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.

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.

Staying at the YVE Hotel and asked several people where we could get a good Cuban sandwich... 3 different people immediately said La Carreta! Had a traditional Cuban sandwich, white bean soup, and dessert... EVERYTHING was delish and the wait staff was very attentive.

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.

The food was so good we went back two days later for more! The menu is so extensive that there is certainly something for everyone. We ordered Paella, which was deliious, salmon in orange sauce, gorgonzola chicken, avocado chicken, a steak and a burger, all of which were praised by those devouring the delicious meal. Portions are big and delicious. Staff was very attentive to our every need. And on top of everything we ordered desert. Be forewarned that you need to plan desert into your meal as the deserts are huge and delicious! We landed up leaving the restaurant on both occasions with lots of take out containers and we did enjoy the left overs for lunch the next days.

Miami's first Food Network's 'Chopped' champion was Ortanique on the Mile. That's Coral Gables ' famed Mircle Mile'. The senery is beautiful, the weather is always great, the decor of the restaurant is Caribbean. They have a seasoned staff and fine dining menu. Have unsweet tea, a rum marinated pork chop, and a tropical fruit flambe.
