Miami folks love to say Islas Canarias has the best Croquetas but I beg to differ. Munchies Cafe has the best TRADITIONAL croquetas and they are huge! I love them, the flavor is great. Compared to other restaurants or cafes it actually taste like what you ordered and not paste. Top tier service, great little spot. read more

I hope the owners see this and upgrade the look of this food, because I order from so many Cuban bakeries and this is by far the worst or one of the worst looking ones and for 19$. The bread is stale, the fries soggy and bland, the sausages look very skinny but at least they taste ok, and at the very least the cafe con leche is not so bad...i did not visit the location but this looked so awful that I had to write something about it so no one goes expecting anything great for this price. I will definitely not go in person here if the food looks like this. read more

Great food, service and atmosphere. Would recommend highly. Family oriented . Visiting from NC.

Pastelitos de guayaba without guayaba... plus the lady who controls the cash has a real bad attitude problem; paid and will not come back with change. Worst than Pinecrest bakery next door. Edit: so sad these folks take no accountability. We ordered two Guava pastries to go and received one guava and one with nothing inside at all. Check your Supplier and don't blame the customer. read more

Munchies Cafe - a meal in a styrofoam container - Cuban Near Me - Miami, Florida

Ordered lunch on Uber eats. We got the vaca frita because it was a Monday special. No, this isn't a half portion! This is a full sized portion. Absurd! All 3 orders were like this. For $15, they should be filling the container. Que miseria. We will still have the munchies after eating this small portion. read more

Munchies Cafe - a meal in a styrofoam container - Cuban Near Me - Miami, Florida

This place is the 1950's Havana Tropicana cabaret transported to the western burbs..this is what the Trendy - Wynwood - restaurant du jour will be in 2046! I came to Munchies Cafe 2 for my uncle's 21st Birthday, 49th Edition this past Friday night. I'll admit when I first got the invite, I was a little surprised since the name has cafe in it. I was very pleasantly surprised when I got there, since it was a full restaurant with table service and live music. At first, it was just one gentleman with a keyboard and speaker setup. As the evening wore on, it was a full jam session of guaganco, bolero, cha-cha and other types of Cuban music my uncle talked about from his clubbing days. One thing I liked is how the musician would say a little bit about the song before playing. Apparently, they have the live music every Friday. The food was tasty classic Cuban. Our party had 4 dinner plates to choose from, besides thin cut crisp plantain chip (mariquitas) appetizer with a garlicky dipping sauce and Pico De gallo and generously buttered Cuban bread. My main course was a nice helping of moros (black beans and rice), sweet plantains (maduros) and a grilled piece of chicken with more Pico and grilled chopped onions. The Pico on the chicken was different than other Cuban restaurants and I liked it Other plates served for our party included the famous lechon and vaca frita (shredded beef). Service was very pleasant, and the owner came by to wish Tio Happy Birthday, and even got most of the restaurant serenading Happy Birthday en Español. It's definitely a nice little Cuban spot for a tasty dinner. I can almost see a septugenarian Pitbull saying Dale here. read more

Ohhhhh I wanted to like this place. It's a usual spot for many of my co-workers since it's conveniently located at the plaza next door so I walked in with high hopes. I immediately noticed that party of three would not fit....they have tables along the wall that are good for only two people and the rest is bar seating. Since most people sit about a stool apart, there was no space for us three to sit together. One nice lady noticed and moved over one to make the room for us...kudos to the stranger for her kindness! I ordered my mamey shake along with a steak sandwich and couldn't help but pay close attention to the customer service as my friends ordered theirs and the end result: very poor customer service. The server was not friendly, not smiling, annoyed and just seemed plain old sick of her life as a Munchies waitress. On a positive note, food came out lightning fast! It wasn't the best steak sandwich I've had. The onions were not cut correctly it seemed. They were thick and chunky throughout the sandwich. I found myself having to pick them out since they were not sauteed in with the steak like your usual sandwiches. It was just raw onion pieces- long chunks. Maybe some people prefer that, I was not much of a fan. So I finish my sandwich along with my shake and we all decide we are going to do a dessert ...problem is they never come around to ask. We were literally sitting at the bar and the ladies are walking back and forth but no attention to the three cute girls sitting patiently. We finally decided we'd eat at the bakery next door and would ask for the check. Waited and waited and waited and waited some more. Check finally arrived- we said "Peace Out" and moonwalked our way out of the establishment. Sooooo I noticed alot of men come in here and seem to get a little better service. I'm hoping to come in next time in disguise...like a man! I'll let you know how that goes. here's a TIP: Don't order water! it tastes funny and there's black specs in it. read more

