    We don't normally go to this neighborhood but we're glad that we did. Not only the food was very good but the live band was very entertaining. We started with the Shrimp Totones, Lobster Croquetas, and Burrata Salad. Everything was so tasty. The tostones were loaded with plump shrimps. The croquetas had a nice crunch. And the burrata was fresh. For the main course, we shared the Pork Ossubusco and Primavera Branzino plus we added the Grilled Octopus. The pork was fall off the bone. Super tender and juicy. The fish was moist and flaky and the skin was crispy. The octopus was a little overcooked but still very tasty, especially the charred skin. We also tried some of the signature cocktails. The presentation will blow you away. This is the perfect place for a celebration. The band will keep you dancing your seat while eating delicious Cuban food. Also, there's plenty of parking.

    Finally it has opened and I had to go of course to see my art work being featured! I am so thrilled and honored to be a part of the decor at this new Cuban restaurant that we have all been anticipating. Should anyone want to commissiom me for art work, I am on insta sarahplasenciaart. In the meantime go and check out Daisy the Miami lakes cow! Today I went for lunch. It did not disappoint The service was great and we saw some staff that we knew who were there from the closed down Latin cafe. The food was authentic, yet with a modern twist. The ambiance was fun and we enjoyed the music choices. We will definitely be back to sampleor.food, and of course some cocktails. I also want to go when they have love music.

    So I've heard mixed reviews about this place but finally gave it a chance. My first time there, I ordered the ropa vieja (one of my go-to's at any cuban spot). flavor was there and price was cheaper than the surrounding ares, so win/win. Second time around, I went for their lunch special since it sounded like another great deal. we ordered the palomilla steak, ropa vieja (again) and the fish fillet. the food was alright overall. I felt like I could taste the oil they used to cook the food with, especially the steak. it was obviously a great deal but the flavor's gotta match. we were also the only people there, so it's kind of impossible to mess up on the food. I'm not sure if I see it lasting, even if they have new ownership. it's kind of odd to be the only table at a restaurant, which is what I had heard about before. the spot does have a lot of potential to be great and give life to the plaza. they play live music on the weekends and the aesthetics are very picturesque.

    We went for lunch and right when they opened, so this review will be much different than anyone who went in the evening for the music, etc. I liked the place in general, decor was cute and staff was super friendly. Food was good! Love the mix of options instead of only traditional cuban food. They offer risotto, guacamole and other items that aren't "traditional" but are definitely very popular. We really have no complaints and plan to return in the evening one day for drinks and music.

    Back in NYC, but missing the excellent meals I had in Florida. One excellent dinner we had was at Cafe Mi Vitrola which served up authentic Cuban cuisine. Here's what we ordered: ~La Bemba Colora tequila, habanero spicy, mango, agave syrup, tahini, lime juice ~Lobster yuca basket crispy yuca baskets filled with lobster meat, avocado and spicy mayo This appetizer was so delicious and the yuca was super crispy! ~Loaded tostones- toston cups filled with camarones enchilados This appetizer was hearty and filling. ~Grilled Churrasco grilled skirt steak served with parsley mashed potatoes The steak was SO JUICY and was a generous portion. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you order this! ~Levanta muertos delicious seafood soup made with seafood medley and seafood broth The broth was so flavorful and it had a really good amount of seafood in it. I'd definitely order this fresh soup again. You can tell it was made with love! ~Flan-the perfect way to end our Cuban meal! This was a delicious meal and they had amazing entertainment! We absolutely loved the traditional performance. Highly recommend this awesome spot!

    Always a great time. Love the decor and authenticity this place has while also giving a new take on creative drinks and traditional dishes! Live music on weekends!

