After coming here for years, they told us we can not get refills on water anymore because they want us to start buying water bottles. The water bottle they carry is not my preferred water, so I will not drink it. They serve small glasses of water and will not refill, I have never heard of this before. I have been in the restaurant industry for 20 years and I am currently a restaurant manager and we refill guests water as much as they would like. So they lost a long time customer and I have many friends that stopped coming for their petty changes as well... Alex the server is always amazing and we are going to miss him because he does a wonderful job taking care of us. He always made us feel at home. The food is ok, every Cuban place in Hialeah is the same, but Alex is why we choose this Cuban place over others... read more

Latin Cafe 2000 - Water cup, no refills of water allowed. - Latin American Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

Ordered takeout. Nobody wanted to give me service. Talked to 5 staff members and no one could guide me to my order or bring it to me. Had to find it on my own. Food was incorrect and found ketchup packets in my sandwhich. Terrible place to go eat. I don't reccomend it. read more

We've been going here on and off for years. Sadly seeing it deteriorate in service and quality of food. Today was the breaking point. We will no longer come here. Ordered a Mamey shake and it tasted like water with a bit of Mamey. I returned it and ask for another one. It went from water down to completely frozen. I gave up. This should of been a sign for what was to come. Ordered a Vaca frita sandwich, Cuban sandwich and coquette sandwich just coquette with lettuce and tomatoes. Again just coquette. All the sandwich breads tasted extremely stale. The vaca frita sandwich had absolutely no sazon/flavor. My coquette sandwich had pork in it which I only asked for coquette and about 20 pickles. I have lived in Miami my whole life. I have never I mean never had a coquette sandwich like this in my life. Disgusting! We informed the manager and thank God she voided our entire bill. Almost $50 for a water down/frozen shake, stale Cuban bread, no flavor and a sandwich I never asked for. Times are definitely changing in cost and quality of food. I'm truly sad. This place was once an amazing place to come and eat. read more

One benefit of these marathon 14 hour days at the office is the opportunity to discover a bunch of greasy spoons near my office. The Latin Cafe 2000 is one of them, and actually a recipient of the "Sweet Home Hialeah" award for their service and ambiance. The background music was upbeat Spanish pop, a marked improvement over my recent diner soundtracks. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by a bright neon "Hialeah" sign and an attentive waiter who brought my water immediately. Dinner was a nicely sized thick and juicy chicken breast with plenty of cebollitas, red beans and rice moros (though I prefer the ones with black beans - minor issue), and sweet plaintains (maduros). My only gripe was with me getting only one lemon slice, since I like sprinkling it over the chicken and the moros. T'was ok as I sprinkled some hot sauce and "todo chevere". Mr. Dessert snob was satisfied, with a very sweet piece of flan served with plenty of the syrup a good flan makes! There is some outside seating , facing la 49. Go ahead and enjoy your dinner out.

Disappointing. The food was very very far below average. We got the 2 for 20. The fried yuca was ok but you Can tell it was fried in the same oil that was real old. The bistec de pollo empanizado was super dry, not even ketchup could save it. The churrasco de pollo was dry and tasteless. The salad was awful. The only decent thing was the free bread that was given at the beginning. The service was not bad, so I can't complain about that. But good lord the kitchen needs to be re-evaluated. read more

We love coming here for the food! Pre-COVID this place was one our fave. Today we opted to come, and noticed there was a line outside. That told us business is really good for them, so that definitely was a good sign for us . Normally we sit at the bar, but noticed that wasn't an option. It was our first time sitting at a table/booth. So we go in and didn't see anyone at the front to check us in, although a big line was waiting. We went back out and waited. 10 mins pass other people arrive and go in, to attempt to check in. Literally after that a waitress comes out and calls a name out. That alerted us that somewhere in there there should be a list. My husband goes in again and finds it. By now it's been about 25 mins and a couple arrived and they ask us if we are waiting and say yes, we also informed them them that they have to sign in. Once that couple went in we never saw them come out. This was now two groups that went in before is and they didn't come back out. I opted to see what's going on and noticed those two groups were seated before us. I was disappointed they weren't honoring the list of arrival. I asked why did two groups sit before us and the employee didn't know how to answer that. Another ready to be signed in shared the same thing has happened to her multiple times. Finally we sit and the waitress is barely interested in attending us. All this to say great food but poor service. We just may not come back for a long time. Ugh! read more

