    Pastelito de Guayaba without Guayaba...
    Rafael S.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Media Noche $4.85  One of the best out there!

    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. ;)

    Cereal for the picky kid in you.

The shop is small with only the shared outdoor seating with other nearby restaurants. The Pan Con Bistec was very tasty and I liked the crispy bits inside. The flavor of the sauce could have been more pronounced but otherwise a really good sandwich. The Pan con Lechon was okay overall because it tasted very one note flavor and texture wise. The meat was moist and tender but I preferred the Bistec and the Cubano. They also provided a garlic dipping sauce which was very flavorful. However I felt that it overpowered a lot of the sandwich flavors. I also got the Mamey Batida which was smooth and subtle with its sweetness. My first time having a Batida and I really liked the consistency but will probably be choose a different flavor next time.

During live performances, one waitress would get up on stage and play instruments and at other times bartenders would join in. I was truly smiling from ear to ear all night. I drank delicious mojitos all night and even with a packed venue the drinks came out extremely fast! Although the restaurant was packed, our waitress remained extremely kind and attentive throughout the night. To me, the food was just good. We had the Jamón Serrano Croquetas to start. They were a little cold for my taste and not the best I've ever had but they weren't bad. My husband really loved his skirt steak ropa vieja and didn't leave a single grain of rice. I opted for the rabo encendido pasta. I like that they weren't skimpy on the rabo. The downside of this place is that to maximize space, you're packed in like sardines. The tables are basically on top of each other. A larger sized person would not fit getting in and out of their seat and my husband was constantly backing up into the people seated behind him. Overall, this is a place you definitely visit for the atmosphere above food. I will 100% be coming back for drinks, appetizers and more live music. It is an incredible spot especially for those looking for Cuban nostalgia.

I've never had anything quite like it, except maybe in Caribbean Costa Rica, and there is something so special about the way they make it here. It is literally my first stop every time I visit Miami Beach. I genuinely crave it! And then there's the quatro leches cake. INSANELY good. You will absolutely finish it. I recently tried their iced Cuban coffee with sugar and milk, and it was such a delicious addition. The passion fruit juice is also fantastic. I finally tried the grilled lobster plate, and WOW, it did not disappoint. Honestly, you might need to walk around the block a few times afterward because everything is just THAT good, and you're going to finish every last bite. Puerto Sagua has been serving Miami Beach since 1968, and it is still standing strong, serving incredible Cuban food with so much character and history. Great service and love the open restaurant ambiance diner feel. If you're visiting Miami Beach, DO NOT skip this place. Come hungry and get a taste of this iconic Cuban American restaurant. And whatever you do, GET THE OXTAIL STEW!

I think she stole our table from someone else because shortly after someone came and we told them we put our order in and he seemed a little bothered. Unfortunately, our other server disappeared and never checked up on us. We pretty much didn't have any napkins during our entire duration of our meal. At least that part was good. We started off with a couple of mojitos and their Vaca Frita Tostones. You get these homemade maduro tostones topped off with shreeded beef in a moon sauce, pickled onion, and aji Amarillo aioli. A very delicious dish that didn't last long. Shortly after we received our main dish. I really hate when they do that. My wife ordered their Abuelas Ropa Vieja and I ordered their Masa de Puerco Chino. My wife didn't really care for her dish much. We've had plenty of Ropa Vieja before and would have preferred a congri type of rice as opppsed to just plain white rice. My dish was 10/10. Like in the name of "chino" this is an Asian inspired dish with fried rice, maduros, pineapple confit and crispy pork. A very delicious dish. It could have don't without the little salad on top, but at least it ads color to the dish. The crispy pork tasted so amazing and the fried had so much flavor. Mix in some of the maduros and you get a sweet and savory dish. Would definitely be returning to try this dish again.
