    Very clean, quiet, calming music, friendly staff, not very busy at the time I went but most orders are prepared when ordered, they do have soups, rice, beans, pastries and some Hot food readily available

    ESPRESSO

    A few days ago, I was driving through the area and noticed this Cuban Cafe in a desolate plaza. Did a quick review check through Yelp and observed a single review with a brutal (really horrific) one star rating. So of course I wanted a peek to provide my input from a self proclaimed master connoisseur of cultural eateries. The listed opening time online is 9am so of course I was sitting in the parking lot at 850am. Exactly at 9am, I noticed three employees decked out in La Vina logo attire who unlocked the front door and entered. Within minutes the Closed sign on the door was manually reversed to Open and excitement set in for hopefully a good experience. My first thought was how could the food prep be ready for incoming customers? The friendly owner greeted me and immediately poured a hot espresso into a non-logo foam cup. The dining area was clean and very spacious with a massive red La Viña Cuban Cafe sign affixed to the wall surrounded by several color coordinated red & white seating. The rear room behind the food display was in disarray and doubled as storage. The owner indicated that in the near future the rear room may be utilized as a buffet area which seems like a great idea. Im in a cuban cafe, so I try to order a coffee with a guava pastry, although the pastries were still sitting in the display rack from the day before - not a good sign. The owner advised the baker is making fresh guava pastry but will take fifteen minutes, which I impatiently waited for while sipping my coffee. The bathroom was absolutely spotless with an optional hand air blower. The guava was sweet and the crust was decently flaky and appreciated the freshness of my morning treat. An opinion as constructive criticism would be for the baker to arrive at least thirty minutes early to provide timely freshly prepared pastry for early morning customers. This family owned and managed bakery is only three months old and with only a couple minor hiccups, the cafe seems to be on a successful journey with a rational starting 3.5 star rating.

    Masa De Puerco with Moro and Plantains,  so so good and moist

    06/10/2025 - Came here as I live close by and was glad there was a cuban restaurant near by. The lady behind the counter was very nice and helpful. The food was good and filling, we definitely will be back, to.try other dishes. We had: 1.Masa de Puerco with moro, and Plantains -Very good and moist 2. Cuban Sandwich- Very good size and Very good. 3. Jupinia drinks

    Ropa vieja (shredded beef), moros y christinanos (white rice and black beans) and platanos maduros (fried over-ripe plantains)

    We visited Saturday after most each lunch. Only one other person in restaurant. Me and my lunch companion had ropa vieja (shredded beef), moros y christinanos (white rice and black beans) and maduros (fried over-ripe plantains). The food was delicious! Ropa vieja had just the right amount of salt (some Cuban restaurants over do it). This restaurant is in a strip mall shopping center. Food is ordered at the counter from the wall displayed menu shown in pics. Most of the cooked food is in the display case. I would consider this place as fast casual and I would consider ambiance as 4 star for what it is, a strip mall, fast casual Cuban restaurant.

    Some lunch choices

    If you like really good Cuban Cuisine, you will absolutely like this restaurant. Their prices are reasonable and the food quality is excellent. I ordered the Cuban Sandwich which came with pulled pork versus the sliced pork which some places give you. My guests told me that they really enjoyed their food. The restaurant is located in a strip mall that is a little rough for parking, but Don said let that dissuade you from eating there.

    This might be the best Cuban food find I've made in a long time. La Viña is just five months old, tucked into a beat-up strip mall off University Drive in Tamarac, and absolutely worth the detour. The pan con lechón (ordered with extra onion and mojo) is a standout: roasted in-house pork, sautéed onions, and a hefty, crunchy piece of chicharrón, all served on fresh-baked Cuban bread -- which they also make themselves, both round and loaf. At $10.75 with fries or tostones, it's a massive juicy sandwich and a ridiculous value. I'd put it up against anything on Calle Ocho, and honestly, it might be better. Easily the best I've had in West Broward. Croquetas are made in-house as well -- crisp outside, creamy béchamel inside, no filler. They're served with a punchy cilantro dipping sauce that balances the richness perfectly. The passion fruit batido (ice cream shake) was tart, cold, and creamy -- a great match for the pork. And yes, in addition to house-baked empanadas they bake their own flan and bread pudding, which sit waiting in the display case to tempt you after the meal. This place is the real deal, top to bottom. Friendly service, humble setup, and serious food. I'll be back -- probably tomorrow.