Mal servicio, mala comida, se les olvida servir lo que uno pide, terrible todo! El ambiente pésimo

Have always been a fan of this place, but the quality and service has been an embarrassment. Today, after almost 40 minutes waiting for the waiter I left; it's has nothing to do with being understaffed as there over 10 people standing around looking, and when they do talk to you is with an attitude. Management and the employees themselves don't care. It is a shame that the lack of caring is bringing this place down. read more

Great place to get your Cuban fix of food. They're good for breakfast or dinner. The churrasco de pollo is amazing. They're open late which is great. The window service is sometimes slow but inside it usually goes quick. read more

I enjoyed it. Two of my other old school College friends caught up with each other after 10 years . We ordered a big pitcher of Red Sangria. We had about 4 glass wine size each. Also happy hour was an hour later and got to take advantage of that. The Cuban sandwich was great because they didn't hold back on the meat. The other food was great with Sangria. Good portion for the amount paid. Average cost. I would definite return if I visited Miami again! read more

This was a good place to go with relatives who are not vegan. I ordered a Bistro salad and moros o congris; they ordered mariquitas, naranja, chicharron de pollo, a miami sandwich and flan. We all enjoyed our meals, and I sampled the yuca con mojo, which came with the chicharoon de pollo. The moros o congris were out of sight and tantalized my taste buds. The service was very good, and the prices were so reasonable that I picked up the tab. read more

This is my second time order from here via UberEats. The empanada is tasty but a bit on the greasy side, the croqueta was delicious, the tuna sandwhich was tasty but it is too much bread for the amount of tuna that they use, many flattening the bread or using a different type would help, also the fries arrived soggy so I would recommend using holed take out plate to prevent this and the churrasco de pollo was tasty but also greasy. read more

Yum, yum, yum! I came here with my grandma the other day before a long drive and so glad I thought to come here. We ordered the "Huevos a la Tradicion", which is basically two eggs (cooked to order), bacon, ham, or sausage, french fries or home fries, coffee (made to order), and a tostada. All of that was a whopping $6, and we shared it! Not everyone can do this obviously, but it made our experience all the better. My grandma just has bread and coffee in the morning (not sure how many abuelas out there are the same), so I told her she could have what came with my meal. The eggs were made the way I asked, the fries were hot and crispy (but still potato-y), the bacon was yum, and my grandma was more than happy with her cafe con leche and tostada! I also ordered a batido de trigo, which was literally the bomb dot com. I've been craving it for so long and was glad to finally have it! On to other things besides food... 1) Parking is slightly limited, but we didn't have a problem finding a spot. 2) They have outdoor and indoor seating. 3) Our service (waitress) was so nice and efficient! She came quickly to get our order, it was out within 5 minutes, and she came back twice fairly quickly to check on us and give us our check. She was great and her service definitely exceeded my expectations. 4) GET A BATIDO DE TRIGO! read more

I had an issue with my delivery in which the order never arrived, however as soon as I called the restaurant to inquire about a refund or a new order the manager Jose jumped to the rescue and immediately apologized for the inconvenience. He was extremely kind and professional and stated he would make me a brand new order so that it would be hot and fresh for pick up. Whoever is in charge of Jose's salary, give him and his team a raise!!! read more

Every time we come here the food never disappoints! The servers are always very polite and helpful, especially Isadys! She was our server today & WOW she's amazing! Always on top of all her tables , you can really tell she cares about her job and does so in an effortless matter. We never had to call her once for anything she always anticipated our needs and went above and beyond. The croquetas here are to die for! Definitely get that and the tamal en cazuela! Honestly anything on the menu is delicious. Definitely recommend this location! read more

Love the Media noches. We ordered 2,plus a Watermelon juice and their delicious HOMEMADE fries. Normally everything arrives perfect... But today the fries were NOT HOMEMADE!! Not kidding guys... They look like old McDonald's fries... And the thing that gets me upset is when I called the girl that I ordered from to complain about them all she's had to say was okay okay okay. Almost every day my friend orders from them that was kind of rude just tell me... No more fries, or try to explain!! but don't brush me off, or send me these things!! Old hard fries!! read more

