    Recently visited and LOVED the vibe! The ambience is gorgeous! Very cozy, and decorated so well! They had a lot to choose from, and decently portioned vegan options. Their black beans were my favorite! I ordered one of the vegan dishes with the rice, and it was okay. It was grilled veggies, delicious black beans, and a healthy portion of rice. I just felt the veggies were a bit bland for my tasting, but it was super healthy! They have a huge cocktail list and something for everyone. My friend had a mango mojito, and it was definitely something to write home about! I can't remember the other cocktails, but they were all delicious.

    Came here off the strip and loved the atmosphere. Things that could be better were food and drinks. Drink was SO sweet that i couldn't even drink it. It was liquid sugar. Food was VERY small in portion size so I ordered 2 entrees and it was just enough. The rice they serve with entrees is plain unseasoned basmati rice... weird choice. The beans also were unseasoned. Overall ambiance and pricing were great. But at the cost of having bad food and drinks.

    Stay away!!! This is the McDonalds of Cuban food! My wife and I were excited to celebrate Valentine's day with some Cuban cuisine but this experience fell short of short. I asked the server for his recommendation between the pork and the beef dish (21-22 on the menu) and he said "I like 21 better because 22, for me, is dry". Well, the only thing drier than the pork (21) is the Sahara desert. We also ordered an appetizer and it came out at the same time as the food. The server came out, asked how everything was and we had not really tried anything but a bite of the tostones and the boiled yuca. We said "fine" and asked for salt and the yuca didn't have any sort of seasoning. My dish was dry, my wife ordered the Cuban sandwich and it was not only dry, it also had no mustard (who makes a Cuban sandwich without mustard?!). It also had a big blob of fat in it (you can see it im the picture), DISGUSTING. Zero attention to detail. I walked in, grabbed the server and asked for the check. When he came to the table I told him about the food and he said "I asked you and you said it was fine" so I had to explain that we had had just one bite. I showed him the plates. Apparently he didn't care. No apology, offer to speak to a manager or to do anything to make it right. Horrible experience, terrible service and even worse food. Stay away. I do not recommend this place at all.

    This place was chill and their Cuban food was amazing. Our server was Sofia. She was so sweet attentive even though she was super busy. I ordered the pulled pork Cuban sandwich. It was so savory. I was very satisfied with the food and the service. Please try it! And a alot of areas to take photos too!

    Had an amazing birthday dinner here! It's so festive and I just couldn't stop smiling. Delicious food, nice portions and prices, great service! They made it a special evening!

    I wished I remembered their names... I just know they were really good

    If I could give half stars, I'd give 3.5. It wasn't bad but I wished the experience could be better! Hubby and I went on a Saturday the weekend of Art Basel, so it was definitely busy as expected. We even felt bad it's just 2 waiters for the entire restaurant, with one of them literally RUNNING from kitchen to table and back. I was afraid he'd trip with stuff in his hands and possibly injure himself and someone else. But all that chaos was understandable. What brought it down a couple stars is the food. Their namesake Cuban sandwich was not up to par, with the pulled pork cold and lacking flavor. The sauce it came with, on the other hand, saved the entire dish but it shouldn't rely on the sauce that's actually more for the maraquitas. The ropa vieja tacos were okay, meat also a little dry but at least it had more flavor than the pork inside the sandwich. The saving grace of this spot are the drinks. Unfortunately the names weren't memorable but they were delish! And I absolutely LOVED the ambiance and vibe. Felt like we were eating outside Tia's patio in the Gables, but next door to the Dorchester to remind us we're actually in Miami Beach. Lastly, I did see before we sat down that one of the waiters was clearing out our table. He grabbed a napkin and it fell on the floor, but he immediately picked it up... and I saw him wipe our table with the napkin that touched the floor. I won't be a super strict stickler because let's be real, even in other restaurants, they use the same rags dirtied from table to table so it's almost about the same. But it's worth mentioning because if this restaurant wants to be known for quality, it needs to reflect it. Big hugs to those waiters though. Running and wiping with dirty napkins, you could imagine the immense pressure they were in to cloud their judgment. I hope they got more help on the floor later that day!

    First night in Miami Beach and wanted some yummy Cuban food without all the touristy hoopla. Moreno's is on the quieter end of Collins Ave and it was quiet in the restaurant. The empanadas were a pleasant surprise because they were made with more of a flaky pastry crust vs the thicker traditional crust. They also had plantains, picadillo, and excellent aioli. The only thing I don't recommend is the taco appetizer. The corn tortillas weren't that yummy and they were a bit boring. Everything else was delicious.

