I went to get a cafe con leche today at this airport location, And the barista was really sick, coughing, blowing his nose, not wearing gloves, and when I asked him if he was sick, he just waved his hand no. He was sick, the airport was packed, and regardless of what he had there was no regard for health and safety. This is so disrespectful to the public and I will never come here again. read more

4 stars?? lol maybe if you haven't eaten for 24 hrs. Cuban sandwich - was just ok. Not great. Salads - only good if you need fiber and are a potential masochist. read more

So I see you're at the airport, where food is unhealthy/unappetizing, service is surly, and prices make you want to brown bag it. Not in Miami. Walk out of security, turn left, go past the pizza joint, and you'll find a miniature bar and an attached kitchen. Estefan's specializes in Cuban sandwiches. I have had several of their offerings and here are my recommendations: 1. Order fresh at the counter, not the pick-up stuff. The sandwiches take some time to make, but the quality is so much better. And the kitchen is not fast, so skip this place if you're really in a hurry. But you've got time, so order here and then cool your heels at the common seating to the right of Estefan's. 2. Their better dishes: Lechon flatbread (better than the sandwich), Medianoche sandwich, mojito (which you drink standing up like you're at an espresso bar) 3. Meals that I'd probably not get again: Cuban Sandwich (not bad, but it's nothing special), Turkey Sandwich. Be warned, this is expensive compared to most other places in the airport, but better than most. The place isn't perfect, but it gets fair share of my patronage when I roll through MIA. read more

Most places on the airport are fast. Or they ask you if you have enough time. Standing for 30 mins waiting for an app in a setting that is mostly take out. Not worth it read more

Disappointed, the Chicken Cuban was dry ( maybe overcooked) and the salad tasted a little bitter/was it bad? and there was not enough salad dressing. So bummed. read more

I'm a South Florida-raised Cuban American, so I set my expectations low, despite the Estefan name -- they are Cuban royalty, but it's the airport, after all. Well, I think Gloria must be in the back taste-testing the sandwiches herself, because the Classic Cuban was a winner - super authentic down to the last ingredient. They use real Cuban bread which is an important but often overlooked element. The colada was also expertly sweetened and the service was fast and friendly -- and they have a full bar for that last-minute Cuba Libre before your flight. Props to the Estefans for doing it right. Pro tip: don't order something weird like the chicken bowl -- stick with the classics. read more

This place made me want to go to the full restaurant. The food was just waS I was looking for. I had a long flight, so I had a large order: Cuban sandwich, chicken empanada, and crema/ guaca empanada. The one thing I wouldn't get again was the sweet empanada. The cream was too cream cheese-y for me. The Cuban was perfect, but definitely better warm. It is rather large and would be sufficient for a quick bite to eat. Lastly the chicken empanada, i wish I would've ate this right away and got another one. It was also an large empanada and full of chicken! The lady who helped me was so nice! She's from Cuba and had the greatest stories, as I waited. These ladies made me love the Miami airport! read more

Cafe con Leche was AMAZING! Macaroons were delicate, golden brown and honestly...perfect. Now 4 hours later and still stuck in the airport I had to go back for the Cuban!!! Wow. Probably the best I have had anywhere in the US!!! read more

So many mixed feelings about this place. The location is great. It's easy to park. The taste of the food is fantastic. The ambiance it's good. The service was weird. We had a reservation for 5:30 we tried to get a later reservation but we were told that it was booked. The restaurant was empty all the way until we left at 8:30. I don't see why they said that we could not have a later reservation. It took 30 minutes for us to get the drink order. The way the appetizers came out was disorganized. The food runner did not know which table had order the food and often times we were asked if we had order a dish that was for another table. 20 minutes after we had finished our appetizers we needed up ordering our main course. The waitress was not visible or attentive. Although she was friendly, the experience was not one that is expected at a high end restaurant. It was more like eating at "la carreta" in calle 8. I would say that the place is overpriced for the level of service and the lack of organization. read more

