Old's Havana Cuban Bar & Cocina Reviews

We have been treated phenomenally, Liudmina treated us very well, the food is very delicious, the large rations, we have not been able to finish

Always a great experience with good food and friendly staff. This was our second time here and the lechon asado was our favourite. Always finish off with a Cuban coffee. The live music is a plus.

Get here for happy hour for a great priced authentic Mojito. Their Mojitos reminded me as to why this drink used to be one of my favorites! The food was also delicious but would probably not go for the ham. The bartenders are super quick and fun as well. Only issues is the crowds and the overall non happy hour prices.

Easily accessible location, excellent food and fabulous mojito! Very helpful and professional staff, very characteristic place! Highly recommended!

The food and atmosphere are the best! We had good waitstaff and the music was really fun! I would recommend asking if you can eat outside in the back. Great atmosphere, very lovely!

looked nice from the outside and busy so we went in. we chose the Vitrola, a sampler of all the various appetisers to give us a taste of Cuban style food, we loved it all except the pork tamale that wasn't to our taste, I'm sure it was a fine example of the dish but just not for us. We sat near the station where a lady was making the cuban sandwiches, they looked divine.

Find a random stroll in Little Havana. Very nice surprise that this restaurant with simple and good Cuban cuisine. The lechon asado is delicious accompanied by black rice with beans and fried banana. A good address

In the heart of Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood is this excellent restaurant. Warm welcome by a waitress, who was attentive and courteous throughout the meal. The setting of the restaurant is nice. Live Cuban music adds an authentic and festive touch to the atmosphere. The menu is varied. We ordered dishes that were served to us quickly. Tostones, beef were very tasty. Very good Cuban beer. Old’s Havana was a good experience to start over. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to discover the excellent flavors of Cuba in a friendly and warm atmosphere in Miami.

Typically Cuban restaurant. A restaurant with friendly service in Spanish or English. All dishes are of Cuban origin. Feel like you are in Cuba. I recommend.

Located on Calle ocho, it may seem small but I believe that have space in the back. They usually have a live band playing there which is nice if you enjoy some music and entertainment with your food. Their service is quick and friendly. The food I got which was salmon with Moro and tostones was good.

Enjoyed a nice dinner on the terrace in the back. Tamale starter was good as was the grilled fish main. Didn’t have space for dessert but had a perfect Cuban coffee.

This Cuban Bar Restaurant is charming with it's vibrant atmosphere and cuisine. I just went for a 1.5 hours lunch, but I swear Restaurant and I deserved longer visit. Next time I will definitely go there with relaxed mode not a throughout busy day. But I tasted some of good choices from their amazing menu.

Super cool place with really good service and food! There came live music that kicked even more again in the good mood. This place MUST be tried!

Our Little Havana tour guide recommended this spot at the end of our tour, and was he ever right! We tried the Cubano and Lechon Asado - both were absolutely perfect.

They are known for their Cuban sandwich which was good, but the steak sandwich was AMAZING!!! Live music was great and staff was very friendly.

This is a Cuban restaurant focused on tourists so the portions are smaller and more expensive than in other Cuban restaurants in the City. The terrace is nice and include 18% tip focused the bill. Food is rich

What made us know the place was the live music that, when we passed in front, invited us to enter. We chose to sit in the back of the restaurant and the environment is super nice, with music and beautiful decoration. Varied menu and great service.

Old’s Havana is a traditional Cuban restaurant with excellent food and drinks. We enjoyed eating outside in the terrace. Our waitress, Liudmila, was quite knowledgeable about the menu, dishes & drinks and made some excellent recommendations. She was very personable, taking pictures with/for us. She was just delightful. This restaurant comes highly recommended and do ask for Liudmila. Lou Miller Wilmington NC

The taste of Cuba accompanied by the best mojitos and the vibrant rhythm of live music. If you want to know what Little Havana is firsthand, this is the right place.

