Chicken breast steak with side salad and tostones
Mary e.

Cute Cuban restaurant on 8th street. I love the white tablecloth covered tables. The ceiling is hung with burlap bags depicting the Cuban provisinces. Very unique. Service was ok but then we were one table of 3 occupied. The chicken breast steak was tasty but not very tender. Salad on plate was a little wilted and really just a few lettuce leaves and mushy tomatoes. I was expecting a side salad à la Rinconcito Latino. Tostones were very hard to chew. The rabo encendido (the sole purpose of our visit) was quite pricey at $29 for a couple pieces of oxtail with very little sauce. Not the best. I love trying new places which can be hit or miss. Although my meal here was not terrible, nothing inspired me to return,

Excellent Cuban place with great atmosphere and very friendly and professional service. We all enjoyed the seafood, malanga, chicharrons, steak and chicken. Might be the best Cuban food in town.

Un lugar espectacular , con smbiente agradable y cena muy sabrosa , cada plato era mejor , tipica comida bien sasonada , nos encanto

Fried pork and steam vegetables

The food is good, and so is the atmosphere and the service, but they need to add a cocktail and liquor menu, as the current one is very short or practically nonexistent. I was looking through the menu to order a drink or a glass of wine, and they didn't have any listed. This is something they should address, especially since they have a bar where they serve very good cocktai

Chicken Cesar Salad

Today I went for lunch, I order a Chicken Cesar salad, the chicken was horrible, no taste at all, very disgusting.

One of the best Cuban restaurants in all of Miami better than Sergio's, la carreta, Versailles, and malanga cafe in Pinecrest. Amazing food and service, friendly staff made me feel welcome, and love the live music

Todo bien elaborado y con mucho sabor , sitio agradable para pasarla bien , el servicio que te brindan es bueno

Este es el  Pargo Frito Villa Blanca 22 to 28 Lb ,

De todos los restaurantes que e ido pro primera vez a este es donde único no regreso , las mesas súper pequeñas, dos platos llenas las mesas, las bebidas 1 mojito que era mas hielo que nada, el arroz Moro quemado y duro los granos, cojimos un pescado Bolador como plato fuerte, que les digo el plato viene con una langosta entera que parece estar congelada hace semanas no sele siente el savor a marisco, y los filete de pargo vienen sobre el liquido donde lo cosinan que parece como sopa cuando logras llegar a el a y $120 por el plato. Conclusión no lo recomiendo me parece que este lugar sigue por los meseros que son lo mejor . Y una recomendación cuando cojan un plato grande no dejen que el Manager les aga un video para TikTok ya que cuando habla sosteniendo la comide se ve como escupe sin in intención lógicamente pero aun es asqueroso. Nos gastamos $540 y nos quedamos con hambre porque la comida no sirve todo es un show

The food is authentic Cuban food. They must have a whole team of Abuelitas in the back seasoning and cooking everything.

This Cuban Food Staple in Little Havana came recommended by multiple people for our weekend in…read moreMiami. It exceeded expectations!! From the brilliant mojito that was made on the patio while we waited to the exceptional desserts and everything in between was truly top notch. Personal favorites were the appetizer empanada and the Boliche! Will definitely make this a repeat on any trips to Miami

Versailles in Little Havana continues to be a Miami classic that's well worth a visit. Today I went…read morewith my husband and son, and despite how incredibly busy the restaurant was, we had an excellent experience. My husband ordered the picadillo with rice and black beans, my son had the vaca frita with rice and black beans, and both enjoyed a side of tostones. I chose the rionada with congrí and sweet plantains. Overall, the food was delicious, flavorful, and satisfying. The only disappointment was the tostones. They were a bit bland and not as crispy as we prefer. Everything else, however, was excellent. The service was outstanding; friendly, attentive, and efficient, even with the restaurant packed. Every area was bustling, from the dining room to the bakery and takeout counters, yet everything seemed well organized. The restaurant itself was clean and very well maintained. To finish our meal, the three of us shared a flan, and it was absolutely delicious; the perfect ending to a wonderful meal. I have to admit, we were enjoying our conversation so much that I completely forgot to take pictures! That's probably a good sign that we were too busy enjoying the food and each other's company. Versailles remains one of Miami's iconic Cuban restaurants, and it's definitely a place worth visiting. We'll certainly be back.

We started with the goat cheese croquettes, which were delicious! The marmalade went well, and the pickles onions and jalapeños cut the richness and were a nice complement. Husband had the Masa de Puerco chino and loved it. Big tender chunks of pork, super flavorful. I had the abuela's ropa vieja, and it was perfect. I don't even usually like plantains, and the Maduros were delicious! Oh! And the Passion lemonade was SO GOOD!! Service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Loved everything about the experience, and we're hoping to get back while we're in Miami!

We came here for dinner on our first night in Miami. We made reservations but it said outdoor patio…read morewasn't available. Regardless when we arrived they sat us outside which is exactly what we were hoping for. Our server was nice at first. Explained all the popular dishes got our drinks out very quickly. I think she stole our table from someone else because shortly after someone came and we told them we put our order in and he seemed a little bothered. Unfortunately, our other server disappeared and never checked up on us. We pretty much didn't have any napkins during our entire duration of our meal. At least that part was good. We started off with a couple of mojitos and their Vaca Frita Tostones. You get these homemade maduro tostones topped off with shreeded beef in a moon sauce, pickled onion, and aji Amarillo aioli. A very delicious dish that didn't last long. Shortly after we received our main dish. I really hate when they do that. My wife ordered their Abuelas Ropa Vieja and I ordered their Masa de Puerco Chino. My wife didn't really care for her dish much. We've had plenty of Ropa Vieja before and would have preferred a congri type of rice as opppsed to just plain white rice. My dish was 10/10. Like in the name of "chino" this is an Asian inspired dish with fried rice, maduros, pineapple confit and crispy pork. A very delicious dish. It could have don't without the little salad on top, but at least it ads color to the dish. The crispy pork tasted so amazing and the fried had so much flavor. Mix in some of the maduros and you get a sweet and savory dish. Would definitely be returning to try this dish again.

The roasted pork was tender, juicy, and packed with savory garlic-forward flavor. The crispy edges added a nice contrast in texture, and the mojo-style seasoning brought everything together with a bright, citrusy punch. It was comforting, flavorful, and paired really well with the traditional sides. Service was friendly and attentive, and the staff made the dining experience smooth even during a busy time. The vibe is lively and colorful, with a nostalgic Cuban café atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel festive and welcoming. It's a great spot for groups, casual dinners, or anyone looking to enjoy classic Cuban comfort food. Overall, a really solid Cuban meal with bold flavors and generous portions. I'd come back to try more of their traditional dishes and cocktails.