Yes, yes and yes, food was good, even as we waited for our 8am flight. Had a long island (don't judge), hit all the right places. Cuban sandwich was tasty as well as the empandas! I'm so not a breakfast person, show me where you keep the meat and potaoes. Overall, good! read more

wandering the miami airport for some food and drink I could connect with. I heard Cuban music then a beautiful Hungarian young lady asked if I would like to try a Mojito, of course I did. Next thing I saw a splendid choice of Cuban food and beyond. Then...... I spotted the lechon flatbread (roast pork) with Maduro (sweet plaintains). That was it , I found my Roost . Are you kidding,? It was outstanding I can't eat it all but I'm taking it on the plane. I wanted to share it with the entire airport it was that good. SUERTE. good luck happy New Year anyone coming through the airport needs to sit down have a Mojito or some of their delicious rum and disfrutan un lechón flatbread. GRACIAS. PS. The guys are easy on the eyes too read more

Absolute trash at the Miami airport. They have a mock chicken bowl on the side. What they have to me was completely different. Literally a pile of rice, some chicken and a few plantains. They didn't even have hot sauce. The bar for airport food is low and this is maybe the worst I've ever seen. read more

What a wonderful Cuban flavored alternative to breakfast! I am very glad I waited till 6 am when they opened instead of defaulting for a bagel. They had a great selection of sweet and savory freshly baked pastries, with ham, cheese, cream, and what not. Also yogurts and sandwiches from their regular menu. The pastries were so good I took a couple for later in the day. Staff is super pleasant too even though it is a Monday morning :)) UPD: I wish I could upgrade my rating! The pastries lasted all day and made me smile while back in the office hundreds of miles away. The one with coconut and cream was so unique and flavorful, I wished I had bought more! read more

Love to pass by when I'm leaving or returning home. So many yummy items but pleaseeeee speed up the service. The name of your location includes the word Express so be mindful of the speeding up the service - add mote staff. read more

Great food! I was rushing to catch a flight. I called ahead & the food was ready when I got there. I ordered the Chicken & Cheese Flatbread with Guava BBQ Sauce. It was delicious & fresh! This is one of the best eateries in the Miami Airport hands down! read more

Definitely one of the best food options at MIA. The sandwiches are great, and they pack them in padded cardboard tubes so that you can bring them onto your flight without getting crushed. I haven't had a chance to try the desserts yet but I'm looking forward to it. Mmmm flan... Their mojitos are super syrupy, though, so avoid those. read more

This place is bangarang! It was the perfect pick-me-up for a long hard work day. TGIF. The set up is a small bar with many wonderful selections of drinks (They have Mojitos!) and food. I originally was going to get the Cuban sandwhich, but the staff were so friendly and talkative they told me one of the best things on the menu was the Lechon. It is a flat bread with BBQ pork, cheese, honey, truffle oil, and sweet plantains which after reading it off the menu caused me to be a little cautious. But since it was Friday and I could get a Cuban just about anywhere else in FL I figure why not. After taking one bite, this flatbread is an instant winner. I have many friends that travel in to the Miami airport, and I will most definitely be recommending they go visit this glorious little spot with their enthusiastic servers and tasty wizardry of flavors. read more

The croquetas were old and gross. I took one bite and threw the others out. Pastries were not fresh and I had a sandwich that was pretty dry. Embarrassing Cuban food at the airport. SAVE YOURSELF and head over to either la carreta or Versailles booth. read more

Amazing!! The pork sandwich delicious! Very creative. Smart idea. Like it very much! Upscale Cuban food! read more

We went to the location at the Miami Design District a little after lunch time. What a waste. We ordered Tostones rellenos, which were dripping with grease but regrettably tasteless, the grilled vegetable flatbread, which had corn, carrots, and peppers, none of which was grilled (frozen vegetables?), and the wedge salad, with two minute teaspoons of dressing. This was a great disappointment. They were moderately busy, so we had to wait45 minutes for the food to arrive. A waste of time and a waste of a meal. We were hoping for better. read more

Simply amazing worth the walk! Had to order a extra to bring back home to Austin Texas! read more

