Came here last night around 11:30 PM to recharge for a night of studying. It was one of the few places still open so we decided to give it a try. I've actually ordered uber eats from here once in the past and found the food to be good quality. There wasn't a lot of people inside so there were plenty of seating options to pick from. Side note they also have a quick stop window outside as well. Our waitress quickly took our orders and brought us water, but that was about the only quick part of the service. After we placed our orders our waitress brought a basket of Cuban bread about 5 minutes later after she brought the water it was extremely hot though so I'm guessing they just came out of the oven. Then because my boyfriend was taking a while to decide on what he wanted to drink she said she would be back but didn't come until we called her attention about 10 minutes later. After he ordered his drink though she came back quickly with a bottle of modelo and a chilled glass which he appreciated. We then waited for what seemed like forever but was probably only 25-30 mins. We ordered a tuna sandwich and ropa vieja though not things you would think would take too long. Turns out while the place didn't look busy people wise they were very busy with online orders via uber eats. I noticed several people come in and out picking up delivery orders and they actually put my milkshake in a plastic cup thinking it was a delivery order. Eventually though our food came and it was worth the wait considering our only other option was going to be subway. The top of my sandwich was a tad burnt but it didn't effect the overall taste and my strawberry milkshake satisfied my sweet tooth. My boyfriend also devoured his dish and approved. Overall not a bad local Cuban spot with decent prices specifically if you're looking for a late night bite. However if you're in a rush I would consider elsewhere or order from uber eats or Postmates so you can just get it delivered to you. read more

See all

Pan con lechón is more like sliders. It was more bread than lechón, horrible and disappointing. If you guys don't want to feed people then just delete our orders and close lol. And stop making deals of buy one get one free if you can't get the right portion sizes. Also please wear some hair nets in the kitchen I think that's the least you can do for customer service. read more

This place was a surprise. An excellent surprise. The steak is always great. They really need to improve on how to cook the rice though. The consistency isn't there. You'll get some small patches of uncooked rice every once in a while. The amount of food you get is an absurd amount. Like, you get huge portions. For what you're paying, you are eating like a King. The ambiance inside is quiet and very classic. It reminds me of southern Spain. I would recommend Uber Eats if they deliver to you. read more

Ordered through Uber Eats. Arrived on time and order was correct. However not what i was expecting in terms of taste. Boneless chicken went straight into trash after taking one bite. Maybe try breading it? read more

Latin Restaurant - Boneless Chicken was pretty awful. Its just a tasteless grilled chicken breast hiding under onions. - Latin American Near Me - Miami, Florida

I stopped to have lunch and This was the most awful experienced I had. as soon as i got in the place seems very clean. First and foremost the waitress ( black hair skinny old lady ) looks at me and No Greeting or acknowledgment then I sat and waited for a good 15 min after waiting she comes and hands me a paper menu takes my order. Half way through the order she walks away i had to scream the rest of the order. waited for food after she served me she forgot to give me utensils i stared eating and i almost vomited i pulled a hair out of my mouth it was black and long. I showed her and no apologies. She took the plate came back with bill for 13.18 they loss a customer for life and every one i can inform. read more

Ordered through door dash and it was delicious! Huge portions of the main dish as well as the sides! We ordered the masas de cerdo and got 5 huge pieces of pork, and it was fall off the bone juicy! The chicken milanesa was also delicious and very big! Will be ordering from this place again! read more

I ordered from here last night from Uber eats base on the reviews on there, but I should have checked here first. What a big ass disappointment. How do you mess up chicken soup. It literally smelled and tasted spoiled. I threw it away immediately. Every thing else we ordered was just bland and dry no flavor what so ever. Every thing smelled great when it arrived and it all came on time but once we opened everything up it was discussing. Smh so sad! read more

This place has come to my rescue when I have needed a colada at any time of the day or night. They're open 24 hours. They're like Denny's except they don't have that weak office-coffee brew. They serve coladas, cortaditos, and cafe con leche out of a little window like any latin establishment in Miami. The price. Whenever I need a quick cheap meal, voila, this place is my option. If ever I need a media noche, cuban sandwich, or quick breakfast this place is the best option in Sweetwater. A meal just for you is less than $10. And if you're having breakfast with some friends, it's probably around $20. And yes, it's in Sweetwater so it's pretty common knowledge that your service will be in Spanish. It's a fact of life around here and you have to live with it. Great service, I'm usually just a minute or two at the window and I've got my coffee and maybe a pastry. Best of all, it's open 24 hours. So drop by after your late night partying or if you have to come in at work at the crack of dawn and need a strong dose of coffee. read more