Went for a quick bite and the service was great. Immediately treated and attended. Delicious croquetas and empanadas. The colada was on point and my kids loved the cheese tequeńos read more

I used to love coming to this place to get a quick bite to eat especially breakfast. However, as of late the prices are more expensive than the local competitors for basically the same dish. Additionally, on many occasions, early mornings 7:30-8am, they do not have morning potatoes to offer with breakfast. Such a shame that they have priced themselves so far from the competition. I found other establishments like Palacio de Jugos who offers similar breakfast at half the price. Unless and until they make changes to pricing I do not believe I will return. read more

After a long day I needed calories ASAP and was on my way in to the Pinecrest Bakery for what I described to my girl as "do you want me to grab some shitty croquettas and empanadas from that pinecrest place just to hold us off?" BUT then I saw Munchies two doors down and made a bee-line that way! I'm soooooo happy I did! This place gets 5 stars because, for its kind, it's the best there is; Cuban coffee, quick food, Cuban pastries. All cheap, quick & satisfying. The croquettas are 10x better than the ones next door at the Pinecrest Bakery (gross) They might actually be homemade but im not positive. They are thicker than the usual ones and the flavor is a little different than most "party" croquettas. The buttered toast is the best! I had 2 today; one at Latin America on 107th & Coral Way (bland, cold, no butter) and one HERE which was DELICIOUS; hot, pressed thin and with plenty of butter. They've got Lotto, Scratch Offs, Beer, Wine, Empanadas, Croquettas, coffee, fresh OJ and restaurant food too (surprisingly) Its in the inside corner of the plaza with the McDonalds, TD Bank and Winn Dixie (to the left of the Home Depot) Come in, sit at the counter (or a little table to the side), watch the Auto Auction on Fox Sports, have a coffee and a sandwich. Then back to your 27th trip to Home Depot for this weekends DIY project. ;) read more

This place has consistently delicious Cuban food at very reasonable prices. The atmosphere is laid back, casual, family friendly. Service is top notch! Staff is extremely friendly and attentive. You never have to worry about hunting someone down when you need something. On their menu,you'll find all your typical Cuban food. One of my faves is the bistec de pollo a la plancha (grilled chicken) It's so tender, juicy and full of flavor! I especially enjoy going on Sundays for their brunch which features something for everyone. It's like going to a Cuban friend's home for a weekend get together. There's eggs and bacon, french toast and pancakes, finger sandwiches, pastelitos,croquetas, cereal...and of course no Cuban brunch could be complete without picadillo and white rice! If you're ever in the mood for some authentic Cuban grub head on over to Munchies, you will not be disappointed. read more

I stopped by to have a colada and 4 ham croquetas. They said they were out of croquetas and they were frying up a "fresh" batch. After waiting 6-7 minutes they brought my croquetas, but when I bit into the first one it was ice cold. Not room temperature cold, but right out of the refrigerator cold. I told the waitress it was was cold she apologized and took them back. After 5 minutes she brought 4 new croquetas. When I bit into the first one it was as ice cold as the previous one. It was like biting into a chunk of cold lard, disgusting. I had already paid, so I just left since they too incompetent to even fry croquetas. read more

We had a family reunion & Wife order Imperial Rice for 10 persons ($65.40 included tip) This time the Imperial Rice look different in the presentation. The taste was Awesome & Delicious but needed more ham in other words last time it had ham slices in top of the cheese to cover the whole tray. This Imperial Rice comes with either salad or fry plantains so we had the Plantains. My apologies for not taking a picture of this last entry :-( read more

