Cuban Restaurants near North Bay Village, FL

“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!!“

“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.“

“Super petit restaurant à Little havana. Vous pouvez commander viande, poisson… et manger dans une superbe ambiance. La serveuse Liudmila est très sympathique et vous conseille . Nous avons pris un plat de poisson . Vous mangerez dans une ambiance musicale cubaine . Demandez à manger à la terrasse c’est plus sympa et moins bruyant que le bar“

“What a wonderful experience - highly recommend sitting at the bar, the staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Big shout out to our server Israel. Some of the best cocktails I've ever had, and not super pricey considering the quality and service. Tried several small plates and everything was excellent. Lively atmosphere as well.“

“Went to this restaurant about two weeks ago and I must say I thought the food was fantastic and full of flavour! The chicken and black beans especially were lovely. I also received good service from Johana, who was very friendly and also gave me a good cocktail recommendation! I'm definitely coming here again.“

The tables are a bit small since they are only made for 3 people, but other than that a good place located in Little Havana.Parking: The parking lot was very full, it took us a long time waiting for another car to come out so we could park.“

“My brother-in-law is a chef and he wanted to try this place out. We wanted the Cuban experience and taste that traditions. Food did not let down... it was superb. Service and atmosphere is everything you expect from a Cuban Havana vibe. My family ordered the Cubano sandwich and calamari. Fry's game with a nice Chipotle sauce and the cubanos came with perfectly toasted bread. Service was great, we couldn't have a asked for a better downtown Miami Cuban experience. Gisela was our server!“

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!!“

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!“

“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.“

“La Cañita located in Bayside Marketplace is an amazing place. With a wonderful view of the sea, I was able to enjoy a delicious dinner as well as excellent service provided by the waiter who served me. Finally, the band of musicians makes that place magical.“

“I had the opportunity to visit this wonderful place located on the emblematic Ocean Dr. Street. My husband and I arrived for something very quiet, without any desire to drink, and we were greeted at the table by a girl with a wonderful smile. Gabi explained the menu to us and why. The restaurant was called Havana 1957, this girl captivated and made the experience unique and special. 100% recommended The Super pineapple mojito and the super special Cuban Combo.“

“Wow! What a wonderful place to visit in Miami. I saw the owner, Mika, on a few cooking shows and had to go to her restaurant after seeing how good her food was! I was not disappointed either, the food was delicious, atmosphere was wonderful, and the staff was super nice. I would recommend checking this place out if you ever get the chance because the food will make your taste buds and your tummy happy. I'd recommend the appetizer sampler and the Vaca frita sandwich. Both were amazing! I will be visiting this place when I come back to Miami, and hopefully Mika will be there so I can tell her personally how great her recipes are!“

“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 is amazing! Wonderful entertainment and the food is superb. Think Chinese/asian meets Cuban. We had The papas bravas, crispy gyozas and Octopus (btw the octopus was OUT OF THIS WORLD - think egg foo young from a Chinese restaurant, but octopus - this dish was by far my favorite and blew me away from a creativity standpoint)For main, I had the Sea Bass, perfectly cooked and the avocado poblano puree was such a nice touch. My husband had the seafood fried rice and it too was amazing!My only critique is that the wait staff is spread a little thin and so service is not as attentive as I think it should be for the prices you are paying, but this is a unique and amazing experience, we will definitely be back“

“What a pleasure it was to visit this must-visit gem in little Havana! I had some of the best drinks I’ve ever had here and they have the best cocktails in Miami!Ordered the world famous ball and chain mojito, call me a cooler, and the passion Fountaine.Topped it off with their delicious guava empanadas.Enjoyed these drinks and treats while a live and engaging band was performing in the background as well.The space is huge and filled with history and culture. Love the outdoor space on the back especially the grand stage.The whole place had a fun and friendly vibe and the service was great and thoughtful.“

“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!“

“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.“

“They may not need another positive review, but here it is: if you want authentic Cuban food with waiters who will also most likely have an authentic thick accent and who may even help you discipline your malcreado child isn't polite then eat here. My 88 year-old Cuban American mother approves.“

“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.“

“I am very surprised with the taste of the food, the portions, the ambience of the restaurant!!!! It's much better than a restaurant that has a lot of fame!! And I'm not going to say the name!!! The restaurant is very nice, I recommend it 100%!!!!“

“It was my first time in Sergio Coral way , I was attended by a very nice person name Gloria Cardonas. I ordered a delicious steak call churrasco and she made a great mexican Margarita for me and my friend. Gloria did a great service and a positive recommendation for my main desh and drinks.The manager on duty name Jorge Luis came to me to asking how was everything in my table. Very politevery respectful person. Was a nice experience. My *****“

“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.“

“No frills Cuban restaurant with walk up window for take out orders! Food was good portion inexpensive but a little bland which could probably of been corrected with salt and pepper but I got take out and forgot to ask for it! Mainly Spanish is spoken here with some broken EnglishParking is plentiful - lots of other Cuban Restaurants in this area! Would go again and just request more spices on my meal !Parking: In a strip mall easy parking!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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 .
