The new management or owners have done an amazing job. The portions are huge and the quality is superb. We had the lentil soup and it was loaded with meat. My wife had the lamb and she truly enjoyed it, I had the Oxtail with rice and beans, and it was amazing, and so much. I'll be swinging by more often. Congratulations to the new cheff! And the service was outstanding!

Raw churrasco
Lisbeth C.

THE ABSOLUTE WORST EXPERIENCE! I ordered the churrasco with white rice and beans and vaca frita through Postmates. When the food arrived I took one bite from the steak and realized it was RAW!! The steak wasn't even hot! I ordered the steak medium rare, but it seems as if the chefs didn't know how to properly cook a steak, or they just decided to give me the steak from the freezer. The rice and beans tasted very old and hard! Disgusting. This experience only resulted in me not trusting the food quality and restaurant ! ZERO STARS! Do not order !

Breaded Chicken Breast
Jabari S.

I don't like writing bad reviews but unfortunately I have to for this place. I haven't had a terrible dinner in a while but this was bad. I ordered the breaded chicken with moros and plantains and every part of my meal was bad. My rice tasted old and hard. The plantains were cold not fresh at all. The breaded chicken was greasy and falling apart before I even touched it. The breading was falling off the chicken when it came. I wouldn't recommend this place to anybody. Even my wife's meal was bad she had the roasted pork.

This place served a Cuban culinary foods the owner Ricardo have give us a great attention. My mom was very pleasure

Being Cuban, I always tend to be more critical of my food when dining in a Cuban restaurant. There are certain must haves and must do's when it comes to what can be considered as "good Cuban food". This place is good for a fast meal if you're on the go and just want something other than fast food. They have a fine in option and you can call it in for pick up as well. It's conveniently placed right off of the turnpike, so if you live down south you can just stop and pick it up and continue on your journey. The food is good, not great. I would consider it to be Cuban fast food. The beans aren't made from scratch, I can tell they are from a can and then just seasoned. And the food has flavor, but definitely not the most flavorful the way Cuban food should be. The service is mediocre, nothing above average or great. The establishment was clean and they had music on and several large TVs which were showing the current basketball game that evening, the food did come out in a timely manner and everything came out correct. However, this place for sandwiches is great! If you like classic Cuban sandwiches (Cuban sandwich, Miami sandwich, media noche, etc.) this is a must if you're in the area and want something along those lines. Definitely ether than a Sergio's or La carreta by far. They have their own sandwich maker which has his own stand in the center of the bar/wait staff prep area. But it gets 3 stars because I had an entree, not a sandwich. And the entree was merely average.

Oxtail plate

The food was authentic Cuban dishes . The fish soup was amazing. We could not fish the Cuban sandwich with lots of meat. Our server Angie was outstanding, they have customer service button on each table.

We stopped in for lunch on our way to the zoo. The hostess and server were very friendly and helpful. We had conch fritters, medianoche & Cuban sandwiches, arroz con pollo. It was all delicious and fast!

Spanish Omelette is enough for two people with medium shrimp, house potatoes, chorizo, ham, and onions inside.

We also ordered the Versailles Combo Appetizer which includes a beef empanada, a chicken empanada and a ham and cheese empanada. You also get the yucca fries with the cilantro sauce. And finally you get some croquettes. Not a huge fan of the croquettes here but they are OK. As previously mentioned, we have been here several time and on this trip, the hostess said if you want to be in the room of mirrors. What? I said OK and they took us to the back, where it is a, well... room of mirrors. The way she said it made me think, should I be concerned. But it was a big open area. The whole place is very nice. We love the large parking area because this place is packed most of the time. We actually came back and ordered another Cubano for the flight home. You should have seen the people looking at us while we ate our Cubano and they enjoyed their pretzel braids. :)

The shop is small with only the shared outdoor seating with other nearby restaurants. The Pan Con Bistec was very tasty and I liked the crispy bits inside. The flavor of the sauce could have been more pronounced but otherwise a really good sandwich. The Pan con Lechon was okay overall because it tasted very one note flavor and texture wise. The meat was moist and tender but I preferred the Bistec and the Cubano. They also provided a garlic dipping sauce which was very flavorful. However I felt that it overpowered a lot of the sandwich flavors. I also got the Mamey Batida which was smooth and subtle with its sweetness. My first time having a Batida and I really liked the consistency but will probably be choose a different flavor next time.

Our server was friendly throughout the evening and the food was pretty quick to come out. I didn't know before coming here but Cafe La Trova was listed on the Top 50 Bars of North America for 2026 and so I had to get the Buenavista drink which is highlighted as their award winner. Admittedly, I was let down by the drink. The balance was a bit off and overall I wasn't very impressed. However the food more than made up for it. 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. The live music also added to the ambiance and so if you're someone trying to get that local Miami/Cuban vibe, I think Cafe La Trova is it.

Living in Miami I knew service was going to be bad for the rest of the meal so for the first time ever we just got up and left. I left a 1 star review on Google Maps. The reason I'm leaving another one on Yelp is that they responded to the other review telling me to email them to continue the conversation. I did it 7 days ago and they completely ignored it which tracks at how customer service is handled here. I suspect the same thing will happen and I'll have to leave another review on a different platform. I think something happened at Cafe La Trova where they're now just some corporate entity that's cashing in on the goodwill of the brand but they will eventually run the business into the ground. No one is at home here.

I recently tried their iced Cuban coffee with sugar and milk, and it was such a delicious addition. The passion fruit juice is also fantastic. I finally tried the grilled lobster plate, and WOW, it did not disappoint. Honestly, you might need to walk around the block a few times afterward because everything is just THAT good, and you're going to finish every last bite. Puerto Sagua has been serving Miami Beach since 1968, and it is still standing strong, serving incredible Cuban food with so much character and history. Great service and love the open restaurant ambiance diner feel. If you're visiting Miami Beach, DO NOT skip this place. Come hungry and get a taste of this iconic Cuban American restaurant. And whatever you do, GET THE OXTAIL STEW!

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.
