    Rabo encendido.
    Joseph S.

    As a local El Dos Ruedas is one of my go-to spots. I'm there about every other week, and it never disappoints. The prices are great, especially for authentic Cuban food that actually tastes like it should. I can't stop recommending the rabo encendido (oxtail) and the huevos a la cazuela. Both are absolute standouts. Every person I've brought ends up wanting to come back, which says a lot. The only downside is the service can be a bit slow, very Caribbean style, so don't come in a rush. But honestly, the food more than makes up for it every time and the people are super nice. I love this place!

    Ok so I come here for the ox tail ! It's the best I've had! The price is very reasonable. They give you the best bread when u first sit and their batido de trigo is amazing . Staff is super friendly. Will continue to come here!

    El Dos Ruedas "Colossal Cortadito"

    Hi everybody! So I decided today that I would checkout a local no nonsense lunch spot in the Pinecrest / Palmetto Bay Area that had been recommended. "El Dos Ruedas" was nearby where I was running some errands, so I decided to check them out and I am very happy that I did. As expected they were very busy but in a few minutes I was sitting down and talking to my server. Seeing as this is down home Cuban lunch spot, I opted for the Steak Sandwich, a couple of Croquetas and a cup of their soup of the day, "Ajiaco". All food items were excellent and the service was courteous and fast. Afterwards I ordered the obligatory "Cortadito" aka Cuban Macchiato and outside of being awesome it was huge! Talk about value.... The portion sizes were excellent and their prices were extremely affordable to boot. The most expensive item on the menu was a whole fried snapper for $17 which is unheard of really. Most food items range between $2 and $10 which is great. Normally you would think cheap prices mean bad food but that is not the case at all here guys. Everything is very fresh as I would expect it to be with so much traffic. The restaurant is not large but they do move tables fast from what I could see so no issues there. Additionally, they also have plenty of parking as they are located in a strip mall but it can get a little congested at lunch time. Ambiance was great as well and very welcoming but that is pretty typical for family owned Cuban restaurants. Well I certainly will be coming back whenever I can and if you want to get some great quality affordable no nonsense Cuban food, you should definitely give them a shot. Hey, great opportunity to put those Spanish lessons to use! Just sayin.... LOL! Wishing everyone a great day. Enjoy and Bon Appétit!

    This place never disappoints.. every time I go the food is GREAT! The service is great as well.

    We just left zoo Miami and we are a family of four. We were craving some authentic Cuban food . We didn't want to drive too far and thankfully this place popped up . We really enjoyed this little gem. The food was delicious. We didn't wait long at all. we are very satisfied.

    Super good super cheap cuban food

    A great deal for authentic cuban food in the southwest part of the miami area. A good sign - lots of guys sitting at the diner style counter and many locals coming to pick up to go orders. We were seated right away and the menu was extremely reasonable with menu items priced from $4 to just under 8 dollars. Seriously there might have been something over 8 but I dont remember seeing it. They had an extensive breakfast menu and I wish it had been that time of day cuz I do love some breakfast but since it was nighttime I went with the fried pork plate. You get to choose 3 sides with your item and they bring out baskets of buttery garlic bread. Some other items my party got were the creole shrimp, flank steak, seafood soup (a meal in itself) and the rice with squid (and accompanying ink). Everyone liked their dishes and while it looked like our food might take a long time service was pretty quick. The best local food places are in strip malls like this...I highly recommend.

    The food is amazing and it's cheap too. The portion is big as well! The servers were really sweet, especially since we didn't speak Spanish.

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 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.

The Ocean Drive location does it right: great service, very friendly and fast, food that was amazing across the board. Loved my first taste of a traditional, genuine Cuban sandwich, ham, roast pork, Swiss, pickles, mustard, all pressed together and served with a mountain of shoestring fries, as close to the source as I could ask for stateside. Ordered a rum and coke and they hand it to you in a genuinely giant glass, perfect for getting the party started, even though it was a random Monday afternoon. Vibes and atmosphere were immaculate the whole visit. Great first stop in Miami, and a great way to kick off the week that followed.
