If you need a tasty and quick bite not far from Miami International Airport, look no further that Kuba Kitchen! While waiting for my mom's delayed flight to come in, I decided to pop over to this quaint cuban restaurant about 2 miles from thr airport. The outside definitely could use a touch up but the inside was clean, inviting and nice for a casual night out. I didnt end up ordering a drink and ordered a Ropa Vieja. This came with a choice of 2 sides, of which there are plenty of options. I ended up picking the Yuca fries and black bean rice. The Ropa Vieja was packed with flavor and the yuck fries were perfectly crispy without them being overcooked inside. The black bean rice was the perfect compliment to balance it out. I was able to fill up on one dish by myself for dinner, so you'd likely need one dish per person. The Levhin Asada was highly reccomended as well! I was happy with the price for the meal as I felt like they were priced perfectly and felt like a good value. The staff was incredibly friendly and were only ever genuinely smiling! I will definitely be back on future visits to Miami! read more

If I could give them a negative 100 I would. We travelled all the way from Seattle and I chose them out of many restaurants around because of the reviews and it looks like a family owned restaurant. We sat down and a lady in glasses took our order. We didn't even ask for it recommendations and she recommended two things and literally forced us to order one and we did. It was the A lo Guijio natural and it literally tasted worse than the Costco chicken. And she told me I should order the other shredded beef thing she recommended and I said no. I want to try a Cuban sandwich and there were several on the menu. I specifically told her I wanted the steak sandwich and pointed to number one and the brought out the el kubano sandwich which was number 2. When I raised my concern she argued with me and said I ordered that one and was giving me full attitude. Please do yourself a favor and don't come there. I don't know what other people are saying but I guarantee you food suck and service is even more terrible. Go somewhere else and maybe pay a little more or even the same to make sure you get what you order and probably way better food. DO NOT go here and have your day ruined like mine. She recommender chicken is below, as you can see: tiny, dry, and absolutely nothing special. read more

If you're going to have a name like Kuba "Cuba" kitchen then it needs to be good. This is a disgrace to Cuban food! The chicken was so dry it P*ssed me off. The Miami bowl was just BAD. The steak was hard to chew. Didn't come with the cilantro sauce. The rice was dry as well. The beans and the yuca were the only edible items. Look @ the Tres Leche cake --- DRY everything DRY. Stay away from this place. Save your coins. Ordered this from Uber spent $70, on two people. UNF*CKING REAL. read more

We were visiting from New York for a long weekend and wanted some authentic Cuban food. Yelped this place because it was close to the casino and boy did we land on a jackpot! The food 10 out of 10 the service 100 out of 10 Big shouts out to Wendy our server who was the perfect addition to our wonderful experience in this establishment. The Cuban coffee was some of the best I've ever had and we all had entrées from the lunch special Menu which came with a soup or salad. Even the small portion of chicken noodle soup that came with my entrée was flavorful and delicious. We will definitely be back to this restaurant and hopefully Wendy would be able to take care of us because it felt like we were in her home! Go here!!! read more

I ordered food to go and my order was completed fairly quickly. The inside looks quite welcoming and staff were fairly nice. The prices were decent and the quantity was good, but unfortunately the food was all quite bland. I ordered the granjero bowl without beans and a side of fried yuca. The chicken and maduros were dry, the rice was alright, and the yuca was completely bland. Not an ounce of salt in that yuca. read more

Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you. Kuba Kitchen is an absolute gem. While the location may seem a little sketch at first, inside diners will find a clean, welcoming dining room. Our waitress/hostess was kind and attentive, so we felt good about making our choice to have lunch here. The food is fabulous. The El Kubano sandwich with pork, Swiss cheese, mustard and pickles was very delish and the Cuban Coffee was the perfect pick me up. Rich, not bitter. There is limited parking in their lot but you can also park along the street. Expect a short walk for the latter. Highly recommend! read more

Friendly staff, my friend and I both had the Cuban Sandwich which had fresh ham and cheeses and tastey pickles but the bread was amazing, very fresh and flavorful! We also had their beef empanadas which were not greasy. Well stuffed with spiced ground beef. read more

Stumbled upon this restaurant and everything was so delicious and the staff were nice. I had a bowl and I love how they cut up the plantains and the steak into cubes, so tender. Their fried cheese was so good too. Great ambience, not too loud or quiet. read more

Came here straight from the airport because we should have Cuban food in Miami! Very cute place with sweet service. We ordered the appetizer platter but they were out of a couple items so had the tostones instead which were giant! I was full after eating my one and a half tostada so probably good we didn't the app platter. Roast pork was moist especially since it was a loin. Happy to have started with Cuban! read more

I consider my self well qualified in Cuban cuisine, and I am happy to report that their food is magnificent. I have to say I have never had black beans prepared as well as this restaurant, they were seasoned perfectly and cooked to perfection. The Masitas de puerco was also excellent and better than I have had in a very long time. This is a must try place in my opinion! read more

We lived each of the 4 different entrees we ordered, & also loved the juices they offer. The service by Melissa was supremely fantastic! We would eat there on a weekly basis if we lived in the area. Regarding the ambulance, the inside had great music also. It was not very loud so that we could talk with each other very easily. read more

