“Love this place especially on my way to work where I can grab a colada or cortadito and run! It's a mom and pop small cafeteria that have breakfast and lunch, and it's always packed and flowing. The people that run it are attentive and fast. The space is super small but they do have some high tops seating area if you want to sit and eat your food. Love that North Bay Village has a place like this.“
“Not sure what's up with all the hate on this spot. For non Spanish speaking people (I'm not fluent, but am fluent enough to communicate), I can see things potentially being difficult. However, the service I received was amazing and the restaurant was doing EVERYTHING above and beyond in terms of COVID protocol. I went with the #19 (name escapes my mind). It was medium steak, grilled veggies, french fries, rice, and black beans. I added a ton of the vast array of hot sauces. The meaI was downright outstanding. The citrus fIavors and combination of meat/veggies were to die for. Take out onIy spot that is known for their breakfast, too! DefiniteIy wiII be returning next time I am in Miami.“
“Our first time to Miami and Little Havana, decided to stop here and it's such a cute place to visit, hv food and drinks.....had live music, staff very friendly and helped explain the menu if needed.....Cuban sandwich n sweet plantains were on point and OMG the Coconut mojito was a perfect addition to a hot day!!! The Cuban coffee was also great compared to the "Tampa" ones I've tried it was smooth and not bitter.....Def a need to stop if in the area“
“From the moment you enter Café La Trova, you are surrounded by a vibrant atmosphere that promises an exceptional night. The staff welcomes you with a warmth that makes you feel at home. But what really stands out are their mojitos: a perfect mix of quality rum, freshness of mint, sweetness of sugar and just the right touch of lemon. Each sip is a trip to Havana without leaving the city. Without a doubt, Café La Trova is a hidden treasure that offers a sensory experience that will leave you wanting to come back for more.“
“Dining at Marabu Restaurant transforms an ordinary evening into an extraordinary culinary journey, especially when served by Geraldine B. From the moment we were seated, Geraldine's attentive and warm service made us feel not just welcomed but truly special. Her knowledge of the menu was impeccable, guiding us through an array of exquisite dishes with recommendations tailored to our tastes and dietary preferences.The ambiance of Marabu, with its elegant decor and soft lighting, was elevated by Geraldine's professionalism and genuine care. She anticipated our needs without intrusiveness, ensuring our glasses were always full and our table perfectly arranged. Each course was served with a brief but fascinating description of its ingredients and preparation, showcasing Geraldine's passion for the culinary arts and her desire to enrich our dining experience.What set Geraldine apart was her ability to connect on a personal level, sharing stories behind the dishes that made our meal feel like a cultural expedition. Her recommendations were spot-on, from the succulent main courses to the decadent desserts, each bite was a testament to Marabu's culinary excellence and Geraldine's skill in enhancing the dining experience.In an era where genuine hospitality can sometimes feel forgotten, Geraldine B at Marabu Restaurant reminds us of its value and impact. It wasn't just a meal; it was an unforgettable experience that we will cherish and recommend to others. Thanks to Geraldine's exceptional service, Marabu stands out as not just a restaurant but a destination for those seeking culinary delight paired with warmth and professionalism.“
“The star of the visit was obviously the food. The sandwiches were outstanding. The hype was strong and I was worried that there would be a let down. Worry not, if you enjoy a good cubano or just a sandwich fan, Sanguich is a required stop in Miami. Besides the cubano, the pan con lechon was also outstanding.Cafecito did not disappoint. Service was also great for how busy they were.The only downside to Sanguich is their location. Limited parking in front of the restaurant and the restaurant itself is tiny. Rent would be more, but they really should expand to a bigger location to be able to serve more diners quicker.“
“Was here last week, and guys you should go at least to try the most delicious Daiquiri in the whole Florida! We was sitting at the bar and bartender named Nickolay was or friend for this moment. He was take care of us, prepared amazing drinks and imma tell you that I never tried anything similar, also Gin Tonic was fantastic! Seriously, now I have my best place to go for a drink?Run, don’t walk, and don’t forget to ask especially Nickolay, cause he is a pro! Highly recommended 10 out of 10!“
“We decided to come to this place randomly and it did not disappoint. Marian was our servers, she was very attentive and sweet. I definitely recommend the paella ! We got the the big size, they say it’s for 3 people but I think it could feed more.“

“Incredibly amazing little gem in the heart! of Little Havana. Everything was great from start to finish, and our server, Ruben was super attentive and friendly. All the appetizers were super tasty and fresh. Super cute decor and casual vibes. Will definitely be back!“
“Before heading to the Marlins game, we had plans to dine at the restaurant. Unfortunately, many others had the same idea, and the wait time was about an hour. So, we decided to try the bakery instead. After waiting in line for about 15 minutes, we got our food and found a table to sit down and enjoy our meal. It was excellent in every aspect. The pastries filled with cheese or meats were perfectly flaky and delicious. Additionally, their espresso with cream on top was superb and reasonably priced at $4.50, which we purchased separately while waiting in line. In total, we got 7 additional items for a total of $22. It was unbeatable in terms of value, fillingness, and taste.“
“MAKE SURE you ask for AUSTIN to serve you!!! He made the experience 10/10 more than it already was. Food was delicious, fresh and quick. We had the vaca frita tostones, crispy tuna, and pork belly, all a must try. The Lis cocktail was a spicy margarita perfection, and the mule was also great. Live Spanish music , people getting up to dance, the restaurant itself is also so aesthetically pleasing. Easy parking. Must try for a date night, we’ll be back!“
