The decor is a little wild LOL. Some of the art gave us a chuckle but it's all the restaurant owner My husband had the Ceviche Da Vinci which was a lot smaller in portion and when asking what other leche de Tigre flavors it included per the discription, he was told it's all the same flavor. Kind of disappointed and recommend getting to share or if you're not that hungry. I got the ceviche Misterioso y Abusivo with the fresh catch and additional mixed seafood. Man was it a lot of fish! lol. For our two ceviches a Pepsi max and an iced tea, we paid $75.

Would've been 5 stars... if the 20% tip actually came with 5-star service…read more We were charged a mandatory 20% gratuity, so I'd expect at least the basics. Instead, our server stood there and watched us struggle to box up our own food to go. Not even a little help. And our water was never refilled. Now, the food... The ceviches were all pretty similar, with the exception of the coconut one. They were tangy, citrusy, and good, but every single one was begging for some spice. If you're ordering ceviche, I'd skip the mixed seafood and stick with the fish-only options. The red snapper was easily my favorite dish of the night. Deboned, fried to perfection, and presented beautifully. My sparkling wine paired perfectly with it. The salmon sashimi was also delightful. Overall, come for the classic ceviche and the fried fish. Those are the standouts. Just don't expect your 20% gratuity to include help boxing up your leftovers.

Music spills out onto the sidewalk, the staff greets you like long-lost cousins, and the Colombian food? It punches above its weight. Ceviche that snaps with citrus and heat.

The food was okay at best, honestly probably the weakest part of the whole experience. But that's not really why you go.

We were thoroughly engaged with the band the whole night, they even handed us instruments to play along with at one point, which is not something that happens at most restaurants. Service was great, and the staff genuinely seemed to be having as much fun with us as we were having with them. Come for the party, not the plate, and you'll leave happy.

So we…read morewalked around until we found it and ordered the snapper with 2 sides and a carafe of sangria. The sangria was really tasty, but definitely on the sweeter side. The snapper itself was absolutely incredible, we devoured it. For our sides, we got plantains and salad. The plantains were so good, but you can skip the salad. It's literally just some cut veggies without dressing or any seasoning other than some dried cilantro. You do have to track down the waiters a bit but they will make sure your drinks are full and that you are otherwise taken care of. The ceviche and lomo saltado also looked incredible.

Inside although small is spacious enough for numerous tables and even a nother section possible for private events or bigger parties. The menu is huge and has all the traditional foods. On this day we started with the cancha and spicy green sauce. We gobbled them up and apprciated the perfect saltiness and added spice of the sauce. Our main dishes were the traditional saltado. Meat was cooked a little more than I preferred but the rice, fries, and sauce all complimented eachother and bellies were full. Check out a staple and leave full.

I ordered a cafe con leche, a Cuban sandwich and a Media Noche sandwich. Everything was delicious. Especially the media noche sandwich. I've had plenty of media noches in my life, but never as good as this one. Not sure what kind of bread they use for their media noche, but it was so soft, just the perfect amount of sweetness. The Cuban sandwich of course was good, but tasted similar to others I've had. I can definitely see myself returning next time we're in the area.

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!

The fusion of Peruvian and Cuban was excellent and the atmosphere was sexy and vibrant. I had to try their piscojito cocktail which is a fusion of a mojito and pisco sour. Loved it!! We got a variety of dishes to share: octopus appetizer (Revolucion de Pulpo), Inka Maki (an interesting octopus roll), traditional ceviche, a chicken dish and the skirt steak (Churrasco a lo Pobre). Everything was excellent and teaming with nuances of flavors. The only gripe is the chicken was a bit dry but still good. As the evening progressed, live singing and music commenced. They were a talented pair singing song requests. The ambience and stage here make this place fun and also perfect for a date. Our server and staff was also very friendly, upbeat and solicitous. I would love to return and repeat this experience next time I'm in Miami Beach!

The food quality is much higher than many of the local Cuban or Peruvian restaurants. Huaman Lee Tiradito: This is my kinda of sashimi! High quality thin slices of raw tuna and salmon, drenched in a flavorful Latin sauce. It's different from ceviche in that the raw fish doesn't sit and "cook" in the sauce, it's just a last minute pairing. Which means full freshness and full flavor! Vaca Frita: A pretty good rendition of vaca frita. It resembled a proper steak cut, instead of just a mound of pulled beef. Though it still had that same texture and marinated taste. The onion-centric warm salsa on top livened up the flavor. The rice, beans and plantains made it feel like a comfort Cuban meal. Pargo a lot Macho: Wow! Just wow! Perhaps the best Red Snapper I've had in town. And I do love me some Red Snapper when I visit South Beach. To begin with, their snapper was huge. They deboned the meat, coated it in batter, deep fried it, and reassembled it next to the deep fried bony body. The yellow sauce was a great companion to all the fried fish. Plus they added some clams, mussels, shrimp and scallops in the yellow sauce to make it very indulgent. Glad they put some fried yuca sticks in the mix too, since those are much better than French fries. Pisco Sour (Passionfruit): The nice pisco sour rum flavor base enhanced with vibrant passionfruit. Only downside is that they seemed to skimp on the foam a bit, compared to what I saw other people get in their regular pisco sour.

There's an intense dynamic of action throughout this joint- upstairs and downstairs. There's professional performers on the center bar top. Walk to the back and there's another live performance complete with more dancers and singing with a dance floor at the stage. What's upstairs? There is DJ dancing - popular high energy music. The drinks are definitely expensive, but that is to be expected in South Beach. The only complaint is the bartenders I visited on the bottom floor to the left bar in the back and upstairs in the DJ room looked like they did not want to be there. Perhaps, this place is too wild for a continuous eight hour shift? Who knows. The jovial atmosphere in this place makes you forget quickly though. I think I stayed here until 2am dancing my ass off. I had a colorful evening and would definitely return! - maybe the dinner and show experience?
