As many others, was referred by Gio at the Hampton Inn. Was able to be seated quickly. Nice environment. Good service though not very personable. We both ordered tilapia with shrimp. My husband's came with jumbo shrimp and he said flavored well. My stuffed tilapia wasn't stuffed and had chopped pieces of shrimp, a red sauce and a huge layer of cheese. Tasted fine but wasn't very flavorful and very rich. Would definitely return and try something new. read more

This restaurant came highly recommended. I l like a good flavorful Cuban sandwich. This was the most tastless and dry sandwich I ever had. The red beans and rice were as dry as if they just came out of the bag. The service was just indifferent, we had an order of frys, she asked if we wanted ketchup, at the end of the meal she produced an empty ketchup bottle. The interior was ok with a cuban look. Maybe we caught them on a bad day, or maybe not. $60.00 later we left, hungry, the Burger King across the street looks inviting. read more

Amazing service and food. Greeted by friendly staff and sat at a table quickly. I was recommended this restaurant by the hotel staff across the street and they weren't kidding, absolutely amazing Cuban food! I got the Cuban Sandwich Especial and it was so flavorful! My wife got the Cuban sampler plater and was blown away! Huge portions, so come hungry. read more

Casa Juan Restaurant - Churrasco Sandwich - Latin American Near Me - Miami, Florida

First of all the service here was good, the ladies that took our order were attentive and we got our order pretty timely. But the food was horrendous, we went for lunch and we ordered off the lunch menu. We ordered "Chicharrones de Pollo" and this was not at all what we received. What we actually got was fried chicken drum and a thigh, drenched in oil. There was a mountain of oil in the containers that were given. I also ordered salad and beans on the side, they did not give me beans but instead gave me white rice. The fried chicken wasn't terrible, but the fact it was drenched in oil made my stomach feel terrible, and my coworkers who also ordered the same thing felt the same. It feels like they just dropped the chicken in oil, fried it and scooped it out of the oil without letting any of the oil out. Chicharrones are Chicharrones, not oil drenched fried chicken drum and thigh. The advertised plate was incorrect. This experience was very disappointing and we will not be coming back here to eat nor would I recommend it. read more

Great Cuban and Latin food at great prices, good pork chunks and sides were plentiful

Excellent service, quite clean inside but turned off by the dirty front windows. Cuban sandwich Captain Juan not good . Didn't expect boiled ham and there was no bacon in the sandwich which the menu described. The chips that came with it were tiny pieces of fried potatoeschips....not chips as we expect from a bag. Do not recommend. read more

Wow this place knocked our socks off! Have only had Cuban food a few times, and this was amazing! Makes me wish they had more Cuban options where I live. The Carne con Papas melted on your mouth it was so good! The Platano Relleno de Picadillo - now that's where my socks got knocked off I can't even tell you how good this was! Even the next day it was just as good as in the restaurant. Speaking of the restaurant itself was really cute and honestly made me think I was underdressed. The waiter was adorable and seemed new but he was just great! read more

Casa Juan Restaurant - Fried plantains with garlic cream dipping sauce - Latin American Near Me - Miami, Florida

Casa Juan is amazing gem located in a plaza not far from the airport. On the outside there's a sign that showcases their daily specials and you can order from the outside too via a window. Immediately upon entering you're greeted by the host and welcomed to very amazing smells of their food. They also gave an appetizer of bread and garlic and it was so delicious too. They have daily specials and the portions are plentiful. I had the yellow rice with chicken which was served with a chicken thigh and drum, lots of rides, fresh veggies, and sweet plantains. The food was so delicious and enough to cover more than two meals. I'd highly recommend them and will return! read more

My party of 4 was recommended by the local hotel staff. This little restaurant was cute and clean. We were really excited to try this local Cuban spot. The waitress answered our questions as we ordered. My daughter had the grilled steak. She did not like it and took only two bites. What a waste. Two of us ordered the chicken with onions and peppers. It was ok...a bit dry and could have used a little more flavor. My nephew ordered kids pizza and said it was ok. The yellow rice was bland. The veggies were bland and should have been steamed more. The mashed potatoes were not a hit. We did try the cafe con leche...it was great. The best thing we ate was the garlic bread they provide. We asked for more and never got any. It was delicious. Oh and my minor daughter got a virgin pina colada and they charged us full price...$13.99. That was robbery!! read more

