In Miami Beach, a trip isn't complete without a piping hot Cuban meal!…read more Palomilla Steak This is it on the oval plate! It's a classic Cuban thinly sliced ​​steak, marinated in a special mojo sauce and seared to perfection. The generous topping of roasted onions is the soul of the dish; be sure to eat it with the steak--the savory, tender flavor is incredibly satisfying! Seafood Lobster This steaming hot dish is a seafood feast! Its vibrant color is immediately appealing. It's packed with ingredients: large shrimp, sweet clams, and plump mussels. The rice absorbs the seafood's umami flavor, turning an enticing golden color. Before eating, remember to squeeze on the caramelized roasted lemon juice; the lemon's tang instantly elevates the dish's freshness, making every bite a taste of the island!

Good for cuban food but takes advantage of being in a tourist trap area. Overpriced automatically…read morecharges 20% gratuity and all the available surcharges legally possible. Service is ok waitress was friendly but doing their job for the company to max out their profits. Ambiance is what you expect of all the south beach locations seemingly an extension of Havana if you been there. I would rank as 4 stars for the food but downgrade because they added a lot of random stuff to the menu just to get those who dont know real cuban food to eat there such as burgers and pasta lol. It would get 5 stars if they were authentic trying to offer strictly cuban only and reasonably priced. Because they take advantage of tourist and are here just for the money I lowered it to 3.

Growing up this was my favorite restaurant and the Cuban restaurant that resembles my grandmas…read morecooking the most. The enchilada de camaron was and still is my favorite. I hadn't been in years and I wanted Cuban food so we came Sunday afternoon to satisfy my craving. We started with the fritura de malanga. Definitely not what I was used to eating growing up, so it was disappointing when we got it, but the taste was good. Also had the ensalada de aguacate. Avocado was great and enough for three people to share. My mom had the arroz con pollo à la chorrera. This was huge!!! Definitely enough for two people to eat. I had the enchilada de camaron and it was just like I remember it from my childhood. So flavorful and a big portion of shrimps. There's parking behind the restaurant but the spaces are a little tight. The inside is spacious with lots of seating and great for large parties. Everything was great except for the service. He was not attentive whatsoever, was just standing around talking to the other waiters instead of checking on our table. We had to call him over a few times for things we needed because he would not pass by our table unless we called him over. This is a great restaurant for Cuban food and I always recommend it to people. It's a shame the customer service is lacking.

We've been coming to Trigo Café for years, and it has become one of our family's favorite places…read more Julio, one of the owners, always makes us feel so welcomed and truly treats everyone like family. Our favorite time to visit is Sunday brunch, especially since they have a special menu. We recently came for Father's Day, and even though Julio was celebrating as a father himself, he was working incredibly hard to make sure every guest had a great experience. You can really see how much heart and dedication he pours into his business. As expected on Father's Day, there was a bit of a wait, especially since we were a larger party, but none of us minded. To thank us for our patience, Julio generously brought out croquetas for the table on the house, which was such a thoughtful gesture. I can't recommend Trigo Café enough. The food is consistently excellent, the service is warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere feels like home. While brunch is our favorite, their lunch and dinner are just as great, and the new tapas and wine area they recently added is a fantastic addition. If you haven't been, you're missing out!

A Miami classic for Cuban comfort food…read more Stopped by Versailles and ordered the **Rabo Encendido (Oxtail Stew)**. The oxtail was tender and slow-cooked to perfection, with the meat falling right off the bone. The sauce was rich, savory, and full of deep flavor, making it the perfect comfort food. Every bite felt hearty and satisfying, especially paired with the traditional sides. Service was efficient and professional, even with how busy the restaurant was. The staff kept things moving smoothly while still making guests feel welcomed. The vibe is lively and full of history. You can feel why Versailles is such an iconic Miami institution, with a constant buzz of locals and visitors enjoying classic Cuban dishes. It feels like a place you have to experience at least once when visiting Miami. Overall, a delicious meal and a great introduction to traditional Cuban cuisine. If you're looking for a hearty, flavorful dish, the Rabo Encendido is definitely worth ordering.

Located right outside of Westland Mall facing the parking lot next to H & M…read more Lots to look at and admire. Loved the lighting fixtures and the murals on the walls. Great music and friendly staff. What we ordered- Croquetas 10/10 - Soft creamy inside and lightly crispy on the outside. Drizzled with a aioli style sauce. (In my opinion)the croquetas were so good they didn't need any sauce. Churassco w/ white rice, black beans and plantains 10/10 ohh this is everything a churassco should be. Juicy, tender and cooked full of so much flavor. The rice was perfect not sticky just perfectly fluffy and not oily and the beans are exactly what I always hope to be served at any Cuban restaurant. Absolutely delicious and full of so much flavor. I mean if they told me Abuela had made them I would totally believe it. Chefs kiss The hubs ordered the Picanha with morro rice and plantains 10/10 No crumbs or grains of rice was left on his plate! Absolutely delicious Needless to say this place is an absolute must! Definitely will be back

I came by their new location in Westland Mall today since I was shopping and I was hungry. However,…read morewith slow service and nickel and diming (18 percent automatic tip) and smallish portions I don't think I'll be back. Having had a quick workday lunch and walked around the mall, I had worked up an appetite. I was seated in a corner table for two and my order was taken. The restaurant did not seem that crowded even for a Friday night but it felt like a long wait. Unlike many Cuban places, they don't offer complimentary bread. I ordered their "platanos a tentacion" (bacon wrapped sweet plantains), grilled chicken and moros. The rice was a little hard and the chicken breast on the small side and barely seasoned other than the onions garnishing it. Service didn't feel very attentive for me as a solo diner. Between finishing my dinner and waiting to order either dessert or cafecito, I also sat and waited until a waitress finally came by. At that point, I just got the coffee and my check. I don't believe I was offered a printed receipt, just the card terminal. I asked if the tip was included and pretty much in time when I was putting the usual tip (trying to be generous with 20 percent) I was told that it was a service charge, and that the tip was extra, but had full amounts starting with 18%. So basically I paid 30% tip for a small portion of food and inattentive service. Looking back, I see that this restaurant had a different name and I had enjoyed dinner at their other location six years back. It's disappointing to see how it has fallen off. As it were, a lot of the original creative items on the menu are no longer being offered.

Although I'm no where near perfect I still needed a little help from Google translate lol my chicken plwte was very flavorful. I also ordered boiled yucca that came late so not in the pictures. My sister had the bistec and fell in love with it. Unfortunately I didn't like the churros at all. I think the dough was possibly old because it tasted off. I've never had a churro that I never liked. I think I may have caught them on a bad day. The servers were okay. Not too friendly but maybe they were tired. Restaurant was pretty clean and very casual.

We saw La Romanita next door and went to grab a bite since the food trucks weren't open yet. We sat outside because the weather was nice and they have fans to keep the air flowing nicely.
