This place came recommended by a few locals. Everything was super good!! We had the beef , ham/cheese empanadas (good), potato balls (super yummy & moist). Cuban fajitas & sandwiches are really. read more

Latin Cafe 2000 - Hialeah... - Latin American Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

If you love good Cuban food then this is the spot for you. I've been here a few times and every time the service has been very attentive and usually pretty quick. Everything from a "Media Noche" to a "Churrasco with Chimichurri" is good here. lol Then when your all done, ask for a little "Cafesito." It's delicious here. Also, they're prices are very reasonable and affordable no matter what you order. read more

To begin with yes I live in Hialeah so Cuban spots are a dime a dozen. Though I never really have given Latin cafe 2000 a try I was in the mood for a chicken sandwish and decided to give it a shot. To begin we were seated in the front behind the hostess station literally in front of a trash bin (we were later treated as such). The appetizers we ordered first were actually pretty good ( order of empanadas and fried cheese, which was overpriced though ). It went downhill from there though. The chicken sandwish was soggy when it came out and the fries were cold. We decided to get a "homemade" tres leche which was actually probally bought at Sedanos in the same plaza (cake part was hard and not moist). To top it off the waitress took over 20 minutes to finally bring us our bill as she flirted with a cuban papi 2000 and was way much more friendlier to other patrons as me and my girlfriend did not feel the love. Better off going to Morro Castle or El Caribe. read more

Brown lettuce . Over cooked shrimp and a major lack in flavor in our meals...not even salt. No thank you.

Takes temperature before dining . Masks required. Water bottles and drink in styrofoam cups .

I live in Chicago and I wanted Cuban food and I decided since I was in Miami and had been there several times before that it would hit the spot. We had just arrived server told us only four at a table and that she would sit my nephew at another table by himself. Mind you he's only nine I told her no and that I would not leave him by himself. She continued to have a bad attitude and when I spoke English she ignored me as if She couldn't understand me. My grandma tried to order her food and she was rolling her eyes, my grandpa is hard of hearing so I asked what was her problem. She right a way told me nothing but continued to give us all an attitude. There is more to say but Horrible service and food was disgusting...Never again also the manager she has a bad attitude. The old manager was the best, and the service was also good back then. I will never eat there again... read more

I've never been disappointed, I always pick up food from this location when I'm visiting the folks and the one by the airport. They have been great all through Covid pandemic and been super conscientious. I bring out of town guests here instead of the now mediocre places like Versailles and La Carreta. read more

I had one of the best dining experience of my life here. I love Cuban food, and I am starved of it in my home town in Maryland. So while here with my Cuban wife and her Cuban high school friend, we went to Latin Cafe. The Peccadillo is Awesome. The croquetas sampler platter is to die for. Cuban sandwich, OMG! The portions are AMPLE. This place is as close to an authentic Cuban dining experience as you could ask for. No, it IS authentic Cuban dining. We left with lots of leftovers for later. And no doubt our waiter thought that the guayabera was going to burst on this Cubanophile gringo. LatinCafe will be where I tell any of my friends visiting southern Florida to get their authentic Cuban meal. And by the way, this place is very reasonably priced. Ignore Liana H. I HIGHLY doubt they could get more authentic Cuban food then Latin Café in Miami. I ate dinner there with two Cubans, and they thought the food was pretty darn fine AND was up to CUBAN MOM STANDARDS. I have not read any of Liana H.'s other reviews, but I think they were at Denny's, and mis-identified where they were at. Truly off the mark. This persons review was diametrically opposed to my real experience. read more

This place was off the hook! Went in to have a Cuban sandwich and to my surprise they had Medianoches. A puertorican version of the Cuban sandwich. OMG! It was scrumptious. The park was so tender? Well seasoned and juicy. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for Medianoches and Cuban food. read more

