My friend works in Coral Gables on Saturdays and I wanted to meet him for a quick dinner. I looked on Yelp and found this place. It's a Cuban sandwich shop and I know it's authentic because they speak Spanish. And I don't. Which is difficult but my friend is from Nicaragua, so that helped. I had the Media Noche sandwich, which is the same as a Cuban sandwich but it's made with sweet bread rather than Cuban bread. Ham, pork, cheese, pickles and mustard. It's delicious. My friend asked the young lady behind the counter what she would recommend, which might have been his way of flirting with her, I couldn't tell. It was in Spanish. At any rate, he wound up with the chicken sandwich. He was not expecting anything much but he was quite surprised at how good it was. It's not a fancy place. They don't have a sit-down dinner menu and most of the food is take-away. There are a few tables and chairs outside, but not many. So you might have to eat like you're on the subway; standing up. But the food is good and the service is excellent. Definitely worth five stars. read more

Mojito Grill - Mojito Grill. - Cuban Near Me - South Miami, Florida

Best pan con bistec in town, not even close. Been coming here for years. Do your self a favor and get one. Bread toasted perfectly, steak on point, onions perfectly grilled, perfect amount of lettuce and tomatoes sliced thin. Add some hot sauce by Crystal on it and next thing you know, you will want a second one. read more

This Cuban grill is a good quick stop for croquetas or a sandwich. It's a small shop with only a few tables outside, and the service is often good, sometimes fair. My son loves their croquetas, I usually get the croqueta preparada sandwich, and hubby likes the medianoche. The water jug only has the little "cone" cups, but if you ask for a "flat" cup, they will give you one. read more

Love this spot! It's one of my office top spot's to order. They serve a lot where you can share with someone else (if you don't eat a lot). It's affordable and it tastes good. The locations is small, so there isn't much seating area so we rather order than go there to eat. It gets busy. The staff is nice but not out of this world when it comes to service because at the end of the day it's like a fast food restaurant. read more

Cuban comfort food goes a long way... With daily specials priced so attractively and served so generously, this little spot in SoMi has become my refuge for my Cuban yearnings quite often. Personally, I'm not really into beans so they've offered to replace that side with the soup of the day which I find quite fulfilling honestly. I've had their picadillo, tostada, palomilla, pan con bistec, and their medianoche and have had a great experience each time. While I do wish they made their own shoestring potatoes for the pan con bistec and also served fresh mariquitas, I'm okay with it because the prices are unbeatable. Everything I order is ready within minutes which is great for people on the go like myself. They offer delivery during certain hours of the day but I've picked up all my orders in person because I find it faster. There's outdoor seating available which is great during the cooler months. It's reliable, affordable, and centrally located so I'd give them a shot when in the area. read more

Love to stop by this fast food Cuban grill for a delicious "pan con bistec". Service is always professional and fast.

Best Cuban sandwich in Miami. Actually fill it with lots of meat and just the right amount of mustard and mayo

There are a few things that need work on at Mojito Grill number one we ordered four appetizers and three drinks and that came out to over $50 a person number two the Tostones Reno with Rob Vieja were either old or impossible to bite with your teeth so we were only able to eat that Bobby Vieja in addition to this the band was setting up in the afternoon I guess for the evening and while we were there, we had to leave because the noise was so loud. Our tables and glasses were shaking. Furthermore, there's an added service charge and I can't begin to explain the $15-$16 service charge as a service was below average standards. read more

I have been to this restaurant many, many times especially for "happy hour". The tapas served during Happy Hour are delicious. The mojitos are excellent and they have a large variety of flavors. The ambience is very Cuban with excellent live music a few days a week. When we have friends from out of town, this is a great place to take them for dinner. read more

Mojito Grill - Cuban Near Me - South Miami, Florida

Very nice people, attentive and cordial. The food is yummy and well priced.. well above regular Cuban food!

Eek. Not great. We came in at a very slow time, so I can't blame the food quality on them being rushed. I ordered a pan con bistec, which was very tasty and quick, but I tried my friend's 'cheeseburger' and was very confused. First off, the burger was put on the same long cuban bread as my sandwich.... this meant that there was a hamburger patty in the middle surrounded by a ton of plain rectangular-shaped bread. Another friend ordered their Cuban Bowl, which consists of rice, beans, grilles steak, and plantains. We were all surprised when he opened the container to see one tiny shriveled up plantain. Luckily, they gave him another plantain when he asked about it, but it was very odd considering he had made a point to ask and make sure the dish came with plantains. The bigger issue to me is the condition of the restaurant. We're talking dirty, falling-off ceiling tiles, filthy AC vents (which didn't seem to be working very well- it was sweltering inside!), and an overall dingy interior. This is basic stuff that has just been left to get dirty and stayed that way- doesn't build confidence in the food.... This place is in need of a serious cleaning and some TLC and though their signature pan con bistec was very flavorful, this does not make up for the rest of the food/cleanliness/heat of the location. read more