We chose this restaurant due to the proximity to our hotel as we came in the night before a cruise. It was a short walk away from our hotel to this strip mall area. We were surprised by the number of security in the parking lot. I'm not sure if that is common or not. The restaurant itself was on the smaller side. Servers were quite friendly. They give you a complementary bread and olive oil to dip. The food itself was so so. I ordered my steak, medium rare and it looked like they had to cut it to make sure that it was cooked ok. There was parts of the steak that were actually cold. Luckily I didn't have any problems with my digestive track. My wife had ordered the paella and for whatever reason it didn't taste that good. I'm sure there's many choices when you come to Miami for Latin American food however this was the closest and you can make your own judgment whether you like it or not. read more

We randomly were looking for food close to the convention center, and let me tell you the food was bustin'. If you plan to dine in, accommodate for more time as we went when it was slightly busy. We were immediately sat, but the food was cooking so it took some time. The rice was great paired with the Ropa. Also the soup it the spot. And I got the lunch special so price point was around $13-$14 which is not bad. If there is one thing you can take away from this review. Get the empanadas. We tried all the flavours: meat, spinach, ropa (shredded beef), chicken. My top was the spinach, it's not like other places, I think they add something to the spinach which makes it bomb. I tried a different place with their spinach empanadas and I was severely disappointed since it tasted just like actually real spinach. But trust. In terms of ranking: Spinach (#1), Ropa - there is bell peppers in it (#2), Chicken (#3), Meat (#4) - honestly tasted like hamburger ground meat for lunch but not in a good way. I would pass on meat completely. But try it for yourself and let me know. Definitely coming back. read more

This place is so yummy! Breakfasts come with coffee or cafe con leche (delish, creamy, sweet) and are large portions. We got the eggs rancheros -- so yummy! Came with this pepper-y sauce that was savory and not too spicy, paired well with our eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns - and included the coffee option. Everything was tasty and the servers were kind! In a shopping mall so parking is ample. read more

Restaurant was clean and the servers were nice and attentive. We ordered again the Chicharrones de pollo and the recipe or the cook must have changed. The chicken was in large pieces and totally tasteless with practically no mojo but just onions. Much better was before cut into smaller chunks and very garlicky. We asked for additional garlic mojo and it was just lemon juice with very little garlic. The rest of the sides were uneventful. Will not be returning. read more

Casa Juan Restaurant - Latin American Near Me - Miami, Florida

We went here on the recommendation of the Hampton Inn & Suites front desk people, and we were absolutely disappointed. Our server and all the other servers no doubt were overwhelmed by a party of 68 guests who came for a party all shortly after we arrived. It is, we believe, because of this that the kitchen and server staff were unable to perform favorably. One of our servings of grill fish had one filet nicely done and the other was barely cooked. The vegetables for that meal were completely cold. Our other meal, grilled chicken breast was satisfactorily cooked but was presented as cutlets rather than a regular breast of chicken, and it was toward the dry side and tough. The accompanying mashed potatoes were not warm either. The salad was presented with no salad dressing nor was any offered. We couldn't catch the attention of our server to rectify any of these problems, and one other server who I finally flagged down to request some dressing never returned. The staff were clearly unable to support their customers, so it seems the management made a major error in not just closing the restaurant to non-party customers. All of the above leads me to definitely not recommend this place. read more

The front desk guy from the nearby Hampton Inn gave me a 10% off coupon and a recommendation. I'm glad he did. My wife and I were both amazed at the deliciousness of the food. The beans and rice alone would have been sufficient. My wife got something with chicken, and I got a platter with like four items along with rice and beans. I couldn't eat it all, but I was glad I got to try it all. I'm new to Cuban food. I've had a Cuban sandwich, but this was my first Cuban dinner. It was fantastic. I'll eat here again if I'm in town. read more

We were flying back after our cruise and had a long day with nothing to do while waiting in miami, so we decided to look for a place to get a cuban sandwich. With all the luggage we were carrying around, we wanted somewhere that would be ok with that. Casa Juan's team made sure we felt comfortable and well taken care of with all our luggage. From the moment we got there till we left, we were very well attended here. We loved the experience and the very "at home" environment that was created there. The churrasco was juicy and flavorful, the rice and maduros were great. Piña colada made well. Our sandwiches were exactly what we were looking for. We ended our meal with a couple cortaditos which were a great end to the meal. We even got some sandwiches to take home, and the staff made sure to wrap our sandwiches very well for the trip home. overall great experience and we recommend if you're looking for authentic food near the miami airport. read more

