I have only come to this restaurant/cafeteria for takeout and it always hectic. Either the staff is too busy chismiando and talking to attend you or they just don't care. For example, you walk up to the window and greet the staff and ask to pick up your order, they tell you to wait (they keep gossiping) 5 minutes later after they've ignored you they hand you your food that's been sitting on the counter right in front of your face for the last 5 minutes. Then you hand them your card....and guess what, expect to wait another 5 minutes for them to hand it back to you...you might think they are busy.....nooottt at alllll. Now onto the food, it's not bad but it's definitely not good. Many other places close by that cook great food and are attentive to customers. read more

The food is good. Service was good and ambiance also was good. Prices are good too they have lots of options. The fried yuca was so good. I do recommend this place. read more

The food was delicious and the portion sizes were very good that I couldn't finish everything on my plate and had to take some of it to go. Server was friendly although not always readily available and we had to often reach out to the other workers for assistance. read more

This is the second time I have come here. Today I ordered the fried pork with fries and salad. My review is still a three stars. The salad was too vinegary, I would have preferred to have dressed it myself. The fries were a little dry. The portions are generous. The pork chunks were huge and plentiful. read more

Amazing selection of Cuban Latin food, had a Cuban sandwich and it was great. Service is good and attentive. From what I understand this is the Latin cafe that was in the gables son's restaurant. That made the famous sandwiches in the 90's on coral way. read more

Trying to do so much in Miami Beach and elsewhere, we really didn't get our fill of Cuban food to be honest- but we tried to squeeze one more Cuban spot. Aside from the good dose of Cuban food we had in Versailles, hubs missed his chance there to get a Sánguche Cubano. Since Cafeteria was on our way up to Southwest Florida Airport, hubs took another crack at getting a Sánguche Cubano in this Hialeah spot. Greeting was straight to the point- but nice and seating was a no-brainer. Instead of butter on the Complimentary toasted bread, these 'Pan Tostado Con Mantequilla', had globs of unmelted margarine, which hubs didn't even touch. Menu isn't complicated and has a good amount of stuff to choose from. I went with white rice, Black Beans and an Enchilado de Pescado y Camarones (Stewed Fish and Shrimp), while hubs had the Sánguche Cubano. For one, the fish in my dish was chunky and very good as well as the sauce. But the baby shrimp, didn't give the dish any substance and tasted off. Second, hubs' Cuban Sandwich lacked those infamous, 'Cuban Sandwich' fixings. I don't eat meat- much less pork...but I can still brag a bit about the low grade ham used here. Bread wasn't toasty or flattened and the pork was sliced thick and so much of it. Hubs loves pork- but left most of it behind. Plus the sandwich just smell porky...ewww! Listen...nothing against strip mall eateries because we've all been to very nice ones. But Cafeteria is a sad example of strip mall food gone bad. read more

It used to be the five star local Cuban cafe now the chicken sandwich has gone up in price and no flavor. Their fries were so good now have zero flavor and there the crinkle frozen ones not even cooked to golden crisp. The Vaca frita portion was great but the meat had a sweet sugary plantain flavor. Very odd. The portions are great. The owners super nice but the people that answer the phone so rude. read more

Usually coming to this place you may not know about it unless you have family or friends that have been coming here for years. Located next to an ihop you have great Latin food. The family owned restaurant really makes you feel like family. Inside: not the best looking but still clean. It's a little small too but you will fit. I reccomend maybe 4 people as a group. You are brought fresh toasted Cuban buttered bread while you wait. On the tables they each have a handsanitizer and napkins. Food: perfect portion size, juicy and cooked to order. The chicken they use is the dark meat which makes it juicy but it's already filleted. You get 2 sides and the chicken entree also comes with fried plantain chips. Overall great place, great employees read more

This is a super simple-looking, basic cafe, but the food is simply amazing. Service speed can vary by how busy they are, but quality and friendliness is always top-notch. My wife who is a Media Noche fiend says this is the best she's had. They are indeed well made, and always consistent. The pork is soft and buttery smooth, fantastically spiced. Croquetas are nicely spiced, a generous size, and the perfect combo of crispy outside with a soft smooth filling. And the chicharrones are amazing. So many places treat them like an after-thought, but these clearly have great care in cutting and frying them just right. read more