Mojito Grill - Pan con bistec - Cuban Near Me - South Miami, Florida

I enjoyed my chicken bowl which consisted of fresh grilled chicken and onions, beans and rice, and sweet plantains. The black beans were delicious and the chicken had just the right amount of seasoning. The service was pleasant. The young lady took my order, relayed to the cook to grill chicken and the rest was already prepared. It took less than 10 minutes. It was an generous amount of food for under $10. I will definitely go back I would say this is a take-out more than sit down restaurant. There are a few barstools and a counter and several tables and chairs outside on the sidewalk. Some refer to it as a "hole in the wall", mama, papa, no frills type place with descent food. They are right, and that's a good and positive generality. There is parking in front if you get lucky, or street parking. read more

Mojito Grill - Cuban bowl. - Cuban Near Me - South Miami, Florida

Not what I expected for $18. I guess it's for all that premium grade arroz and that little bit of plantains and that piece churrasco. Lol lord have mercy... Edit: Nope, I'm sorry, I started at 2 stars and had to edit the review. The rice, it's hard and crunchy. I gave the meal to a coworker and he said it best, "the beans are the best part of the meal, too bad that's about it". read more

Mojito Grill - I regret this so much and that's unusual, I'm a fatty when it comes to food - Cuban Near Me - South Miami, Florida

Had an early morning cup of coffee (I was thinking NYC coffee when I ordered and was surprised to get a shot of coffee) A finch flew into the window on the inside of the place while I was waiting. They must have all thought I was nuts. I ran over and was able to pick it up and let it free outside. Anyway.....Coffee was good. read more

Grabbed a quick lunch at Mojito Grill on Saturday afternoon. Just ordered the Cuban Wrap and ate it sitting at an outdoor table. Quality Mojito Grill is a no frills Cuban spot in South Miami. It is a place to get some quick food, primarily for take out. I ordered the Cuban Wrap, which is stuffed with white rice, black beans, plantains, and either grilled steak or chicken. I went with grilled steak, which was actually much more flavorful that I expected. The highlight of the wrap were the bites of the rich and sweet maduros. However, my issue was the black beans overwhelmed the entire wrap. I like beans, but too much of it, especially the juice it soaks in, can be off-putting. I felt like the wrap needed some sort of flavor balance and the selection of sauces were limited and not what I was looking for. Quantity The Cuban Wrap is a solid size and makes for a filling meal. It is probably a little bit smaller than a typical Chipotle burrito, but close in size. Value The food at Mojito Grill is very reasonably priced, with my wrap coming in at under $10. I actually don't think I saw anything on the menu that was over $10, so at least the food is a good price. Ambiance Mojito Grill is found in South Miami within a strip mall commonly referred to as the French district. In the midst of three separate French restaurants and bakeries stands this little Cuban spot. The inside area is almost completely taken up by the kitchen. A counter runs around the area in case you are interested in watching or dictating how your food is made. They have a few bar seats at the window towards the entrance, but the grill makes the inside space very warm. After my food came out I grabbed a seat at one of the four tables they had along the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. Overall though it is definitely more of a take-out location. They had Spanish music playing inside at a loud volume, but outside it was pretty calm and quiet. Crowd A few people strolled in and out while I was waiting for my food. Most came just for a quick cafecito and were on their way. I would expect a larger crowd to form at lunch during the week, but it was relatively quiet on the weekend. Service The staff is definitely more comfortable speaking in Spanish, but I had no problem with my order. The food came out quickly and everyone working had a smile on their face. Parking You are able to park in the lot directly in front of the strip mall for free if you can find a space. Just don't venture to any stores outside the mall because you will get towed away; they have a security guard constantly watching. There is also plenty of street parking in the area nearby. Extra I was not particularly impressed by Mojito Grill's Cuban Wrap. While I did like the steak and the plantains, the black beans completely overwhelmed the dish. I also would have liked some sort of sauce to balance out the flavor. With so many other nearby options I think I would pass on Mojito Grill. read more

5 Stars for my absolute favorite wrap ever, their Cuban wrap. It is filled with grilled chicken, white rice, black beans, plantains and caramelized onions. This thing is huge. As soon as you take that first bite you know you're entering nirvana. The chicken is perfectly grilled, moist, full of flavor. The rice and beans add that burrito factor - a la Cuban and need I say much about the plantains? Of course they are the perfect ingredient in this wrap! All that deliciousness is tucked inside a flour tortilla, cut in half for faster indulging and delivered warm. They offer free delivery with a minimum order of $10. If you are in South Miami you should order this ASAP. If you are in the Falls area, I hear there is another Mojito Grill around there also! read more

