I've been to Latin Cafe 2000 several times before, and it never disappoints. I always have this restaurant to look forward to when I am in the Miami area. The environment is friendly, the wait staff is bubbly, and the seating is comfortable. The misters in the outdoor dining area need to be implemented EVERYWHERE. It was very hot and they made eating outside a much more pleasant experience. I always start with the shrimp ceviche, and you should too. Theirs is the best that I have ever had, and the same sentiment is echoed by every person that I bring to this restaurant. It is bright and herbaceous and tangy. The plaintain chips that it is served with are crispy and never greasy, and the perfect utensil to eat with. The ham croquettas are light and fluffy. They are crispy on the outside but have the consistency of bread on the inside. They are a bit salty and savory, but served with a blackberry reduction that doesn't sound good on paper, but truly makes the dish and has to be experienced. I don't have much raving to do about the steaks. They are tasty and well seasoned, but nothing jumps out at me about them. They are just perfectly good, average steaks. Where this restaurant loses a star is in its menu size. The menu is too large and a bit difficult to navigate. It also seems to have a thing for attempting to make everything Italian, which is odd. The seafood options are very limited which isn't typical of a South Florida restaurant. Also, they don't have any Cuban drinks, other than sangria. Despite appearing to have a full bar, I was unable to get a mojito, which was disappointing. Still, this is a restaurant that is ALWAYS worth stopping at. Parking is ample and free behind and adjacent to the restaurant as well! read more

We flew out to Miami on a semi business trip so we were only there for 3 days. We were looking for interesting places to eat. We saw the Latin Cafe and noticed it had Cuban influence. We decided to have breakfast here. Now mind you we have been to NY, Pennsylvania, New Orleans, Gulf side of Florida and we've visited many cultural restaurants. But let me tell you what a different world in that restaurant. The food menu had typical breakfast items but the bread they serve with all meals is like Italian bread half loaf with butter toasted on the grill. Their coffee is served as an espresso shot and a cup of steamed milk. Their breakfast sausages had a different flavor. Their homefries looked similar to Italian potatoes with onions and peppers. The service from the waitress was sporadic . She was nice towards the end of our meal. The 1st impression didn't feel as welcoming as she was busy and running around. While taking our order she left mid way to finish another customers order. Towards the end of our meal she started to make conversation with us but would leave suddenly mid conversation. She is a very nice person with kind intentions but she obviously needed more help on the floor. For that type of restaurant her hand held ordering system I feel was not appropriate and they would benefit from old school writing it then entering it. For instance we had changed our mind on an item but she could not take or modify the order back because it was sent already to the kitchen. And with the rush she obviously did not have a minute to run back. Overall the food was edible, they over cooked the scrambled eggs I had ordered, like I stated before sausages had a different taste than chorizo or breakfast sausages, only 1 type of bread is served, but portions were a decent size. The parking was big and they take up 2 so parking here was not an issue. But it was an experience. I definitely 110% recommend coming to this restaurant with a native Spanish speaker. I got lost a few times making ordering confusing. Overall for me this is one and done experience. read more

The truth is this place is great! this is a local spot, and for good reason. they recently remodeled and revamped it. On saturdays during breakfast time they have a live band playing in the pretty outdoor space. Me and my husband ate here three saturdays in a row. because the food, the ambience and the price was exactly what we needed. Service was good, food was delicious, music was wonderful. I am Cuban I know Cuban food. I love Cuban food and this place needs to remain open for my entire life. Thank you. read more

Easy breezy local spot with reasonable prices. Definitely try the specials of the day. Simple arroz con pollo was delicious. Staff is friendly. Casual setting so good for families. Outside patio area is nice in the summer. Looked like a long wait for the lady's bathroom which was annoying for some customers. Enough parking if you come early enough. Closely located to the airport and hotels. read more

Prices are fair, service is great! Food is delicious for a great price. Their cafe con leche was delicious!

This place has parking, near the airport, fast service, large menu, indoor and outdoor seating, and good prices. This isn't the best food I've ever eaten so if that's all your after it won't be your jam but the rest of things I mentioned were what I wanted today. read more

Food is good, Service is quick, and the prices are very reasonable!! I love the Vaca Frita Sandwich!!

I visited here twice in a month's time, having enjoyed the authentic Cuban food and drinks. The servers are great and did their best to help an English-only speaking patron. Many locals, most appeared to be from Cuba and the Caribbean, patronize the patio making the experience richer. Highly recommended, especially for out of towners who want a tasty of Miami food and culture. read more

I was in the area for work and wanted something different than American fare. I ordered the red snapper with chorizo sauce with black beans and veggies for my sides and it was delicious! Would 100% order it again. I did t eat in but looked like it would be a great place to eat at as well. Has both in and outside seating. read more

