Where is the Best Cuban Food in Miami, Florida?
I love latin food to start with, so this place had a head start. But these guys do cuban like nobody else in town. Furthest thing from a cafeteria you could ask for – tablecloths, piano player, efficient service . . . and of course, amazing food!The tostones rellenos are so good! There are other appetizers I keep meaning to try, but every time I go, I order these. I just can’t resist them – they are really that delicious. My mouth is watering just thinking about them!They have the usual array of cuban entrees, but dressed up nicer than most Miami Cuban restaurants do. You can get churrasco stuffed with fufu, vaca frita on a bed of fufu (not every dish has fufu, I just really like the way they make it, so those are two of my favorites!), delicious rabo encendido (oxtails), chicharrones de pollo . . . you name it, they’ve got it – and its delicious!If I had any complaint, it would be that it gets crowded. But that goes along with offering amazing food at not so amazingly high price
We loved this restaurant. Based on past reviews from 2006 and before, we assume this restaurant is now under new management or has a new chef de cuisine. Let me first say that we ate here during Miami Spice, which is basically Restaurant Week everywhere else but lasts 2 months in Miami. The prix fixe menu is smaller portions of appetizer, entree and dessert for $36. The waiter was a little resistant to us ordering off the Miami Spice menu, which is only to be expected considering the differences in price. Once we asked for the menu a second time and were clear, he warmed up considerably. The person who complained about mineral or sparkling water must have never been to a nice restaurant before because everyone knows that’s a standard “upsell” question asked by waiters. We ordered a bottle of white wine off the wine list, but they were out of it. So he recommended a bottle only $2 more that was good. The bread was a bit chewy and tough, but the herbed butter was nice. My sister got th

My father, my brother and I were in Miami for two nights, and I was tasked with the responsibility of picking a Cuban restaurant for dinner for one of the nights. Based on Citysearch reviews, I selected Las Culebrinas on Flagler Street. I was far from disappointed. I won’t pretend to be an expert on Cuban cuisine, but everything we ordered was excellent. My brother had a pork loin stuffed with green and sweet plaintains. My father had grouper and calamari in a tomato sauce. I had Cuban skirt steak with shrimp, potatoes and a salad. Sides included black beans and fried plaintains. All three entrees were incredible, and the sides were not far behind. For dessert, we had three types of flan (chocolate, caramel, and coconut). All three were delicious, with the coconut beating the others by a nose.The service could best be described as efficient and sufficient (which I much prefer to being pestered every three seconds). Our waiter’s English was only slightly better than my S