Everyone knows that the bar for airport food quality isn't set very high. Oftentimes we just need to grab something quick between connecting flights or to kill time between a long layover. Estefan Kitchen Express has exceeded my expectations and then some. They're a little storefront with a small bar near gate 27 in Concourse D. Service was friendly and I received my order pretty quickly. I ordered the Roasted Pork Flatbread, which was absolutely, hands down, the best and most creative flatbread I've ever eaten. The pulled pork was tender and perfectly cooked and the plantains on top were sweet in all the right ways. The drizzle of honey and truffle oil was the perfect finishing touch. Everything about that flatbread was literally perfect. I noticed that they also sell different flavored mojitos, which look really good, but I didn't get to try one this time. When you leave a place and are still thinking about how good your meal was days later, especially at a quick stop place like this, you know you have a winner. I'll definitely be back the next time I fly into MIA. read more

Worst guava/cheese pastelito I've had in Miami. Soggy and greasy. I checked it out, expecting them to be better than Versailles at the airport but was such a bad surprise. read more

The "freshly baked" cubano empanadas were ok. Could have been much more flaky and the meat didn't have the good flavor I was expecting. They also could have been served hot instead of warm. I would try another place next time. read more

Literally just pork on bread... they forgot the onions and mojo sauce... and it's not like they were busy at all. Had potential, but they obviously are either being super lazy or careless. Driest $14 sandwich ever. Do not eat here read more

Estefan Kitchen Express - So dry, forgot onions and mojo sauce - Cuban Near Me - Miami, Florida

One of the only places that has wifi at MIA. Their prices are a bit higher than other latin eateries at the airport but it's worth it! I was told their most popular was the lechon flatbread. Tender pulled pork with plantain. Both sweet and savoury. It's drizzled with some truffle oil and honey. Delicious! I was also intrigued by the coconut cheese pastelito and guava and cheese empanada. It came in a lovely to-go packaging. All items were delicious but the flatbread was indeed the star. I would come again if I were to layover at MIA. Downside to this place is there's no seating. It's a grab and go. On my to try list is their tres leches cake. I doubt it'll disappoint. But it's $5.50 compared to what others offer for $3.99. read more

Roasted pork flatbread is soooo good! Also the lady Deere! Good place to go before the flight! read more

Literally still in my terminal eating my food from Estefan Kitchen. ITS SO GOOD. We ordered one of the flatbreads and the Cuban sandwich. It is so so good. Easily in my top three spots for airport food fare. And honestly I would be surprised if this wasn't a standalone restaurant because ITS SO GOOD. Do yourself a big favor and get some Cuban food! read more

I was sadly disappointed, had high hopes for the Cuban American singers place.Portions and quality of food is not what you should expect for the cost. The Cuban cazuela (bowl) was smaller than my tiny hand, clearly not my abuelitas cazuela at an outrageous cost of $24. They don't even offer bread?? Really, a Cuban place!! Then I get surprised when they automatically added a 20% tip for a party of three, when I had to go find someone, anyone to refill my water glass!!! Someone needs to call Gloria fast. read more

Amazing Lechoń flatbread!!! Sweet & savory - perfection! Also tries guava pastel - so light and flakey. Beast airport food EVER!!! Highly recommend. read more

Guy who took our order was very cocky. Ordered the $16 variety "box". It was horrible. Food was barely lukewarm and clearly NOT freshly prepared (fried). Tasted like it had been in a warming tray all day. Plantain chips were tasteless. Don't waste your money here. You're better off to grab a refrigerated self serve sandwich at one of the stands. read more

While at the Miami International Airport we were just spending time walking around and I briefly stopped at Estefan Kitchen Express and found their bags of snack chips. Much to my surprise, I found Taro chips which I live and can never find alone. They are absolutely delicious but hadn't tasted them until I got home to Pennsylvania. I picked up some plantain chips as well and expect them to be just as good. Thanks for the great snack. read more

No matter whether the food is good or not, this place is slow as molasses. If you are short on time, do NOT stop here. Also insanely overpriced. Don't waste your time or money. read more

The quality is good the wine is ok, but this what I see here when I order a glass of wine and sit and drink it. You get scam, the guy round the numbers and if you don't check your ticket you will be over charged. One person notice and ask "-you say $3.50 and you charge me $4.00, immediately the cashier say that he make a mistake. I don't think so I was watching all the time. By the way I get charge $11 dollars for a glass of wine. I think I get scammed. read more
