Do you want to fell like back in Cuba? Come here! I sat down and was greeted with a very serious square face "¿que quieres?" I ordered a chicken soup that was 2 stars at best, then I asked her about the pork sandwich and she lost her patience, so her explanation was "¿lo quieres i no?" The sandwich was good, maybe 4 stars. The whole time there I got water once, my glass was empty, and all the plates in front of me the entire time, I finished and 10 minutes later nobody noticed me so I put $15 cash and left. It's been a while since I felt so mistreated and of course I'm not coming back ever again. read more

Decent prices in the heart of sweetwater with a little ventanita for those to go orders and regulars. Food is always enough to eat there and then some. Little pans are brought to the table but don't eat too many because it will be tempting to do so. Food is typical Latin food at generous portions and great prices. Small discount also given to FIU students with ID. Always a good spot. read more

Someone suggested Latin Restaurant for a quick family bite so we came in a group of 8 people. The place is big and it was not packed at all, they were able to accommodate us quickly. We placed our order and the food was good in general but it took a long while to come out, and when it did it was not all at once so we didn't like the experience. Other than that our server was very friendly. read more

Came here with my family for a quick bite and the place was just okay. Food took much longer than anticipated to come out and it was brought out peace meal vs all to gather which is not ideal when in a group setting. I was juts grateful food was okay. The server was very nice and checked on us multiple times to assure us the food was coming and to apologize for the long wait. All in all it was not a memorial dining experience and would not come here again. Not an expensive place. read more

La mesera de este turno tuvo muy mal actitud. Al entrar no los dejó sentar porque decía que estaba cerrado cuando solo era las 10:15. El negocio cierra a las 11.

This place has definitely changed--either bought out or under new management. I used to love their croquetas; they were sweet and salty with just the right amount of seasoning. Now they're just overwhelmingly salty and not the same. That being said, the ventanita service is amazing. The staff are friendly, and if you're a regular, they'll even greet you with a warm hello. read more

Seems they may have gone through an ownership change in recent years as so much has changed. They don't let you double on a side which is ridiculous when some sides are super cheap. They changed some sides to an app so they could charge more and then to make it worse they served me raw chicken. I didnt say anything because I just wanted to leave. This is not to mention the bartender and what seems like a friend talking about cars out loud so you couldn't even have a peaceful time. read more

This place used to make the best Frijoles Colorados ! We recently went back and it was a disaster. Our server was Yoan S and she lacks training to be a good server. We sat down and waited and finally ordered Frituras de Malanga which were good but were brought out with no lemon or hot sauce. Ordered their special for the day Cordero and it was 2 very skinny lamb shanks. On the way to the table the server dropped the sauce from the dish and mentioned that it was all over the floor but it took a male server much more observant to come few minutes later and wipe the mess. Our server was nowhere to be seen while the others went around the tables. The rice was overcooked (raspa) and actually hard. Will not be returning. read more

No saben como hacer un Club Sandwich. Don't know how to make a Club Sandwich. $15. Jamón picado hizo que se desbarató el sándwich. Small pieces of ham made for a sandwich that fell apart upon try to eat. Eliminaron mariquitas del menú. Eliminated plaintain chips from menu. Too much money for poorly prepared food. I'd rather buy ham, turkey, bacon, lettuce, pickles and bread to make a really good Club Sandwich. Ordered by phone and picked up about 9pm. Very disappointed when I got home. Had to eat because I was hungry. Lost a long time local customer. read more

Second time I come to this place. The food seems like it was leftover. I spent $40 last night. To receive my food very cold and Both of the chocolate shake was watery milk! The mash potatoes looked like it was made the day before and they just gave me some leftover food. After i told them to re do it the shakes, it was still just pure milk. Not a SHAKE. I do not recommend this place as the employers service are very poorly and they only care about money. It is crazy that I spent money on food that I did not even enjoy. It was ridiculous. read more