This Cafe was recommended by a local resident as a place to get a Cubana sandwich & this place does not disappoint!! Mom & Pop type joint which is exactly what you are hoping for with Cuban food! The sandwich was fresh, hot & delicious! The only challenge is there was a large language barrier. If you speak only English you're in trouble! Locally there was a really nice Cuban gentleman sitting nearby who acted as my translator. I will definitely return if in the area again! read more

Homey and classic Cuban-Hispanic dining establishment. My wife and I frequented them almost every other day when we lived in Hialeah and we make sure to drop by whenever we make a trip back to visit family. Great service and amazing food at an affordable price. read more

This is good Cuban food period. Their ham croquetas are delicious and everything else is a safe bet. From their soups to their media noches to their rice and beans , you name it, they make it good. They are popular for takeout so there is always a line, your beat bet is to call in your order and then pick it up if you don't want to wait. My service has been limited to their little outside window but it has always been good. Overall a solid reliable spot for Cuban food. read more

Ok. So this place starts you out with a basket of buttered, toasted, Cuban bread and mariquitas. It was really good. I ordered the chicken steak with rice and salad. My buddy ordered a breaded steak with moro. The food was really good. I would recommend this place and will def come back myself. The only downside was the service. I ordered something I never got and the waitress didn't really come by to check on us very much. Once I'm done with me meal, I like to pay and head out, we were waiting for a while. read more

I absolutely love this little hidden Gem. Food is delicious, service is awesome, employees are great. You can not go wrong with this little spot. And they beautiful part of this place for the prices of these plates , the quality of food surpasses everything. I can honestly say it's probably the best Cuban food cafeteria located here in Hialeah Gardens. They have natural juices. I can't stress the fact that they serve actual natural juices. (Orange, watermelon , and guarapo). The palomilla steaks are huge. The portion are fair. And they give you the classical old school complimentary treatment of toasted Cuban bread with butter. So if your ever in the area, don't let this little place fool, try them once and you'll definitely be coming back for seconds. read more

This place has done some drastic changes. They used to serve so much food before, now it's much smaller quantity of food. The prices have sky rocketed as well. And let's not even mention the service, wow it's terrible no one seems happy everyone has an attitude poor customer service. This place went from one of my favorite in Hialeah to I'm never coming here again. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - Bién, pero bién recomendado!! This little treasure is worth the 3-hour drive from home, and will be a regular stop for us from now on. You may think you've had good Cuban food, but you'd be doing yourself a disservice to miss this. Personal recommendations are the Masas de Puerco and Vaca Frita - well-seasoned meat done JUST so perfectly - and for extra mmm, drizzle the rest of your mojito over... well, EVERYthing! The Congris, the papas fritas, dip your Yuca Frita in it... Also, DEFINITELY make sure you try the Maduros, fried sweet plantains, that I literally cannot recommend enough. And if you have room (we took boxes - the portions are quite generous), finish off with a nice hot Cortadito or Café con Leche. Cubans KNOW their coffee. Lastly, as if the amazing food weren't enough on its own, the staff is so friendly, accommodating, and prompt that it elevates the entire experience, and we cannot WAIT to go back!! read more

A few weeks prior, I was ready to give this neighborhood spot a solid 3 or 4 stars. Located in Hialeah Gardens' restaurant row, I enjoyed a delicious chicken breast in a plate that had more chicken than moros. My only knock would have been that the sodas are in cans instead of refillable. As another reviewer noted, service could be slow and friendlier to their regulars even when you sit at the counter cafeteria style. Fast forward to early last week, when I stopped by for dinner for my fat boy status dish of chicken milanese. I specifically asked for light cheese and heavy sauce, and this was the first sign since cheese was as normally is. One bite past the breading and the chicken was actually chewy and a bit cool as in not being properly cooked. The rice was also a little bit sticky, as in seemingly scraped from the pan. To their credit, they did prepare another plate and didn't charge for it. I didn't get sick, so that's why the rating isn't only one star but don't believe I'll be coming back. read more

Horrible customer service. The staff seems to not care about how the job needs to be performed. If you show up at 5am, you'll see the same chicharrones and empanadas from the day prior and not fresh made. The Cuban toasts are made with old bread and not fresh. By far, the worst Latin Cuban Cafeteria in Miami. Please hire a better staff. read more