“Kuba kitchen it’s a great place in which you can spend a wonderful time in family to laugh or enjoy delicious food in a comfortable and warm space. I do recommend it. Excellent customer services. For me and my family was a 5 start experience ! 5 ⭐️!“
“Just landed to Miami and had to check this place out. Place is huge great to bring the entire family, if you want to sit on the benches they are also available with quick service for both. The entire staff here were super friendly. I enjoyed my cafe con leche and tostada so much. The orange juice was delicious. If you live near by you have to check this place out. If you're visiting this just be your 1st place to come. The prices here are great.“
“If you’re going to get Cuban food in Miami, this is where you need to go. Not only does the food absolutely slap (and there are a lot more vegetarian options than other Cuban places) but our server Manny made us feel like we were old friends; he gave us his honest opinions, great recommendations, and we’ve even got some new inside jokes.Vegetarian options: Tostones. Love!!“
“We came to this place on the recommendation of a person who works on the Royal Caribbean cruise ship named Adelaida of Peruvian origin.We tried the trilogy of ceviches, all delicious, the one we liked the most is the one with the winning or traditional sauce, so much so that we visited said restaurant twice.The service was excellent, Luciana and Daniela assisted us on the first day and Daniela on the second day, very attentive and professional, luxurious attention.We were fortunate to meet Mr. Mauricio who told us about the preparation and preparation of ceviches.“
“I've visited La Cañita with my teenagers after a busy day in Miami.Henry our server was so kind and relaxed that the rush of the whole day disappeared.He had time to listen to our questions regarding our food sensitivities,he was not rushing us although the place was busy we felt relaxed and at ease.The food was absolutely great!We ordered 4 different main dishes and the flavours,the presentation was just excellent!We loved the place,the atmosphere and our service!Thank you Henry and Team!Dietary restrictions: We asked the waiter to accomodate our need to eat dairy and gluten free and they made adjustments accordingly which was highly appreciated.“
“It is my husband and I's first time in Miami and we were on the hunt for a Cubano sandwich. I came across this place and it did not disappoint!!!! We got the hot honey Cubano and it was so good! The service was excellent too, really friendly staff.“
“They have a very complete American breakfast buffet, with excellent service. Luis is very kind.It is very well located on Ocean Dr in front of the famous clock where you like to take photos.The atmosphere at night is very good and the music is the best.Highly recommended“
“Breakfast and lunch. The food was delicious, the ambience was cozy and service excellent. My party of 3 all agreed the music was too loud. We asked for it to be lowered a bit and they complied. A happy customer always returns. Looking forward to the next brunch.“
“This place it is fairly new and maybe will survive their first year in business. The place is beautiful. We got a reservation for a Saturday night for out big group a few hours prior, thats why i said that i hope this business survive. Now they should be take care of their customers a little better specially the bartender. My friends got there early and they got charged $250 for two doubles of Macallan 15 years . My dear Owner the whole bottle cost $170!!!!! In the liquor store!! At least have the courtesy to let your customer knows! There is nothing that i hate the most see a list of drinks with no prices!! The food is good but not great and the portions are definitely small foe the prices!!! Our server was great he was always was on top of what we want. He honestly earn his tip!! But even our server knew!!! 22% tip is going to be included in the bill!! When we were paying he make sure that we knew that!! Afloja!!!!!“
“The frita a caballo I had here was one of the best sandwiches I have ever tried in my life. The amount of flavor they were able to achieve was incredible! I had the pleasure of meeting the owners and they took the time to explain everything to me and provided me great, reccomendations, This is a must visit for anyone who likes sandwiches!“
“The food and drinks for the most part were good but obviously the live entertainment and vibes were what made it. The host was friendly but the servers were a bit inattentive and they were hard to grab their attention. They also never checked in on us. We had two servers, one at our table inside and one outside. They also charge 7% service charge on top of the automatic 18% tip here - which other Miami restaurants don’t do (they just charge 20% automatically). I would come back just for the live entertainment and the outdoor seating in the back. We smoked our cigars there and it was a beautiful setting.“

The service from our waiters Jorgito and Alejandro was incredible, the dancer Alfredo got us on our feet and moving, and the musicians were EXCELLENT! The food was delicious. The best traditional lechon I have ever had. It was an unforgettable evening. Highly recommend.“
“The restaurant still looks the same. Could use some updates. The servers were all friendly. The food was out pretty quickly. Some of the food is alittle over priced especially for the time of the day. The restaurant should have better peocing for lunch specials.“
“We came here last minute on a Friday night. Not busy at all, and the plantain chips and Guac were absolutely fantastic and better than any “starter” Guac and chips I’ve ever had. Then my entree was a pork and a stack taco. The pork was fine BUT THE STEAK TACO. ? Honestly, quite possibly the best taco I’ve ever had. The aioli was exquisite, the steak was tender. I don’t write many reviews, but when food knocks my socks off, I do. And this did.“
“Special attention from the owner and chef of the restaurant, a very kind person, who cooks giving options to your liking, excellent Italian and Cuban food!Vegetarian options: The chef gives you optionsParking: Parking in a small shopping center, you can choose the ones that are availableKid-friendliness: Yes, a child seat and special attention and a healthy menu.