In a shopping mall but difficult to find parking as it's full. A medium size restaurant and looks pretty decent. Upon sitting down, they're quick to service you. I ordered the Thursday special which was Rabo encendido or oxtail. They failed here as the food was lukewarm and half of the meat was rough and the other was just ok. I wouldn't return and won't recommend. read more

I've been coming here for years, this place never disappoints. Friendly staff a large menu to accommodate everybody. It's our go to when we don't wanna venture out too far. Recommend it read more

Latin Restaurant - Yummy Cuban comfort food ! - Latin American Near Me - Miami, Florida

This restaurant hits the spot. The food is good quality, the service is fast and you get 5% cash back... what more can you want? If you are in the sweet water area, pass by here for your typical Cuban Cuisine. This spot will not disappointment. I love their "palomilla steak with some sautéed onions". The plate is finger licking good ! read more

Really like this place, it has a homey vibe. Their food is always on point. My favorite dish is the chicken Gordon blue, it's divine!

Horrible service, waiter was extremely rude, we weren't even greeted when we came in, food was great however waiter selma or delma didn't care to check up on us we had to ask for her service read more

I love this place because is so close to my house,I came here because went I finish at my work every night I came here to take my breakfast,the waitresses are the best always soo!! Sweet but the only thing I hate on this place is the kitchen the kitchen take for ever even at3 or 4:00 am is not in rush they take 30 minuets to make a ham omelet read more

Honestly I'm a sever myself and I'm usually not picky at all I understand the Resturant life but when I tell you I'm never come to this place ever in my life i do not recommend it I just waited an hour for my food which was fine but when I get home to eat my steak is raw couldn't even eat it the fettuccini Alfredo I ordered must be the worst I've ever had in my life the chicken was burnt and they only sprinkled oil on it I'm honestly in disbelief on how bad the food and service was the server discouraged me from ordering food I don't recommend this place at all and I will never be coming back read more

Guys bare with me but PLEASE READ Honestly I have never EVER EVER EVER experienced such disrespected and discriminated against in my entire life. I first made an order at 10pm and the lady Vanessa told me it would be ready in 20 minutes. I showed up to the restaurant 1 HOUR after my call, I get there and no food! JUAN was so dismissive and came up with a receipt with my name and number and order and he was speaking so fast then walked away. At that time I did not pay for my food so I decided to order from doordash at around 11. They confirmed my order and I was waiting! Two drivers went there and left and the third driver went there and I was speaking with him, they told him that no one put the order in! How can this be so when they confirmed the order. I had to WALK down to the restaurant to confront them because now it was 2am in the morning and no food no call!!! I get in there with my friend who speaks Spanish because I don't, she approached JUAN very nicely and was explaining the situation but again he was so dismissive and disrespectful. They gave everyone their food but us! we were still waiting because the food hasn't even been prepared! JUAN started dissing us in Spanish raising his voicing talking about how there are so many more restaurants out there we can go too, he's not going to do anybody else's work. I had to contact doordash and let them know what was going on because how I pay for delivery and had to end up going to the place??? I would never recommend anyone to go to the place and JUAN needs to be FIRED ASAP he's making the establishment look so unprofessional. Stay away from this place!!! read more

The one star is for the food which was tasty, once it arrived. Our experience in this restaurant was deplorable thanks to an awful waitstaff who had no business being in the service industry. While we understand that everyone is short-handed, it only takes a few kind words from servers to patrons to keep them patient and considerate of the situation at hand. Our waitress only made eye contact when she brought the check, after keeping us waiting for it an additional 20 minutes for it. While we were there, an older gentleman came in and asked a young woman if she could spare some change. She very generously asked the gentleman to sit down and she would buy him lunch. He gratefully sat at small table near her. After a long while he finally got the attention of another waitress who rudely told him to wait his turn. He told her he didn't need a menu and simply wanted a plate of rice, fried eggs, and juice. Others came in after him, whose orders were taken and filled while he continued to sit in their midst. In the interim, our order came to us piecemeal, making it an awkward situation at our table as we'd gone out for a nice family meal. My aged parents chose a to share a meal which came 30 minutes after mine and 25 minutes after my brother and sister-in-law's dishes. It did not escape us that a handsome man came in about 15 minutes after us and was served the dish which I'm pretty certain was my parents', 20 minutes before there's was placed before them. The waitress which was tending to us and the older gentleman at one point told him he was going to get his food when it was ready and he'd have to eat it outside. This, because he simply continued to inquire as to why his meal was taking so long. Why shouldn't he? He was likely a lot hungrier than anyone one of us there. We couldn't wait to leave and chose to get our coffee elsewhere. The woman who tended to us was a middle aged woman with long hair (a wig) and glasses. Humanity. Kindness. Equity. These make everything better no matter where you are. Never again. (I gave her 1/2 her tip and the other half went to the old man still waiting for his lunch when We left.) read more

