If you’re in a rush. 10/10 Yes you definitely should eat here. If you’re not let me break it down.
Food
I came with friends/family and we ordered a bunch of stuff and tried a lot of things. Everything we tried was well balanced where not flavor stood out in each dish. The entree, apps and desert just melt in your mouth, chewing was effortlessly. Cant wait to try again.
Service
The service is 10/10, attentive, quick, charismatic and even had a conversation with one of the chefs and the managers. Everyone is ready to help and the wait time was quick, didn’t even feel like I was waiting.
All in all pull up.

Stopped in to grab a late dinner. Everyone was very friendly and the food was delicious. Best plantains I’ve ever had in my life. The sandwiches are large, prices are very reasonable.

Wonderful service! Visiting this cafeteria was an ideal thing to do for me. Their front disk staff was accommodating, helpful, and welcoming. He was totally impressed! I am deeply happy by how they handled their many customers correctly with no hassles at all. Such an amazing atmosphere! “5” stars all the way for them.

The greatest cafeteria in the area! I’ll admit it will be my second home. The meal they provided was delicious. The breakfast selection, in especially, was outstanding. They provided delicious iced tea. The room was spacious and well-kept. The pricing were really reasonable.

I’m only giving this one star for the fried plantains. That was the only item that was good. We ordered the pitcher of sangrias and it had a can of fruit cocktail in it (way to sweet). The steak was ordered and it was very thin and chewy. I honestly would be afraid my dog would choke on it if I gave him it. My group order two sandwiches, the first came out with cold fries and meat, only the bread was toasted. The second sandwich came out ten minutes later. The drinks are a rip off, I recommend going to a different establishment for drinks and food.

This is a really great downtown spot for authentic Cuban breakfast and lunch. Coffee was great, too and they’ve started doing oat milk substitutes for those who can’t have dairy.
The staff was super friendly. I wish they were doing indoor dining, but we still had a great experience. The staff chatted with us like friends.
The food was so good. I got the Cuban Breakfast. And parking is all street parking, but simple enough to find. It’s also within walking distance from the beach.

Probably my favorite meal on my trip to Miami. Small, unassuming place, with fair prices and good cafe food (and great Cuban coffee!) but on top of that the care and integrity of the people working there was apparent. I would definately go again when I’m in town.

Surprised is an understatement when it comes to Caña. This isn’t your typical restaurant hotel, upon entry the decor is very modern, chic and welcoming. We were welcomed by a very enthusiastic waiter who was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The food met my expectations: fresh and savory! I had the scallop, pork, and chicken which were all mouthwatering. If you’re getting dessert, definitely try the flan! If you’re looking for a nice restaurant with great music and ambiance, definitely check out Caña.

Visited cana for my first time yesterday to try out their Miami Spice dinner menu. I was very impressed on how authentic this cuban restaurant was! Everything was extremely delicious and worth the price. I got an appetizer (conch fritters), entree (shrimp with white rice and black beans), and dessert (flan). On top of that their was a wine of glass included which hit the spot!
The conch fritters were amazing and crispy! The sauce served on the side added that extra kick and flavor. The shrimp was also crispy and buttery to my liking and mixed with the rice and beans really made it feel like a home cooked meal. Lastly, the flan was up to par to my expectations. Will definitely be coming back!

I went to cana yesterday to try out their Miami Spice menu. Me and my guest couldn’t have been more satisfied! Everything was absolutely delicious. I ordered the shrimp as an appetizer which was crispy and full of flavor while my guest ordered the Burrata which was also incredible.
As a main entree I had the fish with white rice and black beans and it was pretty good. I would ask for more lemon on the side to squeeze on the fish.
My guest ordered the chicken which she said was amazing.
We also both got a red wine which comes included in the Miami Spice price. Definitely worth your buck.
Our waiter Danny was also really kind and made our experience even better.

Management greeted my party shortly after we walked inside. We arrived at midday so there was a slow crowd. We were seated in the back and mostly secluded. After ordering our food came out very quickly and was delicious!
My meal offered me one of the various tastes of Miami that I love and hold dear to my heart.
Overall rate: 4/5 due to the fact that we felt rushed to eat and leave while other diners were left to their leisure. Our food was very good. It was well seasoned and thoroughly cooked. Although it was good, I don’t imagine myself returning in the near future.