Although I have been there many time on Saturday 9/12/2020 I was supposed to meet my sister at Latin Cafe. While on my way there to meet her she noticed a parking spot closer to were she was sitting outside and decided to move her vehicle closer because it was raining. She left her face mask & wallet on the table because it only took 2min to move her car. When she returned her wallet and mask was gone! When she ask the workers what happened to her wallet EVERYONE pretended as if they didn't speak English, they weren't helpful at all. Mind you the restaurant was COMPLETELY EMPTY due to the rain & Social Distancing restrictions I AM BEYOND LIVID! After calling the police officer the workers still refused to review the cameras! & suggested that I return on Monday! Latin Cafe I will never set foot in your establishment your employees are thieves! There was absolutely no one in the restaurant I'm lost for words! So next time anyone eat there make sure to keep your wallet close because they are very dishonest and thieves it's also a pandemic and my sister haven't been working in months all she wanted to do was relax at a place she thought would be SAFE! Never Again!!! read more

It's not the first time I order form here, In fact I have ordered a few times because it is right next door to my home and they have their days but as of late, the staff has been rude and unprofessional and something is ALWAYS wrong with my order. Today I ordered for pick up, a steak sandwich, something simple! I asked to please add Mayo and ketchup. I didn't think it would be a mission! Upon receiving my order, I checked my food as usual and come to see that the bread is literally burnt and basically old left over form breakfast I guess. It was unacceptable. I took a bite to see if it was better than it looked and of course it wasn't. I went back to return the sandwich to swap out for another bread. They gave me an attitude like if I was dumb for not wanting to eat hard bread. It's a $10 sandwich. That's not cheap for a steak sandwich. I was given back my sandwich but this time they just game me steak and bread, the steak of course wasn't even reheated, no lettuce, no tomato, nothing! So I asked for my money back but they insisted to make another sandwich. The steak still wasn't reheated and by this time my fries were cold, they didn't even bother to switch out the old food to new food, gave me the sandwich sloppy and gave me my condiments on the side and told me to put it on myself. Last week I ordered and they forgot my coladas and beans to my order. It always something missing. The service is poor, it's pathetic. read more

Food is great but unfortunately you must live literally around the corner from there in order to get delivery. I was denied to order because I lived 5 blocks (yes 5 blocks) from their cut off zone because they use an outside company. I'm a weekly customer there and my car is in the shop- I live in Hialeah and by car I'm about 8 minutes away. Oh well: their loss! Uber Eats it is.... we the customers have options thank goodness read more

I do not recommend ordering anything at the window. The waitresses are horrible, they do not attend you until half an hour later, even if they are not with another customer. One waitress left me waiting at the window because she was talking with another customer about traveling, Keep in mind she has already help this customer. Everything you order takes a long time. The service is crap. They answer you very rudely. If it were not because I work so close, I would have stopped going a long time ago. No recomiendo ir a ordenar nada en la ventana. Las vendedoras son horribles, no te atienden hasta la media hora, incluso si no están atendiendo a nadie mas, y hay una que hasta te deja esperando en la ventana porque está conversando de viajes con otro cliente al que ya atendió. Todo lo que ordenes se demora un montón. El servicio es malísimo. Te contestan en malas formas. Si no fuera porque es lo más cerca que me queda del trabajo, hace tiempo que hubiese dejado de ir a ordenar ahí. read more

So I'm back in Miami from a year long "hiatus". I've obviously been craving the usual Miami staples. Croquetas, pan con bistec, Flanigans, cubans, pastelitos, batidos... you catch my drift. I stopped by Latin Cafe 2000 at about 11:00 am on a Saturday to get my pan con bistec fix. I hadn't eaten at this location in a few years and decided I'd give it a try. Their menu has all of the basic Cuban fixings which you would normally expect. I looked through it to see if I would want anything else but I had my heart set on that Pan con Bistec! The line at the window was very long so I called in my order. They gave me a 15 minute wait time and after they passed, I went up to the window to pick up my treat! When I got to the window, no one acknowledged me for a few minutes. Ok, fine. They asked me if I was picking up and I said yes and asked them to add a croqueta to my order. Paid for my food and left. I had the croqueta on my drive home and OMG!!! It was wayyyy better than I expected and it's also HUGE! And it was very warm still. However, my pan con bistec was disappointing. Let's break this down... The star of the show, the bistec, was dry and tough. To the point where I had to bite and pull to tear off that piece. It wasn't as flavorful as I expected either. It was very thin and very small. The sandwich was mostly bread. The last few bites were JUST bread. There were no onions added. Just tomato and lettuce and little shoestring potatoes. No flavor, very bland. And to make matters worst, they priced this blandness at 9.99!!!! Really?! I'm not against paying that much for a sandwich but Latin Cafe 2000, if you're going to charge that much, you better make damned sure it's worth it! Needless to say, I will not be recommending or going back to Latin Cafe 2000. Get it together!!! read more