This Latin America has to have the worst service out of any restaurant in Miami. It will take you 40 minutes to place your order with the waitress and another 2 hours (LITERALLY) to receive your food. The restaurant is completely short staffed and will leaving you hanging to dry. Don't go here. Ever. read more

I , like everyone else, have a list of my top 10 restaurants here in Miami. This humble place is easily in the top 3. Its a Cuban restaurant that of course, serves Cuban food , but you will find a few surprises on the menu. The food is amazing , i mean really really good. Always clean, the service excellent. I go here probably the most out of all restaurants, the sandwiches are always winners .. ( i went down the list and have had every sandwich ) only problem is they used to deliver ,but not anymore you have to lower yourself to uber. I highly, highly recommend this 24 hour simple and humble place ... i even get " cantinas " from here for the week many times. read more

I live in Broward went down to Miami for House of Horrors, after the carnival was closed the only spot listed open in the area was Latin Restaurant. Starving and wanting something other than McDonalds, I called and put my order in. I purchased an appetizer sampler for two. I believe it was called the bandejasabor latino, it was so much food!!! Very surprising the pork chunks were cooked perfectly. Great prices and open all night and can be delivered thru uber eats. Definitely saving this spot as a hot spot. read more

When I came in to this restaurant it had a bad smell I don't know if it was just a person eating next to me in the restaurant but It smelled really bad. Food was OK, I got a baby churrasco with rice, tostones and a noodle soup. The soup was a little salty. At the end I went to the bathroom. It was really nasty, it smelled really bad and it didn't have toilet paper. I think for a restaurant having this really bad odors is not good for the business, it doesn't take a lot of work just to have a clean odorless place. read more

Horrible place !!! I had ordered a regular Cuban sandwich & there was a huge bug inside! When I told the waitress , she's like "it probably just flew in there when you opened it" UM no sweetie! The bug was fried! How disgusting! Never going back read more

Cuban spots in Miami are just another me too business in this city. Ive been to all of them and being raised in Miami you have seen it all. This small restaurant keep the roots of all the original cuban spots in Miami. Inexpensive cuban food , family inviorment , 24 hrs of Service . This has become my spot to take Abuela and the kids. Service is great and allwayz get greeted with a smile. They have Uber eats and again 24hrs . Good place to eat after a night of dancing or when u get them munchies. read more

Absolutely love this restaurant. The food is great and well presented and you cannot beat their prices.. Additionally, the staff is very courteous.. My husband and I have been back quite a few times since our first visit for breakfast, lunch & dinner & never been disappointed.. This evening we invited four friends and they were very pleased with the food and surprised at how little we spent for a dinner for six. It's a family atmosphere where you really feel at home.. My favorite waitress is Miriam.. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I always regret eating here, the sandwiches are pretty gross and the food is below average, when we walked in they had everyone sitting in the most uncomfortable area of the restaurant, then they started to clean, it was very cold in there and the guy cleaning turned on a huge fan in the isle. I couldn't wait to leave. I went there because it is the only place that's open 24 hours a day but I am pretty sure this was my last time there. read more

Had El Perico for breakfast with turkey and the house potatoes and it was great. It comes w/ tostada and a cafe con leche all for $8. My bf and I sat the bar and the service was ok other that it's worth it read more

Food quality- average Price-ok Service-very low quality Only Spanish language (the worst) Food preparation- very slow Sitting area at midnight is just the front bar! Uncomfortable! they supposed to give 10% discount to FIU students, but when it comes the time to pay they wanted FIU ID from all my guests ! which does not make sence ! I will never go there unless they make some changes to the employees and teach them how to talk and deal with customers ! read more

I come here atleast once a week for that $2.99 breakfast and they dont dissapoint. This is the best value when your in that mood for for eggs, papas tostada and cafe con leche. The staff is always friendly and they are open 24 hours. Love this place! I still gotta try there lunch and dinner. read more

Amazing.cheap.good food.good portion and nice old customer service.great for late night munchies

This restaurant is terrible, I saw the reviews I thought it would be a great place to eat but I would say otherwise. They took an hour to make me a pizza and when I got it, it was cold. My girlfriend got 2 eggs, bacon, and fries and she got her food cold after waiting an hour for it. I wouldn't recommend it as you'll be waiting forever for your food. Terrible experience. read more

This place just gave me the worst stomachache in the world. Not sure if I have food poisoning.

