this place in Miami Beach is probably one of the best place you're gonna get a Cuban empanada. The owner. Rolando is absolutely amazing. He will definitely work with you. I mean he came out to help us with our kids give us coffee and suggest the best tasting treats that he has to offer. I would definitely recommend stopping by this location if you're wanting to get something quick and well priced check it out. read more

I've walked by this so many times, but never walked in until now. To my surprise, it was a tiny ecosystem of delicious Cuban and Latin adjacent food. I love those Cuban steam tables at bodegas and this had like thrice the selection. Ham Cachito: Technically Venezuelan, not Cuban. It's like a long dinner roll stuffed with chopped ham. It's a pretty awesome way to start the day with coffee! Cheese Cachito: As advertised, this variant has melted cheese instead of ham. Didn't feel as substantive or tasty, so definitely feel the ham version is superior. Papas Colombian: Also not Cuban, obviously. it's a huge ball of mashed potatoes stuffed with spiced ground meat and deep fried. Kinda like a Latin take on kibbeh. Very hearty and yummy! Cuban Papa Relleno: This is Cuban. It's got kind of bread crumb texture for the shell. The inside is still pasty mashed potato and nicely spiced ground beef. Not as big as the Colombian. Cheese Tequeño: Love these little cheese sticks. Crispy twisted dough on the outside and a nice squeaky cheese inside. Pan de Bono: A simple cheesy roll. Great with coffee in the morning. Colombian Cheese Empanada: This is such a unique empanada. It's got a crispy deep fried yellow corn shell and lots of salty mushy cheese inside. A constant favorite of mine. Venezuelan Cheese Empanada: A chewy shell with melted cheese. Not as good as the Colombian, but still tasty because cheese. Arepa: Not quite the same as freshly made, when the cheesy is gooey. But it's still got the signature corn and cheese taste. Beef Meal: I got the slices of pot roast, yellow rice (with more gravy on top) and plantains. Good size portion, so I was able to spread it across two meals. The sauce is what set the pot roast aside from pot roast you might make at home. So many nice flavors! Pork Chunks Meal: Cubes of pork that seem slow cooked and then deep fried for a crispy exterior. The deep frying also helps cook off big bits of fat. So the result is a superior pork experience. I got the fried rice, which had some nice bits of ham and egg in it. Also some beans on the side, for an extra boost of protein. Steak & Onions Meal: One long thin slice of steak. It's actually reminiscent of pot roast, except it's heavily marinated and quickly cooked. Surprisingly not tough. Goes well with the onions. I got the "brown rice" which was more like white rice colored brown due to the beans; much better than actual brown rice. read more

This wasn't just a bad Cuban sandwich - it was a terrible sandwich in general. Staff was amazingly rude. I got a sandwich togo and while I was waiting, it started raining torrentially. I sat down to eat my togo order and wait out the rain and they told me there was a service charge for dining in and asked me to leave. read more

The food might be good but they are incapable of cooking food fast. I ordered 4 things off the menu and they cooked them one after the other. Took 40 minutes which was ridiculous for takeout. We had traveled in from NYC and were tired and hungry. The place was quiet so no clue why it all took so long. They left the fries sitting there for 20 mins whine they cooked the tacos... I could go on... read more

10/10. Coffee is incredible !!! Best Cuban sandwich in the city. Alex the owner is a fantastic guy.

Munchies is a latin/cuban restaurant that had different empanadas, sandwiches, tacos, rice, baked goods and more... When you walk in its kinda fast paced if its busy so when you get in line be ready to order because you'll hold up the line. There were tables to sat at if you dine in. There were also outside tables but if you sit outside be prepared for pigeon's galore. There's no way i could eat outside with that many birds surrounding me. That's just me, but if that's your thing, enjoy!!! You and all 200 pigeons sort it out.. Lol... If they fly off with your food don't say i didn't warn u... I got the chicken and beef empanadas. The dough was good but the inside was a little dry!! But they still had good flavor. If your looking for a good place to try some authentic food stop by!!! Check them out!! read more

We stumbled across Munchie's while just walking around. We really wanted good Latin food. The customer service was great and service was quick. The food to me was a little dry and they didn't offer much as far as sauces. They have packets of hot sauce. The flavors were almost there but still seemed to lack something. I order pork with some skin, the skin was inedible. Very tough. We sat outside on the patio and it was fine. read more

I there. read more

Great food and amazing staff! I got the steak sandwich and it was fantastic. Definitely recommend!