Discrimination at its best! DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS PLACE. EVER! On my way to dropping off my friend at the airport, we decided to stop at this place to have some sangria. We ordered a pitcher of sangria and were told by the waiter that we needed to order an appetizer in order to be able to purchase the drinks. I asked why? He said we dont serve drinks unless you order food. I asked for the manager. The came and manager literally repeated the same thing and offered to have the owner come out and explain. The owner comes out and says, I hold a Consumption License and unless you eat, you cant drink. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. As a foodie, I've eaten at thousands of places and I've never heard of that. I asked the owner are you sure this is not just your policy and not the law? To which he replied: I'm the owner and I have no need to lie. That is the law. He repeated himself and said if you dont purchase at least an appetizer we cant serve you. Then he proceeded to point to another restaurant down the street and told us if we wanted to drink that we could go there. Well, we left embarrassed and humiliated and I said to myself I would look into this. Low and behold the owner was lying. I called DBPR and according to Florida Alcohol and Beverage Law there's no such clause or requirement. A Consumption License allows restaurants owners to also sell Wine and Beer within their food establishment. As simple as that. I must add that my friend was visiting from Grand Cayman and she was shocked by the way how we were treated. To the owner, you are a liar and you shouldn't be allowed to have this business. You force your workers to lie and you are a disgrace to the State of Florida and the business owners represented here. Be clear that I will report you to the BBB and I will make it my business for peole to know how rude and disrespectful you are. You ought to be ashamed of yourself! read more

Latin Cafe 2000 - Discrimination at its best! DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS PLACE. EVER! - Latin American Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

Dining here is always a pleasure. The waitresses always welcome us as if we're guests in their home. The bilingual staff is always friendly which enhances the feel of eating in an authentic Cuban restaurant. For our breakfast routine it's well worth passing up many other restaurants on the way. The prices are very reasonable and portions are generous. I recommend eating here and asking for Ramona specifically for outstanding service. Although, the entire waitressing staff is worth the trip. read more

This restaurant is near my in law's house, so we try to make this our meeting place for lunch when we visit. The food is good, flavorful Cuban food. The service is a bit rushed, but very humble. The only reason I'm not giving them a higher rating is because their bathroom was out of order. First stall had a sign that said out of order, the second stall wouldn't flush. My 4 year old had to use the bathroom and couldn't because of this. I didn't say anything, as we were already leaving. The Latin cafe sampler was pretty good. (Croquetas, papa rellena, tamal, and a masa de puerco). Breakfast isn't offered after 11:30, but they do offer some breakfast food all day. My husband had the churrasco mariscada which included calamari & shrimp over a churrasco. Although he asked for it "medium", it was a bit too cooked but still delicious. I got the bistec de pollo empalizado (chicken cutlet) with a side of fufu de plátano. (Plantain mash) sooo good. Just wish it came with a side of mojo. My kids had rice & beans. All very good. read more

