Arlen Beach Restaurant

Empanadas were very dry but the salad was fresh. No sauce served with them. Would not return.

After exploring North Beach and searching for Cuban food in the area, we stopped in for a late afternoon lunch. The restaurant is nicely tucked away on the second floor of a well-appointed building and feels comfortable and inviting, with a quiet, homey vibe.
On to the food, the croquetas were delicious, and the guava shake tasted refreshingly homemade. The churrasco (steak) with its lovely sauce, along with the masas de puerco (pork chunks), were very tasty and perfectly seasoned and cooked. The side orders of rice, maduros, and beans were equally satisfying.

Our server was very attentive, and we even received a visit from the owner to make sure everything was going well, which it definitely was. Having access to the beach path after our meal was a beautiful way to end the visit. Thank you!

First time here - with my husband for his birthday morning brunch. We got the oatmeal bowl, manduros, and the American breakfast. Absolutely blown away. Everything was delicious - perfect temperature, amazing flavor.

The most delicious and authentic cuban restaurant in Miami. The beef empanadas, chicharrones and croquettes are a must to try. Great and friendly service and prices are a plus!

Over charged me for 6 chicken wings and a salad. Ended up paying 26 dollars and the chicken wings were dry and flavorless. Then it took them 45 minutes to even remember I placed an order. Never again.

We had lunch at great little Cuban restaurant. To start we had Tostones Rellenos for an appetizer with a La Palma “Cuban Beer” brewed and canned in Nicaragua a Lemoncillo Spritz by the pool in a nearby condo building from our hotel.

Our entrees included Cuban Fried Rice with tons of shrimp and my wife had a Mahi filet.

The service was great and Lytes one of the owners even gave me a Hatuey Cuban beer to try.

We went back two days later and brought several other family members for dinner.

We even had some entertainment watching a big green iguana having his lunch on top of shrub near our table.

The palomilla steak was amazing. And so was the Lamb chops. The home made cookies were delicious as well. Highly recommend it.

I came across Arlen Beach Restaurant looking for breakfast options. I am happy I tried it. The prices are very reasonable for the dishes served. I got the American Breakfast which included home potatoes, toast, scrambled eggs and bacon. Because the weather was nice, I ate on the patio overlooking the pool. From the restaurant, I was able to stroll directly onto the beach.

Great place, great food, great service. A hidden gem, I wish we would have found earlier. Definitely will return for breakfast, lunch & dinner. We’ve loved everything we’ve tried, so far. Looking forward to trying & enjoying the other menu entrees.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Arlen Beach Restaurant, and I can’t recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by Diana and Keilyn, two of the most friendly and professional waitresses. They were attentive, helpful, and truly made us feel at home, offering great suggestions from the menu. The food was absolutely fantastic—the chef at Arlen Beach is a true culinary artist. Every dish was packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. You can really taste the quality of ingredients and the care that goes into each meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant is relaxed yet elegant, making it the perfect place for any occasion. It’s clear that both the front-of-house team and the kitchen staff are dedicated to providing an exceptional dining experience. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, Arlen Beach Restaurant is a must-try for anyone who appreciates great food and outstanding service.

My experience at Arlen Beach Restaurant was extremely disappointing. The quality of the food and the level of hygiene were unacceptable, and the service was very poor. There is absolutely no attention given to customer health or satisfaction. I definitely do not recommend this place.