What a great find, great food, great service. Old's Havana Cuban Bar & Cocina staff, our server was simply brilliant! You must come here and bring all your friends and family

Wonderful authentic Cuban cosy restaurant bar. Amazing Cuban live music. Great food. If you want an authentic local experience, not the tourist trap, this is your place.

Very enjoyable (but somewhat touristy) spot with WONDERFUL Cuban food and music (on a Tuesday evening). Make a reservation- the line got long but we were seated within minutes with the reservation. Line for rest rooms but a minor issue with such a charming spot, friendly servers, and great food

Good Cuban food and my server Elizabeth made the experience great. She was knowledgeable of the menu.

Very friendly local, eat very good all Cuban. It seems to be in Cuba, to visit the little Havana neighborhood.

We're so happy we found you! It's a hidden treasure that the tourists haven't found yet :) We'll be back when we're in Miami again.

Spectacular!!! Delicious food and special treatment from everyone and especially from the waitress Liudmila who served us very well!! I recommend the roast pig and the yuca with mojo, the cocktails are super!!!

Busy but Typical, good advices, good food. If you are around little Havana, keep walking there, won’t be disappointed.

Maybe the best Cuban sandwich I’ve ever had! Every time I’m in FL I look for a new Cuban place, this one blew me away. That being said, be aware that they add an 18% “service charge” to your bill, instead of increasing their prices to cover their overhead. (No, it’s not a gratuity, you’re expected to tip on top of this “service charge”.) For that reason I would never return, as I see this practice as dishonest. But if you want a classic Cuban sandwich, they have one of the best.

After reading the reviews, we were in search of a good Cuban sandwich. The place is quite charming, not to big. Be ready for some loud live music, although they were very good. Sat at the bar, and ordered our drinks. There were 2 behind the bar, working, one always making drinks. The server we had was efficient but you had to ask for everything. Not a good approach. We had the Black Bean soup which was solid. The cuban was good, but not to the level we read about. We have had better cubans in south Fl. elsewhere. Although some of the other dishes we saw looked good. A 18% tip was included, which is typical in this area, but the bartender could have received more from us if he did his job better. We should not have to ask for silverware and napkins. Guess he was satisfied with a 18% tip. Never did ask how our dinner was either. The servers at the tables seemed much more engaged.

Great patio ! Good food ! Cuban vibes . Calle 8 Service overall . Good patio for smoke Tabaco and drink rum or rum old fashioned

Came for husband's birthday as he dreamed about the pork shank, since last year visit. This was perfect for the meals, shanks, chuletas and mojitos with fresh cane sugar. To top it off, our waitress, Marisol gave him a slice of cake with candle for his birthday!

One of the best place I ever visited. They served authentic cuban food. The staff are very accommodating and friendly. All throughout I enjoyed my stay there.

Over prices like everything in Miami 2 appetizers, 1 main course, 3 beers, 1 deserts....$95.00....0MG....................,...........

Old’s Havana is a typical restaurant-bar in Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood, offering typical Cuban dishes such as “old clothes” or “stuffed tostons”. These two are very common on the Caribbean island. In addition, the restaurant offers Hatuey beer, a classic Cuban beer, but unfortunately it is not the original, but is made in the United States. Outside of this detail, we can say that Old’s Havana is a place worth a visit during your next stay in Miami.

What an amazing place! So happy to have dined here. We stopped by for lunch and were pleasantly surprised. The cuban sandwich is so wonderful. I can't recommend this place enough. Go here and enjoy some amazing food. I hope someday we will be in the area again!

We came late for dinner with a friend while in Downtown and drove over to one of our favorite places for the music, the fun and the great food. Katy was our server and got to use my Spanish as I would suggest if you can order in Spanish you will enjoy the experience a little better. However, everyone speaks English. We started with the Mariqitas (banana chips) and a cuban sandwich (not the best but very good. I like a little crunch to my cuban bread. could have used another minute in the press. For dinner, we ordered shrimp in oil, a Churrasco steak, and roasted pork. a side of sweet bananas, and all ordered rice and black beans. All very good and fun music in the background in the back. If you sit inside, it is great Latin music live but a little loud. If you are with folks you want to speak to, it would be hard. That is why we sat out back.

