What People Are Saying About Las Culebrinas

In Short – A corner location in a strip mall on Flagler Street hasn't been enough to keep fans of upscale Cuban cuisine from finding this restaurant. The old-fashioned decor gives the place an air of formality. The classics are here, but chef-owner Carlos Rodriguez puts his own spin on them. Steak is stuffed with plantains. Salmon comes with a cilantro cream sauce. Seafood chowder comes with big chunks of catfish.

Top Cuban restaurant in Miami
by lofugee at Citysearch
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
