Overall good taste but some of the food can be seasoned a lil more!

They had that nice grilled flavor and we really enjoyed them. The chicken lasagna also caught our attention because I don't think I've seen that very often at this type of restaurant. Of course we had to try it, and we liked it! What I also liked about this place is that it doesn't feel like your typical quick rotisserie chicken spot. It's still casual, but the seating and overall atmosphere feel a little more elevated, so you can actually sit down and enjoy your meal. Service was quick and friendly, and it has a nice family atmosphere. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm craving rotisserie chicken, especially for those grilled veggies!

It sets the tone for a dining experience that feels special. The chicken is outstanding, honestly some of the best I've had in Miami. Unfortunately my chicken arrived a cold, and when I asked them to warm it up, it dried out slightly. That said, the staff handled my request with grace and the service throughout was impeccable, warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. What truly sets this place apart is the fresh juice menu. A wide variety of natural juices is a rare find in Miami, and I loved that. Add to that the lively atmosphere with screens for soccer matches, and you have a place that delivers on every level. Excellent value for the quality. Highly recommend, go hungry and enjoy every bite.

I'd describe it as flavorful, slow stewed beef topped with a moist, slightly sweet cornbread. It was hearty, comforting, and surprisingly delicious. I ended up finishing the entire dish since I wasn't sharing the other plates with the group. About halfway through, I felt like it needed a little something extra, and our server suggested trying their mashed limo pepper. Fair warning, it's spicy! It added the perfect kick and really elevated the flavors of the dish. Our server was incredibly attentive throughout the meal and made the experience even better. I'd definitely recommend CVI.CHE 105 for an elevated dinner, date night, or special occasion.

The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the service was quite delayed.

I completely understand restaurants can get busy, but a little more attentiveness would have made the experience much better.

I loved the restaurant decor and everyone was so friendly. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and gave great menu recommendations.

I also had a Hennessy and pineapple mixed drink along with the Cuban fried rice. Again, everything was okay, but nothing really stood out or made me think, "I need to come back for this." Overall, great service and a beautiful atmosphere, but for me, the food just didn't live up to the rest of the experience.

We found that it was the 1st Puerto Rican restaurant established in Miami in 1974. So it's been around 52 years and survived covid shut downs. Says a lot about how much the community loves it too. The service was great. The server was able to easily answer any questions about the menu. The food came out from the kitchen quickly and we started to feast. We ordered the Beef Alcapurias(fried masa). It's was great. My spouse who doesn't eat a variety of foods tried it and absolutely loved it. My sister ordered theGrilled Pork with Aroz con Gondules & a Pastele. My spouse had the Aroz con Gondules. I ordered the Chicharones de Pollo & Aroz con Gondules(double side). The portions were generous and delicious. I was even able to order a Pastele to go and eat it later with one of my sides of rice. We couldn't believe how affordable the lunch was when the bill came. We were all pleasantly surprised with the experience. And highly recommend this establishment if you are looking for an authentic Puerto Rican meal. We can't wait to go back for more!
