We had a great evening with friends who live nearby and recommended Versailles. Because we were enjoying the companionship I didn't worry that much about my food. My husband enjoyed his Seafood Casserole Au Gratin, but commented that it was a little heavy.I had the Classic Cuban Sampler (White Rice, Black Beans, âPicadilloâ Ground Beef, Roast Pork, Sweet Plantains, Ham Croquette, Cuban Tamale, and Cassava with Cuban Mojo) because I wanted to try a little of everything. I will say that everything was lukewarm. But all the dishes were flavorful and interesting. None of us ordered an appetizer or dessert.We shared a pitcher of the red Sangria. It was OK, but a little odd . . . not much fruit in it.Service was a little ho hum, but the food was served promptly and we were enjoying ourselves too much to worry about a server who was less than charming.

Two fried eggs, bacon, toast, coffee, and water for 10.00. Not a bad deal. Food is good but like most cafeterias the bacon is not crispy. Overall good choice.

Great food delivered right to our hotel. Ordered through Uber Eats, and it was so good. The small cuban sandwich is huge. The grilled shrimp were sweet and plump, came with 2 sides. Grilled chicken salad was also very good and had a large portion of chicken with dressing on the side.

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. In response to your email, we will send you a $25 restaurant gift card and our promise to make your next experience with Latin Cafe an excellent one.

Donât be put off by this typical strip center restaurant. We stopped in thanks to the reviews on Trip Advisor. The plantains are super yummy! And my arroz con pollo tasted fresh and the chicken fell off the bone! Husbands cowboy steak was superb too!

Let's face it airport food is overpriced and often not so great. There has been some exceptions at various airports. One was Thai restaurant in San Diego. This E concourse corner of Miami airport has nothing worthwhile unless you want to drink away the lack of acceptable dining offers. We stopped at Cafe Versailles since it promoted itself as fresh salads, soups, and sandwiches. Fresh was not a word I would use to describe what they attempted to pass off as food. The only salad was a quinoa salad that appeared oily and old. I picked out an Italian baquette that was wrapped in plastic in the case. They retrieved an unwrapped sandwich from the fridge that had wilted lettuce, stale, tasteless bun, a couple hunk of parmesan cheese and a smear of tomato paste. I was charged almost ten dollars for this travesty. I ended up tossing it and buying a bag of popcorn at a vendor. ( At least, I knew what I was getting with the popcorn.)Miami International needs to step up its game. I will try to remember when I fly American to bring my own food since there is nothing edible at E Concourse.

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!

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.

We went for dinner, at the recommendation of our hotel, and were delighted with our food. We had a few concerns at first, being that we do not speak spanish and that the person taking our drink orders clearly struggled to understand us. We had a different server come to take our order, one who understood us much better, and despite our language differences guided us towards some fantastic menu options. She took very good care of our dining needs. We would definitely go back!Melissa, we're thrilled you found us and everything worked out! You're always welcome to come back for more when you're in town. Thanks for sharing the love! Warmly,La Esquina Del Lechon Management Team
