Great resturant! Food is to die for! The drinks are great and portions are big. Get the pork chunks and the flan!!! You cannot go wrong. Everyone eats here. During the day there isn't a wait, but a 10min wait on a Saturday night.

Friendly enjoyable meal with attentive wait staff. Food was good. Menu, I have been told by knowledgeable people is similar to ones in Havana, is small with many types of choices esp. pork. Extensive bar 24 HOURS!!

I visited countless different restaurants across the country during my recent visit across the states, but this place definitely stood out. I remember it in particular, as the food was just great. I had the 'Havana 1957 special', which was chicken served with Cuban gravy, black beans, rice, sweet plantains and salad. I couldn't fault it in any shape or... More

Great drinks and atmosphere. Love the plantains and garlic dip. It is a great spot off the main south beach drag and less expensive.

If you have access to a car, or know the bus system well enough to navigate Miami, get over to Little Havana and get some Cuban food that will blow you mind. If you’re bound to South Beach and your only options for transport are foot, bike, or the 25 cent SoBe Local, then head over to Bernie’s L.A. Café.... More
