Sopa de pollo

I don't know how I haven't do a review before! My favorite place for (most) Cuban food! The staff is great they have been there for the past 10+ years I have been going there. It's a very cute place. Sometime they have live music on Saturday nights. (Call) Their lunch menu is when to go! So many options and nice portions. Our favorite is the lechon asada. Plus their plantains are top notch. Their chicken soup is a much we get it every time. Must try! We go at least once a month!

We had a really good lunch here. We like their other locations, but had never been to this one. So glad we decided to stop by. We came for lunch. They had a nice menu with lots of appealing choices. They were busy but we got very good service, as well. They start you out with a basket of Cuban garlic bread. I had to stop myself from eating it all. For my entree, I had their baby churrasco. The flavorful steak came with chimichurri sauce and it was delicious. For my sides I had moros (mixed black beans and rice) -- a huge portion -- and maduros (sweet plantains). The sides were equally as good as the meat. My husband got their ropaj vieja. He said the shredded beef was so tender and the sauce quite tasty. For desert, we shared some classic flan. The caramel sauce was lick the plate good and the flan just the right consistency. This one's a keeper!

Stay hydrated.

I am writing this after dining with friends last night. Each one of us had leftovers. You get a very reasonable AUTHENTIC portion for 2 meals. I love the friendly staff. They have helped me try new dishes, never disappointed. Love supporting this team.

10/10 would recommend if you're looking for some good cuban food, with excellent service. My husband, sister in law, & I came here and I will be back. We arrived maybe 1 hour before closing and were still treated well. The portions were large for a very decent price and the environment was clean and cozy feeling. Our waiter was so sweet and the food was delish.

from the moment we parked, we knew this place had been here forever or was an original building. My father and I went for dinner Saturday night and it couldn't be any more static to walk in to a fine casual family oriented Cuban restaurant that have been there for well over 30 years. We used to go to Casa Romeo in Pembroke Pines for 25 years and we were super sad when we heard the news of them closing. Would that be in said we took a 25 minute drive to go have some dinner and we couldn't be more pleased with how satisfied how flavorful and how great the service was. As soon as we sat down, the servers were attended to us very nice bilingual so in case you speak English, it's still an amazing spot to enjoy. We ordered the Chicharittas, along side of that they're warm garlic bread that's toasted came out with it. But Chicharittas were perfectly cooked. Thinly shaved, not overcooked perfect amount of garlic on there however, I believe it did have a lot of onions on top. I love onions, but I love the garlic mojo over Chicharittas a lot more! For dinner, my dad ordered the Bistec de Empanizado, with Arroz moro and yucca! That's usually my go to order however I ordered the Masas de Cerdo with arroz moro and tostones! Pork chunks perfectly cooked soft in the middle flavorful. The steak was really really good, thinly battered and fried, just enough chopped onions on the plate to where it didn't overdo it. the rice of course my favorite because nobody does it better! The yucca could have used a little bit more garlic sauce, but they give you some on the side so you can add it as you please, so I really appreciated that and the tostones, yummy-- Also served with the garlic mojo on the side. of course we had to finish off with Cuban coffee ! we shared both dishes, we love them and we were super happy when we left. There aren't many Cuban restaurants that are actually good and genuinely flavorful with a background of history. we will definitely be back !

Papas Rellenas  Soo yummmy!!!!!

Not too sure why their reviews are 3.7, as we completely enjoyed our entire experience! We originally planned to go to Havana, but they were closed. We walked & stumbled upon Don Ramon. So so glad we did. Large food portions, affordable, & DELICIOUS! Our party of 3 literally ate everything!!! Service was good, gentleman was super super kind! just a little slow considering it was a Monday & not busy but WOW other than that 10/10. Definitely will be back!

Excellent Cuban food! Great live entertainment. Well stocked bar but a def minus not having a bartender esp. on a Friday! I've had several excellent Cuban dinners there. Done takeout too. Parking lot is tight and scary. Service is better on weekends. My guy on Friday did not want to serve a single customer, at the bar. I do better on weeknights. Love the pianist playing standards.

