This restaurant is soooo good! I would give it 10 stars, if possible. We had Ropa Nueva La Rosa and Camarones al Agillo. Both were amazing! For dessert we had the Coconut 4 Leches. Excellent! Definitely recommend this restaurant!!

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.

We had gotten in late to Miami for a weekend getaway and were fortunate enough to stumble upon La Rosa. The food was absolutely delicious! From the cheese empanadas to my wife’s sirloin butt and my lamb shank. Everything was cooked perfectly and presented beautifully! Thank you to the staff for giving us an amazing first evening!

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 !