Breakfast Always a sure hit in this little cafeteria in the strip mall next to Home Depot. Friendly Waitresses that make you feel like family, toast is always fresh and buttery accompanied with a Cafe Con Leche made to order. Any order of eggs are always cooked to your liking and if you order fries, they are freshly cut potatoes not the frozen type. Swing by and you won't be disappointed. read more

The employees at home Depot are blessed with Munchies Cafe being right next door. The owner has kept her doors open to serve the public and to give a convenient meal for the staff at home Depot. Even under this current situation I still try to eat at Munchies at least three times a week. If you want to try to help a family business continue to serve the public go by and have a nice breakfast. read more

I've had Cuban food at various locations and some are good, BUT, this one stands ABOVE them all !!! The food here has a home made taste as if your grandmother just cooked it. I've had the fried chicken (one of my favorites) crispy on the outside and juicy inside. the Palomilla which is fork tender, The Ajiaco soup Hmmmm, This is the only Cuban place I can recommend to someone from out of town. P.S: they do not include tip on cervice check and no line to add it anymore !!! must be in cash, definitely don't like this new policy . read more

Sadly have to say they used to deliver a cantina to my mother in law (she's 87) and when she cancelled it back in July, Munchies went in to her credit card 2 months later and took another $48 payment. This then triggered an overdraft in her bank. When we called them to advise, they took 2 weeks to credit back her account and the owner claimed they weren't responsible for the overdraft charge!!! The overdraft charge of $35 is a lot to an 87 year old. It would have almost paid another full week of food for her! Very bad business practice. read more

I heard they had an all you can eat breakfast buffet from 9-12pm, we showed up at 11:40 and they said they weren't going to offer us buffet because they weren't going to refill it. We decided to stay despite that shitty answer. We decided to order breakfast and made sure they didn't charge us the extra $1 that they do if you order breakfast after 12. The server was so rude and didn't bring us our coffee until the end. When I finally got my steak and eggs with a side of hashbrown, the steak was cut in half and there was yolks in my egg whites. There was FIVE tater tots that were a green color since they were clearly the ones left from the buffet. When I told them to take the plate back and that we didn't want it they just snatched the plate and didn't apologize. Needless to say I am NEVER coming back. read more

I had ordered a SPECIAL cuban sandwich (not the regular one, this one is supposed to have more meat) and two fish croquetas over the phone for carry out. I get to the restaurant, and decided to have the fish croquetas while I waited for the sandwich. The croquetas were decent. I paid and left once I got the cuban sandwich. I made the mistake of not checking my food before leaving because I had to be at work soon. Well, turns out the moment I was going to have lunch at work I encountered a barely regular cuban sandwich. It barely had ham or cheese or pork. It was disappointing, especially because it was supposed to be the special one, which was a bit more expensive than the regular sandwich. read more

Very nice ppl almost like family..food is always great. Around here its the best place to eat.

I've gone here a couple of times and never had a bad experience. The food is always fresh and the staff is very friendly. On Friday and Saturday nights they have a live band/singer playing while you enjoy your dinner. My parents love to come here on the weekends just for this. It's close to home so they can enjoy a few drinks and listen to some good music not needing to drive far for a fun Saturday night. Overall this place has great quality food with large portions at affordable prices. read more

Worst place for breakfast I just went there to get a croqueta preparada sándwich and a coffee and The girl at the window does not know what's she's doing It took her about 25m to do my order The coffee was the worst so had to get a coke instead She's pretty much bringing the place down Several people that where there when I was there said that they will not come back because of the bad service I actually bumped into the owner that was outside Well at least she said it was. It was a lady and I told her But she didn't even pay attention to my complaint So I guess they don't care So I won't recommend this place to anyone read more

I've gone several times on a Friday morning for breakfast, I usually get the "Muy Temprano" breakfast it's a good breakfast for a cheap price. I think the cafe con leche is excellent and the service is quick and simple. The croquetas are tasty but not the best I've had. They are very dense inside and don't have the typical flavor I expect from a ham croqueta but either way not too bad. read more