    Steak Cuban Sandwich & Vaca Frita with Moro Rice and sweet plantains. Fresh mango juice.
    Marcy Y.

    Quite satisfied after a casual lunch at La Viña that has only been open for about 3 months in a humble Tamarac plaza. The location is spacious and is a casual dine in restaurant where you order at the counter. I was hesitant after seeing only one review with a low rating but that might've been a one off experience as I enjoyed my time here. They have the Cuban classics such as the sandwiches and my favorite - Vaca Frita. Choose a spot to sit and they'll bring the dish to you when it's ready. Delicious food i would definitely return. The service and hospitality were very generous - that also includes generous portions ( I quite liked that! ). Also recommend to try one of their fresh fruit juices - the mango was fresh!

The restaurant had a fair amount of diners; but we only had to wait 2-3 minutes before being seated. Our server approached us quickly and we actually had to suggest they come back so we'd have time to look over the menu. I decided on the Hunter & Gatherer bowl which consisted of some greens, chickpeas, farro and grilled chicken with a honey mustard vinaigrette. It was a huge portion and quite good. My mom had the omelette which was cooked to perfection and came with 2 slices of multigrain toast. Everything was yummy and the service was fast. Next time I won't wait so long before returning!

The interior is all hard surfaces...so it's loud. I'd recommend brining a bullhorn or a portable mic and speaker with you. Our waitress could not hear us. Try tablecloths or some tapestries on the walls, Maple and Cream management...anything to absorb some sound. Not that our waitress was around that much to hear us scream our order at the top of our lungs. This was an insult, as a 20 percent gratuity was automatically added to our check. The waitress did not deserve a 20 percent tip. She did not even serve 5 percent. And the parking is non existent. I had to park in a garage and walk down a roadway with no sidewalks to get to the place after dropping my wife and daughter off. I don't understand how people have given this place an average of four stars. Don't waste your money.

As odd as it is to go during the day and have brunch, I would say it is the move. You pull into a plaza where everything else is closed except for this business and say hi to the security guard stationed at the entrance of the place---at 11 AM---to walk into a lounge beautifully decorated with green walls, floral accents and a disco ball. It is clear that the majority of patrons come much later in the day, like after 9 PM, to get bottle service listening to a DJ or any other performer. This would explain why the air conditioning was cranked so high, to accommodate the bodies and electricity that would pack the place much later. Our server didn't crack a smile but immediately brought us water after we asked and rounded back twice to take our order. Like I said, going during the day when there are only about 5 other parties dining seems to be the move for prompt service and food preparation. The dishes came out super hot and fresh. The Creole Seafood Omelette ($26) was chock full of well seasoned shrimp and lobster and cheese, with a creamy roux on the side that was good to occasionally dip a bite into but wasn't necessary all the time. The potatoes that came on the side were just the right amount of crispy while leaving some heartiness to them. The Fried Chicken and Waffles ($26) included flavorful fried chicken with breading that didn't quit when you tore it or cut into it. The cool part of this dish is the choice you have of the waffle it comes with. The Cookies and Cream Waffles should be your go-to. They were topped with the chocolate cookie sandwich crumbles and a great homemade vanilla icing. For a Lauderhill establishment in an area where you really don't know of anything else happening, this place is worth a venture out for your brunch. I'd go back to try the other items and drinks!

My husband and I both ordered omelettes with home fries. My omelette was very tasty and came out piping hot. The home fries were good but they were on the cold side, so not ideal but not a big deal. Coffee refills were frequent, and they also provided ketchup and hot sauce without us asking. The silverware was also very clean, as was our table surface, which is very much appreciated and the sign of an establishment that actually cares. There were people of all ages but also a lot of older people having meals, which I enjoyed seeing. Looks like a lot of regulars come there. All in all, a very good experience. We will come back and try again.
