Chicken Croqueta
Jas H.

This is a great place if you want classic Cuban food. I really enjoyed their chicken croquetas. They were nice and crispy and also filled with a lot of chicken, which is a plus. I tried a little bit of everything from the Paloma steak which had a nice crispy texture. The lechon on pan was delicious but filling so beware! The arroz con pollo had a creamy soup like texture filled packed with flavor. The last dish we shared was pan fried Lechon with onions, it wasn't my favorite dish, but still flavorful. You can never go wrong with a side of rice and beans and we also ordered a side of yucca. The server was super helpful and very attentive. I will note that the bathrooms were not the cleanest. Overall, this is a great place to enjoy a good atmosphere, good drinks, and plenty of Cuban favorites on the menu.

Cuban done right!! Havana Harry's is a staple in the Coral Gables/Miami area. Situated off the main strip in CH, Havana Harry's a great spot for dinner, a family-outing, date night, lunch w/friends or a business meeting -- the place checks all boxes! This trip, I selected the lunch special which essentially is a three course meal for just $22 bucks. The stuffed chicken resembles a cordon-bleu, however imagined a chef inspired cordon-bleu, the dish is anything but regular. Not to mention the portions are massive, lunch turned into dinner. The wait time for this establishment during lunch was bare to minimum, the staff were hospital, and the pina colada's stayed flowing. If you're in Miami, make your way to CG for Havana Harry's.

Guava Cheesecake
Sakinah P.

The ambiance service and food was so inviting. This is a great restaurant with large portions well worth a visit. My server Jose P. Was amazing he had great recommendations and was a delight to interact with. I had the malainise this time and it was delicious the guava cheesecake was to die for! I give it a 10/10

We enjoyed very much this authentic Cuban restaurant! Our server was fantastic!! Has been here for 3 years working real hard! It was great to see someone that was very thankful to be here! My breaded steak with black bean and rice was very good. I had a mango shake that was awesome! My wife had amazing avocado that she even ate it 3 days later and was still very good! I was just mad we didn't have any more room to eat more! This is the place to go in Miami!

Tres Vacas Fritas
Vin P.

It was my first time to Miami and I wanted some Cuban food, and Havana Harry's was highly recommended to me. We ordered the Seafood Vararedo and Tres Vacas Fritas. I will say the portions are massive! We also ordered Fish Chicharones for appetizers. We could not finish everything because of the sheer size of the dishes. The food was great but I will say the Tres Vacas Fritas, though very flavorful, was very over cooked and dry, it made it a tad difficult to eat as it started to cool down. Everything else was fantastic and the service was great. Our server was also checking in on us

Arroz con pollo a la Chorrera
Reinier A.

This place was awesome and the food tasted great. I just visited with my family and they had a great deal for the Taste the Gables pixe fixe menu promotion for 2 people $60 (2 drinks, 1 appetizer, 2 entrees and 1 dessert) not bad! We had the mojito and Cuban mule, shared the ceviche which was great, and then the baby churrasco with moros and maduros and the arroz con pollo a la chorrera and for dessert we had the coconut flan. Everything tasted great and we will be returning, no doubt. The waiter service was okay. They had good music playing in the background and the decor was alright. But overall a great location and food

Another Miami Spice dinner that did not disappoint. The portions were huge and the food was so good. I really enjoyed it. I couldn't finish the meal or the dessert had to bring it home. We received great service and it was speedy.

Havana Harry's delivers exceptional Cuban cuisine with incredibly generous portions. Every dish we tried was a standout--bursting with authentic flavor and clearly made with care. From the vibrant appetizers to the hearty entrees, everything exceeded expectations. A must-visit spot if you're craving bold, delicious Cuban food served in a lively, welcoming atmosphere. Customer service was top notch as well.

Miami Spice also includes Nautral Juices: left Mango, right Passion Fruit
Andrea D.

WoW. Cuban food. This place rocks, no wonder it is so popular. They have a separate menu for their Miami Spice months. But I got to peak at their regular menu and there's nothing regular about it. It is vast. There are so many options. Beef, Pork, Seafood.. Combinations. Make sure you save some room for dessert also! Don't forget the cafe. It might take the rest of my lifetime to try a little bit of everything from there. First they start you out with a basket of mini cuban breads. It's a trap. Only eat 1 and save yourself for the rest of your meal. I ate three and I could not make it to dessert. In this Miami Spice, drinks were included. We opted for their Naturale Juices. The mango and passion fruit were so good. Not too sweet either but bright. So good! For apps, I tried their Croquetas Basket which came with 2 Ham, 2 Chorizo, and 2 Chicken croquetas. Delish. I took a ham croqueta and smushed it in one of those cuban breads to make a mini croqueta sandwich - try it. We also got the Maraquitas - a classic staple. The garlic oil that comes with it is garlicky and salty, so good. For entree, I got the Arroz Imperial which to me is a delicacy because I don't have it often. It's literally rice and mayonaise with chicken, but this version came with ham. Then, there's a thick top layer of cheese that's been baked. It is a carbohydrate heaven. So good. We also got to sample the Fish Chicharrones which isn't crispy like the chips - but moreover like a fried fish. It comes with an side of rice, so we paired it with black rice and beans. YUM. I love this place.

