    I was so happy to stumble on them gem. I love Cuban coffee and try to stick local. Real coffee. Real breakfast with REAL prices! I loved the sausage egg and cheese croissant with a Cuban coffee, dark and sweet cortatido. The ladies were so sweet .

    I've heard a lot about La Paris from my husband. He works downtown and eats here practically every day. It was about time I checked it out for myself to see what my nightly dinners were being compared to. If I wasn't with a regular, I definitely wouldn't have known where to go. The entrance is pretty nondescript, as is the inside. The "Paris" theme comes through via a few random photos and paintings of the Eiffel tower on the wall. Other than that, it's pretty much a lot of tables and chairs crammed into close quarters. It was packed, too! Ok, so why come here day after day? The food is pretty darn good and CHEAP. I was urged to order the vaca frita and you a choice of two sides between rice and beans (red or black), salad, vegetables, tostones, and maduros. I opted for rice and black beans, as well as salad. My better half got pollo a la plancha with vegetables and rice and red beans. We also got a fresh limonada with little sugar to sip on. All of this food was $19! And I had enough food to have leftovers the next day. Depending on what you order, you can be pretty healthy here, or go crazy and get other Cuban favorites like pollo empanizado or a medianoche. The rice, beans and meat were spot on (especially with some fresh lime). The salad I would pass on, but maybe get the veggies instead. Would I go out of my way to come here? No. However, it's definitely an easy, casual, and tasty option for my husband, so I'm fine leaving him in the friendly staff's hands day after day! Lord knows I certainly can't make vaca frita like that!

    This place is a hidden gem. The food is exactly what you would expect from a busy downtown cafeteria. Prices are great. Inside might be noisy but that's what you expect from a fast paced cafeteria that serves most of downtown.

    This restaurant is far from fancy. The lady who answers the phone is always rude, impatient, and with an attitude. I usually eat the chicken noodle soup when I'm sick or it's cold out. However, before I order, I ask if it's fresh.... I won't be eating from here ever again, disgusting, check out the discolored chicken!

During live performances, one waitress would get up on stage and play instruments and at other times bartenders would join in. I was truly smiling from ear to ear all night. I drank delicious mojitos all night and even with a packed venue the drinks came out extremely fast! Although the restaurant was packed, our waitress remained extremely kind and attentive throughout the night. To me, the food was just good. We had the Jamón Serrano Croquetas to start. They were a little cold for my taste and not the best I've ever had but they weren't bad. My husband really loved his skirt steak ropa vieja and didn't leave a single grain of rice. I opted for the rabo encendido pasta. I like that they weren't skimpy on the rabo. The downside of this place is that to maximize space, you're packed in like sardines. The tables are basically on top of each other. A larger sized person would not fit getting in and out of their seat and my husband was constantly backing up into the people seated behind him. Overall, this is a place you definitely visit for the atmosphere above food. I will 100% be coming back for drinks, appetizers and more live music. It is an incredible spot especially for those looking for Cuban nostalgia.

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.

This spot has been recreating 1950s Havana since 2010, right down to the vintage memorabilia and the whole "Un Dia En La Habana" concept, and it's since grown into a small chain across Miami and even Vegas. The Ocean Drive location does it right: great service, very friendly and fast, food that was amazing across the board. Loved my first taste of a traditional, genuine Cuban sandwich, ham, roast pork, Swiss, pickles, mustard, all pressed together and served with a mountain of shoestring fries, as close to the source as I could ask for stateside. Ordered a rum and coke and they hand it to you in a genuinely giant glass, perfect for getting the party started, even though it was a random Monday afternoon. Vibes and atmosphere were immaculate the whole visit. Great first stop in Miami, and a great way to kick off the week that followed.
