    Chicken breast steak with side salad and tostones
    Mary e.

    Cute Cuban restaurant on 8th street. I love the white tablecloth covered tables. The ceiling is hung with burlap bags depicting the Cuban provisinces. Very unique. Service was ok but then we were one table of 3 occupied. The chicken breast steak was tasty but not very tender. Salad on plate was a little wilted and really just a few lettuce leaves and mushy tomatoes. I was expecting a side salad à la Rinconcito Latino. Tostones were very hard to chew. The rabo encendido (the sole purpose of our visit) was quite pricey at $29 for a couple pieces of oxtail with very little sauce. Not the best. I love trying new places which can be hit or miss. Although my meal here was not terrible, nothing inspired me to return,

    Excellent Cuban place with great atmosphere and very friendly and professional service. We all enjoyed the seafood, malanga, chicharrons, steak and chicken. Might be the best Cuban food in town.

    The food is good, and so is the atmosphere and the service, but they need to add a cocktail and liquor menu, as the current one is very short or practically nonexistent. I was looking through the menu to order a drink or a glass of wine, and they didn't have any listed. This is something they should address, especially since they have a bar where they serve very good cocktai

    Chicken Cesar Salad

    Today I went for lunch, I order a Chicken Cesar salad, the chicken was horrible, no taste at all, very disgusting.

    One of the best Cuban restaurants in all of Miami better than Sergio's, la carreta, Versailles, and malanga cafe in Pinecrest. Amazing food and service, friendly staff made me feel welcome, and love the live music

    De todos los restaurantes que e ido pro primera vez a este es donde único no regreso , las mesas súper pequeñas, dos platos llenas las mesas, las bebidas 1 mojito que era mas hielo que nada, el arroz Moro quemado y duro los granos, cojimos un pescado Bolador como plato fuerte, que les digo el plato viene con una langosta entera que parece estar congelada hace semanas no sele siente el savor a marisco, y los filete de pargo vienen sobre el liquido donde lo cosinan que parece como sopa cuando logras llegar a el a y $120 por el plato. Conclusión no lo recomiendo me parece que este lugar sigue por los meseros que son lo mejor . Y una recomendación cuando cojan un plato grande no dejen que el Manager les aga un video para TikTok ya que cuando habla sosteniendo la comide se ve como escupe sin in intención lógicamente pero aun es asqueroso. Nos gastamos $540 y nos quedamos con hambre porque la comida no sirve todo es un show

    Worst Cuban sandwich I ever had. Service was very slow and several tables that were seated after us got their food before us.

    We came here for dinner on our first night in Miami. We made reservations but it said outdoor patio…read morewasn't available. Regardless when we arrived they sat us outside which is exactly what we were hoping for. Our server was nice at first. Explained all the popular dishes got our drinks out very quickly. 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.

I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Little Havana. We started with The Guac, Aji Tuna Poppers, and Avocado Salad. The Tuna Poppers came with 3 spicy tuna crispy rice and were delicious, however the Avocado Salad truly shined. All the ingredients tasted fresh, and the cumin lime vinaigrette was to die for. I would return for this salad alone! I ordered the Charred Salmon as my entree, and it was fantastic. The sweet potato purée paired with the slaw were complimenting sides to the dish. The hit of the table was the Mahi and Coconut Shrimp Cazuela. Lastly, the staff was phenomenal. We had a large party, but everything came out correctly and in a timely manner.

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.