Food was exceptional. Server was very nice but didn’t see her often, frequently without drinks. Would return without question. Very authentic Cuban.

amazing bar, live music, super friendly staff and great food. enjoyed everything about our night. sat at the bar watching the barmen make many cocktails and mojitos. you were so nice thanks for a great night

The line was pretty long during the Christmas break. We went around 5:30 and waited 30 - 40 minutes to get a table. Everything was delicious. Our waitress Daniela was the most friendly and knowledgeable person in Miami. She recommended a few dishes and drinks. They all tasted great and exceeded our expectations. The bartender Adrian made great drinks, alcoholic and nonalcoholic.

If you are ever in Miami you have to visit old Havana Cuban Bar & Cocina great food and entertainment . Me and my boys had a great meal. Ask for Jessica great menu recommendations .

Great spot for Cuban food and Havana experience. We had live music and this place was a happening place on Christmas Day.

Touristic. Quick service and tasteless lunch. Tried different courses none was better than the other. Difficult to recommend.

I was recently at the restaurant on the terrace but this time I didn't have the best experience. We had to leave because of the loud volume of the band playing on the terrace. We asked them to please turn down the volume but I think it was the opposite. We were unable to finish our drinks and appetizers.

Food leaves a lot to be desired. The food was cold. It’s the coldest winter in Miami and the AC was at full blast. To be fair, they offered us a blanket . Ambiance is pleasing. Music is good

Excellent place with delicious food, recommend tamale and old clothes with rice and bean. They have live music in a few hours and the Mood is very nice. The decor and Service are excellent.

Traditional Cuban spot in Little Havana. I’m sure it is always busy, but the wait for just 2 of us wasn’t bad at all. This place is packed with tables and with the band playing can be noise, but the vibe feels like what you’d imagine to find on the island. Good selection of Cuban favorites. Had the beef empanadas for appetizers. One of the best empanadas I’ve had in a while. Entree choice was the Lechon Asado (mojo pork). I have a preference for lean pork and this was not as lean as I prefer, but the taste and flavor was great.

Excellent experience!!! Food, service, atmosphere, everything was a 10/10! As a Cuban man, I know good Cuban and this is good!

Great souvenir for this Little Havana staple. We are already traveling in front of the storefront where Lyon is transported by the singers and the decoration. Beautiful menu and delicious dishes. Very charming !

a delicious restaurant, the dishes were original and very good, the waiters friendly, a pretty outdoor room

I recommend the Terrace, as the interior is somewhat crowded. They achieve the Cuban atmosphere, the very nice music, the efficient and friendly service, the tasty food, the very good coconut mojito. Reasonable prices. I recommend arriving early, and be careful with the bill, as the 20% tip is already included

Good experience of Cuban cuisine where the waitresses explain the preparation and type of food very well. Meal. The typical drinks are also very pleasant.

Pick a Sunday morning, just before noon, to explore the Calle Ocho. Choose the Old Havana Cuban Bar and Restaurant and sit in the inside courtyard for a remarkable lunch. The staff is ready at that time of the morning with Expresso or Mohito. The menu is extensive yet manageable and the servers are very informed for you. There may be a guitarist strumming Latin favorites in the covered over yard. Cuban decor abounds and perhaps a local rooster just might visit the grounds with some more color of Havana. Cuban casseroles and seafood or sandwiches are delivered on large platters. The Team at the bar have the beverages lined-up and ready to go. Have a great pair of walking, "or dancing", shoes on for the rest of the sights and sounds of Calle Ocho in the best part of Miami.

