    Vaca Frita
    John B.

    Good food! I ordered the Vaca Frita and it was delicious. Also ordered a Caesar salad that was ok. I read some reviews saying there was no air conditioning. They had air conditioning on when I was there and it was nice. Very friendly staff. The manager or owner came to check on me as well and you could feel the genuine hospitality when he spoke.

    This waitress was the nicest person I've ever met

    Super friendly staff. Went over backwards to make sure everything was delightful and perfect. Lots of warm smiles happy people. The food was quite delicious with hot and it got to my table quickly. The coffee is fantastic and Cuban bread was something else. I'll give this place a 10 star rating. Come on coffee for $.95 and two americano coffee's for $3.18. This place has the best prices ever. Also we got five scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes, potatoes and Cuban bread for $12.49. I hope this place starts charging more because her not charging enough to stay in this kind of business. They are awesome.

    Tambor- layered with rice, red beans, pork and topped with fufu de platano and red peppers.

    A co-worker brought this to our work for one of our company's luncheon. I along with the rest of the team couldn't stop asking what exactly we were eating as it was dubious. For months after, I kept asking him where did he get it from and what was it called. Well, finally today, before he left on vacation I asked him again and he game the details. I immediately called thinking that this was made on a special order basis and I was surprised that they said that it would only take 30 minutes for me to pick up this delicious concoction. Although, I barely drive to that area of my city, the craving was so bad that I went(alone). The restaurants itself is in a not so nice location, off of flagler street and 72nd street. The staff was friendly and since there were no customers, I didn't have to wait at all. I had order a Tambor for 5 people and it cost $45.00. plus tax. So not too shabby. I hope you get a chance to try it someday, I really like it. My review is solely on my order out experience!

    The sandwich menu
    Kemal K.

    Very cozy place in a small plaza! The sandwich menu includes pan con bistec and medianoche! Plenty of servers were around and seating was adequate! Great for a sandwich for lunch

    Went there at 1130 pm hoping to get some food. Waited 10 mins, and nobody came up to the counter. They had a few peeps enjoying beers while music was blasting. Maybe late nights aren't a good time to go eat there. Next!

The shop is small with only the shared outdoor seating with other nearby restaurants. The Pan Con Bistec was very tasty and I liked the crispy bits inside. The flavor of the sauce could have been more pronounced but otherwise a really good sandwich. The Pan con Lechon was okay overall because it tasted very one note flavor and texture wise. The meat was moist and tender but I preferred the Bistec and the Cubano. They also provided a garlic dipping sauce which was very flavorful. However I felt that it overpowered a lot of the sandwich flavors. I also got the Mamey Batida which was smooth and subtle with its sweetness. My first time having a Batida and I really liked the consistency but will probably be choose a different flavor next time.

During live performances, one waitress would get up on stage and play instruments and at other times bartenders would join in. I was truly smiling from ear to ear all night. I drank delicious mojitos all night and even with a packed venue the drinks came out extremely fast! Although the restaurant was packed, our waitress remained extremely kind and attentive throughout the night. To me, the food was just good. We had the Jamón Serrano Croquetas to start. They were a little cold for my taste and not the best I've ever had but they weren't bad. My husband really loved his skirt steak ropa vieja and didn't leave a single grain of rice. I opted for the rabo encendido pasta. I like that they weren't skimpy on the rabo. The downside of this place is that to maximize space, you're packed in like sardines. The tables are basically on top of each other. A larger sized person would not fit getting in and out of their seat and my husband was constantly backing up into the people seated behind him. Overall, this is a place you definitely visit for the atmosphere above food. I will 100% be coming back for drinks, appetizers and more live music. It is an incredible spot especially for those looking for Cuban nostalgia.

I ordered a cafe con leche, a Cuban sandwich and a Media Noche sandwich. Everything was delicious. Especially the media noche sandwich.

I've never had anything quite like it, except maybe in Caribbean Costa Rica, and there is something so special about the way they make it here. It is literally my first stop every time I visit Miami Beach. I genuinely crave it! And then there's the quatro leches cake. INSANELY good. You will absolutely finish it. I recently tried their iced Cuban coffee with sugar and milk, and it was such a delicious addition. The passion fruit juice is also fantastic. I finally tried the grilled lobster plate, and WOW, it did not disappoint. Honestly, you might need to walk around the block a few times afterward because everything is just THAT good, and you're going to finish every last bite. Puerto Sagua has been serving Miami Beach since 1968, and it is still standing strong, serving incredible Cuban food with so much character and history. Great service and love the open restaurant ambiance diner feel. If you're visiting Miami Beach, DO NOT skip this place. Come hungry and get a taste of this iconic Cuban American restaurant. And whatever you do, GET THE OXTAIL STEW!

I think she stole our table from someone else because shortly after someone came and we told them we put our order in and he seemed a little bothered. Unfortunately, our other server disappeared and never checked up on us. We pretty much didn't have any napkins during our entire duration of our meal. At least that part was good. We started off with a couple of mojitos and their Vaca Frita Tostones. You get these homemade maduro tostones topped off with shreeded beef in a moon sauce, pickled onion, and aji Amarillo aioli. A very delicious dish that didn't last long. Shortly after we received our main dish. I really hate when they do that. My wife ordered their Abuelas Ropa Vieja and I ordered their Masa de Puerco Chino. My wife didn't really care for her dish much. We've had plenty of Ropa Vieja before and would have preferred a congri type of rice as opppsed to just plain white rice. My dish was 10/10. Like in the name of "chino" this is an Asian inspired dish with fried rice, maduros, pineapple confit and crispy pork. A very delicious dish. It could have don't without the little salad on top, but at least it ads color to the dish. The crispy pork tasted so amazing and the fried had so much flavor. Mix in some of the maduros and you get a sweet and savory dish. Would definitely be returning to try this dish again.
