4.8 / 5.0(21,789 reviews)

We were in town to celebrate our 10 year Wedding anniversary with our daughters. Alejandro was our waiter for the evening. He provided great service, gave us his best recommendations on food, was so funny & attentive the entire time. We had such a great experience here. The food & drinks were so delicious & the restaurant was such a vibe. There was live music at the entrance but we sat in the garden area in the back. Very beautiful restaurant with lively energy. First time to come Old’s Havana. It was amazingly delicious Cuban food. And the place is so cool with the interior design. I got served by Gipsia. She is really nice person and she made me really comfortable and I enjoyed my lunch. And also I love their coffee. 5 stars! There’s something so charming about having all your senses awakened — the sound of live Cuban music, the aroma of delicious food, and the cozy atmosphere of a small family restaurant in Little Havana. The place was alive with birthday celebrations, Saturday date nights, and hungry locals. The restaurant was packed, a true sign it’s loved by the community. It’s been about a year since our last visit, and we noticed they’ve added a roof to the outdoor patio, which made dining outside much more pleasant. Thank goodness we sat near one of the industrial fans because it was steaming hot! We ordered one appetizer, two entrées, and two desserts. To start, we had the Salpicao de Mariscos — a mix of fresh shrimp, octopus, and squid marinated in olive oil, peppers, garlic, and a surprising hint of cider that added a touch of sweetness. It was such a refreshing and flavorful starter — highly recommend! For my entrée, I had the Vaca Frita with sweet plantains and sautéed veggies, which was just okay — not bad, but it didn’t quite have that crispy, garlicky punch I was hoping for after such a strong start. The vegetables were overcooked and way too oily, but the plantains were a hit for both my husband and me. He ordered the Ropa Vieja, which he really enjoyed, especially paired with the yuca fries. The unexpected star of the meal, though, was the dessert. We were planning to order the tres leches and flan, but while I was in the restroom, the manager came by to check on our table and suggested my husband try their Arroz con Leche instead. I can’t tell you how pleasantly surprised I was — the dish was smooth, comforting, and just the right amount of sweet with a touch of cinnamon. The taste and texture completely won me over! For the two of us, dinner came to just under $100 with tip included (18% gratuity is automatically added — common practice in Miami). Service: 4/5 Food: 3.5/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 Value: 3.5/5

We came to this restaurant and had Liudmila as our server. She gave us recommendations of popular items on the menu that were all very very good. They had live music for a bit which everyone loved. The food (appetizer platter) and drinks (passion fruit mojitos) were amazing. Prices were good. Highly recommend .

We stopped in for lunch after dominoe park. We were seated outside in the back. The outside seating was beautiful and nice weather made it better than the inside for sure. Of course you have to grab a mojito and cuban sandwich. Everything our party had was absolutely delicious. We will definitely return next time we're in town and recommend to others visiting the area. We absolutely loved this establishment!