“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.“
“Very good treatment, speed and excellent food, the girls are truly excellent, they are friendly and always willing to help and provide excellent customer service. They are the best impression of your restaurant and the customer is congratulated for having workers like this, especially Iris and Lizbeth are always friendly with a big smile that makes us feel very good.“
“Very large portions (includes nearly a loaf of bread lol), could possibly share and the price was super cheap for Miami! Only like $22 for 2 breakfasts :)) Great little quick spot to stop at. Lots of drink options too if wanted. Was busy so maybe that’s why it was a bit long to get our food. Has some spots to eat inside but not a lot.“
“A must when visiting Little Habana. The food is incredibly tasty, prepared with a lot of detail, it's hard to manage a huge amount. Excellent staff. Live music in the restaurant. My family was just as impressed, because very rarely do you get incredible prices like they do here. I think we experienced this for the first time in Miami. I would give 10 stars if I could.“
“Ordered the Cubana Especial(Large cuban sandwich). It was delicious. Flavors were flavoring. Serving sizes were great. Half of the sandwich down the hatch and I knew I should have saved the last half for when I got home. I opted to eat the whole sandwich and it made for a sleepy 1 hour drive home. It hit the spot. $11.33 and it’s the best thing i’ve had so far while visiting Florida.“
“Absolutely amazing, flakiest pastries ever! The best guava & cheese pastelitos I have ever tasted! Definitely a must try! Everything in this bakery tastes awesome! The Cuban coffee is so good too! I will be bringing back a lot of goodies with me to Canada. Thank you El Brazo Fuerte for making my vacation complete.“
“We ate here last night and it was the best experience! I cannot recommend the coconut shrimp tacos enough, and the empanadas are the best we’ve had. Our waiter was amazing with our children(one is autistic and they were so accommodating to him) and the aesthetic is incredible! 10/10 will be back next year, as we have decided to make Miami an annual trip now!Kid-friendliness: Amazingly accommodating for autistic kids“
“This restaurant is a must when you're in Miami. It's an experience of its own. The service is friendly and very accommodating. The food is delicious as well and the bakery has every type of traditional baked Cuban food that you would want. Of course the coffee is tasty and strong. I always like to bring my out of town friends to this restaurant and they are always impressed. The ambiance is calm and feels like home. I would recommend this restaurant!“
“Best kept secret in allapattah(neighborhood next to wynwood). I found this place when I first moved into the wynwood area. It’s a little place with everything you need and the prices are the best in the area. The ladies who work here are all really nice and give you great service. The centro American breakfast is my favorite. The place isn’t much to look at but the food is good, the service is great, and the prices are unbeatable.“
“What an amazing place. Servers are very friendly and the food is extremely perfect! The portions, the taste, the atmosphere is just perfect! Highly recommended to anyone that wants to eat some authentic Cuban Cuisine. I’m Puerto Rican and really really enjoyed it!“
“Walking the Miami south beach area looked up playa ...on yelp GB PS sent me down the street...had to check out...stop by while taco hoping..order the 3 tacos with meat and a corona beer shared with wife was very tasty and service was very polite and courteous . Their breakfast menu looks good I want to try..if I get a chance when I am in Miami...and the price is right for area“
“I have a suggestion when visiting this place. Even if you see the parking lot full, inside the line goes fast. The ladies serving are all fast and very nice.The food is DELICIOUS and I would say we'll worth the price. You get good sized portions and there is a great variety.“
“The entire crew is so friendly and go above and beyond for their customers to have a great experience! Barbara always knows how to make an excellent cafe con leche ? CAO is always clean and organized. Thank you for making our local bakery such a pleasure!!“