I came here for dinner while visiting the area area with my fiance. We were excited to try out some Cuban food and also found the overall area to be pleasant to walk through. We walked to the restaurant from our hotel room and found it pretty easily. We also chose to sit outside and were greeted by the waitress very quickly. The menu had a good number of selections, but wasn’t too big. We decided to go with the roasted pork and chicken with chimichurri. Both were very good. We had wanted to try the sampler platter and the side of yuca in garlic sauce but they were out of both unfortunately.
Overall a nice spot and I’d recommend a stop in!

Catering exceeded my expectations. I chose to make the order in person, over the 3rd party company. I was politely called when the food was ready, the portions exceeded my expectations and the presentation was above and beyond any expectations I had. All the food was organized in individual containers and presented in a sturdy box that made it all easy to carry. I will definitely be catering my future parties from Sergio’s.

Below average, expensive place. The first time I went the cashier girl was kind of rude to us, but I went again for a second chance. Maybe the butter is expensive because I paid for a half made, over toasted toast. You can see in the picture that they didn’t even spread the butter all the way. If you want a quick cuban breakfast, either Publix on each side has better food with better prices. I have them a second try and I was not satisfied.

I went into this place just to use the restroom because I was in the area working and had some downtime. The staff were super nice and welcomed me and directed me toward the back for the restroom. Then I figured, they were so nice, let me give them my business. I could eat.
I ordered a couple quick on the go items that were delicious.
I had the Cheese Baked Pastry, the Vaca Frita and Chicken Empanada. The cheese pastry was super flaky, buttery and cheesy! The Vaca Frita empanada was even better! It was stuffed with chunky shredded beef and was very flavorful. I would have gotten 2 if I knew they were so tasty because the chicken one was just OK but still good. I also had a cuban coffee to wash it all down! Yum.

I was intrigued to visit because my partner and I like to visit the worlds top bars. After finding out that a Miami bar made the list, we had to try it. We invited some friends to join us , had a reservation for 11 but showed up early because we were in the area and they were nice enough to accommodate which was great. Service was solid, food was great and drinks were good and good is the word because we’ve been places where the experience was out of this world. I enjoyed the food and atmosphere here more than I did the cocktails, but with that said they were pretty solid. Overall, I’d say this is a great spot to go with friends, just be aware music is really loud so you may need to shout to have a conversation-that’s one of the main reason it’s a 4/5 for me.

Amazing, authentic spot in Little Havana! We tried almost the whole menu and loved every single thing. The cocktails were also fantastic. Do not skip dessert and try the churro waffles, wow. And the band was a huge highlight as well. Love the dark, cozy vibe and watching great dancers enjoy the music. Definitely head to Cafe Le Trova if you have not, and if you have… go back!

The place has great vibes. My family loved the atmosphere coming from a Hispanic back ground. Our waitress was also super kind. How ever, the only reason why I am giving 3 stars is because if you are celebrating a birthday and take your own cake, they charge you $3.50 per person sitting in the table. I didn’t find this fair due to the fact that buying a cake is already expensive enough to have to pay an extra fee at the restaurant. I’ve never had this experience anywhere else.
Boliche
Boliche is a Cuban dish with round beef roast stuffed with chorizo sausages. It’s browned in olive oil simmered with onions. Potatoes are added and it’s served with white rice and fried sweet plantains. Your tummy will be happy.
Arrozo con Pollo
This is a chicken and rice. But the chicken and is a half chicken or big chicken leg in a bowl of rice. It’s got vegetables and spices that make the whole dish melt in your mouth.
Cuban Sandwiches
We talked about these at the beginning of this article. But let’s chat some more. When you get a Cuban sandwich be sure to get beans and rice. Also get plantains on the side. If you got a couple hours be sure to end your meal with Cuban coffee. That will fuel you up and keep you going.
Where can you learn more about Cuban food?
This is a Miami education site. What’s interesting is how the site talks about Cuban food and then gives you places to eat in Little Havana Miami.
Of course there is whole site that talks only about Cuban Food. It’s called cubarecipes.org.
One of the best ways to experience Cuban Food is to eat it.
