I chose Latin Cafe 2000 (Brickell location) for lunch during a busy work day. Nested in a bustling area, this cafe serves up authentic Cuban food with generous portions. With both indoor and outdoor seating, the vibe here is relaxing and chill. I ordered the Cuban sandwich, chicken soup and a passion fruit mule. Drink was deliciously refreshing. Loved the soup as it felt and tasted homemade. The sandwich definitely a great value, for it was huge! Enough for me to take away for dinner. Service was friendly during my visit. There wasn't much of a wait time for my food, which made my experience better given I was on my lunch hour. read more

The food is decent. There was no wow factor. I ordered the chimichurri chicken with plantains and...a salad I think. Clearly the food wasn't memorable. My chicken was on the dry side. Appetizers were tostones and ceviche. Definitely basic. Everyone had leftovers- no one took them home. They have a bar- I'd go back for drinks. The service was really attentive and good, which isn't a regular Miami occurrence. Give it a try. read more

Service was fast and friendly. El cafecito was very good! Food was excellent. Very clean clean. Must go place!

Excellent Cuban food! Was staying in the area for business and needed dinner late on a Monday evening. Had enjoyed dining at their original location in Coral Gables in the last so wanted to give this one a try and it was great! We sat outside on their side patio and enjoyed the breeze and ambiance. Ordered the Modelo Negra, Fried Cheese appetizer, and Churrasco chicken- All were great! The price was great for the location and the server was super nice and attentive. If you're looking for some good Cuban food in the area, highly recommend Latin Cafe 2000. Enjoy! read more

By far my favorite place to eat in Miami. We come here for breakfast evry time we're in town. The service is fantastic and the food is phenomenal. The portions are huge. Don't even get me started with the Cuban coffee. I'm addicted and its the only thing I crave when I'm in Florida. read more

Looking for a good ventanita option in Brickell? Look no further because Latin Cafe 2000 got you! I enjoy stopping here on the slow weekend mornings or when I have family in town to pick up their delicious empanadas! Service is quick and easy through the ventanita, I'll place my order, pay and step aside until it's ready (typically very fast). There's plenty of seating inside and outside and they offer live music on the weekends during brunch time! Parking is tricky so best to walk/uber or find a garage nearby! read more

This is a classic Cuban restaurant and I mean that in the best way. Places like this really represent the heart of Miami's food scene. While you usually find these spots in local neighborhoods, this location clearly caters more to tourists, which makes sense given the location. I ordered the Palomilla steak and it was delicious. My fiancée had the Vaca Frita, and while she liked it, she did wish it was a bit crispier. The service was fantastic friendly, attentive, and even funny. Our server seemed to be in a great mood the whole time, which made the experience even better. read more

I took the train to work today and as I walked passed LC2000, I immediately craved a tostada and cafe con leche. I arrived at 8:50a, there was a gentleman being served and he was waiting on his tostada. They served him, acknowledged me and said they'd be right with me. I ordered at 8:56a. No big deal but also, they were socializing and that was the delay. I ordered a tostada, cafe con leche and a croqueta to go. I paid and then the waiting began. This is a ventanita.... I got my coffee at 9:09a, then the tostada and croqueta a little bit after. In conclusion, DONT GO HERE IN A HURRY!! Croqueta and tostada were delicious as usual but just beware the ventanita operates in a slow place. Giving 3 stars because I've been here a handful of times, food is good, they have daily specials (sopa de malanga and the carne con papa are the best!!) read more

Food was great and at a good price. Service was fast and I will go again. Cuban sandwich was big. read more

One of my favorite places in brickell. Great Cuba dishes and great service. My favorite is the grilled chicken plate with congris and plátano frito. It's always a go to spot when I'm in town read more

Really good service. Friendly, efficient. Breakfast my last day in town. I got cafe con leche, which was delicious. Huevos rancheros just ok. Beans were hidden and kind of cold. The Cuban bread was well toasted and suited my runny egg perfectly. Ugh, FOX News... really? read more

Mauricio our server was amazing! He treated us like family. He was very attentitive and friendly.

