Bella Cuba Restaurant

Oxtail was so good, we came back another time before leaving Miami. The drinks were also very good.🍹

Sooooo so good. Started with the shrimp and calamari and moved on to their Cuban salad. The entrees, the oxtails and red snapper, were incredible. The food was well-timed and we never felt rushed. Would I dine here again? DEFINITELY!

Fantastic waiter Manny great food and service . Had the Caribbean lamp chips fantastic and friends had oxtail stew, chicken & suckling pig all delicious . The fried Yuka was incredible

We made reservations for 6:30 and glad we did. We wanted to have dinner before a show at the Filmore. The location is perfect for this. The service was excellent. Our waiter explained the menu and made recommendations. The food was great. They have a standard menu plus a long list of specials. The value is also very good. We will go back.

First time there. Went with friends from CA. Food was authentic. Portions were large. Appetizer sampler was wonderful. Waiter was very good and knowledgeable.

We wanted a nice dinner that reflected the Miami vibe and wasn't too crowded or needed us to get too dressed up. We loved it! My friend had the oxtail soup, and I had a classic Cubano, absolutely delicious. 

This is a warm, friendly local neighborhood restaurant ( no pretensions) conveniently located across the street from the New Symphony Center. The service was excellent and the ambiance very pleasant “Old Cuba.” The simple fish dishes and the desserts were excellent . The appetizer sampler and the oxtail dish were a little disappointing - but still be far better than the average Cuban restaurant in the area. Bella Cuba is certainly worth a try.

Manny was so accommodating and welcomed us warmly with introductions to specials on the menu with a sense of humor that we enjoyed! It was our favorite food during our whole week in Miami Beach!

We loved the food the stake was fantastic also the fries were something new and really cool. 10/10 recommendation.

The meal was fine until we got the bill. The bill included 3% for credit card usage and an 18% service charge. I understand the 3% but it was added automatically and we were never asked how we wanted to pay. What really irritated me was the 18% service charge. This was never mentioned and the customer bill we had to sign had a line for a tip, suggesting 18%,20% or 22%. Unless you really checked you bill, I can easily see people paying the S/C and a tip. This was deceiving and I would never go back or recommend the place.

The waiter manny was awesome and attentive. Very detailed and not annoying. Ox tail stew was incredible. All the sides were top notch. You will leave full, I promise.

This is my first time in Miami and I wanted to try some really good Cuban food. My friend and I decided to catch the trolley to Lincoln street and search from there. Welp, we googled restaurants in the area and Bella Cuba came up. It had a good rating so we went and I am so glad we did. When we entered a couple had just ended their meal and we were the only people there. Manny greeted us warmly and gave us a run down of the menu. We ordered Beef and Chicken empanadas to start and ordered the Rabo Encendido (Oxtail stew) with maduros and yellow rice and the Midnight sandwich to share. When I tell you the food was phenomenal, I tell no lies. This meal was fantastic. All the dishes were full of flavor with every bite from start to finish. The empanadas were light, crispy and delicious. The oxtails blew me away. They were fall off the bone tender, and the stew over the yellow rice was simply heaven. The maduros were cooked to perfection. You can tell there is pride in these dishes. As we were enjoying our meal the restaurant quickly filled up and I understand why. If you are in Miami you should not leave without trying this restaurant!