I'm taking his time today to write a review on this restaurant. I believe that good food and good service deserves recognition, especially in a world where all we do is complain and take advantage of all the things offered to us. I love this place! My uncle and I consider this "our spot " we meet every other week to have lunch here This is our spot ! from the moment I walk in we are greeted with a warm welcome. I search for my number one server "Myra"- ready to bring a smile to our table and good service, that's the way I enjoy the delicious food prepared here daily!! Myra is amazing and my go to every time! Yum- E! The presentation is very appetizing. On Saturday enjoying some sweet sounds of Cuban music. Definitely recommend Latin Cafe! Go see for yourself! And ask for Myra! read more

best empanada i've had in South Florida. Fresh, tasty....very tasty, fast and friendly service will definitely repeat. read more

I had one of the worst meals in my life here yesterday. I have eaten here many times over many years. It is usually good and dependable Cuban food, not the best, but always good. It is walking distance from a hotel I frequently stay in. But last night.... I waited to see a waiter, and it was some time before I received my drink. A table sat down after me (different waiter) and immediately got their drinks. Their food arrived before I was asked for my order. After that I waited 20-30 minutes without seeing my waiter, and then a different waiter arrived with the food. It was cold - even the pile of rice and beans and platains were cold. The vaca frita was burned and basically inedible - if I had another option I would have paid and left, but it was late, and this was the only food around. Cold and charred and tough as leather. Just awful. After "finishing" I looked for my waiter for the check. Another waiter cleared my plate. Finally I saw my waiter by the door, walked over, and gave him some cash and left. I never did get a check. Awful experience. Never again. read more

Ate lunch at the counter. Delicious empanadas and Cubano sandwich. Great service, will definitely come back. read more

My husband was starving and this was the closest restaurant by the car rental place we had just visited so we decided to stop for a quick Cuban breakfast. I usually get the breakfast special that comes with eggs, home fries, ham, Cuban toast and cafe con leche (latte). My husband ordered the croqueta preparada. My food was pretty good. You honestly can't get eggs wrong unless you are a lousy cook. They were over easy just how I like them and the bacon was crispy. It included bacon, sausages and ham. As well as a big serving of home fries. I wasn't too thrilled about them. They were kinda mushy and the taste reminded me of Thanksgiving stuffing. But not as tasty. I've never had home fries with chunks of celery. I'm not a fan of celery so that was a negative for me. The other thumbs down was my tostada. They brought it out super quick and it seemed like it was NOT freshly pressed instead seems like it had been sitting there in the kitchen for quite some time. It was very soggy and not how a Cuban tostada should be- "toasty". My husband had the croqueta preparada and he said it was good. Not the best he's ever had, but not bad either. The fries he loved. Very crispy just how he likes them. Would I come here again, not really. Would I recommend? Only if you are starving and can't drive a bit further down to another spot or any local bakery! read more

The food was fairly good for a small chain restaurant. As Cuban food novices, we tried the appetizer sampler and found it tasty. Ceasar salad (needed a veggie) was from a bag. Sangria was good. The service was acceptable but the ambience outside is simply LOUD. Planes overhead and lots of traffic zooming by the outdoor dining is not their fault, and I asked for outdoor seating, so that's on me. If you're in Miami staying near the airport, it's not bad. read more

I visited Latin Cafe 2000 for the first time on Friday evening. I've heard so much about this Cuban restaurant, really known by many Miami locals. I went with my boyfriend and as soon as we came in, one of the servers said we could sit anywhere. Right away another server brought us the menu and we got a couple of red sangrias to start. They only offer beer or wine. Sangria was ok and served in a big glass. Then I wanted to try one of their sandwiches but since it was so late I just ordered a light sandwich and the lighter one there was the Veggie Pressed Sandwich. My boyfriend who was starving, ordered the Grilled Chicken topped with onion and sides of rice and mashed potatoes. My sandwich was delicious! The bread was magic! Also, my boyfriend said all his food was delicious although I tried the rice and it was pretty bland. For dessert, we ordered the Flan which was delicious and super creamy! And the Crema Catalana. The Crema had a good flavor but it was way too watery. Overall, it's a good Cuban place to try at least once if you are in Miami. read more

I have to say being of Latin descent I was disappointed with this establishment. The food was average and lacking the Latin flavors. This place is more of a quick pick up diner. Overall, if you cannot find a time to enjoy good Latin food then this will do for you. it's not that cheap either. Good luck read more

Definitely one of the top Latin places to go to, their Pan con Bistec is awesome, one of the top places to go to if you're looking to have an amazing churrasco. The ambiance is relaxed, there are tvs around the restaurant continuously playing the Spanish favorites throughout the day so you won't miss a thing, and the service is impressive, very fast and really nice. read more

Not sure why the reviews aren't that great. This place is bomb.com. But, I am an Asian girl from California who wanted some authentic Cuban food while in town - so what do I know? Except maybe that a local Cuban coworker took me here after telling him about my underwhelming experiences at highly priced tourist traps in downtown. This joint beats Havana 1957 - hands down ...with bugger portions, more flavorful food and incredibly low prices. Plantain chips were fantastic. Croquettes amazing ...and my vaca frita was so good that I will be craving that stuff while I am at home in Cali dreaming on Miami. Def a place worth checking out if you have some time to kill a locates close to the airport. read more