Horrible food service we got catering for the week (which mean I paid in advance for 5 meals , i just had to pick it up after work. )first day was ok but form there on food quality was horrible in the sense of the rice being old even tho we called and ordered 10 min before. By mid week food was not pleasant to eat , we felt the was not prepared fresh and everything carried over to previous day. In the last day of catering service we got pan con steak which was unable to eat due the bread being rock solide for all four orders , had to throw food away. I don't recommend. I feel if you pay for catering for the week there quality is really low on food standards. But when you seat inside food is different. I don't recommend this place really bad experience . Waste of money read more

Dead insects found floating inside large orange juice during early morning breakfast. Food was stale and bread was hard as a rock. Miserable service. Had to ask for ice, ketchup and food was served cold. Manager was called and apologized but the damage was already done. Place does not meet proper hygiene and almost certain in violation of health and sanitary codes. Dirty dining will have a feast! Not recommended!!!! read more

Breakfast is so yummy here! Make sure you get the steak and eggs and hash brown $8.75 and comes with Cuban coffee. Regular breakfast combo with sausage, bacon or ham, egg, and coffee, toast and hash browns or French fries is $5.25 for all that! Coffee has not a lot of sugar but you can put as much as you need because every table has sugar in the table, including tooth picks, napkin, ketchup, and a big thing of hand sanitizer! Churros are 3 for $1 and $2 chirrarroches (fried pork skin) was so delish, so bad but so good! Fried food is my friendemy! Order a watermelon juice - so cold and . If you are around the area, check it out - you will thank me for the tips especially if you don't speak a lot of Spanish... Spenglish is accepted here ! read more

Nothing says 4th of July more than this place! Came here on a holiday and they were still open- unbelievable. I ordered the special, which included half of a roasted chicken, morro rice, and a salad, with a side of ajo and marinated onion in vinegar. It doesn't get more Cuban than this! This is your typical Cuban Cafeteria-style restaurant. I felt like a little kid going to my grandmothers house for dinner. I wouldn't particularly say it the best Cuban food I've had, but it's certainly convenient to know they're open at all times- rain or shine. For a huge meal less than $6, I'm all about it. And don't forget to ask for a mamey milkshake!! read more

Pretty good but not the best. I had a steak sandwich which was giant here. It was thick and had slices of ham inside. It also came with fries on the side. The service was about 5 minutes slower than you'd like. You kinda look for your waiter. & the prices are maybe $1-2 more than other Latin places around here. Eh. I wouldn't go back. read more

Excellent Food! Take it from a Latina who's mother was an amazing cook, this food was AMAZING! The churrasco was tender and well seasoned. And the chimichurri sauce was the best! The rice was perfectly cooked and salted just right. (Nothing is worse than unsalted rice). Highly recommend this place. Wish I lived closer, I'd come more often! read more

I visit this restaurant almost every week. The girls are amazing they work a lot and make sure you leave happy.

I come to this shopping plaza at least once a week because of the Publix and I swear I've always seen this tiny restaurant packed with people coming in & out. Decided to try them out for dinner and personally it wasn't for me. The prices are great because you get large portions but I just didn't enjoy the meal. The chicken was weird, the rice was tough, & the red beans came in a bowl with I think I counted 8 beans & the rest was sauce & meat. Huh? My dad said this is normal for a Cuban restaurant. I ordered two desserts (flan & tres leches) because no self control. One for here / one to go. Both were great so I'm happy with that. Might return for a flan & cafecito! read more

I asked for Boliche and I personally did not like too much. Very good service though, very clean, the waitresses are very nice and prompt to help you. Very nice environment.

Dishes come with two sides and you have many to choose from. read more

I love the little restaurant. Best authentic Cuban food believe me. The service is the best and the portions are huge.

Amazing hidden cuban food spot. Prices are low but don't you think the value goes low too. Because the value is outstanding. The medianoche's have LAYERS and LAYERS and LAYERS of ham and pork. The hugest croquetas i've seen also live here. A few milkshake flavors go for as low as 1.00 $ unbeatable! I also every once in a while stop by for their to go special of grilled chicken ($4.99). It comes with moro rice and plantains with sauteed onions on top. You have to be a pretty heavy set person to be able to finish it in one round! Great job and keep up the good work Latin Cuban Cafeteria! read more

I'll give them three stars because the service is consistently slow and unfriendly. However, the food is good. They have really good home made croquetas which are huge and a steal at $1 each. If the manager could read this, I'd suggest hiring waitresses who don't hate their job. read more