Awful service! Treated me like if I was a dog we sat for 9 Mims with no service over hear the woman talking smack. Then we order our food it took 15mins. The most beautiful thing is the woman literally throws the plate like it we are dogs. Like who do you think you are. What type of costumer service they teach these ladies and it was my first time with it oh never brought me my coffee and 15mins into my food she comes with the basket of break n again toss it over to our table like wooooow. read more

i ordered from this place for a few friends and ended up waiting for my food to be delivered for over two hours, got very rude service over the phone, got hung up on four times and kept being told my food was being "packed up" when it just wasn't. it took one of my friends getting very assertive on the phone to get the food finally packaged and prepared, which was at almost 4 in the morning. the food was fine but really wasn't worth the trouble and time wasted. i won't be trying this place again, unfortunately. read more

if I can give this place ZERO stars I would... i know this review is long but please read in entirety! I have never experienced customer service so bad like this In my whole life ! I placed an order over the phone. The lady, Vanessa told me it would be ready In about 20-30 minutes for pick up, when I arrive in an Uber to pick my food up! It was not ready. Mind you this was at 10PM. Past the time frame they said our food will be ready, so I decided to leave back home to do the order on door dash, I figured it would be more convenient if the food was delivered to me. WRONG. I had two door dash drivers cancel to pick up because they were taking long. On the third one. I decided to walk late at night to the restaurant it's not 1:30AM & I still don't have my food! When I arrive to the restaurant. JUAN is rude, dismissive and assumes that because of the color of my skin i do not speak Spanish when I asked to speak to the manager. The manager was also dismissive. Ignored me twice. I was yelled at the entire time, Juan was yelling at me saying that it wasn't his fault that my food was not ready and that I could go and take myself to any other restaurant around if I can't wait. IVE BEEN WAITING FOUR TO FIVE HOURS FOR MY FOOD. I went all day without eating due to the fact that I was studying heavy for an exam. (I'm a student at FIU) everyone in the restaurant was getting their order before mine. He said I wouldn't get my order unless I had an order number, which I had already gave him since I walked in the door! He threw my food on the table beside me and said "here's your food. I'm not paying for dirty dishes that others dirtied so don't act like it's my fault that your order took so long, take your food and go" he didn't even have the decency to give me my food with manners. I felt so violated. Discriminated against, and humiliated. I would never give this place a dime. If I was dying of thirst I wouldn't even stop here to even get a cup of water. JUAN. VANESSA. AND THE DISMISSIVE MANAGER SHAME ON YOU!!!!! read more

I love this place! I go for breakfast mostly! Eggs with ham, fries, cuban bread and cafe con leche for 6$! So cheap and yummy! The flavor is so delicious! They also give FIU students 10% off and that's always a perk! Definitely recommend it ! It's also open 24 hours! read more

This place is amazing! If in the area a must try is the fricase de puerco (unfortunate they only serve it on Fridays as a special). It's outstanding! Service is great and even with takeout they give you bread, which is hard to get in Latin restaurants. Their batido de mameys are one of the best I've had, great for a late night recovery drink. Don't slip on this local Cuban restaurant! read more

A perfect place to satisfy your midnight hunger pangs. The place serves good latin food which is bang for bucks. My personal favourite is the fish sandwich. Its right across the FIU engineering centre and the sweetwater police station.. So pretty safe even at the 3am in the morning. I would definitely recommend it as a coffee place. read more

Food is good but kind of expensive. Be careful because in the final check the tip is already included. And the server won't say anything.

Their $5 breakfast was very delicious. Genius notion to put the grits in a separate, small container inside the to-go plate. Their coffee: DIVINE! read more

I only had breakfast here once. I arrived there early in the morning for what I thought was going to be your typical Cuban breakfast. I had the breakfast special which consisted if 2 eggs, ham, house potatoes or fries, Cuban toast, and cafe con leche. The place was clean and the service was okay. The food did take a bit longer to arrive to the counter than it should have. Just stay away from the house potatoes. It must be a Central American breakfast treat. It's basically boiled potatoes. No seasoning. No flavor. read more