Mojito Grill - Cuban wrap - Cuban Near Me - South Miami, Florida

I'm guessing I went on an off day, or maybe I'm spoiled by it's neighbor. Whatever the case, my experience at Mojito's was nowheree near to what I see other Yelpers have written about this place. Yeah, it's low priced and moderately fast but the food wasn't that tasty. As a good engineer, I ordered my "control group" dish. The chicken piece was a little on the small side and tasted greasy. Onions seemed burnt. The moros was served separately as black beans and rice. Seasoning was lacking by my standards, Ordering is a little messy, I think. You place your order and then wait to pay. It would be a little smoother if they did like a lot of delis and have a ticket system. Just my $0.02. read more

Our Cuban sandwiches were well below par. The ingredients were cheap and generic, without real roast pork or any semblance of flavor. Considering the location was not clean and the service was generally annoyed with our presence, I'd highly recommending skipping this place at all costs. read more

Where can you get affordable and delicious Cuban food fast? Mojito Grill that's where! I love this place, it's a hole in the wall but don't let it's appearance fool you. The food is great. They have daily specials and deliver till around 5pm. In my opinion their Pan con Bistec & Pan con Pollo is the BESTTT! SO YUMMY! It's not your healthiest choice, but man it's so good I could care less. The Cuban Wrap is also delicious with maduros, rice, beans, etc; Staff can be tough sometimes, but the food is too good to not return. read more

Mojito Grill - Pan con pollo! - Cuban Near Me - South Miami, Florida

If you like pan con bistec, this is a good place to go to in South Miami. You can pick your fillings - Subway style - as well. They cook the meat on site, and press the bread after making the sandwich to your tastes. One of my relative complained that the meat didn't have much flavor. But really, I thought it was good - the meat for pan con bistec tends to be thin, so there's not much flavor to begin with anyways. It's in the fillings. Cheap and generic establishment - nothing special, really. Good enough for the locals, but I wouldn't recommend it for tourists in town for only a few days. This place just offers good, quick, affordable Cuban sandwich bites - with Cuban coffee to boot! read more

Terrible service and attitude. Also 20 minutes late on the order for a prepared soup and prepared rice. Nothing that needed to be cooked.

Very nice food taste.... Pure Cuban. The location is small but the environment outside is amazing. There is even a security guard walking around, which is nice for safety. The people are very courteously respectful. You can order and do pick up as well. read more

Mojito Grill - Full menu - Cuban Near Me - South Miami, Florida

Been coming here for over 10 yrs. Have recommended to countless people. After my experience just now, I will never come back and felt everyone should know why. I was trying to place an order with a man behind the counter. It was just him and myself in the place. He rudely interrupted me and asked me to step aside for another gentleman who had just opened the door to come inside. Apparently, charging him for his colada that was ready was more important than allowing me to finish placing my order. He (the customer) even apologized and commented that the employee "curved me hard for no reason." AGREED and therefore, he lost my business today and forever. Chauvinist behavior doesn't sit well with women...and also that of good men. Shame on him. read more

In all the Cuban spots in Miami, this remains my favorite. Nicest staff and best food.

The best fast and casual Cuban food. Croquettas and sandwiches are their specialty. The croquettas and everything is always hot and fresh. There's not much room to sit - just a small bar and outdoor seating. Order the doctor's order- pan con pollo, 6 croquettas, and a colada (Cuban style coffee). read more

The best breakfast sandwich in town!! Cafe con leche tasted a little bitter espresso remnants-ish for my taste but the sandwich and cripsy bacon make up for it. read more

Co workers were ordering from here for lunch so I decided to give it a try. The delivery was fast! The pan con bistec (steak sandwich) has excellent flavor and seasoning but it completely fell apart when I tried to bite into it. It turned into a hot mess and became more like a deconstructed pan con bistec salad. I would eat here again if I had to but don't think I would go out of my way for it . There's just too many better choices nearby. read more

We had a great lunch here. My favorite is the wrap with steak. It's very juicy and the meat is delicious. Also had to get an order of tostones! Glad we did. Catering! I was so lucky to learn about the catering before my family dinner. We had the steak vaca frita with beans rice plantains and also ordered some appetizers. The whole process was so easy. The food was delivered very fresh and hot to my door. Everyone loved the flavors and no one went home hungry. Looking forward to using them again. read more

Tl;dr authentic Cuban, fast paced, friendly and delicious I went to Mojito Grill last week, looking for an authentic Cuban place that was walking distance from Red Commons UM. Luckily, I found this gem thanks to Yelp. Mojito is a small shop with the exact atmosphere that I was looking for. They have a straight forward menu and quick coffee options, with people coming in for a quick bite or drink. The cashier was brief but helpful and friendly. I got the Pan con Pollo and it hit the spot. The grilled chicken was cooked to perfection and the flavors were balanced with the sauce and bread. The sandwich was crisped in the press to the perfect degree. For these reasons, I'm giving the place 5 stars. O recommend you try one of their sandwiches. I definitely have to try the coffee next time. read more
