Cuban Restaurants near Aventura, FL

“I was amazed by how good they cook meat. It was our first time. It wasn't too busy at that moment, but our server never did proper service. Like we asked him to bring more Napkins or another drink or side plates or bottle of water. And he never did it, so basically, he took an order and brought the check (i dont care if some of the duties belong to runner or busser, i pay to server). Of course service is all dependent on the moment and server, so for now 3* for that. Will go there more times and do some updates.“

“I decided to take a leisurely stroll from the Marriott to satisfy my craving for Cuban coffee, and boy, was it worth the walk! Although it turned out to be a bit farther than I anticipated, the moment I took my first sip of that rich, aromatic Cuban coffee, any fatigue vanished.The coffee was exceptionally good, with a strong and robust flavor that truly hit the spot. And let's not forget pulled chicken, rice, and black beans were simply amazing, bursting with authentic flavors. Julia the server was so good at explaining and so relatable!!!The temptation to have a second cup of that heavenly coffee was almost too strong to resist! Overall, I'm thrilled to have stumbled upon this gem of a cafe. If you're in the mood for authentic Cuban coffee and delectable food, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!“

“Super good service in this restaurant. They invited me to a birthday shot and the waiters who served me (Tina and Yail) were very nice and super attentive all the time. The food here is very delicious and the place is very beautiful. I highly recommend it!“

“The food here is excellent and not expensive considering that it's in Miami Beach. The garlic shrimp are jumbo and delicious. They serve a lot of food too. There is a patio area in the back with a bar and it's decorated very nice. I have been here multiple times and will continue coming back. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Amazing gem in the area! Only tried the chicken sandwich and chicken soup so far but look forward to going back to try more.Mirna is super friendly and welcoming. Def love the vibes. The food was so good I forgot to take a picture. Nice portions.Thank you!“

“Couple of Canadians in the area on our way back home tomorrow. Wanted to try some Cuban food and we weren't disappointed. The plantain chips and black bean salsa was a great starter. Our mains were very tasty as well. The service was amazing and the check was reasonable. If ever in the area again, we will be back!“

“From my recent visit to Hollywood, I found a gem of a dining spot - Padrino’s. Visiting not once, but twice, I was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional quality of the food, coupled with incredibly reasonable prices. The experience was seamless, even when accommodating a large group of 21, showcasing their exemplary service. The staff managed everything flawlessly, including the usually daunting task of splitting the check 21 ways.The mango Caesar salad adorned with perfectly cooked shrimp is a must try. Having ordered this dish twice, I can vouch for both its consistency and quality. The ropa vieja, served in just the right portion size, was bursting with flavor, beautifully complemented with my choice of sides that included soft, buttery yucca and flawlessly cooked sweet plantains.Dessert was no less spectacular, with the flan standing out as a true showstopper. Its texture was impeccably smooth, the flavor beautifully balanced and not overly sweet, topped with a divinely bittersweet caramel.For anyone in Hollywood looking for a meal that promises to be both a delight to the palate and gentle on the wallet, Padrino’s is the place to go. Their ability to handle large groups with ease, consistency in food quality, and outstanding service truly sets them apart.“

“"Attention vegans: Look no further! This spot offers not just vegan options, but an entire vegan breakfast that left me impressed. Hard to say what was better—the delicious food or the fantastic service from the owner. An amazing place that I highly recommend!“

“So good have a Cuban place close to home thanks the coffee so great recommendation I believe enhancing the restaurant's decor could create a more inviting and pleasant dining atmosphere. Investing in some decorative details could make a significant difference in the overall dining experience and attract more customers."“

“Maruchi Restaurant boasts the warmest and most accommodating staff in Miami. Tucked away as a hidden gem, it's worth seeking out. The food arrives promptly and is of excellent quality.Their breakfast menu offers a well-balanced array of options. The cleanliness of the location is impeccable, with a dedication to hygiene evident even in individually sealed utensils. Overall, it's a must-visit spot for its welcoming atmosphere and serene ambiance.“

