The very cozy atmosphere. Sitting on the patio was the best choice ?We will return?THANK YOU SEBASTIÁN, you are doing your job very well ?“

“Super delicious food! The roast chicken is prepared in a way that all the chicken has flavor and is not dry, it was very good. For dessert I recommend the churros with Nutella and arequipe, they were super delicious and Marianny served us very well ✨“

“He stepped into Miami and didn't eat some pastries, a Cuban sandwich with the corresponding Cortadito (coffee) did not come to Miami, what can I tell you, the best Cortadito I have ever had and I tried almost everything in empanadas, pastries and croquettes, perfect for breakfast, the atmosphere with Latin warmth and the super cordial, friendly and happy treatment.My top place in the world!“

“The atmosphere was very awesome the staff is very friendly the performers does an amazing job it keeps you entertained you dance the whole time I sing-along songs this is my second time going and even the first time I had an amazing time this time was even more amazing I recommend everyone that enjoys life to go there with your girlfriends your family I guarantee they will have a very very very good time I had a blast I laughed I danced I sang the whole time I stood up most of the time just a great atmosphere I recommend if I could give them 10 stars I’ll give them 10 stars they deserve it“

“The restaurant decor wonderful.The waitress the best. The food was excellent, fresh, presented tastefully with an orchid. The music was very good, but not for dinner at 8pm, maybe for a club at 12mn. It was so loud we hurried up and ate to get out. The music that loud was a major distraction. It totally ruined the great experience.“

“One of the last places we ate at in Miami. Sat outside with a beautiful view. My Guava Mojito was bomb! The table ordered various food to share. We got the Conch Fritters (my favorite), Smashed Avocado (my second favorite), Spinach Empanadas, Chicken Fricassee Empanadas, and Coconut Shrimp.I highly recommend trying this place out! The selection is very fun!“

“As someone who loves a good food happy hour menu .... This place is LEGIT, but arrive before 5:30 so you can get a mix of the happy hour and regular dinner menus. Order all the happy hour tapas your heart desires. The clams casino were so good I ended up ordering 3 dishes of them for the table. We also had duck tacos, fried calamari, a dozen chef selected oysters and lamb meatballs. Everything was fiiire as someone who doesn't normally eat oysters the Kusshi oysters were flavorful. For dinner we ordered mushroom grouper (highly recommend bc it's not something you see everywhere) and the Thai snapper entree which is ALSO highly recommended. From the regular happy hour menu the baked oysters with chorizo were bangin. Things to stay away from are the happy hour cosmo drink and conch chowder (tasted diet to me but my wife loved it). I recommend parking at the public parking garage attached. There's a $10 flat rate parking fee which is good for Brickell and convenient. Enjoy!! 9.8 out of 10“

“A very pleasant surprise, I entered without knowing that it was vegan but I took the risk and the truth is that the house burger is very good, the fries were just right and the best of all was an unexpected visitor, Will.i.am, a friend of the owners , that doesn't happen every day.“

“A little pricey- about $50pp. This is a plate of food, 2 beers,and a soda for 2 people service charge was also already included. Small tables outside. Very small restaurant inside. May not be able to accommodate large parties. Parking is a HUGE issue and may be expensive after 9pm on the weekends. Staff is helpful and always attentive. Food is authentic and VERY GOOD!“

“Perfection at its best. We loved our experience 10 days ago and returned to try the bar experience because the flavors and people that make el cielo have all been magnificent. Wish you all the best you guys! Look forward to a future tasting again soon!“

“I'm not a big fan of grilled chicken, but the idea of ​​several mojos for the chicken caught my attention. I ordered it with the yellow chili pepper that gives it a Peruvian touch and it was actually quite good. The skin is crispy and the inside is juicy. Good atmosphere and attention. So far the best chicken in Miami.“

“Everything was fine, except that the air conditioning was too low. The food was cold in a couple of minutes, they explain that this way they avoid condensation on the floor due to the difference in temperature between the kitchen and the living room, but I think that such delicious food should not be eaten cold. I hope you find a solution for this.“

