Empanadas de Ropa Vieja (2) and Chicken Empanadas (2)
Matthew C.

Serving authentic Cuban classics for over 15 years right near the beach. We went on a weekday after the beach for dinner and the food was amazing. The empanadas de ropa vieja are a MUST. Service was excellent in a super casual vibe. I'd eat here daily if I lived nearby. Highly recommend.

Affordable. Convenient. Fast service. Great ambiance. I got to try just a colada here and it was as authentic as it can be. Staff is super friendly with a great ambience. I am definitely visiting again, next time for lunch. TIP: conveniently located by the beach. Perfect place for a caffeine fix or a quick bite. They even serve beers here. I hope you find this review helpful.

Tres Leches
Trey M.

Most underrated restaurant in North Beach. Incredible INCREDIBLE food. This place and their food transfers you straight to Cuba. Every bite packs a punch of flavor. This is the most authentic Cuban food stateside. This is my #1 recommendation in North Beach Miami. Great price point. Incredible menu. Classic great ambiance. This restaurant is getting more popular though, so I'd recommend a reservations on weekend nights

Pargo Frito Entero. My father in law attacked this fish like it owed him money.

Christmas night feast. Beautiful homey ambiance, lovely service from our cheery server. Everything was delicious. I had shredded streak with onions and unbelievably delicious rice and beans (moros). My father in law had a whole fish that he ate like it was his last meal. Shrimp in garlic sauce was also yummy. Coconut flan topped off a wonderful meal.

Came here on accident because it was located right next to La Ventana and we thought it was the same place since the tables outside seemed to be located infront of both places. Before we even got seated, i was admiring the decor. Absolutely beautiful! The whole place was so mesmerizing, i loved it. We decided to sit outside by the large canvas and ordered the Bistec Empanizado and the Ropa Vieja with moro, mashed yuca, and white rice and beans. They were incredible to say the least. They were large portions, and tasted fresh. This was my first time having cuban food in a long long time and i forgot how good it was so thank you Sazon for reminding me. I tried ordering in very broken spanish but i tried. I also pointed at the things i wanted as i spoke to make sure not to give our server, Melina, a hard time lol. She was wonderful. She was smiling and was so sweet and our food arrived pretty quickly. Will most definitely be coming back here!

I stopped in for a casual Cuban meal and had a good experience overall. Service was fast, which is always appreciated. The menu is very classic. No surprises, just the usual Cuban staples done competently. I had the lechon asado. It was clearly prepared ahead of time, but still good and flavorful. Not something I would go out of my way for, but a solid choice. The wine list was subpar, so I would skip that, but the cocktail menu was much better and the right call here. Inside, Sazon has a nice Cuban Miami vibe. Lively, comfortable, and what you expect from a place like this. My waitress was better than average. Friendly, attentive, and kept things moving at a good pace. The highlight of the meal was the tres leches cake. Easily the best one I have had in a while. This was a three and a half star experience based on the food alone, but between the fast service, an outstanding waitress, and an excellent dessert, I am rounding up to four stars.

Papas Rellenas Paelle de Pescado y Vegetales
Stephanie L.

Lovely dinner! There's a lot of Cuban places to choose from but this place is the best of every quality. Beautiful restaurant, great location, nice indoor and outdoor seating. Good prices and portions. Papa rellena was great. I liked the tomato tipping sauce it came with. Ceviche tasted great, but was a very small portion and I wish they cut up the fish into small, smaller bite-size pieces. Both of the main entrées came with two sides so we got morro(which was just a tad dry, but still great) and maduros(fantastic my doodles. They were cooked at the perfect time and they were really big.) I felt like the Churrasco needed a little more flavor, but I added sea salt to it, so it made it better. Good cook on the medium rare. Also it was enormous. The lechon was great. The onions were also beautifully cooked. There was a lovely acidicity to the Lechon. Flan was amazing as well! Perfect way to end the meal. Thank you to our server, Leo!

Sandwich Cubano & Sazon Miami Sandwich .
Stephanie C.

Great, flavorful sandwich and very protein packed. I also loved the style of bread they used . it was perfectly pressed and crispy. Both sandwiches came with a side of chips, which was a nice touch . We ordered it to go and everything held up really well. The location is within walking distance from the beach it's a perfect bite to grab if your looking for something nearby 75th & Collin's .

Palomilla Empanizada
Heather N.

This busy and bumping Cuban restaurant has a great location directly on collins. people were lined up to dine so Hubby and i asked to be seated at the bar no line no wait. it's a smaller bar so it only accommodates like five people and could be a little bit tight. the ambience is cute and quaint and could be a really great date spot. I we ordered a few appetizers and the pork was so juicy and tender. I am a yuca lover so of course i had to try and they were delicious. the sauce it came with was so good i could have put it on everything. my vaca Frita was amazing and so was my husband's. meal dish The only thing I would tell you is that it's two sides and some restaurants include black beans and rice as one side and you could get another so make sure you read the menu. I didn't know when I ordered the extra sweet plantains, but they were just what I needed to offset the salty so I would definitely tell you to check out this restaurant.

Chicken Sopa de Pollo Soup
Sandra J.

One of our fav....but today it took them more than 30 mins to serve our food....food was delish as always!!! Service was good but it was the kitchen that was super extra slow...ambience cool lots of tourist that seemed to enjoy this place. Now they have a full bar...which is great...today I didn't have a cocktail but next time will for sure!!!

Rabo Estofado
Lalliet V.

