I was expecting a tiny, cozy, mom and pop place, but this restaurant is rather large! It wasn't terribly busy, so it FELT like a mom and pop place, with the attentiveness , friendliness and helpfullness of everyone we came in contact with. Hubs wanted to try a Cuban coffee and took the opportunity to do so here. He enjoyed it, but said one was definitely enough. We both ordered the Cubano Especial, which if you don't know, is a standard Cuban sandwich, but more of it. I should have stuck to the smaller version because these sandwiches were gigantic, and I couldn't finish it all. Hubs even struggled, and he can eat! If you're new to Cuban food, this place is the place to start. Good food, good prices, and good and friendly service. 92/2025 read more

First time to this new location. Everything was great. My friend got the ew York steak meal and I got the 2 eggs breakfast with an order of croquetas. Everything was amazing. Thank you Scarletvfor your great service. I will be back whenever I'm in town again. The place is cute and not too loud for a Sunday. read more

I've eaten here a few times for breakfast and lunch. Service is a bit laid back (typical for the area) but helpful and attentive. Food is amazing! Today, I had a Cuban burger and it was excellent. Flavorful and a good sized portion. It comes with their small fries (toothpick size) so you might want a side. read more

Great delicious food! The ambiance was welcoming and relaxing. We came here for quick last minute dinner and did not disappoint. The renovations look great. Service was excellent food came quick and drinks were delicious. Thank you! read more

I've been coming here for years. They've recently moved and opened a brand new restaurant which is an upgrade from the previous spot. Food remains consistently good, fresh and served quickly. Service was good overall as well. My biggest problems were the portion sizes (fried cheese) and the very noticeable price jump on everything. So we're paying more for less. See the tiny fried cheese they're serving now. Picture uploaded. They're Half the size of what they use to be, and for more money. They taste great but I wasnt happy with the new portion. Mentioned to mgmt but was told that they're not shrinking the portion, must have been the way they were cut. Mhmmm. My last visit saw them smaller as well but today's visit was indisputable. That's why the 4 stars. I use to feel I was getting a value. Now, it feels like I'm paying much more for less. Even the sizes of the churassco which is now $30. I hope they consider bringing back the portion sizes if they're charging more for the food. read more

Great Cuban restaurant with excellent service and a fun ambiance. The sandwich and plantains were great.

Parking available to the side of the restaurant. We arrived for breakfast and we were pleased. They had a high chair available for our little one to enjoy the meal with us. We were able to sit at a round table. The menu has a lot of options so you may want to give it a look over before arriving. We had the Dos Huevos Revueltos and the Marios Rancheros. We thought it was adorable that they had a special water cup just for our little one. The food arrived quickly and correctly. The watermelon juice was very refreshing! Major bonus, they have a 35% military discount year round. So you know we will be back. read more

We ordered take out to take to our hotel. It was DELICIOUS! Prices were fair. We called ahead and our food was already packed when we arrived. Nice young man took our order by phone. Can't wait to return to eat in. YCL read more

The new Building that they made is really nice. It started off with no parking near the front door. You have to park on the west portion of the restaurant and walk to the front door. In addition after ordering food was brought to the table and there were flies that wouldn't stop if I would've known this I would've sat outside. The service was good. The ambience was nice, but they could do better with the flies inside of the restaurant. I understand that the door opens it closes but still read more

I've been coming here for years and just realized I never left a review! If you live in Miami and haven't tried Mario's yet, you're seriously missing out. I always order the vaca frita with congris rice it's my absolute favorite. The meat is always seasoned to perfection, and the congris is cooked beautifully the vaca frita is flavorful, not greasy, just perfect every time. My husband always gets the chicken fajitas, and he finishes the entire plate within minutes! He says the chicken is super juicy, and the veggies have that perfect crisp not soggy at all. The side of beans and rice pairs perfectly with the fajitas. My nephew had the huevos rancheros and enjoyed every bite too. To wrap up the meal, I always get a café con leche, and it's made perfectly every time. The service here is always good friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The restaurant itself has such a cozy, homey vibe. It's the perfect hole-in-the-wall spot if you're looking for something affordable, delicious, and made with love. Overall, I'll be coming here forever, this place truly never disappoints. read more