“Fun!! We visited on a complete whim Friday evening and we so surprised. The happy hour goes until 8!!! $3 tacos and $6 margaritas. It was so good we ended up ordering a second round of food and drinks. I think I had the best tostones of my life while we were there. I can’t get over it. Highest recommendation.“

“Excellent food, the Little Havana steak was incredible. I ordered the steak medium rare and it came out cooked perfectly which is not common at some places for a thinner cut like this. Got the fried pork belly pieces as well and they were very very good, fatty and tender.“

“I have visited many restaurants of all kinds, but none like this one. They have the best service there. The girls who wait on the tables are very sweet and make you feel at home or better. Casa Marin is pure quality. I recommend them 100%. Keep in that way!!!“

“This is a sweet family owned business that we stumbled on in the neighborhood we were staying in while on vacation. We had breakfast here every day for three days! The owners are lovely, warm and hospitable people. The food and cafecitos are delicious and kept us coming back for more.It's right across from the post office and they definitely have a steady stream of regular customers and it's not hard to figure out why ?We had the pan de bono, croquetas, and empanadas de pollo plus cortaditos. So do yourself a favor... If you're in the area, RUN, don't walk to El Cafecito and get some of their delicious food. You won't regret it ?“

“We had amazing food here.By the looks of this restaurant from outside, we were reluctant to go in but we had incredible food here.Churrasco was cooked to perfection for all orders: medium and medium well.I usually don’t eat the rice but we all finished our rice and side beans.Tostones and fried yuka was freshly cooked and crispy.All 3 of us finished everything on our plates and it was well worth the calories.We also had fresh orange juice. My only regret is not to order the homemade dessert.The owner Alex is also the cook and his food is the best Cuban food I’ve had in Miami. I can’t wait to try other stuff in his menu.“

“One of the Best if not THE BEST in authentic Cuban Food. Family owned restaurant since the 80's serving Great tasting food with huge portions at a great price. From their signature churrasco steak to their home made desserts, Highly recommend this resturaunt serving Breakfast ,Lunch, and Dinner!!“

“The food was great but the Birra Taco's were tiny. For the price you pay, regular size tacos would be appropriate. The service was amazing and the did was good. I'd give them another try, but I'd stay away from the tiny taco's.“

“The service is quick and the people are warm and welcoming. My husband tried a Cubano sandwich and fell in love with the bread (Cuban toast) and flavors. Compared to another local Cuban joint, this is the favorite for us. From the tamed tartness of the pickles to the savory flavor of the ham and crisp yet softness of the bread, this Cubano was fantastic. I enjoyed their breakfast, my favorite part was the pecan waffle! The kitchen prepared it just right using plenty of small diced bits of pecan and mixing it with larger chunks. Just the right texture plus it was nice and crisp. The prices were a little higher than I prefer but for the area, we spent less in this place than any other restaurant. The orange juice was phenomenal by the way, fresh squeezed and worth every penny. Lastly, and the main reason we had to hit this place up twice during our 3 day stay, the cafe Cubano was perfectly brewed. There was a nice balance of coffee, cream, and sugar, with no bitterness. I’m not even a coffee drinker but I definitely enjoyed this cup ‘o Joe! The only downside is parking, good luck during peak hours which are most the time.“

“The REAL DEAL !!!Great Cuban food !!! 24 hrs!!!!Affordable!!!!Unlike many places who claim to have the best, this place is!!!The Churrasco steak is awesome!!!You get actual sliced pork in your Cuban sandwiches!!! Along with the potato sticks...The Red Snapper.... OMG !!!!Chicken Empanadas!!!!You MUST visit this place for a real taste of Miami!!!“

