    Stopped by Sazon in North Miami Beach straight from the airport to grab an iced coffee and an…read moreempanada de carne while watching my friend play beach volleyball. It's a simple, casual spot with outdoor seating, which I loved because you can sit and people-watch as everyone walks back and forth from the beach. I didn't see iced coffee on the menu, but they were nice enough to make one for me anyway! Nice people, chill atmosphere, and a good little spot to grab a coffee and snack near the beach.

    Sazon is quite possibly my favorite Cuban restaurant in Miami Beach…read more Our concerige at the St. Regis recommended this spot to us for lunch. We came in on a Friday and it was pretty busy but no wait and we got seated right away. Although the restaurant is casual it is super cute. It is very spacious and has a beautiful bar. It is great for small or large groups. And even great to go by yourself or with children. Once seated we were greeted with their nice waitress who answered all our questions and gave great recommendations. I love that there was a wide variety on the menu for food and drinks. And they had lunch specials and weekly deals. We shared their strong cuban coffee since we knew it was super strong. It was so delicious and perfect sweetness. To start, we went with their beef potato balls, and recommended empanadas de ropa vieja. Each came with two. The beef potato balls were huge and came out with a red sauce. It was fried perfectly and had lots of flavor. The empanadas though were my favorite. The crispy outer empanadas were divine. The shredded beef inside was so flavorful and moist and went well with their yummy green sauce. We loved the sauce so much we asked for more with our meal. For lunch, I had the beef skewers. It came with a side which I got black beans and it also came with some yummy plantains. The two skewers were super filling, cooked just right, and juicy. The person I came with got their cubano sandwich, which I believe is a must if you want a sandwich. It was filled with goodness, large portion, and came with fried plantain chips. Yum! Pricing is affordable. Service was excellent. The wait to get our check took awhile but we had to wait for our driver anyway. I can't wait to visit Miami again to come back here.

    This is, without a doubt, one of the worst restaurants I have ever visited…read more From the moment my wife and I walked in at 4:00 PM, the experience was disappointing. The restaurant was practically empty, which should have been the first warning sign. We started by ordering drinks. The menu listed more than five beers, yet they only had two available because, according to them, their freezer was broken. Fine, things happen. We then ordered a Moscow Mule, only to be told they couldn't make it because they aren't a full bar. Understandable. Next, we asked for an Aperol Spritz. They didn't have that either. Finally, hoping they could at least make a simple mojito, we ordered one--only to be told they didn't have mint leaves. At that point, it was almost laughable. Then the food arrived. They served old bread that wasn't even warm. We ordered two appetizers: the garlic shrimp, which was just average, and the tuna tiradito. The tuna tiradito was easily the worst I've ever had. The presentation was terrible. The tuna looked like it had been cut with a dull rock instead of a sharp knife. The sauce was supposed to have fresh lemon and truffle oil, but it tasted like bottled fake lemon juice with some strange black paste dumped on top. It was completely unappetizing. (I'll attach a photo so you can judge for yourself.) The most frustrating part came when the waitress asked if everything was okay. We politely explained our concerns, including all the issues with the drinks and the food. Instead of apologizing or trying to make things right, she argued with us and became defensive. Customer service is about solving problems, not debating with your guests. Overall, this was an awful dining experience from beginning to end. I genuinely don't understand how this restaurant has a 4.8-star rating with over a thousand reviews because it certainly didn't reflect the experience we had. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Save your money and go somewhere that actually cares about the quality of its food and service.

    In Miami Beach, a trip isn't complete without a piping hot Cuban meal!…read more Palomilla Steak This is it on the oval plate! It's a classic Cuban thinly sliced ​​steak, marinated in a special mojo sauce and seared to perfection. The generous topping of roasted onions is the soul of the dish; be sure to eat it with the steak--the savory, tender flavor is incredibly satisfying! Seafood Lobster This steaming hot dish is a seafood feast! Its vibrant color is immediately appealing. It's packed with ingredients: large shrimp, sweet clams, and plump mussels. The rice absorbs the seafood's umami flavor, turning an enticing golden color. Before eating, remember to squeeze on the caramelized roasted lemon juice; the lemon's tang instantly elevates the dish's freshness, making every bite a taste of the island!

    Good for cuban food but takes advantage of being in a tourist trap area. Overpriced automatically…read morecharges 20% gratuity and all the available surcharges legally possible. Service is ok waitress was friendly but doing their job for the company to max out their profits. Ambiance is what you expect of all the south beach locations seemingly an extension of Havana if you been there. I would rank as 4 stars for the food but downgrade because they added a lot of random stuff to the menu just to get those who dont know real cuban food to eat there such as burgers and pasta lol. It would get 5 stars if they were authentic trying to offer strictly cuban only and reasonably priced. Because they take advantage of tourist and are here just for the money I lowered it to 3.

    Ordered Uber eats so I can't speak to the dine in experience…read more Ordered chicken soup-it was salty noodles and broth-no chicken, no vegetables. In the pictures there are both and it was 9$ for basically canned soup. Tasted awful. Ordered spinach croquettes. They were tiny but delicious, well prepared and worth it. Ordered Moro rice-inedible. Dry. Dry. Dry. And the only flavor was salt. Not sure why they would send the last bit of rice from the pot that sat out all day, but that is what I got. Ordered vegetables-the picture is broccoli, cauliflower and carrots in garlic sauce. I got a few pieces of iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, onions and some cucumbers. That pissed me off since it was not at all what I ordered. Maybe I ordered the wrong things, because the review here are pretty positive. Tried to call the restaurant to see why they didn't include the actual vegetables and decided a salad was a good substitute. No answer. So I won't be eating from here again. Disappointed.

Wanted a Cubano sandwich immediately upon arrival, so we came straight to Havana 1957. This spot has been recreating 1950s Havana since 2010, right down to the vintage memorabilia and the whole "Un Dia En La Habana" concept, and it's since grown into a small chain across Miami and even Vegas. The Ocean Drive location does it right: great service, very friendly and fast, food that was amazing across the board. Loved my first taste of a traditional, genuine Cuban sandwich, ham, roast pork, Swiss, pickles, mustard, all pressed together and served with a mountain of shoestring fries, as close to the source as I could ask for stateside. Ordered a rum and coke and they hand it to you in a genuinely giant glass, perfect for getting the party started, even though it was a random Monday afternoon. Vibes and atmosphere were immaculate the whole visit. Great first stop in Miami, and a great way to kick off the week that followed.