I was today at this location in Hialeah. I understand that what we going through are strong moments but I believe that employee at this place needs to be more polite with guess. 1. Taking temperature is fine, but take into account how long is a costumer waiting under the sun to fine a seat out side. I was almost 30 mins under 95F and got sun. No air in the waiting line just on the tables and not in all of them. I got a table with out this waitress and her manager told me I can be serve because me and my family temperature show up at 99F I told her to take into account the time we been waiting I can got to the car under ac for a while then try again. This manager told me that I have fewer and I must go to the doctor. So everybody have fewer under the sun I considered fewer 100.4 F that is what doctors said not 99. But still very rude you don't tell any costumers and diagnostic because simply YOU ARE NOT A DOCTOR. I can go get tested and come back and file a claim against you and your place simply because telling me something you believe. I considered the forms to tell a costumer things not the way they treated me here is disappointed and more around this difficult times. I can't tell because at the le June location I passed through the same situation and they gave me time to cool down for 1 min and the I was fine. read more

Best food I've had during my trip to the Miami area. Truly authentic flavor for a decent price tag! Would highly recommend!!

Worse Place to eat Cuban food in Hialeah, DO NOT go to this place you'll regret it, you will find a lot better places to eat. I used to go to this restaurant since 2011, and before​ it used to be good​ since last year the place is getting worse & worse, so today I gave a try and visit it for a lunch and I was ​very disappointed​​ I ordered a Side of Chicharrones and it was horrible, the chicken was too dry, and the chicken soup didn't have ​even a small piece of chicken that it is supposed to have, in general,​ this place is getting worse & worse so this is actually​ the last time I come to this restaurant. BTW never order chicharrones there, then the salad came and it was looking like a salad from 3 days ago very disgusting​. The manager never came to the table to ask what was the issue or try to apologize​ for the inconvenience. So please if you are in Hialeah NEVER consider this place as an option to eat. Very disappointment​ place, they shouldn't be in the business​ of serving Food. Bad management, Bad Food!!! I shouldn't even give 1 star. read more

First time in the area- had the "Higado a la Italiana" with the Fufu de Platano (deliciously tasty & not salty); the portions were generous. In addition, locale was very clean and the service was outstanding- our waitress Rosa (her name tag) was exceptionally polite and attentive. Highly recommended to anyone that comes to the Hialeah area. Eva-Angela read more

De maravilla la pasamo, one of the best churrascos we have ever had. Raul the waiter was exceptional!!! Very good experience!

Christopher was a great server !! Food was great and very polite. Enjoyed everything from the service to the food . Highly recommended.

I just left Latin Cafe 2000 in Hialeah. What a horrible experience. The waiter who was in charge of our table was so unprofessional. She keep using words like "CHULA" to my daughter when she came to get the order. We order a sample platter and the stuff potatoes tasted like frozen food. The woman took for ever to give us the check and when I ask for change she say out loud a comment of disappointment because I didn't left $10.00 tips. As far as I know I'm NOT force to leave any tip if I'm not satisfied with the service. I agree with other comments I read about this employees that the majority are Cubans to be so loud, and talking in Spanish all the time. Just because is Hialeah this does not mean we are in a latin country. Learn the language and have some manners read more

Last weekend I had a cousin visiting from New York who was desperate for some Cuban food. Of course, I did a quick search on yelp for highly rated restaurants in Hialeah. This place was one of the 1st to come up and it completely lived up to its name. Driving up I was a little skeptical of the fact that it looked very commercial. But as they say, looks can be deceiving. The hostess, our waitress, the busboy all greeted us with a welcoming smile. I love meat so I was a little overwhelmed by the menu. Pages upon pages of meaty and savory dishes. My cousin started off with their onion soup. If there was a such thing as Cuban onion soup, I'd say this was it. It looked like French onion soup but all Latin flavors. It was so good! When you go, make sure the mojo yuca is 1 of your sides! Trust me, you'll thank me! I decided on the Churassco while my cousin had the Ropa Vieja. Evey bite we took of our meal ended with an "Mmm." I even ended up ordering the lamb in wine sauce to go. Another Mmm Mmm dish! read more

Latin Cafe 2000 - Churassco... - Latin American Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

One of my regular spots. Great food. I have never been disappointed, and over the years I have eatten there maybe 100 times. Love it!!!