Lately I have been loving to explore the different Cuban spots Miami has to offer. . My friend recommended Havana Harry. For some reason, I have never tried out this spot. I was really blown away by Havana Harry's ! The service was excellent. The food was fresh. The menu was detailed and had all the categories. Let's take a minute and talk about the Portions ! The portion sizes are good for 3 meals for one one person. Very reasonable prices. Easy parking . The food was so good. Overall nice vibe . And clean. Definitely coming back here again !

Tostones Lechoncita Ham Croqueta
Dominic D.

Good Cuban food if you're in the area. The croquetas are decent and the tostones are good. Parking is not the best. Ambiance is okay but could be better. Service is good and people are friendly.

Chocolate Bomb
Jazzmina B.

Kevin our waiter was really nice, detailed, and helpful. He explained the menu well and gave suggestions. Kevin made sure we had everything we needed and checked on use throughout the dinner. I find this restaurant on the Miami Spice website. The dinner was $45, which included a drink, appetizer, entree, and dessert. I had the shrimp for appetizer and salmon for the entree. Both in my opinion were a little too oily. For dessert I had the chocolate bomb, which was good. Additionally, parking was a little tricky but I got luck and found a spot.

Rice and plantains

I love Vacation Frita and this place does it right!! My meal was perfect. Flavorful, hot and fresh. Service was great. It was a bit loud in the restaurant, but everyone was having a great time with family and friends while enjoying their meal.

The portion is HUGE, the prices are amazing, and the chicken is so tender and flavorful that even the breast is juicy... and we ALL know chicken breast loves to disappoint! I haven't even tried the sandwiches yet, but every time I look around, somebody has one, so clearly they know something I don't! The whole experience is what makes this place special though. Live music, great drinks that actually have FLAVOR, generous portions, and such a fun atmosphere. I love sitting outside in the back with the fans going and the band playing. For a minute, you really feel like you've been transported somewhere else and you forget you're sitting in the middle of Miami. The service is quick and gets the job done, but I HAVE to shout out the man running the front! I don't know his name, but if you've been here on a busy weekend, you know EXACTLY who I'm talking about. Phone, walkie talkie, iPad, reservations, people everywhere... and somehow he's running the whole circus like a boss! Shoutout to the bartenders, cooks & servers too because everybody back there is WORKING! Old's Havana is already a tourist favorite, but coming from a local, I'd eat here every other day if I could. Come experience the sounds, energy & flavors of Little Havana for yourself! And when you sit down and start looking at that menu... remember this review. GET. THE. CHICKEN!!! (P.S Once I find the picture of it in my phone I will update the review) ¡Buen provecho!

Sure there's some (2 or 3?) outdoor tables but it's usually either raining or too humid to be outside. On the slim chance you can sit inside, there are two tables and a long bar where they make the food (read: lots of smoke, noise and uncomfortable seating). In my last visit, sitting at the bar, I was informed there is a no-laptop policy. Cool, I get it--you don't want people camping in. So I take out my phone to check emails and I receive dirty looks from the staff. Whatever, but the worst thing was that the croquetas I ordered were absolutely atrocious. They tasted weirdly fishy, like bad recycled oil. The pastelitos looked a bit sad and over baked so I passed on them. It was stranger because on my first ever visit the croquetas were fine but this time-- I gagged. The coffee is fine but the rest is overhyped.

The ropa vieja was very savory and the avocado cream was very zesty/citrus which helped cut down some of the richness of the dish. My only note would be to give some more avocado cream since there were only 2 little dollops. The Arroz Con Pollo was excellent! Super flavorful and I could eat this everyday and be happy. The tomatoes and olives add that extra bit of acidity which was perfect.