    From the same proprietors of Dr. Limón, comes this Cuban themed restaurant. It does make you feel like you've stepped into a local joint in Havana. They even have live entertainment. I had the mar y Tierra di Vitrola. The risotto was sublimely creamy and very tasty. The shrimp were cooked to perfection along with the red sauce included. I cleaned my plate. The skirt steak was cooked to my desired medium rare. With that said, the steak was a little under seasoned. I think it would have been better with the red sauce mixed with it instead of just the shrimp. My dining companions had different menu items and they were all extremely pleased. The mojito I had was the best mojito I've ever had. I could taste the alcohol and the lime juice equally. It had the right balance. Our server was very pleasant and attentive to our needs. All in all, a great dining experience. One thing to keep in mind is that it is pricey. My entree was $35 and the mojito $14.

    Café Mi Vitrola is worth a try! We enjoyed ourselves as we went to celebrate Mother's Day early on a Saturday for lunch. We went right as they opened. The location is in a prime shopping plaza in Miami Lakes. The service was fast, but we were also the first ones there. The food was the usual Cuban food. Some items on the menu were slightly different, but it was typical Cuban flavors and combinations. The decorations inside were nice to look at. And if you go on their website, it shows they have themed live music on certain days of the week, which I don't see often enough. That's a nice change.

    Let's start off by mentioning Leo, our waiter, the most personable delightful and attentive young man who didn't skip a beat and made experience 10/10. The joint is super instagramable with picture worthy corners just about everywhere and at night they do have a band playing live Latin music so food for thought. Let's talk about what my friends and I ordered... Lobster and cod fish croquettes: I'd give these a 3/5 because I've had better elsewhere even with the included sauces but they weren't bad and portions are generous. Vaca frita sliders: this was a disappointment for us because even though the tostones were crunchy and the shredded beef was cooked to perfection and tender it felt short on flavor, it was bland unfortunately. I did mention it to Leo because it was the only item we felt needs work. Maybe a little more mojo or seasoning could change it for the better. 2/5 Oxtail Risotto: this was the star of the show...perfectly cooked cheesy risotto topped with the most decadent flavorful tender oxtail with meat falling off the bone. Recommend this 5/5. Arroz empaellado: basically a paella, this was also a successfully executed and delicious dish. Fresh seafood, tasty perfectly cooked rice and rich in flavor with a side of sweet fried plantains...yum 5/5 The food is a bit overpriced for Cuban food in Miami Lakes with an automatic 18% charge which is ok but it is mostly delicious and presentation on both, food and drinks, is 5/5. Service is top tier and ambiance is fun and playful.

    Food is amazing but overpriced for mothers day .The service is really bad..our server looks lost like he was new or he didn't know anything about serving. Ambiance is good but music is too high for a restaurant..you can even hear the people is with you..

    Lobster croquetas
    Sabrina S.

    Great authentic Cuban restaurant with great live old school Cuban music on Friday nights. Food: Lobster croquetas- a must! Yuca bites- delicious Mar y tierra Vitrola-very good! Beverages: Lychee martini- perfect El Muletaso....it's like a guava version of Moscow Mule (has Guava, ginger beer, lime juice, vodka)- spicy & sweet -loved it!!!

    This is a great place , great food , friendly staff, really good ambiance ! The menu offers a variety of my favorites . I really recommend this place and give it a thumbs up!

    Finally tried out this new addition to the Miami Lakes area as the curiosity was killing me. I was pleasantly surprised overall. The decorations and art strewn about the place is very Cuban as well as the music playing throughout. Went there for lunch so the place was lacking ambiance but I'm told by my server/bartender Laura that it's a party at night with the live entertainment. Laura was a sweetheart and she clued me in on several "hit" dishes and drinks. I ordered the ham croquetas which left a bit to be desired. You get 5 golf ball sized croquetas with a pineapple based dipping sauce which I felt didn't pair well at all. I also ordered the Vaca Frita lunch special which come siete two sides for $13.99. Well worth it as the portion was plentiful for a lunch portion. Overall I was pleased and look forward to going in Tuesday night where they have their "Spanish" theme with singers and flamenco dancers.