Kuba Kitchen - The vibe! - Cuban Near Me - Miami, Florida

A friend and I stopped by for the first time and left disappointed. We briefly went inside to look around (no on greeted us), then chose to sit outside since it was a beautiful evening and the patio looked inviting. Before sitting down, my friend confirmed with the hostess that it was okay for us to sit there, and she said it was fine. We sat outside for 30 to 45 minutes and were never acknowledged. No greeting, no water, no offer of drinks or food. Nothing. Being ignored for that long makes guests feel unwelcome. Basic hospitality was completely missing. I won't be returning and would not recommend this place based on the lack of customer service. read more

Smaller, intimate, casual restaurant that had a great Cuban Sandwich, tasty black beans, and a rich, bold Cortadito. Had some other delicious alcoholic drink they recommended, but can't remember the name. Service was very friendly and prices were reasonable, especially considering how overpriced Miami is. read more

Absolutely delicious food. I got the tostones with pork that is normally am appetizer for dinner and they were very good. We also got the fried cheese appetizer and loved the cheese and quava sauce. My husband got the roast pork with rice and plantains and he was very happy with his meal. read more

This place is amazing! 5 minutes from Miami airport for authentic Cuban cuisine. Try the pork, it is melt in your mouth. We'll be back.

The place is nice, great music and the El Kubano sandwich was delicious. The Lechon Asado was also delicious. The waitress was super nice. We traveled from LA for a nice meal and they didn't disappoint. Oh and we ordered the fried yuca fries and they were not greasy. Great taste. I would recommend this restaurant. read more

If I was walking down the road and didn't know how good this place was I would have walked right by. I was so happy we stopped and opened the door. Friendly and fast service.

Kuba Kitchen - Neat corner. - Cuban Near Me - Miami, Florida

I was in the area and wanted to get some Cuban food nearby. There were so many little places around that looked awesome, but we ended up choosing this one in part because it seemed like they had some happy hour drink specials. And they did! Although, it wasn't that great of a deal and we had to ask to find out about it. When we entered, there was only 1 other set of people dining, but that didn't bother us. We ordered an appetizer sampler and this was definitely the way to go! I loved trying all the different savory bites. It included 2 croquetas, one empanada, Cuban tamal, tostones topped with sofrito pork, fried cheese, and fried yuquita. The real winner here was the tostones, which were shaped into little cups, with this soft delicious pork inside- such a great mix of slightly sweet plantains with pork inside, and the soft meat with the crunchy cup - YUM! This platter was perfect for sharing, so we also shared one entree along with our drinks, and this was more than enough for 2. The beans and rice as sides were definitely good. Thank you to our server, who was prompt, refilled our drinks often, and was also helpful. read more

We were seated quickly which was great for Friday night. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and explained the entire menu to us. Food was great and portions were good for the price. Only issue was the credit card fee. It's only $1.50 but it would have been nice to know. read more

Disappointed with the food and the overall experience. I ordered ropa vieja ($17). Ridiculously small portions. The main dish came out cold but the side dishes were hot. The sandwich we ordered had aluminum foil bits stuck on the bottom part of the bread. We were lucky we caught it before eating it and just took it off. It came with fries as a side too but it was mostly chopped up tiny bits, similar to what you would find at the bottom of a frozen french fries bag. The silverware and plates had some residue on them as well which we were able to wipe off with the napkin. The servers seemed nice but I would not come back or recommend this place. read more

So my sister and I went on a cruise. We got there a day early to rest up and wanted to get something to eat. We asked the front desk and they recommended Kuba Kitchen. So we took an Uber about 7min, got there it was small, quiet and lovely all in one. The inside was clean and staff was polite, friendly and just overall AWESOME. The food had no equal, the service was over perfect. I've mentioned to my sister on our next trip, I know where I'm coming to eat and perhaps find a hotel in walking distance. Love, love-love and super recommend the Kuba Kitchen. read more

In town after disembarking from a cruise but staying overnight to catch flights in the morning. Found this little place with some great reviews and decided to give it a try. Maria, our hostess, was super friendly and helped us choose items we would like. The mojitos were refreshing and tasty. We had the quesito frito and the frituras de malanga, as appetizers, which were super tasty. My friends ordered the Cubano sandwich, the pollo a la plancha, and the camarones al ajillo which they all raved about. I had the pollo en salsa de champiñones and it was delicious. Would definitely come here again if I am ever in Miami. read more

Hidden Gem I discovered on the way to the airport. Delicious and fresh cocktails and Juices. The guava mojito was amazingly yummy! We tried the soup, skirt steak sandwich and Cubano sandwich. All were great and would definitely be back. Strange tho they included the tip automatically - I guess they didn't believe we would leave a tip? read more

Melissa was our server and came over often to check on our table, and was so helpful and friendly. She recommended the Ropa Vieja, it was DIVINE. I got a side of the rice cooked with beans, and poured the Ropa Vieja juice over the rice, which was a delicious trick that you have to try. The flavor of the dish was extraordinary. The restaurant was clean and had great vibes. Every dish our table ordered was delectable. 10/10. No dissatisfaction or disappointment. I'm so glad we came. read more