Unfortunately, today was by far the worst experience I've had here. I stopped in around 8:30 AM and ordered a beef empanada, only to be told they didn't have any. No problem, so I asked for a breakfast sandwich instead. The cashier then informed me they didn't have eggs either. Mind you, it's 8:30 in the morning! I ended up ordering croquetas and toast. At that point, I jokingly asked, "Do you at least have bread?" The cashier smirked and said yes. Considering this is primarily a sandwich spot, I would certainly hope so! I mentioned that, given the inconvenience, it would have been a nice gesture to offer something to make up for the experience. The cashier said he couldn't do that. When I asked if I could speak with a manager, his response was, "No, there's no manager. He's probably still sleeping." Honestly, I was shocked by that response. As a business owner myself, I understand that things run out and unexpected situations happen. That's not my issue. My issue is how those situations are handled. Someone should be available to address customer concerns, especially during business hours. Offering a small gesture to a customer, whether new or someone who visits regularly, isn't required, but it certainly goes a long way. It's not about getting something for free. It's about showing appreciation and making customers feel valued. I've always enjoyed coming here, which is why today's experience was so disappointing. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because customer service is just as important as the food.

You can't beat having a fake cocaine brick (at least I think) sitting at your table amidst the menus and drinks. They have regular silverware but do use plastic cups that gives off that relaxed, casual vibe. There are several craft beers from all over the country available from $7-10, and I believe a couple house wines. I think the nicest drink you can get is a frozen lemonade or fruit punch. It comes virgin and a little sugary, a little coarsely icy, a lot refreshing. But you can ask for a shot of rum to be added to it. I could drink 3 of those if I allowed myself to! I have tried friends' Cuban dishes, like yuca fries, tostones, rice and beans, which have all been standardly good. But I always get drawn to the Greek menu and end up ordering the plates. The plates are huge and come stacked with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, a beautifully dressed salad, tzatziki, hummus and pita slices. You have a choice of side, and I have unashamedly ordered the crispy, crunchy fries each time and have plenty to share. The proteins are clearly made freshly---the falafel is crisp and the chicken kebab is well seasoned and moist. However, they come up with creative and tasty offerings as well. The Cuban Sandwich Empanadas are stuffed with juicy pulled pork, ham and melty cheese for a snack you didn't realized you had been waiting for. The Greek egg rolls blows my mind and are a great hot, greasy, juicy, meaty treat. The servers are typically on it when it comes to orders and whatever you need. Owner Adrian keeps his staff on point, and JJ is always a friendly face when we go. They inform us at the time to pay (at least in my experience) that 18% gratuity is automatically added to the check, so the tip page is for any additional gratuity.

Unlike the old Cuban cafeterias, they do have a cocktail menu. I've enjoyed their chocolate martini and coconut mojito ("muddled smuggler"). Smuggler's is open late, until around 3 or 4AM, and located right across from a famous Wynwood club. I've stopped an couple of times, and enjoyed from both their Greek and Cuban menus. Their pollo a la plancha right with the cebollitas (chicken breast) is sizeable and well seasoned with the citrusy garlicky goodness of mojo. The palomilla steak another friend ordered was just as well seasoned. My croquetas had the look and taste of homemade (actual texture of the breading). As far as sides, definitely try the hummus and the black bean soup. They also have moros - the mixed black beans & rice.

The atmosphere is casual and relaxed and sitting outside is quite enticing, depending on the weather. I've always found the service to be great as well. It is located in a beautiful, walkable area in Coconut Grove. The only downside being that parking can be difficult and expensive, but still worth it. I've had several dishes at Chug's, have enjoyed all of them but would only classify the cast iron pancake as being outstanding. I would recommend that anyone who goes here try it, as it is perfectly balanced sweetness and butter with a cornbread-like texture. The only issue may be that it is quite large for just a couple. The pan con bistec is flavorful and their fries are perfectly cooked. The side salad is worthwhile as well if you're into those, as a light alternative to fries. The cuban american sandwich was surprisingly interesting to me. At first I was disappointed because it is not on Cuban bread. However, I found it to be delicious because it is well built and the ingredients go well together. I would not say that the meats are necessarily high quality, but the flavor is there. Lastly, and unfortunately, I find the colada here to be repulsive. It does not taste like a colada. Tastes like minerals and metal and why do they serve it in a glass without a handle? I don't understand it. Overall, I highly recommend this place for a pleasant, value-oriented dining experience in Coconut Grove.

Lots of Yelpers hyped up the outdoor patio, but we came during a massive thunderstorm so we didn't…read moreget to check it out. The inside is cute also! We started with the goat cheese croquettes, which were delicious! The marmalade went well, and the pickles onions and jalapeños cut the richness and were a nice complement. Husband had the Masa de Puerco chino and loved it. Big tender chunks of pork, super flavorful. I had the abuela's ropa vieja, and it was perfect. I don't even usually like plantains, and the Maduros were delicious! Oh! And the Passion lemonade was SO GOOD!! Service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Loved everything about the experience, and we're hoping to get back while we're in Miami!

We came here for dinner on our first night in Miami. We made reservations but it said outdoor patio…read morewasn't available. Regardless when we arrived they sat us outside which is exactly what we were hoping for. Our server was nice at first. Explained all the popular dishes got our drinks out very quickly. 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.