“Food was OK. A little too greasy for my like, there is room for improvement. Tostones were quickly brought, half cook. The rest, not bad.Robert, the server, was zero accommodating, i requested for something and he said it was too big, then wanted noodles and he couldnt help me with my order***The rudest thing: as soon as we finished, he told us the total $45 without even letting us swallow the last bit or printing the check.We had to request him to print it and leave the table because we weren’t finished yet.“

“I had an incredible experience at this amazing place! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. Not only is the price reasonable, but the quality of the coffee is also outstanding.“

“It's a family business, serving Cuban food, with a welcoming vibe. The host is warm and kind, she has that abuela energy and we are up for it. She communicated with us in English and explained the menu patiently. She gave us the guava pastry, on the house, it was not on the menu, some of her friends brought it for her and she shared it with us. So nice of her! The food items we tried were tasty and were presented nicely. You should definitely check this place out if you’re around.“

“First of all, service was great in general all staff very attentive, Michael took care of us in the best way possible he even offer us combinations not on the menu excellent service, Gracias. Food you can't go wrong with chaufa I added a Churrasco as a combo for $25 both can't beat that., you can even share if you are not that hungry or if don't eat a lot cause they serve a lot. I'm adding a picture of it and also of the grill octupus + skirt that my wife ate, she ate it all she was shocked about taste and price for such an excellent plate. Atmosphere excellent there was a live singer very good one, plus very funny. Thanks again Michael for such a great service.“

“The food here is amazing! Our new go-to spot. Fresh and so delicious. We always get the Super Picada, Hamburguesa Especial de carne and the Monster. I absolutely love their pan de bonos also. Best around, in my opinion, by far, and I'm picky!“

“I got their carne asada tacos which came with chips (which were perfectly fresh and had the right amount of crunch) salsa and guacamole. And everything was flavorful. I came just before closing and when I thought they wouldn't offer to make anything, they were very kind and said they didn't mind so customer service is 10/10. I would recommend this place to anybody.“

“It is a food truck that has a seating area, where they serve roasted chicken. If you go, make sure to ask for the yucca fries, truly amazing. The chicken is probably one of the juiciest chickens you will ever eat, and the sides are varied And very tasty.If you’re in the mood for fantastic chicken, this is the place“

“Very cozy local spot with amazing servers and wait staff. It is an authentic Latino experience within a city that can be anything but sometimes. Highly recommend an evening here. Thanks to everyone for consistently great experiences.Parking: Small paid parking lot and free parking on some of the surrounding streets.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp leading into the restaurant“

“After having spent a long time without coming... I had left because they had changed management a lot and the food was very bad. Today I gave the place another chance and I was satisfied with the flavor and how well prepared the food was... I hope it continues like this... the pastries 20/20, the arepa 20/20... and the soup ufff... recommended ...thanks to Eiline and Eduardo for their excellent attention.“

“Great fun for kids and good food , but between the entrance, add ons they sell you and food it gets expensive fast ; for example a group of 3 grown ups and 2 kids = $400+ easy , no discounts. If you are on a budget, this is not the place to go every weekend. I'm not putting this place down, just do the math before you go.“

“Peaceful and relaxing spot. The staff was great, especially our bartender Kostas, a real professional with knowledge of how to make perfect cocktails. Also, the food was tasty. The restaurant was clean and bright Will be coming back! Thank you so much Chimba ?“

“First night in Miami from NYC and Laura made sure our trip started off on a fantastic bang. So attentive, amazing recommendations from the menu, and checked in often to make sure we were all set.Food and drinks were amazing, but Laura's service really made the difference. Cant wait to come back next time I'm in Miami!“

“I was looking for a good Peruvian eatery for a while now… I love it here it really reminds me when I would eat chifa in el barrio chino en peru. :) i love the way the soy sauce is flavorful within every dish, especially the may fun singapor noodles (favorite!) workers were nice and friendly, and the ambience itself was beautiful and culturally accurate“

“Discovered this great place for spectacular steak made on grill or wood oven. Was lucky enough to be there today as they roasted beef, ribs, and a lamb over open wood Fire. The chef was all over it, every plate, every meal she had an input on all of it. It’s like every table was treated as a VIP table.“