“This small family owned and operated restaurant cafeteria establishment provides; an amazing excellent flavor for food . It's the warmth of what one would expect in Grandma's home cooked meals. A little piece of old Cuban tradition.Of course you always will find a friendly welcoming smile from your host TICO. The guy holds true meaning to his heritage and roots. Making sure you feel at home.Thank you TICO. Keep up the great work man!Parking: This business is at the North West corner of the intersection. You will find parking right in front of the establishment. It's small but one can always find a space .“

“Very good food very fresh very tasty very friendly atmosphere very good service and the people there cook very excellent for what they charge and other places that is not even as good as them I will recommend coming to these people to eat there once you try the food two or three times you never want to leave that place you always want to keep coming back the service is very excellent and as far as the price goes it's very fair“

“This place is a gem. I always feel at home when I come here. It’s a small place. A little hole in the wall. The staff is so sweet and kind. They treat you with kindness. The vibes are always right here. Thank you girls. I will keep coming here and enjoy the food and atmosphere.“

“One of the nicest places to eat in Miami. Nothing fancy but good flavor & generous portions at a very humble price.We found it as our hotel was close by.Nice meats, grilled to perfection accompanied with choice of 2 sides. Service is super friendly.It was so good we had dinner the night before & came back for lunch the next day.We will be back for sure ??????. Big thank you to Latin Cafe for making our stay in Miami memorable“

“It is a cozy place, its workers showed interest in ensuring that we had a good time as a family despite visiting the place for the first time; The food was well prepared and well presented, the professional service was immediate. Thank you for everyone's attention, they were very kind, and I loved the music, I danced until I was tired Hahaha. I will visit it again. Thank you“

“I am Cuban and have been going here for years. This is your go to for the best Cuban bakery and pastries in broward county. The owner is a really good person. Family oriented and good service. No one can compete with the quality. It’s popular so go early before items sell out. I highly recommend you stop by if your in the area.“

“Excellent service, the special spaghetti is my favorite, it has everything fresh and well prepared and an incredible flavor, the combination of the cheese, the bechamel sauce gives it a unique consistency, and what they put inside is also delicious, the pizzas are exquisite, with the burnt edge I am impressed by the variety of pizzas they have and the bacon one, they put the strips of bacon on the pizza, not the almost ground chopped bacon that they put in other pizzerias, here you see the bacon but it doesn't look burnt, it looks nice and tastes delicious. The shakes are very delicious, the malt ice cream is like drinking malt with condensed milk, I highly recommend this place.“

“I loved dining inside Las Vegas. Our server Jorge was attentive and friendly. The quality of all the food was excellent, and there is a great happy hour menu of appetizers and drinks 4-7pm every day. This is a new favorite spot. I will be back with family and friends.“

“Food was amazing! Pork was tasty and skin cracking. Presentation was a true masterpiece.. better than the pic in their website! If you are thinking about catering your Cuban party.. don’t hesitate to go with Victoria’s catering! Best price, professional service and delicious food!“

“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!!“

“The food was great. Would've given it 5 stars if the bistec empanizado was a little thicker. Carne asada, yuca, and congri were delicious! The server was by herself, but she did a good job taking orders and running the food. Will be coming back to try more food from the menu.“

“This little hole in the wall restaurant. Is a staple of this area in North end of Miami beachbin theb71st street area! Food is has been great since I was a child ! I've been eating this food since I could remember! It has changed owners but they have stayed true to the food for the community . 5 stars from me the service is great the ladies that work the bar make you feel at home ! Always smiling & greeting as you go into and leave the place ! I love this place I'll suggest this place to anyone curious on trying some good cuban food at not souch a high price either very reasonable. Check this place out if you ever come to Miami beach ! ⛱️“

“The place is good, not an elite one, but it is ok.They sell a lot, but not with quality.I ordered a TOASTED "crunchy" ham pizza - NOT THE FIRST TIME - I received bread with ham and cheese, almost raw, and when I folded it to eat, the ham and cheese came out and I was left with the bread in my hand.As there is a lot of demand - almost all of them are very young - they give the same time to the pizzas, to continue processing (baking) orders, and selling and SELLING...“