Now don't tell Dulce Cafeteria that I'm really loving the pan de Bono here... and the guava/cheese Danish. I had the breakfast wrap. It has eggs cheese peppers onions and it. I paid an extra dollar to have it stuffed with sweet plantains. It was so delicious! Funny thing... There's a THC store right across the street from it LOL you can sit outside and eat right in front of the store. It's even covered! My dog had the chicken croquettes. He liked them a lot! read more

Great hole in the wall just off South Beach. Sometimes you just get tired of fancy foods. After paying $60 for breakfast my kids didn't want to eat, I was craving something plainer. I went to South Beach Munchies and got a Cuban beef empanada and a papa relleno. Both were very good. I came back the next morning to buy some food for breakfast. I got a huge container of cut fruit, some yogurt, and a smattering of Latin American treats (I did a study of empanadas -- Cuban, Venezuelan, and Argentinian). The owner was there at that point, and he told me the difference between the different empanadas and also gave me some hot sauce that he thought would compliment the food well. A ton of food that lasted for more just breakfast for four, and for less than $30 with tip and tax. All the empanadas were absolutely delicious, and the hot sauce was excellent. The fruit was awesome -- very sweet papaya, berries, mango, and pineapple. This is a must-return kind of place, my favorite kind of place to find. read more

I wish Munchies wasn't a hop skip and a jump from my apartment because I am constantly tempted every time I walk by. I've sampled quite a lot of their treats as well as their Their fruit bowls are reasonably priced and fresh. They were a little resistant to me asking for a specific one that was in the locked fridge, but I wanted one with more papaya! They eventually let me have it. Their tequeños with guava and cheese are delicious, as are just cheese. I've gotten the ham and cheese empanada and chicken - the chicken I actually tried accidentally when they mistakenly gave it to me when I ordered ham and cheese but I was pleasantly surprised. Their bandeja with maduros, egg, frijoles and cheese was great and a really generous size althoguh it was on the expensive side. read more

I had a need for Cuban coffee especially a cafecito. Before 8 am, not many places open in south beach so very thankful for Muchie's. There were lots of great breakfast choices as well. Since I was on a long walk and wanted to walk on the beach, I did not have my wallet so thankful they take Apple Pay- not $5 min. The cafecito hit the spot and I ended buying two in order to meet the $5 min for the credit card. Quick service and they understood me. read more

I think I have the right location. I came here many years ago and had a local friend show me what Cubian espresso was. It was the experience but it's better than normal espresso because it's sweet and the way the serve it is in a small cup but with several tiny cups for sharing espresso shots. My friend tells the the name has changed but they served the espresso exactly how I remembered it. It's a great memory for me and I love the sweet espresso. This place probably has other great things but I cone for the espresso read more

In the menu there was a picture of sandwiche with fries for $9. I ordered that. The cashier told me that after 11am the breakfast was $3 more. I said OK, because I didn't see that on the back side of the menu in the corner with little letters they had that information that I didn't see. After that they gave me just the sandwich. I asked them where the fries was, and they told me that I would have to pay another $3 for the fries. I don't care about the fries or that extra $6. I just don't like when someone thinks that I am an idiot. So doublcheck what you will pay and what you will get before ordering. read more

This place really surprised me! We got the pork chunks with sweet plantains and red beans and rice and the fried chicken with yellow rice and a side of black beans. The pork was crispy and cooked perfectly as it was juicy and tender. The fried chicken had a good crisp as well and the beans were saucy and flavorful. The onions were a bit raw for my likely. The price was great too for about 25 total for 2 meals. The service was good and they were places to eat inside and outside! We be returning!!!! read more

Maria Elena is the definition of horrible customer service. The meat in my sliders were bloody inside and I kindly asked to switch it out for another sandwich at the same price. She stated that the red was the sauce on the sandwich (it was not) and proceeded to tell me that they do not switch out food. What kind of restaurant is this?? I told her that I'm asking to switch it to the same priced sandwich or get my money back. She quickly answered that she will give me my money back because "you might not like the sandwich we make" with a sarcastic tone. They attempted to give me part of the cost of the sandwich. I demanded them to also give me the 15% service charge they include with any purchase because their service was horrible and I was not obligated to tip them. Oh, and if you want to have pigeon friends and be harassed by them when you eat, this is the perfect place to be. See photo. read more