I came here the other morning to get some breakfast, their Breakfast is great cause not only does it taste good but You get A LOT for a cheap Price! For $5.99 i always get Scrambled eggs, Fries, Sausage, Tostada (Cuban Bread w/ Butter) and Cafe Con Leche! Hey thats more then enough to get me started in the morning. The only other times i come here is during the day and it's mostly when im in the mood to eat chicken soup which the large (HUGE Portion) is $5 dollars and i think the small is about $3 something. With the soup they include complimentary Saltin Crackers and Lime, There service is great when you sit down inside but my only real complain is that the waitress up at the window for pick-up are Rude and always in a rush. Besides that i love this place, and come here a lot. read more

I wouldn't consider myself an expert on "Cuban" food per se, but rather an expert on good tasting food. This place rocks. I have been here a couple of times with my husband (when we happen to be in Miami) and it's awesome. I usually get the churassco steak and he gets the pork (we're creatures of habit). The shakes are incredible too. Very reasonable, clean and friendly staff. If you're looking for a fancy-schmancy atmosphere; this ain't it; it's a diner. But if you want good food that's authentic and reasonable, well, you've found it. read more

Today I was disappointed. El Que tienda tiene, tiene Que atenderla. Our server was nice after she realized the server that was suppose to wait on us had totally missed our table. It took forever for to get to order finally. The bathroom was nasty. I'm not sure what happened today food took forever, everything was in slow motion. #Disappointed. read more

I would not recommend, the food is alright. But I've been to much tastier Cuban restaurants. They often do not have everything that is listed on the menu. The last time I went to this place was when I saw a roach crawling around, yuck! read more

Terrible food. The meat was tougher than leather...when we brought it up to the server he condescendingly apologized, however they charged full price when we hadn't eaten 10% of the plate. Awful, I will never go back and suggest you don't either. read more

I had dinner with my grandma, more like a large late night snack considering it was well after midnight at the Latin Cafe 2000 (1149 W 49th St, Hialeah). There are several Latin Cafes dotted through Miami. We had the appetizer sampler. The sampler consisted of: Tostones Rellenos con Picadillo: Delicious fried plantains which are smashed to form a little cup which contains a savory mix of ground beef and olives it has a tasty tomato base to it. Fresh they are amazing but the tostone, or plantain part of the situation doesn't reheat well at all as I learned the next day. Croquetas: A Cuban staple which is essentially chopped up ham breaded and deep fried. They are a tasty treat that is usually served with saltine crackers. I usually forego the crackers when eating them. Done right they have a soft inside and a crispy outside. A delicious ham flavour that isn't too salty. Tamal: which was tasty and had the correct proportion of masa to meat. It is absolutely horrible when you get one that is overwhelmed with too much masa. Pork: what makes pork taste better? Frying it in its own fat. You get the nice lemony flavour (though most mojo marinades are made with tasty bitter oranges) of the mojo marinade accentuated by a hint of garlic. The cooked onions that accompanied it have a slight vinegary taste. The pork is very tender with a crisp exterior. Papas Rellenas: My favourite part of Cuban cuisine hands down. I fiend for these when I am away from home. It is the perfect snack. Devinely smooth mashed potatoes coat a delicious filling of Picadillo and is deep fried to crispy perfection... Hey nobody said Cuban food was healthy. I must admit the service there left a little to be desired though. The Media Noche sandwich I had there wasn't the greatest I have had either. I was looking forward to that sweet bread with the pickles, roast pork and ham. The ham seemed of not the greatest quality and the bread was greedy. Needless to say I've had better. read more

Right off the heart of Hialeah (49th St) is Latin Cafe 2000. It is open late and its all the delicious Cuban goodness you could ask for! We stopped by for a late night snack at exactly 11:59pm. and there were at least 5 tables eating inside, and a couple tables outside. We didn't sit inside but opted to order our Medianoche (meaning midnight) sandwiches at the little side window. We were greated by a Spanish speaking waitress who made us the best Cuban cortadito & cafecitos (as she called them) ! We were wired for the next 3 hours with no problem!! The sandwich is soft pressed and filled with ham, pork, and cheese (no pickles please!)... Definitely as good as it gets! read more
