Great empanadas, Cuban sandwich, and coffee! If you are ever in Little Havana please stop here! Loved the service too! I wish I could remember the host’s name because he was fabulous!

If you’re craving good, authentic Cuban food, you have to come here. Their Montecristo sandwich is amazing and their seafood platter is unreal. Their fried plantains and yucca is also mmm mmm good. Also, try their Cuban coffee. Will definitely be back.

A gentle, relaxing ambience provided to the enjoyment of the dining experience. I had visited El Cristo a few times in the 1980's during my high school years and was intrigued that they had moved to their present location several years ago. I was really pleased with my visit. Me and my lady had the chicken steak with the black beans and rice & the Vaca Frita with moros and yucca respectively. Both dishes were presented well and were truly quite tasty and delicious. The basket of "pancitos" as an appetizer always reminds me of the Miami of yesterday so I consider that a big plus.Elisabeth our server was polite, friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed our dinner and look forward to returning to El Cristo!

We had cafe con Leche, the El Cristo sandwich and a pork sandwich. Delicious, huge sandwiches, comes with Hickory stick type 'fries'. Tip is included on your bill! Kind of pricey, but so filling and good!

We came here on a whim during the Calle Ocho Festival and it was OK.The calamares empanizados were very chewy, would not recommend. However, the bistec de pollo was delicious. Well marinated and juicy chicken with a side of rice and beans. Service was a bit slow, and 18% gratuity automatically included.

Great Cuban restaurant on Calle Ocho in Miami FL. The parking is a little tricky, but this place is in the middle of all the action on Calle Ocho. Close to cigar shops and souvenirs. The food is incredible!!! I strongly recommend this place.

Habanero trio was delicious! Skirt steak was tender with a wonderful cilantro dressing. Shrimp was excellent! Beef empanada was REALLY tasty. We ate outside which was pleasant except the music was a little loud. Veronica was friendly and attentive, kept our water glasses full. Highly recommend.

a bit disappointing, the food was good but my waitress told me my meal came with a beer and asked me what I wanted. When the bill came, she charged me for it and then refused to take it off. Poor

Great taste of Cuban food! The menu had a decent selection of delicious meals… prices a bit steep but it’s little Havana. Also an 18% tip was included in the bill by default. Nice to have the option to sit in or outside- plenty of open seats when we were there around 5:30pm. A great spot in little Havana for some authentic Cuban eats!