Came here late on a Taco Tuesday ($2 off tacos) for a cuban sandwich and some tacos. Our party wishes we would have just gotten sandwiches. The cuban sandwich here is actually really, really good. One of the best I've had so 8.5/10 for that. The extra large was only $1 more, so got that. They also cut the sandwich length-wise, so that was a nice change from the typical triangular cut most sandwiches are cut. The pollo tacos were quite dry, so while the slaw and crema sauce were tasty, they couldn't hide the dryness of the chicken. Maybe it was because we got there near closing? Would certainly come back for the cuban sandwich. read more

I really wanted to give Latin Cafe 2000 a positive review, but unfortunately, the food just doesn't meet my expectations. This was my second time visiting, and sadly, it confirmed my initial impression that it's not for me. This time, I ordered the Pan Con Lechón--a safe choice I thought would be delicious--but it turned out to be just ok. The location is excelente, and the waitresses are friendly and welcoming, adding to a great ambience. However, the food itself needs some work. El Cafe cubano está muy bueno por lo menos. I really wish I could recommend this place based on location and service alone, but the sabor just isn't quite there. read more

We give up trying to eat dinner here. Worst service. If you get what you ordered, it's ok. We like breakfast and lunch. The daytime service is great. Tortillas are good, Grilled Chicken Sandwich very good. Hope management reviews this. Was seated in an empty restaurant at 7pm. Was only one there and two servers. Never received my order after 30 mins for a sandwich? As I walked out, server realized he forgot and never served my food. They deserve 1 star. This has been my 3rd walkout for dinner. They need a manager at dinner time if they plan on succeeding read more

I was exploring Miami and craving a Cuban Sandwich. I searched for it on Google Maps and this location came up. It seemed like an interesting place. It was somewhat empty for a dinner service. There is a takeout window where you can order your food to go. I liked the interior design. In the back there is a nice bar area with a Taste of Cuba sign. It helps to give an experience of being in Cuba and enjoying a nice meal. I sat down and ordered a Cubano sandwich. It is a nice sandwich on Cuban bread with ham and pork with Swiss cheese and pickles. The sandwich was very bland with slightly burnt. It was not as enjoyable as I made it in my mind. I should have ordered the extra-large sandwich for a dollar more. That would have been worth it as I would have at least been full at the end. Unfortunately, I am still looking for a quality Cuban sandwich in Miami. read more

Amazing! Flavorful! Mouth watering! We found this place while on a one night stay in Miami and I am so glad that we did! All of the staff were super nice and did a very good job of explaining the menu since it's in Spanish. From the outside, it looks like a hole in the wall restaurant, but a lot of times those house the best food ! And when I tell you, I would fly to Miami just to eat the Tres Leches again, I would ! The desserts get 100 out of 10 from me! read more

Love to get a cafe con leche, tostada, y pasteles here. Best prices in Brickell and convenient location.

Great spot where we grabbed a quick bite. The woman working the front take out counter was incredible. Friendly, personable, kind, spoke to us all about the area and gave us good suggestions and info. The spinach cheese empanada was delicious and the green sauce is also delicious! Great little spot! We also went back a second time and the food was also very good! read more

I made an online delivery order and they didn't provide utensils . I had to walk to the nearest cvs to buy utensils In order to eat.

Food: The food was amazing and so flavorful!!! 10/10 I ordered the Vaca Frita with Arroz Moro and Maduros as my sides. I also ordered a Mango Margarita which was delicious. The dish was cooked to perfection and all the flavors were amazing!!!! Service: My husband and I arrived about an hour and a half before closing, however the service was great and the server was very friendly and attentive and he did not rush us at all. Ambiance: The interior was pretty cool, I liked the bar area, however didn't get photo of it. As for the tables inside was pretty standard. Upon entering there was a table with a decorated skeleton couple. Not sure if this is always there or if it's just there for October season. Either way it's cute, the food is so good you will come back again and again even in skeleton form after you die!! lol We will definitely keep Latin Cafe on our list of places go and we might just go back this weekend!!! read more

My favorite Latin bakery in Miami. The Cuban coffee and café con leche are always perfect, and the guava pastries and croquetas are some of the best around. The restaurant food is consistently good, and the live Cuban music on Sundays gives it a great vibe. Easy spot to relax, eat well, and feel local. read more

The Croquetas here are bomb; the soul is really good, and the black beans and Rice and pollo a la plancha have great flavor. Would def order from here again. read more

Good strong Cuban coffee. Had a nice sweetness and I don't want to know how much sugar was in it to make that super strong coffee sweet. My wife had a cafe con leche and that also had a nice kick with good flavor. Great location right next to our hotel, would definitely go again for a nice strong coffee shot. read more

