The second time they were breaded and a bit mushy inside. I'm not sure which is the norm. There is indoor and outdoor seating, which is nice. I wish they had a cilantro sauce for the chicken, like many Cuban restaurants in Miami.

Locals were trying to tell me this place is overhyped but I think it's hyped for a good reason…read more The food here was SO good. As a Cuban from the Miami area, this is good Cuban food. And the portions are HUGE. We had a reservation which was well used as it was pretty packed. We sat inside. It was pretty warm inside, though, from the heat so just be prepared for that. We got a pitcher of sangria and they make it right beside the table. It was SO good. Wow. Each person got about 1/4 a loaf of warm bread. They did say it was cuban bread but it wasn't really. But hey the bread was good. We got their famous salad to try (one side order for 2 people to split and one person got it as their entree) and it was very good. They also make that table side. For our meals, we got the lechón, salad, and fish. The portions were HUGE. So much pork. It came with great tasing yucca, beans, and plantains too. For desert, we got the guava pastry and the natilla. The guava pastry was actually kind of amazing. Warm and so so good. The natilla was good but it was closer to a crème brûlée. It was still good, though. I'm excited to go to another (closer) location of theirs again. It was really such good food. We were also able to take our leftovers with us since they gave us so much food. The lechón plate is definitely splittable.

While I have awarded a 4-star rating for both the food and atmosphere, I must mention that there has been minimal evolution over the years. The short ribs remain a standout dish and the drinks never disappoint. However, having frequented the establishment for over 3.5 years, the predictability of the menu and lack of surprises have become evident. That being said, I did try the tiger shrimp flatbread during my last visit, which was a delightful special. Consistency is definitely a strong suit here, but I believe a touch of innovation wouldn't hurt, especially considering the kitchen's capabilities. Some seasonal menu variations or bolder flavor profiles would add a welcomed element

The atmosphere and interior are comfortable and classy. We dined early at 4:30pm to catch our show and we marveled at how the restaurant filled up during our time there. See you again soon, Selva Grill!
