Top Cuban restaurant in Miami

by lofugee

Writing as a non-cubano, but always on the lookout for great cuisine when traveling and I recently went to Miami for 3 days back in Nov and the goal was to sample all Cuban cuisine night and day. We tried Versailles, Havana Harry's, and Villa Habana, but Las Culebrinas easily takes the top prize. I had the skirt steak with potatoes, shrimp and salad and it was just so tasty and cooked just right. My missus had the ever popular roasted chicken and plaintains and that was delicious as well.

To compare against the restaurants I mentioned before is slightly unfair. Las Culebrinas has got a slightly more formal setting compared to others and their menu is not as extensive as a Versaille's per se. And I've only been there once compared to a couple of times at the other places, but that first visit was very memorable and I will definitely be making the extra effort to drive to this gem again.

• Pros: great food, great service
• Cons: location is fairly far west of downtown miami; price slightly higher than other cuban fare

found this place on my recent vacation to Miami. Execellent food, couldnt decide which to try first. Service was super fast even with a standing room only sunday evening crowd.

Excellent food and service

One of the best Cuban restaurants in Miami. Everything on the menu is cooked to perfection. I loved the deserts as well, with the exception of the chocolate flan.

• Pros: Great food at a GREAT price!
