Albóndigas Happy Wine, again small portion $11.99. Tasty, but one and done. Flan de queso manchego, a little different than regular Cuban flan. Definitely taste the cheese and thicker texture. My wife and I had 2 sangrias $9 each. Nice pour, fruit on the bottom, very nice. My brother in law had the burger that he said was good. Only served with house made chips.

There were very few tables occupied and only one person at the bar. My usual spot was available, so I sat at the bar without hesitation. Greta welcomed me and handed me a menu. I noticed they have a new menu with a very nice design. As usual, they also offer daily specials. To my disappointment, when I tried to order one of the specials the Branzino Mediterraneo & Risotto Greta told me it had already run out. I ended up ordering the Steamed Mussels instead. For my drink, I was undecided between wine or beer, and she recommended the Inedit Damm. The beer was very good you could clearly taste many of the ingredients. The mussels arrived with bread and butter, plus some tasty house made potato chips on the side. The texture and overall flavor were phenomenal you could see and taste the pieces of pancetta and the thin slices of garlic. I ended up using a spoon to enjoy every bit of the broth and ingredients. I also noticed that both the bar and tables have purse hooks, which is a very practical and thoughtful detail. I finished with a glass of white wine and headed home until next time.

With the big tree, lights hanging, it was a whole vine...ha ha get it. It was a Tuesday evening and they had $35 bottomless. Good decision. We decided to save the bottomless for the following week and decided on a refreshing Rosé, made our own charcuterie board, and went with the ph so popular cesar fries....get this and you're welcome it advance. As we eaited the music played everything from old school hip hop, R& B, to classic French tunes, it was wonderful. The selection of wines was actually surprising and ask all the questions you want, they know what their selling here. When deciding on the charcuterie upgrade to make sure you get the extras, trust me so worth it. It was such a wonderful adulting time. So glad a place like this exists closer. Its all fabulous here. Wine it up!

We came in and immediately someone came over and was eager to walk us through the process and made a handful of recommendations especially when it came to the wine. The gentleman whose name I didn't get unfortunately, was extremely kind and helpful, the service here was amazing and we ended up loving the wine he recommended us. The food was also great we ordered the Caesar Fries, the Magie Plate which came with the bread, strawberry spread and some olives and pickles for the meats, we also got the Hot Dog and everything we had was really good. The ambiance is very nice it's a cozy little hole in the wall that you would definitely miss driving by it. Outside patio area had a lot of seating and as well as couches. Everything was great and I am now hooked on a wine thanks to the recommendation by the team here!

First, the outdoor setting is just so magical; you really don't feel like you're so close to downtown/Brickell and are, instead, tucked into a little oasis. My husband and I cam for a date night and split a bottle of wine - which you can pick out from their selection inside. Then, we opted for the happy hour charcuterie plate, which was made up of daily selection of meat and cheese - everything was delicious. They also have other food options, as well as pizza. It was a rather relaxed experience and I would definitely recommend for a city escape moment or date night.

The tropical vibe wraps around you and suddenly it feels less like a night out and more like a mini escape to paradise. Justina's warm, thoughtful service made everything feel even more special. And on a packed night -- with a lively Survivor watch party in full swing -- the owner, Lester, still made time to personally stop by and make sure we were well taken care of. That kind of attention says everything. The customized charcuterie boards, carefully selected bottled wines, and delicious brick oven pizzas were perfect for sharing -- simple, flavorful, and exactly what you want for a relaxed, memorable evening. We left already looking forward to coming back.

No where on the reviews or website says for Saturday night there is a $10 cover charge and $50 min for food or drinks per person. Now, not everyone drinks or is hungry at this time.

The food was good, but way overpriced for Cuban food. Between 2 appetizers, 1 entree and 4 drinks it came out to $200+. These are south beach prices for a hidden location next to the airport. The service was probably the biggest downside. I got there 10 minutes before the rest of the party and the waiters had their back to me the entire time. No one came to offer water or anything to drink until I had to physically get up and flag someone down. They also charge a cover fee per person on the final check and don't mention it anywhere beforehand. We ordered a cocktail at first and the waitress told us we could add a double shot to it called "ya tu sabe". Turns out the shots were just separate. They don't go with any cocktail as it's it's own concoction. Would've been nice to have that explained prior to ordering. All in all it's a fun time if you're down to pay south beach prices for a local restaurant.

I do like that the menu pays a tribute to Miami as a city with most plates and drinks being named cities, famous sayings, or cliche words. The food itself was okay. It tasted good but nothing out of this world. I did enjoy the bacon wrapped maduros and found them to be different and something I had never tasted before. The drinks were super strong and delicious. I ordered the Hialeah Gardens and found it to be yummy. We did not really order main plates but shared appetizers. We did order the arroz con huevo frito and found it to be yummy but again something that I could easily recreate at home. The plates were not anything that made you say WOW. If I were to rate this place on ambiance alone I would give it 4 stars. The restaurant is well designed and has neon signs with very famous sayings. Great photo spots! The customer service is great. We went on Friday night and they even had a live band playing Latin music which made it super fun. We were even dancing!

Service was attentive and warm throughout, though there was a fairly long wait between the second course and dessert. To start, the tuna tartare was outstanding, full of flavor and beautifully prepared. My friend's calamari with risotto was excellent as well. The salmon, unfortunately, fell a bit flat and lacked seasoning. The fries, on the other hand, were a highlight crisp, super fresh, and thoroughly delicious. For dessert, I ordered the panna cotta, which in texture and presentation was closer to a mousse than a traditional panna cotta, but honestly, it didn't matter. Whether you call it a panna cotta or a mousse, the flavor was incredible and the texture was lovely, finished with a bright, tangy mango topping that tied it all together. One tip! the restaurant runs quite cold, so dress warmly if you're planning to visit. Overall, a lovely spot.

A true Spanish "restaurant" ambiance where even the servers were Spanish with whom you could talk about the old country. What a disappointment it was to see the place has transformed into a night club with Latin America music (with extensive profanity) so loud we couldn't even have a conversation or understand what the servers were saying. The menu changed for the worse, two of plates we wanted have been removed although they still show in the menu. Also remarkable the service was below pedestrian. Servers vaping and smoking hukka (not sure if spelled correctly) while serving. Maybe it is the ownership is aiming to a different audience, and as good capitalist, I wish them much success. However, those who like me used to love the old Xixon should know is gone. It is just not for me, my family and at least those accompanying us tonight. So long!
