Authentic Cuban? Not unless an extensive sandwich list is what you call authentic. I experienced very sloppy service, food was nearly thrown at us, drinks arrived well after the food did, presentation of the food was also lackluster. On the other hand, its cheap and I guess thatâs what I got. Thank you for your comments as they will help us to improve our restaurant. Please be aware that Latin Cafe has high standards for our servers, and this behavior you describe will be addressed immediately - to avoid future occurrences. At your earliest convenience, please email [email protected] and tell us the date and time of day for your visit along with the name of your server.

A few years ago The New York Times' restaurant critic had an article on Cuban food. It began "If you are looking for great Cuban food you will find it in Miami, not necessarily Havana"; then proceeded to review a handful of Miami restaurants -amongst them La Rosa. While time and popularity have taken a toll on some of the other restaurants (yes, those are busloads of tourists at Versailles), La Rosa has retained what made it famous in the first place. It has been a favorite with the locals since it opened back in the 1970's. Not a big dinning room but a good place to enjoy authentic Cuban cuisine not too far from what abuela used to cook. Good sized portions at reasonable prices (the lunch special menu is extensive and very affordable). An adequate list of wines and beers. Linen tablecloths, cutlery, glass and china. A nice, casual place to take a date or the family. Friendly service glad to provide suggestions from the day's specials -and to bring you not bread but a bowl of fried plantain chips. I have visited the place a few times through the years and gladly recommend it.

During a layover at Miami International Airport we decided to try another Cuban restaurant, and Ku-Va did not disappoint. Our server was very nice and efficient. Everything in the menu looked great, but we both decided on the Ropa Vieja (literally, old clothes in Spanish), shredded beef in a creole sauce, with white rice and sweet plantains. My wife had the Mojito, which she liked very much, and I had a Sangria, which was good. All in all, we had a full and satisfying meal, with good service and in a pleasant atmosphere. Recommended

Before and after going to Havana we decided to try the Cuban food in little Havana and we came accross this brightly colored chain of Cuban restaurants that seemed to have a location every where. It was clean and the food was appealing and separated by category. Prices were not apparent, but it seemed like a fair amount of food for the amount paid. Tried chicharones for the first time and it was interesting. It is deep fried pig belly that they stick in a paper bag and as I have heard you can eat it like popcorn! Kind of greasy but nice and crispy. The oil is evident on the bag but hey you only live once. Nice contrast to steamed pork belly in a Chinese restaurant, which may be a little bit healthier, but who cares? The food is placed in a styrofoam take out container and you choose a starch, rice and beans or plantains or yucca, choose a meat and/ or choose a vegetable(rarely sighted). Can't eat here 2 days in a row, unless you go to the fish category for a change. Food seems very hearty/rich so best to try different things if you go more than twice per week. Have a dessert area and fresh juices(juegos) which add to your meal. Dining area is sort of out doors but shaded. It's a treat and the food seemed better than what we got in Havana the following week, although it was more at tourist restaurants that do not seem to serve rice and beans or plantains, the staples of the Cuban people. We also wanted to try Haitiian food while in Miami, but presentation seemed better at the similar Cuban restaurant, so my wife and I chickened out after some efforts to find a good place. Maybe next time.This wasn't Fine Food, but for good stick to your ribs Cuban food, it fit the bill. Ropa viejas is good too!

After a 4 hour flight from Barbados, we found this restaurant in the Miami Airport. We were famished and this place hit the spot. The buffet was very filling. Tasty dishes served at the right temperature. The price was right, not typical of airport prices. Looking forward to eating there again.

I should have taken a picture but it looked so good and tasted even better. My husband and I got different plates so we could share and this is the best way to taste a little bit of everything. He got the puertorican breakfast and I got the bistec a caballo. His came with mofongo and mines with steak. They both came with eggs, mines with fries and his with bacon. We shared everything!! It was as delicious as it looked. I love coming here because at night it is very lively but sometimes you are really hungry and want to eat a hearty, flavorful breakfast and THIS IS IT.. Hidden Gem in Hialeah off of the palmetto.. For 20 dollars we had an amazing brunch.. The next time I come back i will update with pictures to do this review justice. One thing though.. Our waitress was not around and we asked another waitress for water.. We almost choked and she gave her tables water and not us.. *owners take note*.. This is not a waitress that represents your wonderful restaurant.
