This was pretty mediocre, especially compared to the other food I've had in Miami so far. I didn't get anything complicated: Caesar salad, croquettes, rice and beans. The Caesar salad was about the same as a bagged salad, so not impressive. The croquettes were just ok...they had a sweet flavor that I can't put my finger on that I didn't like. Maybe the ham? At any rate, I didn't finish them. And actually as I type this, I'm still waiting for my check. When I called another server over, he ignored me. I finished eating 30 minutes ago. My server is nowhere in sight ‍ Update: there's my server and here's my check. I waited about 40 min total for it. Let's end this on a positive note: the girl who stands out front greeting people was a doll. Very friendly, playful personality. read more

If you want a reprieve from the Miami heat, come in and enjoy some cocktails and delicious Cuban food. Our server gave great recommendations - definitely get both the tres leches and flan - guarantee you've never had them like these. The Cuban sampler seemed a little overpriced for the amount of food, but everything in it was delicious. The color scheme and decor were a pretty sage and pink. read more

Me and my friend was looking for a place to watch the superbowl and all the sports bar was packed and we came across this place. They had a good setup outside with big screen tvs but it was a little chilly so we chose to sit inside. They also had a big screen set up and we had good seats. They also had a good superbowl special menu and we ordered cocktails which was huge for a medium and super strong. Then we shared a burger special. I got seafood soup and my friend got calamari. Everything was delicious. The place was fun and our waiter was a cutie and so sweet and attentive. The table next to us got a whole fried red snapper and I'm going to try that next time bc it looked delicious and he confirmed it was. Oh and the place was pink decor it was cute and so girly but not overly done. Definitely recommend a cool spot on Ocean Dr. read more

Call Me Cuban is a cute, Miami Beach-style spot with outdoor seating shared with a hotel. There is some indoor seating, but it seems to be part of the hotel's bar area. The atmosphere is nice, with a live music stage on the patio, though there wasn't any music playing when we visited. The location definitely gives off a vibey, beachside feel. Service was fast, and so was the food. However, the meal itself was just okay--not very flavorful and not particularly authentic. I ordered the lomo saltado, requesting medium rare, but it came out well done. The meat was dry and tough to chew. The sauce was too salty, which helped balance out the bland rice, but the beans were also underwhelming. Like most places in Miami, there's an automatic 20% tip added to the bill, and prices are on the higher side. But given the beachfront location and touristy setting, that's expected. The restaurant doesn't overpromise, and for what it is--a convenient, casual spot in a prime location--it does the job. read more

Call Me Cuban - Burrito - Cuban Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Came on a weekday morning and ordered the Burrito cubano and Cuban Criollo. Restaurant was pretty empty and we were immediately seated. Ambiance: 4.5/5 Beautiful scenery overlooking the beach area. Service: 2/5 While the waitress was friendly and helpful, the food took an incredibly long time to come out despite the restaurant not being packed. It took 49 minutes between when we placed our order and when our food arrived. Food: 4/5 This place seemed very promising because of the ambiance and views but the long wait for our food was very disappointing. read more

Wow! This was one of the best restaurants we have tried on South Beach. The food was so good. I had chicken tacos and cheese croquettes and loved them both. My husband had the pork asado and he raved about it. This is located outside the Cordozo hotel which also has a very chic bar and restaurant inside. The service was good also. read more

CARDOZO HOTEL RESTAURANT ON MIAMI BEACH STRIP. As with many of the historic Art Decco hotels in Miami Beach this restaurant has taken over what used to be the main hotel lobby. The main desk is now a bar and the lounge are is the bulk of seating. The best place to sit though is out front as the entrance facade is shaded by canopy's covering the chairs and tables. We stopped here to order something for breakfast and chose to split a Cubano Breakfast Burrito. Featuring a mixture of pork, rice spaces and a fried egg. It came with a delicious aioli and a little fresh salsa. We also ordered an iced coffee which came with milk in it and a Mojito. Which in Miami comes with a long shared slice of sugarcane core which looks like another straw at first glance. I really enjoyed the burrito but my wife thought it was so so. We both agreed the Mojito was really good. The service was another thing. Although the waiter wS polite, you see he was a little frazzled. The wait staff are forced to bus thier own tables and there were only 2 of them. So it was decidedly understaffed. I will have to deduct one star. Cheers. read more

We were walking down ocean drive and saw this place with a lovely outdoor seating area. We sat down and had a delicious meal- both our breakfasts really hit the spot and were unique! The service could have been a bit better considering we were one of the only tables sitting. But all-in-all this was a solid spot and I would recommend if you are looking for a good breakfast! read more

My husband and I had the best time at this place! We stopped by for bottomless mimosas and the service was great. We never had to ask for a refill and even though we never ordered food, we were never made to feel pressure. Joanna was the sweetest and seemed genuinely excited to serve us. The ambiance is so chic and there is a bakery attached to the building for a sweet snack afterwards. The music they played during the day was so fun and they have live music at night. 10/10 -highly recommend! read more

We come by here every year. When we first came here a few years ago, the food was delicious and not overpriced But now it seems like the menu changes and it's really overpriced. The food now is ok. Not like it was before. The service is always really nice. The reason for the low stars is because they put the gratuity on the check even for two people, and they add a beach resort tax on there when you're not even staying near them or at their hotel and the pricing is out of control now read more