You have not had an authentic Cuban coffee if you have not had it here. I have 2 Latin Cafe's closer to me but I always choose this location because it does not relate to the rest. This locations is fairly big. There's a window you can order from if you're on the go or if you'd like to sit and eat you have the option to sit inside in air conditioning or outside by the closed patio area or around the restaurant. Plenty of places to sit and eat. We always like to sit outside because Miami has nice weather 80% of the time. The waitresses are always quick and helpful. Menu's, water and bread (depending on the time that you go) are always brought to the table within minutes of being seated. The food portions are huge for the price. For about $12 you can get a plate of Morro, Chicken and Maduros and eat that for lunch and take half for dinner because trust me, it's enough. It's delicious and always fresh. Once you enter that food coma from eating all that food you can wash it down with a nice Cortadito (my fav) or if you're still craving a little something extra try their flans. Coconut and caramel are my favs. The Sangrias are good too. I love the presentation and for the price, it's not bad at all it is actually very refreshing. Overall, fairly decent prices for good local Cuban food. read more

I'd give zero stars if I could. I would never even serve this food to my dog, she is above this quality. What kind of steak is this? Drenched in oil and breading falling apart when picked up. I don't think the meat could even be considered meat. The chicken was so dry that I couldn't chew it. The fries were cold, almost as if they had been left out all day in the frier and someone was too lazy to make fresh ones. The mixed rice and beans had chunks of hotdog in it... if you can call it that. Smelled like old shoe leather. This is the type of food you eat and pray you don't get food poisoning. You should be ashamed of yourself for serving this kind of food. read more

Daniela was an excellent server, I highly recommend the place and the server. Location is also perfect

The service was really good the wait staff and servers were amazing and food came out quickly. The empanadas were very good. However everything else just didn't hit the full not of Latin flavor. After talking with a friend we finally figured it out. It's like the Denny's of Latin food. Good but nothing special. Easy for kids I would say, just not where I'd return for the price of more flavorful food. read more

Very convenient spot next to the airport to grab a bite to eat of typical Miami Latin fare. Was able to find items I could eat that were vegan and everyone enjoyed a fresh juice and a mealbefore rushing to catch a flight. The server was friendly, helpful, and quick. There's not much of a view because the patio we sat at is sandwiched between a busy street and a parking lot, but it was comfortable and most of all, convenient. read more

Came in just for a quick coffee. Took 30 minutes for a cuban espresso to come out. Bussing staff was so sweet, main servers avoided our table outside like the plague. Not sure why? The other guy at a parallel table was so upset he went inside to order with someone else? Ended up ordering croquetas and empanadas, both solid for a quick lunch. read more

I spent my bday weekend in the beautiful MIA and our Lyft driver recommended Latin Cafe and said I that it was really good. It worked out even better because it was right across the street from the hotel. The food was delicious I order a flank steak with rice And sweet plantains!!! Of course it was a Cuban Restaurant and I could not leave without trying a Cuban sandwich and it was mind blowing delicious. I will admit I did order some churros and I was not impressed they didn't taste like a dessert didn't really have much flavor to them The waitress was very nice well all the staff was actually everyone that you made eye contact with didn't hesitate to say good morning! The atmosphere was very nice and clean including the bathroom!! I definitely recommend this place and on my next trip back to Miami I most certainly will be hitting this place back up again!!! read more

For food we ordered the Latin 2000 Sampler, Latin 2000 Sandwich, Pan Con Lechon, Cubano, and several Mahi Mahi sandwiches. Our favorite was the pan con lechon (the pork was juicy), followed by the Mahi Mahi. The other items were fairly dry, and didn't come with any sauces on the sandwich or side to help moisten it. Overall, everything was just a bit salty and greasy and lacking in other flavors. For drinks we ordered several cortaditos, a Cafe Cubano, and a Cafe Bombon. The cortaditos we're delicious. The Cafe Bombon cafe with a disgusting amount of condensed milk (50% of the drink), though I guess it looked nice? We were sat outside next to the band during brunch which made it way too loud to have any conversation. read more

You get a good amount of food for the price you pay. My favorite thing from this restaurant is the mariquita con mojo. Other things that I eat when I go are the Miami Sandwich and the Cuban Sandwich. There chicken noodle soup taste amazing. My suggestion if your from out of town stop by and enjoy some delicious Cuban food. read more

During a medical conference a group of us stopped by this restaurant since it was directly across the street.. I have to say that customer service was off... the employees were not welcoming at all.. the orders were all over the place, meaning the cashier didn't know whose order was what and the confusion set all the other orders back.. However, my food was very good.. I ordered grilled chicken, mashed potato's and salad... I have no complaints about the food.. the chicken was very well seasoned.. mashed potato's were great and the salad and vinaigrette was very good.. despite the long wait my food still had great temperature.. I am big on customer service and for that reason I gave this restaurant 3 stars, otherwise it would've been a 5 star experience for me.. I didn't get a chance to take pictures, because I was rushing to eat before the classes started again. But the presentation was good. read more