“Hey there! I just wanted to share my positive experience at Pincho Factory with you. During my recent visit, I was really impressed with the service I received from the lovely woman who took my order. She was so polite and professional, always maintaining a smile throughout the interaction. It really made my day and added to the overall enjoyable dining experience. I just had to pass along my gratitude and appreciation for her excellent customer service. If you're looking for a great dining experience with top-notch service, make sure to check out Pincho Factory!“

“my wife and I were wondering yesterday what to eat differently from the same McDonald's and fast food we eat almost everyday, and this place was perfect. The food is excellent, the service was amazing. Nicol took great care of us and advised us to try a great dish. If you got to this place, you must try el piqueo criollo,we will definitely be back and will recommend this restaurant to our friends and family“

“This is probably one of the best food trucks in all of Miami, and my favorite place in all Wynwood. A hidden gem in my opinion. It specializes in simple, clean & fresh Colombian food. But i think of it more as “gourmet” Latin American. The food is healthy and incredibly fresh (which isn’t always easy to find in Miami). But i think what sets it apart is just how much pride the owner takes in his work. He always goes above and beyond in some small way, such that when you eat the food, you can tell it was made with A LOT of love. The cherry on top is that Gonzo (the owner) is probably one of the kindest human beings I have ever met — it makes frequenting this place an utter joy.“

“We were greeted when we entered and given an overview of how to order and all the menu items. Ordering was very easy, and all items could be customized. We scanned our drink items that we obtained from the adjacent cooler and paid with our mobile device. We found a table and waited for our order to be ready. We ordered the chicken shawarma and short rib pockets with sides of fries. The pockets had so much flavor, and we should have split an order of fries. All the staff were courteous and were busy keeping the tables clean. We will definitely come back if we are in the area.“

“Besides been a little over the top, the food its really good. The milkshakes and the hamburgers are the main attention getter, the rest of the menu holds its own. My brother got the damn hamburger and oreo shake, i had the bandeja paisa and green tea with passion fruit. With tip, it was over 100 dollars but it was decent quality and not something we would eat every day.Parking: Shopping plaza parking lot. Plenty of parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp in parking lot. Plenty of space to get in.“

“The food here was SLAMMMMING! The service was great super friendly and fast! They kept it super nice and clean. Now lets get to the chicken its definitely the best I've ever had, also try the yucca! It's sooo good... I shall be back ASAP like next week...“

“the food was delicious!! the place is small but cozy and clean, the service was very friendly and fairly quick although the food is fresh. there was definitely seasoning and flavor in this food which is sometimes hard to find at mexican restaurants nowadays. will definitely be returning again!“

“My husband and I stopped here for the first time one our way to the airport. The owner is super nice and chatting with us the entire time. We loved it. We also loved the food. We each had a burger and wings. Everything was great.Dietary restrictions: Burgers can be wrapped in lettuce instead of having the bun. I was also told French fries aren't battered.“

“I have been to this place a couple of times and it has already become one of my best places to eat; Being Peruvian I can say that the food has a very similar flavor to what they prepare in Peru, one of the dishes that I have repeated is the ceviche tostones and they are delicious ?? The prices are affordable and the staff is very friendly!“

“The food was delicious, the music was great, and the ambiance romantic. It was a great vibe. Having said that, we were a large party, and if restaurants can’t serve large parties in a timely manner, they should be better prepared. It took TWO HOURS to be served dinner, which is unacceptable.“

“I tried jaguar for the first time last week and it did not disappoint! I think what really did it for me was the service, my server Gabriel, was so attentive/helpful. He told me to try the merken sauce and it was 10/10! Will be returning soon!“

“Since I started eating at Aja, I love that the food is soooo good and the prices are fabulous; It is a family business where they always serve with quality in all their locations, I am always on the street and it is my first option since they are all over Miami. Keep up the good work and don't change. successes.“

“Very good service except for one time when I asked for water on several occasions and they didn't bring it to us. Maybe the lady was learning or I don't know. But hey, just one rotten potato in time doesn't spoil the whole bag.“