Had lunch here the other day. I came because of the reviews and from other Cubans that attest to this place. They were RIGHT! This place surely delivers and from the constant traffic of Cuban patrons that we saw come through while we were eating, this place is the definitely the place to go for some genuine Cuban food if you're in the area. There is tons of seating inside and outside. There is also a quick carry out area that you can order at from the patio. The service is super quick and the waiters and waitresses are very attentive. The food came in a reasonable time. okay now ur prolly asking WHAT ABOUT THE FOOOOD??! well...it was damn good id have to say. I can't say im a Cuban food expert but from what I can see...everything was fresh, well seasoned, and just tasted good. My friend had a potato ball with meat filling for an appetizer which was awesome. It had a nice fried outside but a creamy potato inside and filled with delicious ground meat. We both had juices. I had the sugar cane while she had watermelon. They both were great and did not taste artificial. Finally the main dishes I had a reg cuban sandwich while she had one of the daily specials. Both were delicious and way too much for lunch...BUT I LOVE THAT...I don't think I saw any table that DIDNT get to-go boxes bc they give you so much. I don't know what we were thinking but we both got dessert to round out our exp...we were sooo full but they were great. I had the rice pudding which was heavenly and she had the tres leche. If you want some Cuban food or just good food come here. You should come somewhat hungry...or you will have lots to take home. read more

This was our second visit in a week. It's close to Palmetto Hospital and we needed a Cuban comfort food fix. Suri was our waitress and she was amazing. Probably the best thing there. We started with the mariquitas. The order was a bit small compared to other Cuban places, but they were good. I had the enchilada Camerones. It was tasty but the white rice was hard and not even warm. My daughter had the chicken soup and it came luke warm and watered down. My husband had ordered a breaded steak and the beans and rice mixture and that also came Luke warm and the beans and rice appeared old and reheated from the day before. There was a man that I think was a manager that greeted the customers and passed by the tables. Too bad the food wasn't as good as the customer service. read more

A little disappointed with my Elena Ruz, it needed more jelly. Also the service was pretty bad. We were sitting outside and on multiple occasions we had to look for someone inside to get service.

Do not order here if you are ordering for a special day (like Mother's Day). Overall unsatisfied with their customer service - living in Hialeah, there are many Cuban restaurants and Latin Cafe continually messes up my order. I am always missing items and the quality is simply not the same when the customer volume is high. I wish they would satisfy more their clientele as I have complained in the past and same issues occur. Quality is gone! My Mother's Day was ruined when half of the order was missing and the food tasted stale. read more

It is great restaurant, the food is excellent, Magaly is the best employee there; however, this morning we had the worst experience. There's a waitress by the name of Ramona who is really rude and unprofessional. When I was ordering by the window, my wife sat down to wait for me in one chairs outside. Unfortunately, while my wife was waiting, Ramona approached her in a really unprofessional way and told her that she needed to move as those chairs are only for customers who are eating in the restaurant. I understand that the restaurant has rules for the chairs located outside; nevertheless, employees must learn how to communicate properly to customers. I guess we will continue coming to the restaurant, but when Magaly is there as she indeed makes us feel welcomed and treat us like family. read more

Worst place ever. Maybe just out waiter. This old cuban guy is probably tired of working. He probably should have done something better in his youth. Don't ask for recommendations, he will point at the menu, don't ask for desserts, he will point at the menu, don't ask for anything, he will do shit. But...you will listen to him talking to the younger people about how "good" he is at his job and how terrible the rest is. Typical old cuban guy. By the way, I'm cuban, and hate estos machos breteros que no hacen nada y creen que merecen todo. Terrible servicio. read more

This is one of my favorites place to eat in Hialeah. The food is really good but lately their service has went down. I order over the phone to go pick up a large chicken soup as I was sick and they have a tasty one. I pick it up put in a bowl and to my surprise there was No chicken on it. They fill it with potatoes and NO chicken. This is the second time this happens to me but today they over dod it. It was a potatoe with noodles soup. Hopefully they read this review and have a talk with their staff so it doesn't happen again to another client. read more
