I was back in S. Florida for work and of course I had to have some Cuban food. I am so happy I found this place! The restaurant is spacious and clean. As for the food, I had vaca frita and it sure didn't disappoint! Portion is big and I was able to make two meals out of this. Their guava batido was yummy as well. Service is quick and efficient. Highly recommend! read more

I went back again and OMG!!! Man, when I tell you the chicken breast was tender and flavorful, you best believe. I ordered the chicken breast with yuca, mojo rice and a side of tostones. Everything was so so good. This dish did not disappoint, go order you some and you will see. Good service and atmosphere. read more

La Viña Cuban Cafe - Cuban Near Me - Tamarac, Florida

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. read more

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. read more

La Viña Cuban Cafe - Ropa vieja (shredded beef), moros y christinanos (white rice and black beans) and platanos maduros (fried over-ripe plantains) - Cuban Near Me - Tamarac, Florida

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. read more

Was really excited to try this place as there aren't many cuban restaurants in our area. We got the Vaca Frita with moro rice and tostones, and the Masitas with moro and yucca with mojo. The vaca frita was so flavorful, where the masitas lacked. Maybe the mojo just wasn't that great? Will def come back to try other dishes! read more

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. read more

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! read more

My family and I had the chance to visit this restaurant for the first time today. The customer service was great, and the food was even greater! The food was cooked fast, tasted super fresh, and I will definitely be coming back. The owners served the food and were so polite. Must try in Tamarac! read more

Food was excellent, taste-wise. My wife's roast pork was excellent. I had Masa de Puerco, and it tasted great, but not enough onions, and there was no type of sauce for the tostones. We will go back but I will ask for extra onions and some garlic sauce. read more

A must-try if you're craving Cuban food! There aren't too many Cuban spots in Tamarac, but La Viva Cuban Cafe is a solid standout.

The food is delicious, portions are generous, and the menu has plenty of options to satisfy any craving. Prices are very reasonable too, making it a great spot for both casual meals and gatherings. It's also perfect for big groups--plenty of space and quick service to keep everyone happy. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area and in the mood for Cuban comfort food! read more

Food very good! Just surprised on if you charge on your credit card there is a fee. Never was told this until we questioned it. Also what would really help is a smile when you walk in the door and be welcoming. Customer service is number one coming from a family that owned restaurants. They're new so just a word of advice when you see customers come in. Other than that food was very good. It was nicely decorated also. Oh one more thing really raggy looking chairs outside in the next door not there restaurants. I would have the plaza owner fix that really fast makes any business around it look very bad! read more

Great cuban food! Very family oriented with good, friendly service. It's a casual setting with more people picking up than dining in. However, there's plenty of seating if you do want to eat there. read more

La comida es excelente en sabor, elaboración y presentación, recomiendo los batidos como una opción que no puede faltar y la verdadera pizza cubana con bordes quemaditos. Muy buena experiencia. Ambiente tranquilo read more

The First time I went there the food was really good. The second time- there was a big Grant Dane with his face and paws all over the counter. I do not eat where they allow dogs to do what ever in a restaurant/ cafe. Un fortunately we will not be going back. Looked like a nice place. read more

Great local Cuban food. Palomino steak sandwiches is a winner. Chicken empanadas also good for a quick bite

Food is super good ! A little pricy for breakfast but I would definitely still come back.

Amazing! Friendly service. Food excellent. Had to sample a few things. First let me tell you, I love a good croquette and these did not disappoint. Nice size and delicious. Empanadas very flavorful. Also got lechon(roast pork) very good as well and was topped off with a nice size chicharron. This is literally a hidden gem. Give them a shot and you won't be disappointed. read more

Been here many times food is always good. Good portions great service would highly recommend.

Little blink and you miss it Cuban place in Tamarac. Family owned it seems. I've ordered a few things and so far everything was delicious. I really enjoyed the pan con lechón. Great service, the lady at the counter I believe is one of the owners. She's really sweet and gives you recommendations if you're not sure what you're in the mood for. They always hit. The cook peers through the window to see if you like what you're eating, pretty funny. Nice little spot for a casual but tasty meal. read more

Horrible Cuban place. Nothing authentic. Bread is crap, eggs are crap and empanadas are crap. Don't come here if you want to eat half decently. Food making me want to puke. Service was also horrible. Wish I could put zero stars read more