“They may not need another positive review, but here it is: if you want authentic Cuban food with waiters who will also most likely have an authentic thick accent and who may even help you discipline your malcreado child isn't polite then eat here. My 88 year-old Cuban American mother approves.“

“Wonderful place, it makes you not miss Peru because the food even surpasses the Peruvian flavor, added to the fact that the attention is very hospitable, familiar. A great experience that will make you want to return.Wonderful restaurant, it makes you not miss Peru because the food even surpasses the Peruvian flavor, coupled with the very hospitable, familiar service. A great experience that will make you want to come back.“

“Absolutely amazing! Traveled from Texas and had the luck of finding this bakery ! Five star! Cubano was amazing! The beef empanada best flavor I have ever had in an empanada! Don’t miss out! Not only good food but the staff was friendly and sweet! Ohh and don’t forget the COFFEE!!! Thank you the big TEXAS family!“

“No frills Cuban restaurant with walk up window for take out orders! Food was good portion inexpensive but a little bland which could probably of been corrected with salt and pepper but I got take out and forgot to ask for it! Mainly Spanish is spoken here with some broken EnglishParking is plentiful - lots of other Cuban Restaurants in this area! Would go again and just request more spices on my meal !Parking: In a strip mall easy parking!“

“I needed a pineapple cake last minute for my husband’s birthday and even though they were not open on Sunday, they made it for me and went to the store on Sunday morning just to deliver it for me. The cake was delicious and everyone love it and asked where I got it. There are not enough words for me to use to recommend their service and their going way above and beyond to take care of their clientele.“

“If you're a fan of croquetas such as myself, "Dos Croquetas" is absolutely a must-try when visiting Miami. Some might ask "what exactly is a croqueta?". In simple terms, they are about the same size of a mozzarella stick, deep fried and usually filled with béchamel sauce, mashed potatoes, cheese, and meat. In fact, the options are endless with thousands of customizable creations. They are a very popular side/appetizer in the Latin culture and are a great quick snack to eat on the go. Located directly on 8th St (Calle Ocho) in between SW 15th & 16th Ave. in the heart of the Little Havana neighborhood of Miami, this place has been dishing out delicious croquetas since early-2024. I came here on a whim (during the afternoon of Sunday 3/17/2024 at 1:30pm) as I was craving a small bite and this place absolutely delivered. As far as the exterior of the building, it was quite easy to find due to the colorful array of forest green with a splash of pink and yellow on the awning. The interior brings that same colorful artwork which truly give this place a Miami vibe. Their menu offers not only Cuban craft croquetas (in 10 different flavors) but also sandwiches, sides, breakfast (served until 4pm), and Dulce dessert bites. They also carry craft shakes to cool you off on the sweltering hot & muggy Florida days. Since this was my first time trying their food and didn't want to go too overboard before dinner, I ordered just (1) of the "305". This croqueta had Cuban-styled picadillo , sweet plantains, and queso blanco with their signature dale sauce. Total price, only $2.20 before tax. Service was quick and my snack was ready in just a couple minutes. As far as the taste, this absolutely hit the spot for me. Crunchy on the outside while warm, cheezy, and savory on the inside, this was absolutely delicious and actually tasted like nothing I've ever tried before. They offer so many other delectable croquetas including "Medianoche" (pork, ham, & swiss), "Mexican Street Corn", "Creamy Spinach", and much more. They have very respectable hours being opened Sunday-Thursday from 10am-10pm and Friday-Saturday from 10am-12am. With the exceptional service, prime location, great atmosphere, and reasonable prices, I am giving the Little Havana "Dos Croquetas" a perfect five stars.“

“The food was good. I ordered cachapa catira. It was tasty. The place is very nice, the service very good. I liked it all. They have breakfast all day, they also sell frozen things. They prepare green juices and also desserts. I recommend it“

“The staff was so nice and attentive. Certainly had a great variety to choose from. My food didn't take long to get served and everything was amazing. No lie a surprise because they had a good amount of customer's this day. Thank you El Bajareque for the little corner of home.“