We came here for the first time. I was so very excited that it had opened. We sat down and then no one helped us. They weited on the table next to us that had arrived later and forgot about us. We didn't even get to try the food, I was so upset that we got up and left. I could see how lost the waiter was. So frustrating read more

We came back to one of our favorite spots . We moved away from homestead. This was a a place we would go all the time for years . We were excited since it was remodeled. What a let down food was not the same . Smaller portions and everything was an extra charge including having onions it's a Cuban restaurant everything has onions. no bread given at the table anymore , it's a not the vibe anymore. So disappointed not worth the new expense price tag . read more

Basic Cuban sandwiches each with a slightly different addition. Not much difference. Nice atmosphere. Nothing special, but nothing bad to say either. read more

Great Cuban food! The service was fantastic! Next time I come to Homestead I am definitely going to eat here and recommend them to anyone in this area. read more

We loved it so much we went back our second night during our visit to the Everglades! Strip steak just melts in your mouth! Highly recommended! read more

Past bad experiences I couldn't let go.. the atmosphere didn't feel hygienically clean back then, They remoled and it looks nice probably inside and outside.. And it's probably better now. You'll have to try it yourselves. I may go again sometime .... Will see read more

They have a variety of food and they taste amazing! Their customer service is excellent and their waiters are always friendly and cheerful! However, lately I have noticed that their "pan con bistec sandwich's meat" is way too small!!! This leaves me hungry afterwards because I feel I have eaten bread only; they need to correct this or I will be eating that sandwich elsewhere!!! Their new location is amazing!!! I wish you the best!!! read more

Bad food. Greasy food. Rancid taste. Bad service. Cold food. Bad experience. Non-authentic. Without character.

My husband and I, lured by the promise of authentic Cuban flavors, stumbled upon this hidden gem and emerged hours later, pleasantly stuffed and thoroughly charmed. The media noche was incredible. Toasted bread crackled with each bite, cradling layers of juicy roast pork, creamy Swiss cheese, tangy pickles, and that magical Cuban mustard. Each mouthful was a perfect balance of textures and flavors, the richness of the pork harmonizing with the bright pickles and melty cheese. Of course I had a jupina with my sandwich! My husband, meanwhile, was lost in a love affair with his ropa vieja bien tostada. The shredded beef, slow-cooked to silken perfection, whispered tales of smoky spices and deep caramelization. The meal was paired with congri rice, earthy black beans, and a plantains. read more

We went on a recommendation. Mario's must have been having an off night because we were not pleased. I prefer to accentuate as much positive about any restaurant, but I just can't from this visit. Use your own discretion based on the following: Appetizers: My beef empanada came out ten minutes before my wife's cheese sticks and both were not warm. We immediately realized we may have made a mistake. Entrees: The steak my wife wanted was not available so she settled for an alternative. Food arrival took 45 minutes. The chicken strips were small, from poor cuts, and contained gristle. We saw that requesting corrections would take an inordinate amount of time. Status checks from the waiter were nonexistent. We had to go to the bar to get water refills after requesting them of the waiter. Dessert: My first choice was not available so I chose an alternative and my wife chose chocolate cake. After 10 minutes, my dessert came out and we were asked if there would be anything else. When we said, yes, the chocolate cake, and we were told that it was not available. We immediately asked for the check so we could leave. Yet another long wait. I went to the bar to ask for change and was told a Manager would have to do that and I said that would be great. Never talked to a Manager who observed our interaction with the waiter as we voiced our displeasure. The waiter said he was doing the best he could. Again, they could have been having an off night, or, my guess is that the waiter was spread too thin by Management. Whatever the cause, it was not a pleasant experience. And, whatever response the restaurant choses to post here is immaterial as the Manager was within 15 feet of our interaction with our waiter. It would appear as if he chose not to participate in any interaction with us. That is what a Manager is for: to intervene and manage points of contention between customers and staff that arise due to issues with restaurant service. read more

