The snapper itself was absolutely incredible, we devoured it. For our sides, we got plantains and salad. The plantains were so good, but you can skip the salad. It's literally just some cut veggies without dressing or any seasoning other than some dried cilantro. You do have to track down the waiters a bit but they will make sure your drinks are full and that you are otherwise taken care of. The ceviche and lomo saltado also looked incredible.

What makes this small cafe, in addition to offering good Cuban food, as well as some other style offerings, is that the food is not only very good, bit also decently priced in somewhat trendy and expensive Miami Beach. I had the Medianoche sandwich, which gets its name from the urban legend of it being to "go to" food to satisfy your midnight hunger in pre-Communist Cuba. I also had a mango "batido", that uniquely Cuban jewel that magically comes out of the blenders of places like this. Talking about mango... you can also walk away with a large container of freshly cut mango for about $10! The perfect strolling fruit to eat as you walk by all the other cool spaces around the area!

If you're debating whether to eat at Havana 1957, let me save you some time: go hungry and wear…read morestretchy pants. We ordered the Cuban sandwich and the Cuban burger, and honestly both were dangerously good. The Cuban sandwich was exactly what you hope for -- crispy bread, perfectly pressed, packed with flavor, and the kind of sandwich that makes you pause mid-bite and just nod at the person across from you like "yep... this was the right decision." The Cuban burger was also fantastic -- juicy, flavorful, and big enough that you start questioning whether you should have skipped breakfast. The area around the restaurant was great too. Nice vibe, good energy, and perfect for walking around before or after eating... which you will probably need to do after finishing that burger. The servers were good -- friendly, attentive, and thankfully didn't judge us for attacking the food like we hadn't eaten in three business days. Overall the place has a fun atmosphere, great Cuban comfort food, and the kind of menu that makes you want to come back just to try the things you didn't order the first time. Highly recommend... just be prepared to leave full and slightly considering a nap. 10/10 would happily destroy another Cuban sandwich there again.

Yes the ambience was nice but the flock of hookers walking down the sidewalk & street hooting and hollering killed it quickly.

For $100 a person I expected better service and no toothless hookers.

The fusion of Peruvian and Cuban was excellent and the atmosphere was sexy and vibrant. I had to try their piscojito cocktail which is a fusion of a mojito and pisco sour. Loved it!! We got a variety of dishes to share: octopus appetizer (Revolucion de Pulpo), Inka Maki (an interesting octopus roll), traditional ceviche, a chicken dish and the skirt steak (Churrasco a lo Pobre). Everything was excellent and teaming with nuances of flavors. The only gripe is the chicken was a bit dry but still good. As the evening progressed, live singing and music commenced. They were a talented pair singing song requests. The ambience and stage here make this place fun and also perfect for a date. Our server and staff was also very friendly, upbeat and solicitous. I would love to return and repeat this experience next time I'm in Miami Beach!

There's an intense dynamic of action throughout this joint- upstairs and downstairs. There's professional performers on the center bar top. Walk to the back and there's another live performance complete with more dancers and singing with a dance floor at the stage. What's upstairs? There is DJ dancing - popular high energy music. The drinks are definitely expensive, but that is to be expected in South Beach. The only complaint is the bartenders I visited on the bottom floor to the left bar in the back and upstairs in the DJ room looked like they did not want to be there. Perhaps, this place is too wild for a continuous eight hour shift? Who knows. The jovial atmosphere in this place makes you forget quickly though. I think I stayed here until 2am dancing my ass off. I had a colorful evening and would definitely return! - maybe the dinner and show experience?