After a long adventure packed weekend, my friends and I settled down for a late lunch at the Latin restaurant. Going in today, there was plenty of seating inside. For lunch, we ordered 1 Latin Amanecer (Breakfast Steak & eggs), 1 Churassaco with added shrimp + fried egg, and 2 lechon asados (mine came with Moro rice and sweet plantains). Moving on with today's review, the food for most part was very tasty! For starters, all entrees served had a generous portions and were reasonably priced. The breakfast steak for instance was around $9+, tender, had yummy tang sauteed onions/tomatoes, eggs cooked right, and fluffy/Crunchy Buttery cuban bread! The Churassaco Steak (although requested medium rare) was like butter! Egg and shrimp of course just added more flavor lol. Lastly, the lechon asado was tender, but would've liked if it shredded apart more, and if the onions were sauteed more through. The Moro rice also was tasty, but it did taste slightly dry (meaning it mightve been sitting around a bit). Despite these things, our server was very friendly and attentive. Overall, Latin Restaurant has pretty damn good food at a reasonably valued price, and would be open to coming here again. AND BTW, they are open 24 hours!!! read more

Horrible service, by far the worst of Sweetwater. Spent 15 minutes waiting at a table, nothing.

Really good breakfast and super cheap. Best Cuban food on this side of town. Does not disappoint! Service is on point at all times.

Came here just to have breakfast and although the food wasn't bad, in fact the potatoes in my breakfast meal were delicious, the service what's not. I ordered simple Latin breakfast which comes with tostada, Cuban bread w/ butter, milk and coffee, separately so you can make it as dark or light as you like, two fried eggs, house potatoes and bacon. Although the server, older lady with black hair was quick with my water and the food she was not very hospitable or diligent on service, she brought me the coffee and bread quickly, too quickly, both were served cold. I don't mind when the coffee is warm and not too hot, however I do mind when it's cold. Any respectable Latin cafe/ restaurant will always serve you the tostada on the hot side, because they want the butter to melt and permeate the bread. Not here, not her. I understand it's only a $5 meal however, when one arrives one should be greeted, and even after I left her a gracious $2.50 tip she didn't say thanks, or even acknowledg me or it. No thanks, no see ya, nothing. It seems customers are a bother for her. I recommend going to LA Esquinita Habanera just across the street at least there, a place I have never been, I have a 50/50 chance of getting better service. Or even better yet just about two blocks away is a great little place called Rubídos Supermarket & cafeteria, There you WILL get better service, it's a 3 generations mom and pop and they have always been great. read more

Hands down best restaurant in town for authentic Cuban food. One of my favorites is the Latin Amanecer. Highly recommend and great value. read more

Latin Restaurant - Latin Amanecer - Latin American Near Me - Miami, Florida

Let me start by saying we have ordered from this restaurant at least 50 times. But after our latest experience they will never receive another penny from us. Take note folks, this is how restaurants fail... We made a simple carry-out order, which turned into a whole $hit storm. My wife and I ordered a vaca frita and they asked us how we would like the meat done - well done, medium, etc....Even this simple Gringo from Ohio knows that a vaca frita only comes one way...this should have been a red flag that something was amiss...but alas, we were hungry. We went in to pay and order, and after getting home, noticed that my side dishes were missing. Also, the beef soup we ordered was a chicken soup...No problem - we will just call back and have them deliver the correct order. The manager says he will have someone deliver it just as soon as they can. We only live 0.5 miles away. But it was the principle! Shouldn't be a problem considering they advertise on their front door "WE DELIVER", right? 1 hour later, and nothing. Not a phone call or a knock on door. So we call back. We explain what happened, and they just hung up on us. Called again, hung up on us. Called a third time and they took the phone off the hook... And this is when the $hit hits the fan. We drive back to the restaurant and the waitress who took our order of the phone has that deer-in-headlights look on her face before we can even open the door. Yep. You $%?!ed up. We ask to speak with the manager right away. He walks up and calmly asks us what the matter was, in Spanish. I ask if he speaks English and he responds in surprisingly good English that he doesn't speak English. Fine. The wife states our case, and eventually we have the entire restaurants attention, accusing them of mistreating us, hanging up on us, and just doing a real terrible job overall. The patrons had a good chuckle when I explained that they asked me how I'd like the vaca frita cooked. They exclaimed on Spanish to the manager, "Hey, come on man. He's not even Cuban and he knows you don't ask how do you want us to cook the vaca frita! It comes one way! Give the guy a break". Well they didn't give us a break. They pulled the side orders out of the counter - it had been sitting there the whole time. They forgot to give it to us. And they didn't bother to even try to deliver it. I explained - "I don't want a credit, I don't want you to remake it, I don't trust you. I want my money back." The manager tried to convince us to order something tomorrow and he will comp some of it, but my mind was made up. I won't do business with anyone that treats customers like this. So he promised to refund the order back on my debit card. It would take 2-3 business days. More false promises...they never refunded my money, and they've just earned a really great yelp review! Hope it was worth it buddy, and I hope this dissuades a few other people from wasting their money in this Mickey Mouse establishment. There's plenty of other Cuban restaurants in Miami - eat anywhere but here. read more

