like nothing out of this world, but the restaurant was great and Mr. Paniagua put the cherry right on top. read more

One of the best Cuban sandwiches I've ever had. The mojo pork is so tender and juicy, the Cuban bread perfectly toasted. Add a mojito to wash it down and Moreno's can't be beat. Service was fantastic and attentive. The ambience of this restaurant, tucked back off of Collins, makes this a little tropical oasis. read more

Moreno's Cuba - Cubano Classico and a Moreno's mojito - bless you Miami Beach - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

I wanted to treat my family visiting from out of town to some good Cuban food. Bringing them here was an excellent choice. The shrimp, chicken, ropa viejita, and mojitos were all exeptional. The only thing better that what we ate was the warm and generous welcome provided by Mr. Jorge Moreno himself. He even played a number with the band. It was an all-around great evening! read more

Best friendly staff. If management wasn't already aware they have awesome staff. Bartender was friendly and helpful to hints of the local area, we remember Natalie. Polite, recommended some night life spots. Great cortadito. Food hit the spot. I'm happy to leave a review just for the staff. Forgot some names. read more

Staff is super friendly! Drinks are delicious. Must go there next time you are in Miami! read more

Exceptional service... Delicious food. We got to the restaurant 5 minutes before the kitchen closed and the owner sat us immediately and recommended some dishes to make the ordering process quicker. Dishes were EXCELLENT and the servers were easy on the eyes . Very chill atmosphere and great if you're looking for a good food with a relaxed vibe. read more

Saw this place while walking around and stopped in! Love the vibes and decor of the place. The mojitos are served with fresh sugar cane which was a nice touch. We went with the Cuban sampler and it was amazing- highly recommend because you get to taste four appetizers and there is a nice selection. Loved being able to try so many different tastes in one meal and all were delicious! Would recommend and go back! S/o to our waiter Patrick! He was super nice and offered recommendations to us since this is our first visit to Miami! read more

Came here on vacation based on Yelp reviews. Was good... Not to die for, but OK. Needed a little more flavors. I got the Cuban sandwich. Slow service but we were not in a hurry so no big deal. Great atmosphere! Little outside cafe in the atrium of a hotel. read more

Went for brunch and the food was so good that we decided to go back for dinner the same night! Dinner was delicious. The Cuban Sampler appetizer is very good and gives you good option (I especially enjoyed the samples of the Cuban sandwiches). I had the camarones (shrimp) with garlic for my meal with rice and beans. They give you very generous portions. Be careful it if is going to rain. This place is mostly outdoors. It started pouring when we were there so a lot of people had to squeeze under the tent they have to eat. You still get rained on a bit and the floor gets very wet - but you are in FL - so what can you do! read more

Second time eating here on this trip. Breakfast this time I had dinner the other night. Food was great both times I had a very good Cuban sandwich for dinner and the waffles with eggs and bacon were great this morning. Great service friendly and helpful staff. Fast and curtious service. read more

Moreno's Cuba is a hidden gem on Collins! Super casual but rad vibe. Amazing food and the staff is super friendly!

We ordered the pan con churrasco and cubano classico and it definitely hit the spot. Bread was perfectly toasted and steak was super tender. I don't know what sauce was on the steak but it was amazing. Would definitely come back. read more

Great atmosphere! Food is okay I wanted a rice bowl but they were out of rice so it was just a little odd.

I absolutely this place. The drinks are great, the food is delicious, and even better the bartender Lulu and everyone that works here made me feel totally at home. I came for lunch by myself and stayed until 7pm. The vibe is friendly and welcoming to all, and I will definitely come back soon. This is a hidden gem read more

The empanadas are sooo good!!! So is the Arroz con leche!!! Omg and cannot forget the Cuban coffee! the one with almond milk is the one I had and loved read more

Great find. We came in for lunch and a drink. We were greeted and told we could sit anywhere. We picked a great seat in the corner. Axel was an awesome server. Quick to answer any questions, bring our food and drinks, and overall polite a personality. Make sure you tip for awesome service. Freaking fanatical job Axel... we would return to Morenos if in the neighborhood.. read more

The atmosphere was great! We stopped in after a long day at the beach and enjoyed the sampler platter and a mojito pitcher. The service was great and it was a great way to end the day in Miami with my family. read more

I haven't had this good of a cuban sandwich since I was a little girl, that my grandpa used to make them for me... and I live in miami... also the toston app was sooo good, with the fresh cilantro & cheese, & perfectly seasoned ground beef, amazing!! They get it here...And to too it off our server Lilian was such a sweet heart & provided great service. Thankful for gems like this. read more

I enjoyed the vibe, but when we just dropped in for potential lunch option the hostess seamed annoyed that we were such a large group of ladies asking to be seated (6). We chose to go elsewhere after that. read more