My friends and I decided to check out Call Me Cuban at the Cardozo Hotel in South Beach, Miami after a nice lunch at Gianni's Restaurant (formerly the Versace Mansion). We opted for the El Daiquiri. It was delicious and refreshing. The service was good. The atmosphere was fantastic, especially with the Air & Sea Show happening nearby. It was the ideal spot for some prime people-watching while enjoying our drinks. Overall, Call Me Cuban provided a great "passing by" experience. read more

When visiting Miami, you hope the food is over the top. When going to a high tourist area such as Miami Beach, the food, ambiance, atmosphere, and experience better have that wow factor that will impress you from start to finish. After walking up and down South Beach all afternoon, my lady and I finally agreed to dine at "Call Me Cuban". Located at 1300 Ocean Drive in the heart of Miami Beach, this place is tucked right next to the Cardozo Hotel and adjacent to 13th St. As with all businesses in this area, parking is virtually nonexistent so it is best to arrive here by foot or rideshare. Or if you're fortunate enough, there are several hotels in close proximity to this place. Even though they've only been opened since 2021, the high amount of positive Yelp reviews made this place a must-try for my lady and I. We arrived during the afternoon of Sunday 3/17/2024 at around 3:35pm in which would be a late-lunch/early-dinner. Since it was a beautiful warm 84°F day, we opted to sit outside where you can get a full view of the park and beach only a couple hundred feet away. If you do plan on dining inside, this place has a dazzling interior including a pink neon sign that reads "Miami Made me do it!", a hot pink piano, colorful lighting, and comfy snakeskin lounge chairs. The entire representation of Cuba is apparent here as everything is presented quite beautifully. Best of all, this place has very generous hours of operation being open Monday-Friday from 9am-11pm and Saturday-Sunday from 9am-12am. This includes several rotating menus including Brunch, Happy Hour, Cocktails, and standard food menu. Since I was starving, I decided on ordering an appetizer of their "Tostones" (crispy fried plantains). My main entrée was their "Vaca Frita" which consisted of caramelized crust angus beef topped with onions, Mojo, Moro, and Maduro. My lady went with their "Guacamole A La Cubana" as her appetizer of choice. This used fresh avocados, jalapeño pico de gallo, and crispy Malanga chips. She opted for their "Pollo Cuban Tacos" which use lemongrass chicken, coriander, and cilantro topped with roasted pineapples, pico de gallo, and guacamole cream. Finally, we opted for a bucket of iced cold Coronas; only $20 for four! Not a bad deal considering you're at the heart of South Beach. As far as my angus beef, it was seasoned and cooked to perfection as the meat was very tender while I could taste the authentic Cuban seasonings. My plantains were also quite delicious as they gave me four very generous pieces that were caramelized to perfection. And the crispy Tostones had an excellent crispiness when dipped in the dressing. Even the Cuban rice w/black beans tasted delicious. I also had a couple bites of her taco and the chicken tasted moist and above average. Our waitress was very friendly and accommodating as she always made sure we were being taken care of. I will say that I was somewhat quite hesitant eating a big meal at South Beach since prices tend to be significantly higher than other parts of Miami. But this place was actually reasonably priced as we were able to stay full throughout the rest of the afternoon. All in all, I am going to give "Call Me Cuban" a perfect and unanimous five-star Yelp review. Excellent food, service, ambiance, and a great overall experience! read more

Deceptive. Unscrupulous. Sneaky, Underhanded. These are a few words that come to mind when the bill was presented to me. Cocktail advertised for $15 became $30. 20% tip automatically added and then the waiter has the nerve to ask for another tip just for himself, as he says the 20% tip is shared with other staff. And I'm certainly not the first person to complain about this practice. And hey, I'm from NY City and I've never had this experience in a restaurant. Shame on the owners of this place for not addressing this dishonest policy. read more

Was walking around Miami Beach and smelled some delicious Cuban food so I decided to come in. I sat outside, it is a very casual environment and a lot of foot traffic happening around you outside. The service was amazing, everyone was very nice, speedy and attentive and gave good menu recommendations. The pina colada was delicious I really enjoyed it. As for the food, I did not feel the same especially for the price. The entire food pictured came out to $82. (Automatic 20% included) The guacamole was nothing to write home about, but the malanga chips were a very nice touch I appreciated. The vaca frita was so oily, as well as the maduros from being in the greasy skillet. I thought the rice was pretty dry as well. Overall a bit disappointed in what I ate, although I do think the atmosphere and the pina colada was very good. I think if the value matched the quality of food I would give this place one more star, but I just don't think it warrants 3 stars! read more

Food was great! Service was awesome! Thank you Joanna she was very fast and friendly. Drinks were good.

Second time eating here and was as good as the first. Both times we've come for dinner and the ambiance is as good as it gets on Ocean drive. It seems they have live music most if not all of the nights which adds to the experience. The drinks are large and they don't short you on the alcohol either. Food is flavorful with good portions. So far this ranks high amongst the Cuban places I have tried in Miami. read more