Absolutely loved this place! The food was delicious -- every dish was flavorful, fresh, and made with so much care. You can truly taste the quality in every bite. The new restaurant ambiance is super nice -- modern, clean, and very welcoming. It's such a beautiful space that makes the whole dining experience even better. And the customer service? Unmatched. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. One small suggestion: adding specialty iced lattes to the menu would be a game changer! So many restaurants are attracting customers with creative iced coffee options, and I think it would definitely bring in even more people. Highly recommend -- we'll definitely be back! :) read more

i used to order mario's on a weekly basis. their over-the-phone order have been horrific. if someone picks up, they place you on hold for over 15 minutes (thats insane). i have literally been on the phone and drove up in person, parked, and the women attending is just chatting away with random people and other coworkers while i was waiting on the phone (i walked away). calling now, is unreachable. its crazy that they opened a new restaurant and suck horribly at online or phone orders. its not the same at all, its worse. orders over the phone were so much simpler before their move. now its a mission. call barely get through. it doesn't go through 75% of the time. its sad. read more

Mario's waitstaff was friendly and the restaurant was spacious. They begin the meal by serving you the small buttered toasts. My friend ordered a cafe con leche; interestingly, the coffee cup was filled with warm milk and the coffee was served on the side in the pot. There is, truly, a first time for everything. It was good, nonetheless. To eat: -I ordered the pollo frita. Tasty, but a little overcooked and fried for me. Their boiled yuca was delicious with the oil and onions. -The masitas de puerco were fully cooked but a little under fried, could use more time drying. And a little too chewy and fatty: . I will return for sandwich at the sandwich counter! read more

I haven't gone to Mario's recently until I revisited yesterday for a 930 breakfast with my friend. I've been going to Mario's for the past 30 years , though not frequently. I'll say they have the best churassco I've ever had. However yesterday I was disappointed with my breakfast. The bread was buttered but cold and not toasted enough. My Mario's huevos was great except the black beans came out fully cold while my perfectly cooked sunny side up eggs on tostones were warm and waiting for warm black beans. By the time the waitress came to return my black beans to have them reheated until the time the warm beans returned the eggs were cold. I did not enjoy the breakfast. However the cafe con leche was delicious, the best in Homestead. I even had 3 cups. My friend loved the coffee. Mild not bitter. Her portion of bacon was cooked perfectly and she had so much she even took the rest home. read more

I remember when Mario's food was good and service was mediocre at the old location. Now they have improved on their service and their food quality have drastically decreased. I ordered the pork chucks with salad and yuca. The yuca wasn't cooked well enough it was still extremely hard. The pork had no flavor but it was extremely tender. The salad was nothing special , a bed of iceberg lettuce, 3 small slices of tomatoes and a few onions. My children ordered Mac and cheese, pizza and a burger. The burger was very over cooked pretty much burnt. The burger meat could not be eaten. The pizza was ok nothing special and the Mac and cheese looked like it was the microwaved Kraft single serve cup. read more

Desde que estan en la nueva locacion, a pesr de ser un mejor sitio, mas amplio y bien cuidado, todo ha empeorado, se demoran mucho en el servicio, la comida ha perdido calidad, la medianoche que era un pan enorme ahora lo hacen con pan de hot dogs, el bistec encebollado que eran dos trozos ahora es solo uno y pequeno, los tamales super pequenos y secos, la vaca frita si no te la dan seca y muy crispy entonces te la sirven igual de seca pero como si estuviera sancochada, ah, y eso sin mencionar que subieron los precios!! En fin, no se si cambiaron de cocinero pero definitivamente ya no es lo que era a pesar de estar en mejor lugar, todo peor! read more

Every time I am in Homestead, I look forward to lunch here. The various seafood options are always delicious and well prepared. Braised beef, plantains, tostones, and much more.

New building horrible service. Front girls don't know what they are doing they keep skipping people from the list. Sit you down waited 20 mins not even a waiter come to say hi or a cup of water while others that were in line after you got the cafe con leches and breads. Have been a customer in old location for a while last visit there was a roach. I gave it the benefit of the doubt new locations no roaches yet it was a horrible experience. read more