In the mood for a Cuban breakfast, I came to this spot after looking at their menu and deciding that I didn't really feel like cooking and that this spot was suffice. I noticed the FIU coupon on their website and went ahead and saved the coupon to my phone. I ordered the Amenecer Breakfast which was white rice, steak, tomatoes and onions, with two fried eggs. My boyfriend ordered a scrambled egg platter with the house potatoes on the side. The steak was a bit chewy but I wasn't going to complain either after seeing the price. My boyfriends potatoes were pretty decent. When I asked for the tab, I showed the waitress my coupon that I HAD JUST RECEIVED FROM THEIR WEBSITE and she refused to honor it. She looked at me in confusion asking if I even went to FIU. How else do you think I got the coupon? Then she had to take my phone to the manager and he declined it as well because the coupon was expired. I could care less about $5 but it's the principality. If your website is off, then own up to it. There's like 3-4 cuban restaurants just like this one within a blocks radius so I'll go and spend my money elsewhere. I would strongly suggest to the owner to vamp up your customer service and train your staff well because I cannot believe the treatment I received. read more

Older lady with short hair is super disrespectful and unprofessional. I work over nights since I'm a paramedic and decided to order a sand which to go.

If I could give zero stars I would. We sit down and the waitress takes approximately 15 minutes to get to us, not terrible but there are only 2 other tables seated and 3 waitresses. Anyways, someone else brings the food and she doesn't come to see if we needed to order anything else even though she neglected to bring straws and napkins, As we wait for her to come up to us to ask for the check we see her walking out SHE LEAVES AND WE HAVE TO ASK ANOTHER WAITRESS FOR THE CHECK. Not recommended read more

Very disappointed! First, the milk was cold. I had to ask them to heat it up. Then, my toast was to be served without butter. Got them with butter. Then, I got my Perico eggs with a piece of rare beef stock in it. My friend got her Cuban toast with cheese instead of butter. Incredible! And to add insult to injury, the manager came I addressed the issue as a joke. Finally, when he saw my serious face, he told me he wouldn't charge me for my meal. The least he could do frankly nor that I would have paid for it because I immediately asked him to remove my dinner from the bill. Don't recommend at all! read more

I always come here for with family ,and friends when we are craving Cuban food. The taste of the food is beyond greaaaat! Specially on their natural juices & shakes. I always get the batido de mamey which is amazing it's my favorite. Their breakfast is phenomenal (until 12pm they have their special for $4.99). -The restaurant is open 24 hours, they deliver as well. -Their parking isn't the best I will say that it is really restricted. Everytime I go theirs never parking I have to wait a good 5-10mins in the car to get a spot. -Thank god by the time you go inside theirs a lot of servers that attend you right away.