I had a late dinner here last week after going to art fairs all day. The waitress was overly gracious and friendly. She recommended signature dishes to eat while she also apologized for the kitchen's lack of certain dishes and ingredients since they just reopened, even sending the manager to also apologize for this. She said the seafood was fresh. All of the shrimp in the shrimp al ajillo were tough and overcooked. The sweet plantains were good at least. When she came to process payment at the table on the handheld device, she failed to mention that the tip was already included as a service charge. I added an 18% tip when prompted by the screen. I was tired and hadn't paid close attention since I didn't have a paper printout with the breakdown to review. Then my friend asked about the service charge and she briefly confirmed that was like tipping. I was furious. She was dishonest and that is poor service. Apparently, Miami has lots of foreign visitors who are not accustomed to tipping, so service charge is included at many restaurants to ensure servers are tipped. We were clearly Americans who know to tip servers after a meal. She could have easily explained this. Painful lesson learned - pay attention to your bill! read more

If I could give 10 stars, I would . This is my First ever review. On any site. But my breakfast deserves one . And the service deserves 2. Alejandro was fantastic, friendly and cheerful. Mitchell, my server was excellent and knowledgable of the area. Gave advice on where to visit during my stay. So my meal. The stake (Churrasco ) OMG. I'm a great cook. But I've never eaten steak so well seasoned,and cooked to perfect "medium well" the way I make and love it . The Croquettas. Wonderful mini bites , as a meal or side or sampler. If I could give 10 stars I would. Now ready to tour. read more

The Arroz Imperial is a very unique dish, highly recommend! Lulu was our bartender/server and was very helpful with what to order and things to check out nearby. We were staying at the shore club across the street and this was the perfect proximity when in dire need of some Cuban food. Will be back! read more

This place was awesome! The atmosphere was perfect, food was great, and service was on point. The live Cuban music was awesome! I love live music, you can't beat it! And some people were doing the salsa in the alley. We met the owner, Jorge, who was hospitable and made sure everything was taken care of, who even sat down to chat with us. I was really impressed. Thank you Jorge! Can't wait to check out your place in Wynwood! -Cleveland, Irina read more

We for waited 30 min, even though there were a ton of open tables inside and outside. After 30 min of waiting, it was apparent that the hostess forgot about us and just told us to sit wherever?! She was clearly distracted and just all around weird vibes. Ended up going down the street to eat. I recommend making reservations here!! read more

This place is a hidden gem it's absolutely cute! It's so cute! Lisardo our bartender was so friendly and awesome he made the experience everything. The decor inside makes one feel as if I am in Cuba. He took care of us from the beginning. The restaurant is located inside the Dorchester hotel, I couldn't find it and I called before arriving Lisardo walked outside to find me. That was above & beyond service. The food is just as great as the service. Delicious I had the lechon and a Cuban cigar cocktail. My friend had the arroz imperial which I also had a taste of was exquisite. I will be returning ! Thank you for the experience and great service Lisardo! read more

Saw many mixed reviews on yelp but went anyway. Food was very good. Atmosphere is great. Service was actually pretty good. Cleanliness is still a struggle for restaurants in this area. Prices weren't too bad. My wife loves flan so we have it at many different restaurants and this flan was not good. But dinners were great. read more

If I could give stars based on drinks/food then I would give this place 5 stars for the Cuban coffee. Other than that, this place really upset me. We ordered the appetizer sampler and have been waiting at least 50 minutes. They ran out of picadillo and another one I can't think of at the moment. They've changed our appetizers toppings (from picadillo to ropa vieja, which isn't even included in the menu and we really didn't have any other choice). I suggest going to Little Havana and finding some authentic Cuban food there, I'm 100% positive the service would be a lot faster and better. read more

I was so excited to eat Cuban food and I was very disappointed. We ordered as appetizer the chicken tostones and they were delicious. The sangria was very refreshing. However, I can't say the same for our entrees. The rice was cold, the beans were very bland, and it took over an hour to have the food delivered. We ordered vaca frita and received ropa vieja. The creole shrimp was good and the Cuban sandwich was very good. The service though was excellent. Monique was our waitress and I would see her running non stop from table to table and yet she continuously checked up on my party. You can tell from observation they were very short-staffed and didn't prepare for the holiday weekend. Even though we were not happy with the food, the management team did exceed our expectation by discounting certain items due to our dissatisfaction. The ambience was nice. I would definitely give it another try in the future. Give Monique a raise!!! She really went above and beyond to meet the needs of my party. read more

What can I say just five star. Big fan of me Moreno. Everything was delicious and staff hospitality is amazing. Manager and staff mAke you feel at home and just have a drink as they said your in MIAMI. Food amazing I have no complaints read more

Our waiter Axel was awesome, very attentive and courteous. With a party of 10 with 6 kids he was very patient.

Amazing esthetic I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Definitely feels like I'm in Cuba. The drinks are perfection and the food is authentic!!

You cannot go wrong with this place! We went based on reviews and recommendations and didn't really get to sit near the bar, where the real action is, but boy! The food! We tried a Cubano Classico sandwich and a Lechon Asado entree. It was a LOT of food, but something typical of Cuban meals and the meat on the entree was enough for 3 people. The food is very reasonably priced, but the alcohol does hike tend to hike up your check. Our server Gabriella was super friendly and knew what to recommend. A boon to the establishment. Would definitely recommend this place to fellow users. read more