    We had a really great experience at Morenos on our vacation. The atmosphere is fun and Cuban, and the waiter we had was nice and attentive. We tried a cuban sandwich and tostones pork that our waiter recommended. The cuban sandwich was perfectly filled with cheese, ham, and pickles. Easily better than another local chain we've tried. The tostones were surprisingly good and we were happy we tried them. We'd happily come back and would recommend it to people looking for some quality Cuban food!

    Loved this spot on Collins it's kind of hidden ... there food Omgish so good it just got better and better. For sure get the sampler appetizer so you can taste everything. A little pricey menu doesn't reflect prices. But would recommend when down on south beach nice service and he was the only waiter serving all the tables so they could have used some help

    Atmosphere and ambiance was nice. Waiter was so friendly. Food came out wayyyyyy too fast and tasted like it was sitting under a heat lamp. Mojito was pure syrup. Could be we went late but I really did want to love this place. Unfortunately it's just a like for me. Check it out for yourself & thank me later xoxo

    Such a beautiful space inside and out. The food was great and not super duper expensive. Music was so good. Great for a girls lunch or a date night. Highly recommend!! Service was so nice too. Great time!

    Finding parking in South Beach is always an "aventura", and Moreno's Cuba is no exception. They offer valet for $10 an hour, but I decided to cruise around a bit and ended up parking at Collins Ave & 13th Street, where about $8 covered four hours--"una ganga" compared to valet. Municipal parking is limited, but arriving on a Sunday around 5:00 PM, with plenty of time before our 6:00 PM meet-up, worked perfectly. Just remember to follow the posted signs (head-in only, max four hours) unless you want to risk a ticket... or being towed! Moreno's Cuba sits right beside a hotel, and they share the restroom facilities. One big plus: it's pet friendly. I brought my chihuahua, who was quietly sitting next to me--until our fantastic Dominican waiter showed up, and suddenly Jazzy decided to assert her territory. Down to the floor she went, where she quietly stayed during dinner! We were a group of 6 hosting friends visiting from outside the U.S. Normally, for Cuban food, I'd head to Little Havana--not South Beach. But they picked the spot, and honestly, Moreno's surprised me. Our table ordered ropa vieja, vaca frita, and I went with the Cuban ceviche served with plantain chips. With Cuban roots myself, I had never heard of Cuban ceviche, so my curiosity won. The fish chunks were generous, the flavor bright and tangy, and the salty plantain chips tied everything together beautifully. Two of our guests had never tried Cuban cuisine--one ordered vaca frita and the other ropa vieja. When I asked which they preferred, they couldn't make up their minds; both plates were spotless by the end. That said it all. Portions were solid--not as hefty as Little Havana, but more generous than the tiny touristy servings you usually get in South Beach. I ordered a freshly squeezed lemonade, refreshing and perfect for a late Sunday afternoon. For dessert, I treated myself to arroz con leche that tasted like pure nostalgia--sprinkled with cinnamon and topped with cinnamon sticks, just like my Mima used to make. The rest of the group had coconut flan and loved it. Prices were reasonable for the Beach, and both the service and the food were on point. My only downside of the night: the little water container for my dog fell and cracked in half. Objects can be replaced; memorable experiences cannot. With the fall finally blessing South Florida, I can see myself returning to Moreno's Cuba.

    I tried this place while I was in Miami. I will say the Cuban sandwich was excellent. The atmosphere is very casual but also very Cuba like. Definitely a cool place and great place for a Cuban sandwich and plantains! Service was very fast and super friendly.

    I had an Asado dish that was by far the best pulled pork I have ever had. You could taste the marinated flavor. I will be back.

When we arrived we were greeted and promptly seated inside at the back wall in a booth. There was another couple to our left and one or two others across the room at other tables. The couple in the corner who was seat next to us proceeded to talk extremely loud and had several FaceTime calls with their children as if they were in a private location and not a restaurant. Our entire meal consisted of listening to them in the phone and talking so loud to each other and their server we could hear every word! This rude and annoying behavior overshadowed the meal and left us very frustrated and annoyed. If you are going to require certain attire (although several guest came in while we were there who had on shorts and flip flops) and charge very high prices, you should have a cell phone policy in place and redirect guest to step outside or leave if they feel the need to FT their family for 20-30 min. We spent well over $200 on a meal for two and it was one of the worst dining experiences we have ever had. The enjoyed the food we ordered except for the French onion soup which I sent back. The Burrata Caprese was fresh but could have used a few more tomatoes and my husband really enjoyed his steak. I chose not to order anything once my soup was returned because we wanted to leave as soon as possible. Over all the service was good and most of the food was too. Unfortunately, there are those who'd have no regard for their environment and those around them which makes others experience negative! The manager and severs were aware of what they were doing too as they walked by a few times and looked at them. But failed to intervene and for that they get two stars.

The atmosphere is unmatched, the food was incredible, and every space has its own perfect vibe while still feeling cohesive and luxurious. What really made it stand out though was the service.