“Excellent restaurant to taste a varied menu made up mainly of creams, pizzas and pastas as well as exquisite drinks of which I recommend their fruit smoothies. The atmosphere of the place is cozy with excellent cleanliness. The waitresses make you feel very comfortable, Miss Meliza was charming in her treatment of my entire family. I will definitely return to this restaurant, which I rate 5 stars.“

“I get what everyone says about the food.Caffe con leche love it! the steak sandwich really fulfilled my appetite. The service was welcoming , the only thing was they brought the check while the place was empty it kinda made me feel like I was kicked out of the place. I don't think I will ever go back.thats just my personal feelings about it.“

“I order dinner to go and everything came out fast. I had 2 orders of the fried pork with Moro rice. The pork was juicy and tasty. The Moro rice was pretty flavorful and I enjoyed it. One of my orders had sweet plantain and the other boil yucca. Both sides were delicious and cooked perfectly. I also order some fried chicken Chicharron. The pieces are made from chicken breast and it was flavorful but super dried. Overall i would try again.“

“Very good food and great relaxing atmosphere. I had an amazing chicken soup and the grilled chicken and hubby had the marinated pork which was so soft. The portions are also big. Waitresses are so nice and friendly. I would always come back if I would be in the area. Lovely!“

“First time at this place; the restaurant was clean, the food was outstanding, and the waiter (Brandon) was very attentive. Then again, there were only two or three other tables seated. Awkward ambiance for the first five+/- minutes because there was no music playing and the TVs were off. Finally, the music came on and the dining experience improved ten-fold. Meanwhile, the TVs were never turned on. Not a big deal, in fact... might even be cool to have a place with no TVs, where people are forced to interact with one another. But I digress, if you choose to have televisions in your establishment, keep them on; there's a lot you can do with them, not just have it on TV programming. Anyways, this place is absolutely fantastic and has the potential to be one of the area's best restaurants. I'll definitely be back!“

“Hello,Recently i visited Las Vegas Restaurant in the Hallandale area and my server was Eblys, i had a very simple meal because it was late at night..The food and the service that this gentleman provided was very good!He was extremely attentive and polite and very cordial.The salsa music was great as well!Will be returning! Oh and ask for Eblys, you wont regret it!!Dietary restrictions: Such a variety on the menu, you will have many different options!!Parking: Lots of parking!!“

“03/17/24 We went for late lunch at Don Pepe's restaurant and oh boy I'm so glad we did, the food was delicious, and the right size portions.

“Love at first bite! Louie’s version of the pan con bistec is excellent. The empanadas are on point. The smash burger is quite possibly the best in Miami. Truffle fries are a must. John the bartender is that cousin from New York you didn’t know you had! This spot is a Must-go no need to dress up but do come hungry !“

“This is one of the few places left that take you back to the good all days. You walk in here and feel the great Cuban vibes , full of culture and traditions. Croquettes where absolutely amazing ?. Black beans and congri where a complete disappointment, even more after trying the croquettes that set my expectations high. For me if a Cuban restaurant can’t get black beans right is a no. Carne asada wasn’t that good either. I may try different locations of these Restaurants since i really enjoyed the ambiance. Piña colada was on point. I couldn’t try the coffee ☕️ because it was late and they were about to close, ill be back for thatKid-friendliness: NoWheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“So far the best Cafe con Leche in the area! It is a small place with a large delicious Latin menu ! The chicken soup it's yummy. The service is a typical Latin happy friendly fast service !!! ? Stop by to eat and drink a little piece of happiness!“

“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.“

“Erlinda in amazing! I came to Miami for one week, and this is the first Cuban spot we tried. I love her cortaditos and guava pastelitos! She's so so sweet and generous. It's super clean and well taken care of. This quickly became one of my favorite parts of Miami. Can't wait to come back!“