I have noticed my 1st review, was removed or not visible any longer. After ordering online several times at this cafe and walked to buy 1 empanada. The worst experience, they don't allow anyone inside unless you sit down at the table. Manager Victor Pérez very rude and server Yasser which had no business in our conversation stated unless I go outside and order at the counter I could not be served. There are no signs to state this . Just rude and no empathy for people spending their $ here. After calling HR and the owner apparently they are quite ok with this kind of rude customer service. After also reviewing other reviews it's not the 1st time Manager Victor Pérez is reviewed as rude with customers. In addition this place a few not so great reviews especially customer service and a few violations also from the state dept. read more

I have been coming to LC for years and honestly I only like whenever CLAUDIA is my server but today the beautiful fellow Colombian FERNANDA has such a great attitude that I finally saw her beautiful smile and TODAY she's simply the best server in this establishment. read more

Ordered through their online platform, or website, for delivery. Paid, tax, delivery fee and tip. Food never arrived. Seems that they use Uber Eats for their deliveries. The order confirmation had a name and phone for the driver, which was useless because when tried calling or texting we got something saying that it was not available. We called the restaurant, and they pretty much said is not their fault. They offered another order but for pick up, which was not something we could do at the moment. Then we asked for refund and the manager told us they could only give us back the amount for the food $35.18 when our order total with fees and tip was $47.00. Not only disappointed at the fact that the food was lost, that you can't even trust Uber Eats, but also at the way the restaurant handled the situation and at loosing $12 bucks and plenty of time dealing with this on an empty stomach. read more

It's an OK place overall - we just needed a quick bite near last day of our stay and this one fit the bill. I'll say their empanadas are pretty good with satisfying amount of filling, but no comment on their omelettes or coffee. They also did not serve freshly squeezed juice, only canned stuff which was a bit surprising. Interior is very spacious towards the front though the side area isn't as nice to sit. I can see this place as a good place for friends to get together for quick bite, watch some game, but place seems slightly over priced for what it is, at least from our visit. read more

I initially visited last year in the summer as I was in the area with friends and we desperately needed some coffee. To my surprise they have a menu with quite a variety of dishes. From soups and salads, to Latin entrees like palomilla, chicken, vaca frita, pork chops, etc which come with sides like rice and beans, tostones, fries. Appetizers include croquetas, empanadas, papa rellena and tamales. They also have a good selection of sandwiches. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Reservations not needed any of the times I've visited since. Nice bar area and complimentary valet on a building right next to it, you must mention it to the valet prior and then mention it to the restaurant so ticket is validated. read more

New look and design are great and give the cafe a modern Brickell touch. However got quite disappointed by the quality of the colada they serve now. Has no espumita anymore and the taste is not at the top level as before. Didn't have food this time, however the plates still look tasty and are in big portions read more

My favorite part of going to Latin Cafe is seeing Wendi every morning!!!! She's the sweetest person there I had the pleasure of being served by Wendi during my recent visit to the restaurant, and I can confidently say that her service was outstanding. From the moment we were seated, Wendi made us feel like VIPs. She greeted us with a warm, genuine smile and was incredibly attentive throughout our meal. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, and she made excellent recommendations that made our experience even better. What truly set Wendi apart, though, was her thoughtful and personalized service. She checked in at the perfect times, ensuring we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. Her positive attitude was contagious, and she created a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere that made the meal even more enjoyable. It's rare to come across someone so dedicated and passionate about their job, and Wendi truly went above and beyond.. I highly recommend asking for Wendi if you're visiting this restaurant her exceptional service will undoubtedly enhance your experience! read more

My friend and I went here for lunch. We changed tables a couple of times to see if anyone would take our orders. When a server finally gave us menus. He kept staring at my friend who has dark skin, then disappeared and never came back. We waited a bit more but got the message that we were not welcomed there. Latin Cafe 2000 is for Whites Only. I can't believe this is still a problem in my country. read more

Absolutely horrible customer service. Ordered via Uber and they sent me the incorrect item. (See the picture with the receipt and what they sent) All I ordered was vaca frita and they sent me a container with 6 shrimp. Not even close to what I ordered. No problem because things happen right. I call over there and they don't even apologize that they messed up the order. All they could say is take it up with Uber. I asked to speak to the manager but he was too busy to talk to me. The managers name was Juan according to the guy I spoke with. I feel like the entire purpose of a a manager is to handle situations like these so the poor servers don't have to. This is the second time I try and order from here. I'm done. read more