This was recommended by the hotel staff and it was right across the street so we decided to give it a try and it was very good, an extensive menu made it difficult to make a decision on what to order but decided on the Casa Juan Paella and it was really good. Loaded with seafood including crab legs, shrimp, calamari, and scallops served with a well seasoned rice. Some of the seafood was a little overcooked or it would be 5 stars. read more

Outside by the entrance they have a sign posted with what it appears to be the specials for the day. O ordered the whole snapper which was listed at 18.95. When done the fish dinner was billed at 29.95. When questioned they started to lie that it was a special for Friday and not weekend, also saying that the price was for a smaller fish. I simply told them that we're lying and ripping people for this bait and switching. They then erased the price on the whole fried snapper and left the board by the door. The most devious is that the waitress asked another waitress to verify and claimed of not seeing the fish on the board and then there is another waitress holding the door opened and smiling . I informed here that this was not a laughing matter and that they were ripping customers off. So in short be very much aware of this restaurant in not being honest in their prices. Consumers be very much on alert in this place. read more

Came here for lunch and was extremely disappointed. Ordered the chicken from the daily specials. After about 20 minutes, my server Jose tells me that it's still not ready. It finally comes out a few minutes later, burnt and dry. I ordered it with vegetables and mashed potatoes. The veggies were not fresh and were served cold and wet (like they were billed frozen). The mashed potatoes were not fresh either and tasted like they were made from a box. The only thing that was good was the water, which was cold and refreshing. After a few bites, I signaled Jose for the check. He asked me how it was and I told him how poor everything was. He did not seem surprised and acted disinterested in my experience. The kicker: he charged me from the regular menu, which was $3 more. First and last time ever coming to this place. read more

This restaurant was recommended by our hotel, which was walking distance. Not having been to a Cuban restaurant we asked a lot of questions of the server who was very patient and kind. We asked for his recommendations, he asked what proteins we were leaning towards. My husband was looking for a pork dish and I was looking for a beef dish. His recommendations were spot on to our preferences. My husband had a super tender pork and yellow dish and I had a well cooked steak adding two sides. It was also a nice change from the many fried options on other restaurants. Very nice meal. read more

SO good and easy walking distance from the Hampton Inn and all the other airport hotels. When in Miami, even on a stopover, how can you resist real deal Cuban food? I had the Paella for one ($40) and it was an insane amount of delicious, flavorful Arborio rice and abundant seafood. It was a battle between me and the dish, and the dish nearly won! When my hotel recommended this spot to me I thought "strip mall?" But I'm so glad I stopped in for dinner! Perfect spot for a solo diner looking for some excellent grub. read more

Very complicated ordering process. Clueless staff. No idea what a Tortilla Vasca is. Young kid addressing me as "Tú," when I could be his grandfather. Wanted to charge me $7.95, just to add shrimp to an omelette that already costs $14.00. Kid/waiter had to go back and forth to ask someone for the answers to my questions. Showed up with a tablet to take my order. Perfect example of the poor service that has become widespread in restaurants all over Miami. Never going there, again! Went to La Carreta, instead, and ordered the Tortilla Vasca for $11.95, with two sides. Wake up Casa Juan! read more

My hotel heard me say I wanted to try a Cuban sandwich before I left Miami. The front desk clerk told me I nearly had to walk across the street for a very good Cuban sandwich. She also gave me a card for 10% off the restaurant. I am definitely committed to eating here now! Going to the place stuck in the middle of the strip mall, I initially noticed an outdoor service portion along with a seated area for seated dining. Inside was nice, but I only wanted a sandwich... let's try the outdoor service. The staff was really nice. The order window was very short for me, so they got a good laugh about that. They told me the sandwich would be about 10 minutes. The sandwich arrived hot with the bread slightly toasted. They put little potato fries all on the sandwich which give it an extra crunch. Overall, I could tell the sandwich was fresh. They did not skimp on the two meats nor cheese. This place sales a variety of items which includes natural juices, seafoods, as well as mofongo. All in all, an enjoyable eating experience at a decent pricing. I may have to visit them again to try something new. P.S. They have Crystals hot sauce! read more

Arrived here at the recommendation of our hotel after a long day of travel. We ordered ropa vieja, rice with chicken, sweet plantains, soup, and assorted other sides.

Our only negative was the music they chose to play was the worst of yacht rock. If in the area we would definitely return with headphones. read more