I was especially excited because during Christmas time it was decorated as a Grinch-themed bar, which was super cute and festive. The drinks were very pretty and well-presented, but flavor-wise they just didn't really do it for me. The music also kind of threw me off -- it was much more vulgar than I expected, which I know fits a younger Miami vibe, but it felt like a bit much for my taste and didn't match the holiday theme I was excited for. The bartender seemed a little uninterested, and I wasn't a fan of the cocktails being pre-made, which took away from the experience for me. Overall, I love the idea and creativity behind the space, but it just didn't fully land for me. Glad I tried it, just not somewhere I'd rush back to.

    I went to the Bend at 2 AM on Saturday the 24th. I used to come here all the time pre-covid (7-10…read moretimes). I got checked by the security guard at the front and he seemed very nice. I proceeded to walk inside and I found a seat at the bar and I sat there. There were some people in there and I definitely wouldn't say it was dead, but it also wasn't crazy busy. There was three people working one lady with red shorts and curly hair another lady with blue pants and straight hair and then a short guy. I later seen a taller guy as I was leaving, he was not involved in my experience. The lady with the straight hair and the guy were on the side I was on they kept walking past and at no point seeing if I wanted anything, I know some bars you have to get the bartenders attention instead of them checking what you want so after 8minutes, I attempted to get the female's attention a few times for a few minutes and it did not work (she did serve other people during that time and was having conversation with ppl). Eventually, the lady with curly hair came to my side to make someone on her side's drink. I asked if I could order a drink and she motioned to give her a minute. She went back to her side, made the person's drink, then took some new orders from people and made their drinks and served beers.I waited over 6 minutes. Eventually she came to the side I was on and took the order of the person sitting directly to my right, completely ignoring me. At which point I concluded I was not going to get any service in this establishment and decided to leave after a total of 17 minutes of sitting at the bar and being completely ignored. I try to self reflect and think if I did something to warrant this treatment but I couldn't think of anything. The only thing that makes me feel slightly better is there was a guy sitting to my left that had a cup already and he kept trying to get her attention and she seemed to be avoiding him. I'm not sure if everyone was avoiding him for some reason and I was just unlucky for sitting next to him. I hated the feeling that this experience left me with and I hope no one else has this experience. The DJ was pretty good, even playing a few minutes of Reggae which surprised me. I ended up going to the Seminole Classic Casino and got service as soon as I sat down. The DJ was playing R&B and I ended up tipping him he was so good.

    The Bend was my go-to spot throughout my mid-to-late twenties, and I still love coming back. The…read morebartenders are incredibly sweet, the vibes are always right, and karaoke nights are an absolute blast.there's nothing like singing your lungs out with a room full of strangers.

    Casual Friday destress from the work week spot. Good news…read more... a new menu is out... that includes my favorite chicken quesadillas. I also saw a yummy pretzel dish. They update the menu often . ( good thing is that u might catch your fav or bad thing your fav is taken off the menu.) I personally can't wait till they bring back the flatbreads. The zingers are offered in different styles. So u can't go wrong. Now they offer half size nachos so it's perfect to share for 2. The prices are affordable for a laid back appetite and urge for a cold glass of wine or drink. They do offer Pinot Grigio (my fav) and Chardonnay ( my mom's) . They offer 6 and 9 ounces. Guess my choice! Yes 9 ounce... lol I believe Ive tasted their mojito and it was yummy! The desert Captain Jack is amazing! I've gone just for desert!!! I always add Carmel on the side. The service is also on point. The Miami Lakes location offers indoor and outdoor sitting. Also both indoor and outdoor has a bar you can sit at. Fridays you normally see the regulars. The waiters become friendly as they see your week to week. The outside sitting area has a juke box to choose music from. Oh! They now have a Football season specials that include some drinks! If you're looking for a casual, comfort food and some drinks... I say this is a good spot!
