Lomo de atún con ajo y limon, with rice, beans, and moros! Special of the day was delicious!
Alan G.

I ordered the lomo de atún con ajo y limon (Tuna with garlic and lemon) as the special of the day and it did not disappoint! Perfectly seasoned, and not too much of both. Rice, beans, and yuca, as my sides, of course. Beans had great flavor! I'll never get enough of these three sides. Service was great! The new girl (I didn't get her name) was very helpful. I'll be back next time I'm in town.

Where do I start....cuban sandwich was horrible. Pork, beans and rice were absolutely horrific. The yuca was hard and had no butter/olive oil or garlic. This place was recommended too me..Im recommending it to No One..!!

Ordered Uber eats so I can't speak to the dine in experience…read more Ordered chicken soup-it was salty noodles and broth-no chicken, no vegetables. In the pictures there are both and it was 9$ for basically canned soup. Tasted awful. Ordered spinach croquettes. They were tiny but delicious, well prepared and worth it. Ordered Moro rice-inedible. Dry. Dry. Dry. And the only flavor was salt. Not sure why they would send the last bit of rice from the pot that sat out all day, but that is what I got. Ordered vegetables-the picture is broccoli, cauliflower and carrots in garlic sauce. I got a few pieces of iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, onions and some cucumbers. That pissed me off since it was not at all what I ordered. Maybe I ordered the wrong things, because the review here are pretty positive. Tried to call the restaurant to see why they didn't include the actual vegetables and decided a salad was a good substitute. No answer. So I won't be eating from here again. Disappointed.

Second time ordering food from this restaurant and the experience and food were wonderful. I…read moreordered the lunch bowl with the Lechon asado con maduros, arroz y frijoles, the masas de cerdo both dishes were seasoned and cooked to perfection. Very tender meat. As for beverage I got the delicious and refreshing passion fruit- mango. Although i didn't eat at the restaurant all my food was packed nicely and my beverage was nicely wrap and arrive at perfect temperature including my cold and frozen juice. I can't wait to visit this restaurant in person and continue trying more delicious dishes!! Photos can't do justice to the deliciousness of my food but the photo I took will make you laugh!!

I am going to admit, I was skeptical of this new restaurant since it replaced Big Slick's Deli,…read morewhich was a delightful sandwich and grill restaurant. I had been salty about Big Slick's having closed, but it is time to move on. I saw some photos of the food from Bella's and decided to try it before remaining salty, so I ordered food for pickup tonight. They're on your usual delivery apps and have website ordering. I walked in before 8 PM and was a little surprised that there were 2 people separately eating in the restaurant. It had lounge lighting and decor, but it looked casual, since you still would place an order and pay at the front counter (still has the deli setup). To tell you how deserted the counter was, a child was sitting on the stool and had to get a staff member from the back in order for her to give me my order. I left wishing it were a little more happening, especially with the setup. But the food? Wonderful. I got to Griot Parmesan, which is griot (fried pork) and pikliz topping parmesan alfredo penne. THIS is ultimate comfort food! The penne had the great rounded flavor of parmesan and garlic without being overly creamy or heavy, the griot was so tender and evaporated that the fat on it was melty, and the pikliz was a tremendous accent to the dish with its spicy vinegar flavor. I can't remember the last time I liked alfredo pasta so much. It looks to me like Bella's is churning out some lovely Caribbean food. I hope this place gets more exposure so that more people can try it out for themselves!

This place is no longer Bella's Caribbean food but a Mexican food spot. Although the people were…read morenice, coming from California where Mexican food is the best since we are next door to Mexico, the food here is now subpar. I miss Bella's :( if you want Caribbean food in Miami's go to Pierre's or Au Bon Gout. I will post about those restaurants soon!

This is one of my favorite eateries in all of Miami. Interior of property is sleek and comfortable…read more Sits on the Bay too so views from most tables are beautiful. The food is exceptionally prepared. Great sushi menu and entrees are always tasty and thoughtful. The most memorable thing of the entire experience is the service. It's impeccable. Water and drinks always timely. Numerous waiters tend to your meal throughout. We had the rainbow roll and artichoke dip to start. The Scottish salmon is a must. French dip sandwich also incredible. This place never disappoints. It's why they have been doing business there for decades. Give it a try. You will thank me later.

Bye Bye Houston's Aventura…read more I've been a customer of Houston's Aventura for many years. For a long time, my friends and I used to come here every Friday. Unfortunately, over time the service declined to the point where it felt like they were doing everything possible to make us uncomfortable and rush us out. Eventually, they succeeded -- we stopped coming altogether. After a long break, I decided to give the restaurant another chance today. That was a mistake. I ordered the Hawaiian Ribeye, and when it arrived, the meat was extremely tough. I brought this to their attention, and the manager came over and apologized -- but that was it. No replacement dish was offered, and the item was not removed from the bill. An apology alone does not fix a bad dining experience, especially at this price point. This visit confirmed how far Houston's Aventura has fallen. I live in Aventura, and I constantly hear people talking about how poorly customers are being treated at this location. Based on our experiences, my family and I have decided we will not return. Final thoughts: Houston's Aventura is seriously damaging its reputation. The service and food quality no longer match what this restaurant used to be or what it charges. If you enjoy this style of restaurant, I highly recommend J. Alexander's instead. Equal or better quality, excellent service, and outstanding food -- including thin, crispy fries like Houston's used to have, great artichokes, ribeye, and baby back ribs. Truly excellent. Bye bye, Houston's.
