If it's your first visit, start with the ropa vieja, the masita de puerco, or their Cuban sandwich--pressed perfectly, loaded with flavor, and absolutely worth the hype. You really can't go wrong. On my last visit, I tried El Jefe--think of it as a wrap stuffed with rice, black beans, chicken or pork, and platanitos. Trust me, you'll thank me later. And whatever you do, put their homemade mojo on everything. It's so good I buy bottles to take home. This little gem never disappoints: great service, incredible food, and a nostalgic vibe that just hits right every time.

Most of the ladies who work there do not speak English just like in Miami, but there is always one who speaks a little English and if you can speak a little Espanol and point to what you want, you will get what you came there for. Our server was friendly and helped us get our favorite guava pastries. Their prices are very reasonable here. They were fresh baked and smelled so good! They also have Cuban coffee, iced and hot. They make delicious cakes and donuts. And the favorite there is the Cuban Sandwich, which is generously filled with ham, shredded pork, pickle, cheese and crusty bread. They also have pastelitos and croquettas. Parking is right in front of the super cute casa restaurant. There is outdoor dining and a few tables inside also. They have a drive-in also. It is clean and nicely decorated. We will go back next trip.

We were not happy with our hotel choice (only one of two hotels in Miami with which Virgin Voyages…read morehas a relationship apparently) but this restaurant, located inside the hotel, turned our frowns upside down. We had two breakfasts here as well as drinks and dinner. The food is top-notch. Good little surprises, like the use of guava instead of maple syrup on the French Toast. The decor is lovely; clearly Cuban but nice and clean, a modern-take on Cuba. The staff are excellent. If you're here for drinks, have a Guava Mule. Why have the same old same old Mojito; try something different. Just be aware: If memory serves (It's been two weeks since we checked out of the hotel), Cana adds an 18% gratuity to ALL checks. So look at your check BEFORE you calculate the tip.

Seated by the friendly Matre D - we were in a booth near the bar, an excellent spot. There were 4 of us and we started with the Burrata , guava jam, fresh olive oil and kosher salt with grilled buttered bread. It was nothing short of amazing. So fresh and flavorful. We moved on to the mussels ~we could have had straws and drank the broth , it was nothing short of amazing. The server was so personable - we asked about their Cuban Sandwich which wasn't on their dinner menu. They said they were available via special request and we were all in. The Cuban sandwich was nothing short of amazing- the best we've ever had. The bread, the flavor of the ingredients, then we dipped them into the clam sauce, I can't tell you how good it was.

Miami nightlife wrapped up in one spot. The cocktails are gorgeous, bold, and come with that Latin flair that makes them just as fun to sip as they are to show off. Pair them with sharable plates full of flavor and you've got the perfect recipe to kick off the night. What really makes Chica shine is the vibe it's sexy, lively, and electric without trying too hard. The DJs and atmosphere keep the night moving, and you can roll from dinner straight into drinks and dancing without ever leaving. If you're looking for the perfect place to pregame, celebrate, or just soak up Miami nightlife, Chica hits every mark. It's not just dinner, it's the party before the party!

There was also a space in the back available for private events. I was happy to see some plant based options, but disappointed that in a Mexican restaurant no bean dishes were offered and would definitely have liked to see more vegan or vegetarian options. A hummus that came with a large plate of crudites was good, but definitely not Mexican. All dishes we tried were really good, although the prices seemed high for the size. There was a show of flame throwers which probably accounted for some of the price going towards.

Chug's is the kind of place that screams comfort for food. There is nothing fancy here. Just beautiful, indoor and outdoor seating in a diner type atmosphere with excellent food and even better service. I must admit that, even in major cities like New York and Miami the parking gods smile on me. As is strangely usual for me, as I drove up to the restaurant on a busy Sunday morning, someone pulled out only steps away from my destination, leaving me a space to pull into. Walked up to the restaurant since they do not take reservations on Sunday mornings and put my name in. I was informed of the wait, which was not a problem because it was a beautiful day to walk around. I peruse the neighborhood, seeing other lovely restaurants and shops before being informed that my table was ready quite quickly. It was a gorgeous day to sit outside, but the first table that opened up was indoors, and it was kind of nice to enjoy the ambience of an old style diner. Perused the menu, which was quite nice, but told I could only order from the brunch menu, which was a little bit restrictive. We ordered La Completa with smoked salmon, a pancake with Nutella and bananas, and a milkshake and french fries for dipping pleasure. Everything was excellent. Service was over the top good. Really enjoyed it and will be back. I always feel I have to explain why I leave four stars instead of five at a restaurant that I love. In this case it is specifically because there was nothing creative about the pancake. They start with an exquisite preparation, but do nothing to make it extraordinary. For example, served with fruit compote and nuts or ice cream and sliced fruit or any other creative arrangement could really elevate the dish, making it both picture worthy and enticing to return to try more options. Despite that minor criticism, I really love this place and will be back and even try other meals here. Oh and don't forget to hold my parking space.

The empanadas de choclo (filled with corn and mozzarella) were rich and full of flavor. For the mains, the churrasco was tender and served with cilantro rice, which felt unique and is not something I come across often. The mushroom ravioli was coated in a truffle sauce that I also really enjoyed. Overall, everything was a 10 for me, and I would definitely come back. One thing that stood out was the absence of alfajores on the dessert menu. Given how authentically Argentine the place felt, alfajores would have been my go to choice if they had been available.