Dom Ramon Burger

The Don Ramon burger was amazing. Same with the Churasco bites! The customer service was wonderful. They make you feel like family. I will be back here with my family. Also great place to watch the World Cup at the bar.

Pan con Bistec with sweet plantains.
Willy M.

I haven't been to a Don Ramon in decades! Came by with some old friends for lunch. This is the one off of Dixie not Military. When we pulled up 11 am or so into the parking lot, we thought they went out of business or not open yet. I guess we were the first ones to get there that day. Whatever. Friendly greetings for us, seated immediately with menus and drink orders taken. Big menu, I kept it pretty traditional and just got the Pan con Bistec. Good sized steak sandwich, straightforward and simple. Comes with sweet plantains or fries. Bread seemed fresh, steak was fine, no issues from me. Everyone else at the table seemed to enjoy their lunch too. Staff was friendly, fairly quick to get your order out and get you anything else you may need. Prices are about what I thought it would be. Nice lunch visit for us, nice to hit up an old school spot from back in the day!

Been driving past this place thinking it was a steakhouse for years until I saw a TV article on the place. It is clearly an established Cuban restaurant. So in we go to great welcome from Jorge a knowledgeable and friendly server. Cuban food is pretty simple but asked for advice and tried a beef dish with white rice and pork dish with yellow rice plantains and the rest. Generous portion washed down with Mojitos. Started with what I call pork scratching but are deep fried belly bits Great starter. Finished with Traditional flan with coconut. Will come again. Seems they have live music on weekends. Not Tito but I am sure just great like the rest of place Lots of parking right outside

Free restaurant parking. Ample seating, separate bar area. Tables and booth seating, good cuban food with ample portions. Good stuff! Had the Marquita's-fried Plantain chips, dinner special was Cuban sampler that was very generous, then cafe con leche. All good.

Arroz con Pollo
Danaysi C.

The sangria was absolutely delicious and refreshingly cold This restaurant feels so cozy. You have to go down a ramp to go into the front of the restaurant. You have to park up slight hill, then walk down to find the entrance. The service was slow but pleasant. The place was pretty busy around lunch time, as they do have specials from 12-3 pm. I left completely stuffed with left overs. But i did have a lot of sangria! It was so good!

Wasn't sure what to expect, but we had a very good start with the chips and salsa. For a Sunday…read moreevening, they had a pretty good crowd, which is always a good sign. I will say they could use a little better lighting, as the place does look a bit dated, but maybe that's the look they're going for. I've heard this restaurant has been here for about two years, and somehow we didn't know about it until a few weeks ago. Onto the main dishes! I had the Vaca Frita with white rice, black beans, and maduros, and everything was packed with great flavor. My wife had the Birria Tacos, and she said they were excellent. Of course, I had to try the consomme and what a mistake... because now I'm hooked line and sinker. It was so packed with flavor that I even started dipping my Vaca Frita in it. This is definitely a hole-in-the-wall kind of place, and I mean that in the best possible way. Don't miss out on it! I've seen some people complaining about the gratuity already being included on the check. Stop whining and tip what you should. If you have a problem with tipping, don't go out to eat at a restaurant with waitress service. The additional tip option at the bottom of the receipt is simply there for those who want to leave the full 20% or more. If you don't feel they deserve anything extra, then leave it as is. We will definitely be coming back. The scary part is just how local and convenient this place is. Ha!

So a friend found this place based off their IG page so I was skeptical. I was even more skeptical…read morewhen I pulled into the parking lot which is quite dilapidated and many of the store fronts are empty. However, I know from traveling that some of the best spots are ones that appear to be a hole in the wall. I walked in, very cute inside! Staff was welcoming and I cozied right up at the bar to wait for my friend. I was immediately brought chips and salsa and a cold beer. We ended up sitting at a high top and our waitress suggested that I try either carne asada from the Mexican menu or Vaca Frita from the Cuban menu. I love me some carne asada but I was intrigued but this 'fried shredded beef' that was marinated in mole and cooked in a hot skillet until crispy. She suggested sweet plantains to go with it and white rice with beans which is traditional Cuban (instead of yellow rice). IT WAS FABULOUS! It was crispy on the outside and juicy. The mole was flavorful but not spicy and i appreciated that the meat was not dripping in sauce. My dinner date ordered chicken tamales which were seasoned in a Cuban style with yellow rice. She is used to Mexican tamales but said these really hit the spot! The only blemish on the nice was her second margarita which was the cucumber one which she didn't like at all. However, the first one she ordered (pictured) which was a different flavor was a show stopper.

