Some were thirst and some were hungry, so I suggested we try this place. We didn't have a reservation but it was early evening. We were able to get a table for 5 quick. It's a nice place, felt classy. Luckily we came in looking classy. Our server was a nice guy. He took our orders, including my Mai Tai which was off menu. We also ordered different bites for the table. I got a tamale and also the croquetas. Both were very good, and the Mai Tai was perfect. It's got a touristy energy, a little overly Cuban. But honestly its probably not noticeable unless your from South Florida. The waiter was able to take orders and conversate in Spanish and English which was good for our table. It's a nice spot for bites and drinks. We are sure to hit here again soon.

Service was good, they cook it to order. I can tell, the mariquita chips that come with the sandwich tasted fresh and not stale like other places. Sandwich was a winner. Perfectly toasted bread, good meat portions. Ambiance inside is pretty nice. I'd enjoy eating there or more takeout. Glad to have discovered this esquina

Their Cuban bread before the meal is one of those small details people remember, and they serve way more than just pork -- the menu is loaded with classic Cuban comfort food. During the lunch rush, parking can definitely turn into a mission, especially around noon, but getting there early makes a huge difference and there's usually plenty of parking available. The service is top notch.

Versailles is a Miami staple for a reason. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this iconic…read morespot belongs on your must-try list. The menu is extensive, offering so many authentic Cuban favorites that it can be hard to decide what to order. I've been here multiple times, and honestly, I haven't had a single dish that I didn't enjoy. Everything I've tried has been flavorful, satisfying, and worth coming back for. The restaurant is spacious with plenty of seating, so even though it's popular, it does a great job accommodating guests. The lively atmosphere adds to the overall experience and gives you a true taste of Miami's Cuban culture. Don't leave without stopping by the bakery next door! It's the perfect way to end your meal, with an incredible selection of pastries, desserts, coffee, and other sweet treats. Even if you're already full, it's worth grabbing something to enjoy later. Great food, generous portions, a rich history, and an authentic atmosphere--Versailles continues to be one of my favorite places to visit whenever I'm in Miami.

Versailles in Little Havana continues to be a Miami classic that's well worth a visit. Today I went…read morewith my husband and son, and despite how incredibly busy the restaurant was, we had an excellent experience. My husband ordered the picadillo with rice and black beans, my son had the vaca frita with rice and black beans, and both enjoyed a side of tostones. I chose the rionada with congrí and sweet plantains. Overall, the food was delicious, flavorful, and satisfying. The only disappointment was the tostones. They were a bit bland and not as crispy as we prefer. Everything else, however, was excellent. The service was outstanding; friendly, attentive, and efficient, even with the restaurant packed. Every area was bustling, from the dining room to the bakery and takeout counters, yet everything seemed well organized. The restaurant itself was clean and very well maintained. To finish our meal, the three of us shared a flan, and it was absolutely delicious; the perfect ending to a wonderful meal. I have to admit, we were enjoying our conversation so much that I completely forgot to take pictures! That's probably a good sign that we were too busy enjoying the food and each other's company. Versailles remains one of Miami's iconic Cuban restaurants, and it's definitely a place worth visiting. We'll certainly be back.

Wow. That was awesome. Really great atmosphere, too…read more My only complaint is that the Piña Colada had like 1/3rd of the glass filled with whipped cream, which I removed cuz I can't stand it. Great drink though... extra $3 for Bacardi? Go for it! And the wife says that her Mojito is probably one of the best 3 she's ever had in her life. I got some Spanish White Bean soup that was really good. My wife's OxTail arrived shortly afterward... I thought it was mostly very good. I really like the preparation, except much of it was pretty chewy instead of soft. My Churrasco was one of the best I've ever had. That wasn't chewy at all. Cooked medium rare, it was incredibly soft with great chimichurri. The maduros were great, wife loves the white rice, and one of my favorite things, believe it or not, was the black beans. It's exactly what you would get if you ordered the Black Bean Soup, which surprised me, but it's so damned awesome, why not? I really liked the servers, too... nice personalities, and helpful in general. If I lived here, no doubt I would be back!

Food -- The food portions can be "abuela" approved. All plates come with 2 sides, which are all very shareable. From dining in to ordering cantina to-go, the food never disappoints. It's always fresh, savory and hands-down delicious. Service -- From the cafecito at the ventanita to the dining in, the service is always friendly and courteous, as it should be. Ambiance -- It's located inside a dated strip mall that needs much refurbishing but the restaurant inside is clean and ample.

Guess we came at a good time cause later we did see more people come in. For starters, the staff here were all so professional and welcoming. Shoutout to MARIA for being the sweetest! Great recommendations from her. I loved the food so much. Mix ceviche -- so refreshing and loved the variety Jalea Bocas house (fried shrimp, fried fish, fried yuca fries) -- a little bit of everything and fried perfectly. Paired with the sauces. Skirt and fettuccine -- cooked as I requested (medium). Packed with flavor. SO FREAKING GOOD. Arroz cremoso de aji Amarillo with lomo saltado -- unique dish that worked so well. Recommend! Spicy margarita -- best drink here. Mezcal mule -- my mom and I didn't really like it because it was too smoky. Maria was kind enough to swap it out for us with another spicy margarita and didn't charge for the mezcal mule. Love the ambiance. They have daily promos on some of their items so be sure to check it out. I highly recommend this spot. 10/10

The service was slow understandable because Of the holiday. My husband and I ordered the pescado macho, was awful they just put 2 shrimp 3 mussels and some Octopus, then they put a piece of fried fish that was cut in half on top barely no sauce and the rice was hard. The ceviche was ok we have had better there. They kept trying to fill us up with the corn, that personally gave me a stomach ache. Not a good experience.