Poor customer service. Greasy not clean food. Place looks dirty. Chef looks dirty and sweaty. Food is overpriced and not priced correctly on the menu. They say it's because of "taxes" but I'm not dumb, I know how much it should cost with taxes and they are charging extra hidden fees for low quality food and service. I highly recommend somewhere else to eat. Not here. read more

We did not rent a car this visit so we weren't able to drive to some of our regular Cuban coffee shops. The bartender at our hotel at Loews recommended this place. We came here three times during our 3 day stay. We had Café con Leche, colada, guava and cheese pastelitos, eggs perico with Cuban toast, veggie omelette, Cuban sandwich, Columbian empanadas, maduros and black beans. All of the breakfast items (cafe, eggs, pastelitos) were amazing!!! The maduros and beans were really good as well. My daughter liked the Cuban sliders. My husband thought the Cuban sandwich was average. The Columbian empanada was dry, but it was later in the day. They may be better if you get them fresh. The staff was very nice. They offered suggestions and answered questions. Everything was reasonably priced. If you want good food and not to spend an arm and a leg, give this place a read more

Ordered 2 empanadas de carne y un papa relleno de carne with one guava and CHEESE pastillo unfortunately the pastry was just guava. The empanadas in my opinion were a bit dry like the inside of them. I am Puerto Rican so I do know that we make ours a bit differently. I don't think these were Puerto Rican style, but it was a bit lackluster for me. I'm used to beef and bananas having like peas and potatoes. Inside of them. This was literally just ground beef barely seasoned inside of the empanada. The staff was really kind no complaints there read more

Late night munchies, for you pastries they have. Two glass display cases of esoteric selections. They are flaky melt in your mouth dissolving entities that produce rainbows in your mouth. Relleno Pastery and traditional guava and cheese. Have you been drinking? Is it 2-6am. Smooth out that acidic stomachs with some late night goodies. This is a late/early morning gem in Miami Beach. If you don't speak Spanish be prepared to point and order. Parking was easy late night. read more

I love "hole in the wall" places so when I found this place I was super excited. When I went in I immediately noticed Arepas and I was even more excited. My tattoo artist is Venezuelan and she recently introduced me to Arepas and they were AMAzing. Anyways, the place was super small which was fine, the staff was super helpful which was great but the prices were high which I kind of expected since we're on Miami Beach but kind of not expected since we chose a "hole in the wall" kind of place. My daughters Club Sandwich was $9 alone and we thought it was $9 for the meal. I didn't realize that until we paid. Anyways, so the food was "OK". I'm glad we experienced it but would t go back again. My tattoo artist Arepas were way better, my daughters sandwich was huge but they used unripe tomatoes on it, and the order of fries was small. read more

I'm back home in New York and I'm still craving the Cuban breakfast I had here! The restaurant was a bit confusing at first. There are two halves to it, the left side seemed to be for take out with all the cuchifritos and the right side had the seating. When I walked in on the left side first- I thought I had walked into the wrong spot. The seating side is a bit small, so it might not do great for groups over 6. The food- was- so- good. I ordered the Cuban Breakfast and a beef empanada. Although the maduros and eggs were delicious, it was their white rice that won me over. It had a subtle flavor that really tied everything together. The beef empanada I give two thumbs up to. Very tasty! Everyone else in my group also enjoyed their food (cuban sandwiches) with no complaints. And we were all very happy with the prices. There's also a jukebox which was great for playing some Spanish music to set the mood. We had an all around great time here! read more

This is a place to grab some beach food. Everything was ok. Quick service to carry out. Tried all three types of empanadas of various meats. I liked the ground beef in the one style of empanadas the best. Also tried the guava pastry. The pastry was very good where you got some filling, which you had to search for. Average service. Refrigerated drinks and coffee. Tiny place. Serves the purpose if you are hungry. There are cooked foods available but I only tried the cooked plantains which were average. read more