The picadillo is probably one of the absolute best that I've ever had. The Cuban sandwich was stuffed and all the flavors were amazing. I wish it was pressed a little longer to make it a solid crisp all the way through the sandwich. Those mashed potatoes were amazing and the pork belly was a great addition to them

I'm always surprised when the food at a restaurant we've dined at in the past, is quite different…read morewhen we return. The Croquettas Jamon Cubanas were as tasty as we're used to, and the mayonnaise-based sauce was nice and smooth. Unfortunately, the Empanadas De Picadillo have changed, and not for the better. Our Cubano Sandwich wasn't quite as good as in the past - - the pork was a bit overcooked and dry. Everything else was perfect. Our Margaritas were nice and refreshing, as always. Our server, Bryan, was terrific. His suggestions were helpful and his service attentive. Copacabana is light and airy - very comfortable. We sat outside on their large patio. Despite being right on Main Street, there was no "road noise" and it is well lit and very inviting.

This place has completely fallen off. I've been going here for about 11 years or so. Long before…read morethe nightclub discotheque outside. Long before an outside bar. Back when they used to focus only on their food. Last visit, my Cuban sandwich was absolutely gross, the bread was rock hard, the pernil was super dry, and the cheese wasn't even melted. I let that one slide and chalked it up to the kitchen having a bad day. However, yesterday was even more horrendous experience. I've been Puerto Rican my entire life lol. Almost 50 years of existence. I have never in my life encountered a more soggy greasy and squishy Chicharron as I did yesterday. It was an absolute abomination. A disgrace to all of Latin heritage. The little bits of meat were rock hard and burnt to a crisp. What's supposed to be crispy skin, was completely soggy and soft. As if it had never been cooked at all. I have no idea how you could get the meat burnt to a crisp and the skin completely soggy on pork belly. I'm completely appalled the fact that it was even given to me. Whoever was in the kitchen should have known better than to serve that slop. It's an embarrassment to the establishment to even have put that into the window to be given to a customer. There's absolutely no way the person in the kitchen knows what they're doing with Latin food if that was served. It deeply saddened me to say I'll never go back to this place again. Not even for a beer. Seeing as how the prices have skyrocketed and the food quality has gone into the toilet I'll pass. Thank you.(pictures taken before the Chicharron was given to the dogs as a snack, because even bad food doesn't go to waste in my house)

This was a really good find! Really delicious authentic burritos - a little pricey, but worth it…read morefor comparable options in the area. The burritos are wrapped and lightly grilled and the steak inside was authentic flavorful, and plenty. They also provide complementary chips with a little bit of salsa, which is always a plus. They have a very small indoor section with about two small tables and then a bigger patio section in the back. That's very colorful and lively. It looks like they might have a DJ or outdoor bar in the cooler months, but we visited during summertime and it was pretty hot and human back there but regardless still a vibe. This is a spot where you order at the counter and then they bring out your meal to your table. Everyone was super friendly here and quick. I would definitely recommend them and I will return when I'm in the area. I found them both on Google Maps and cross checked out with TikTok that had raved about this spot. 10 out of 10 for a casual burrito!

The food is very good. Everything was fresh, tasty, and nicely assembled. The food gets 5 stars,…read morehowever the atmosphere and some other factors are more like 3 stars to me... The music inside was loud, like uncomfortably so in my opinion. The indoor seating, of which there is very little, is tight and uncomfortable too. They've got very rustic outdoor seating, but who wants to be outside midday when it's hot and sticky? The trade off was loud music and a hard seat or outside in the heat - we chose inside for the A/C. Also, it's an order-at-the-counter type system. They will bring your order to the table, but you're clearing the dishes yourself. My guess is that this place works much better for those grabbing food to-go or via delivery.