The ambiance here is so pretty, and the Cuban food is absolutely delicious. The yuca, congri, and pork were perfectly seasoned--no extra salt or lime needed! It's the perfect spot for a bite after the beach. You'll leave full, but already wanting more. Plus, the lunch specials are delicious and very well-priced. They even have a photo for outside seating.

Plantain chips

The food was amazing Sitting out under the palapa was a vibe the music Playlist was excellent and our server Rollie was great. Definitely coming back!!

Ropa Vieja
Ronnie T.

This is a staple for authentic Cuban food in Miami. Not the touristy stuff, but the real deal my friends! I was greeted by warm and welcoming customer service during the bustling dinner hours, and seated promptly right away. To get started I ordered delicious beef empanadas. They came with a delicious salsa verde, and the empanadas hit the soul with each warm and flavorful bite!!! You could taste the fragrant seasonings as well! For my main course, I ordered ropa vieja with morros (beans combined with rice) and fried sweet plantains. Ropa vieja is a delicious shredded beef that is covered in a red tomato sauce. The ropa vieja was pure comfort! From the beef that melted in your mouth, to the sweet and savory plantains, to the amazing rice and beans (morros) that added a nice touch to it all. For dessert, I had tres leches cake and that was a home-run for me! Savory and delectable goodness! This place lives up to it's reputation! Check it out! Cheers!

By the time we arrived, around 8, the place was packed! We waited about 20 min so not too long at all. The spot was a great setting with open air and plenty of plants and comfy chairs. Our server and the host were both excellent. Very gracious with us. Our table ordered a few appetizers as meals as well as regular meals. Octopus, moussaka rolls, shrimp Santorini, salmon and lamb. The octopus was cooked perfectly. The lamb shank had an excellent bed of orzo but it was a little over done as parts were a bit tough. It still mostly fell off the bone though and was tasty. There was a minor mixup with the timing of our plates as the appetizer meals were delivered early and one seemed to have been forgotten. It didn't really bother us but they went above and beyond in apologizing by giving us some free desserts galaktobourko and Greek yogurt, both of which were delicious, as well as green tea shots! Both totally unexpected and unnecessary but greatly appreciated. You can tell that they pride themselves on their customer service. Overall it was a great experience and a lot I would definitely recommend.

It was raining so maybe if they just put a sand box in front. So imagine an old sports bar with old bar smells. It is wide open with a wrap-around bar, booths and a back room as well as a patio. All four walls are covered with TVs and there is a pool table and juke box. All the fixings for shenanigans. The bar service was great and there were 2 bartender one newer Lola I think and one more experienced. Both were very attentive. I spent most of my time in the backroom THE RED ROOM. It had a little bit of an odor like sewage, but it may have been because it was really raining hard and long outside and the building is definitely old. Finally, they have food and a good selection. I didn't order the food because the menus looked over used. Like a piece of printed paper that had seen way to many hands. Still, if I didn't have to go to the concert. Maybe next time if I find myself here again.

The fish was super fresh, and had a beer batter. The lamb chops were grilled to perfection. Their regular dinner menu comes back the day after the Super Bowl and we were allowed to order from that menu vs the football menu which doesn't have the typical entrees. I highly recommend this restaurant and bar. The owner/chef came out and spoke to us for a while and was very friendly and nice. We'll be back!!

They bill themselves as a sports bar, and maybe that is more the case if you sit inside. We opted to sit out on the sidewalk / patio in front. The inside appeared to be fairly large, so that might be better dining option overall. The 10 or 12 tables they have outside are okay - there is an awning to provide shade and when we visited it was in the evening so heat / sun wasn't a huge issue. However, it got pretty windy outside while we were there. Also, you are technically on the sidewalk, so pedestrians, cyclists, and electric scooter riders zip in between the two rows of tables. None of this was a huge issue, but if you want to have more control over your dining environment, inside might be a better choice. The menu provided quite a variety - sandwiches, a bit of pasta, fish, meat, salads, etc. I think any party would have a good chance of satisfying everyone. My wife opted for fish and I got a burger. We both enjoyed our food and had leftovers as well (which ended up being part of the next night's dinner). They also had a full bar; the drink pricing seemed pretty good given the standards of this area. If you are just looking for a standard (or slightly better) American bar food dinner, this is a solid choice.

Taquiza is nothing short of spectacular when it comes to their authentic blue corn tortillas. Coming from a hospitality family, Tyrese who was on his first day of training made sure our table and every guest interaction with tables around were satisfied and full. Asking about recommendations, he was able to explain the flavor palates provided with tacos and drinks. Though $5 a piece for tacos, seems a little steep this is like a reasonable Miami price considering others are about $8 for one in other places. We tried the crispy fish, al pastor, carnitas and Arrecha tacos. They were spectacular, and the guacamole with totopos thick crispy but fluffy blue corn chips. We even ordered a dozen blue corn tortillas to take home for $9. I think this is amazing price considering their authenticity. We even had their horchata and I loved it bringing me back to my childhood days. Give Taquiza a try, though some reviews here are not 5 star satisfied, I promise you won't be disappointed trying this place out at least one it twice whether you're a tourist or a regular. They are also pet friendly! A big win for the Beach community!

We sat outside and it was a beautiful day, which definitely made the experience better. That said, it's not beachfront, and there's construction going on right where the outdoor seating faces. Finding the restaurant was honestly a bit of a mission because we had to go around all of that. We did get seated right away, which was great. From what I could tell, there was only one server handling everything, so she was clearly busy and service was a bit slow. Food wise, it was really good. The carne asada tacos were flavorful and well done, and the guac stood out too. Their chips are house made and thicker than usual, which is different but still good. Overall, I'd come back. Good food, nice vibe, just be prepared for a slower service depending on how busy it is.
