La comida estuvo excelente pero se demoró bastante a pesar de que el restaurante estaba solo al 50 % de su capacidad. Ademas hace tiempo que no iba y los precios habían aumentado mas de un 50 %. Por lo demás todo bien.

Sat outside on the terrace for an early dinner. Great cocktails - the presentation of the Canchanchara was surprising. We particularly enjoyed the house speciality- Arrocito barrio chino de la habana.

Great tasting food. However, the empanadas were cold, like refrigerated cold in the center, but were tasty. The chicken seemed to have been reheated. It was hard and a bit dry. The fries, rice and beans were excellent! My friend’s churrasco was excellent. I’d give it another shot.

The food here is very good and we did enjoy all of it but the problem was that the chicken dish we ordered took a very very long time. If we had known in advance how long it was going to take we would’ve ordered something else but nobody bothered to tell us this information.

Server was outstanding. I asked for the most popular item on the menu. She recommended a fish served whole. It was fantastic. The servers just quietly came and went without interrupting our dinner conversation. Food was fantastic, atmosphere terrific and service just right. My new favorite restaurant in Miami.

We were fans of this restaurant years ago, and we understand it has changed hands. The decor has been updated, it looks very nice, although we missed the old piano which they had on Sundays years ago. The food is good overall, but we ordered the "pulpo" (octopus) was very tough. The "croquetas" were nice, as were the "frituras". The main courses were good, I had the pollo in soy sauce, and others had camarones enchilados and "vacafrita", all fine. There are some comments I must make: eating the food on plates which are meant for soup is not comfortable, at least they should ask the guests if they wish normal plates. The desserts were very good, specially the tres leches.

Nice restaurant but lacks good service . Food was very good , drinks were good , deserts were very good. Service was terrible . Very slow , took them for ever just to serve the water and that was just the beginning , and they try to sell bottled fancy water that cost about $6 a little blue bottle , don’t give options unless you ask for regular water . Bar service slow , ordering food was a disaster as they don’t include sides with most of the meals that are already pricey . They took about 45 minutes to bring the dinner and deserts another 20 minutes . A very stablished restaurant that needs better quality of employees and properly train them in how to provide better service . Gratuity is automatically included in the bill even when the service was not good at all.

As a visitor to Miami I was a little hesitant as we approached the restaurant. Off the beaten path in a less touristy part of town. There were just a few people in the restaurant. I was skeptical. But honestly the food and service were very very good. They took great care of us and the food was authentic and quite tasty. Not sure why there were so few people there, but I would certainly go back. Perhaps this is a Miami hidden gem. Give it a try and support a local establishment. I think you will be pleased.

We had a great time. Appetizers were fantastic. Originally went for ceviche which we loved. Had both styles. Then the empanadas! Especially the ox tail emapanadas. Meat was so flavorful and tender Then dinners - again ox tails toasted and slightly smoked - what it seemed like but again so flavorful Shrimp in Cuban red sauce Rice and black beans. A winner! Will go again.

From the minute you walk in, you feel like your home. If you're looking for great latin food, this is it. We started with the croqueta de jamon and empanadas(chorizo), which as my friend said, were incredible, followed by the Ropa Vieja for my friend, and Rabo Encendio(Oxtail) for me. The Oxtail is the house specialty, and did not dissapoint. Braise beautifully, and fall off the bone meat! The plantains were perfect as well. This was all capped off by the Flan, with an incredible canelle of marscapone and Dulce de leche mixture..don't miss it...the best of all things in this restaurant was the service. They were welcoming, happy, and all smiling. Don't miss this place if you're in Miami !