Authentic food and atmosphere. It is very touristy and crowded but totally worth the wait. Cubano sandwich is their specialty. Very delicious and freshly prepared. I ordered also classic Mojito and Cuban flan which were nothing special.

Very nice and particular atmosphere, it seems to be in Cuba. Good food and impeccable Service. Nice and professional waiters.

Really nice place with really cool staff in the bar. Good Mojitos is not bad either👍 Since we were just having a drink we were nit able to sit in the garden but the bar was good enough.

Nice and familiar environment, typical food, very good and full. Servants attentive, kind and communicate in English and Spanish. Worth the experience.

Evening in Little Havana and chose this restaurant for dinner. Very popular place and I understand why. Nice environment with live music, excellent Cuban cuisine, which makes it a very festive place. Friendly and helpful staff. Prices in Miami of 2024.

We loved the place, the terrace was very nice, the food was delicious and our server Gaby was always looking out for us!!!!!

Hopped off the tour bus and started walking around Little Havana area. We noticed this restaurant and the crowds already waiting at 4pm! We were seated quickly and Katherine was our waitress. She was great! Explained everything to us. The food was wonderful! Full of flavor! We sat in the patio area! Don’t miss the patio! It was so nice! Live music , but not so loud to not be able to have a conversation! The menu was such I wish I could have tried everything. So much variety! Everyone’s food looked delicious and plates were emptied! What does this tell ya? Great food, wait staff and ambience!!!

Chicken soup is very rich in flavor and a nice starter. The Cuban sandwich is fantastic and is a must in Little Havana. It seems they try to pack in too many tables as it’s very tight. Service was lacking today as well. Fair prices.

Excellent experience, exquisite food and very good service from the server Sabely, she made us feel comfortable and happy. Highly recommended

If you are looking for a decent Cuban style lunch this is a good place. Food was very fresh and tasty. They also make a great cocktail.

We dropped in on a Tuesday evening and they managed to fit us in even though the place was very busy. You may well need to reserve particularly if you are a larger group. There was a band playing in both parts of the restaurant but the service was fast and efficient. The food is good although nothing amazing. It’s in line with all of the other Cuban places we visited. We had a good experience here and would recommend it. It might be a bit loud for some people particularly if you’re sat near the bands !

Pleasant is good time we have travel thank you Liudmila. We travelled to Cuba. Very warm.............................

A Must stop along Calle Ocho in Little Havana! Live music, great bar, the very best Cuban food & cocktails! Miami’s Best Cuban Sandwich!

This is the best Cuban food I've had, period. That's why I eat here when I'm in town, often before Miami Marlins games (as the stadium is a mile up the street). I had the whitefish with moro rice and sweet plantains and all were outstanding as always. But a few detractors to be aware of; the place is packed, loud, and uncomfortable. There are no free refills on drinks; you pay $4 for a soda and they just give you a 237 mL bottle and that's it! (Would have been cheaper at the game). Service is typically slow because they are so busy. AND they automatically charge you an 18% service fee so remember when you go to pay that the tip was already included. The inside is too closely packed and uncomfortable for my tastes so I've started sitting outside. Even in the hot Miami summer, it's comfortable outside because there is a lot of shade and they do a good job with the fans. If you want a quiet dinner, not the place. If you want to get in and out with an inexpensive meal, not the place. But if you want phenomenal authentic Cuban food, it is definitely your place!

Amazing place with Cuba's vibe. Waiters are so polite that you have feelings you're really feeling that you are welcomed there. Both food and rum were so good.

Entered by chance in this Cuban restaurant we did not regret! We had a great time between a nice dinner and a great atmosphere (including a 4 musician orchestra).

Excellent sanduíches, the flair with many memories of old Cuba is simply welcoming. A little something, the mojito looks great, but could be more flavorful

The Little Havana concert bar and restaurant. The menu is very extensive, both food and drinks (the list of rums!!). Our dishes were excellent but arrived a little lukewarm, only reason for 4 out of 5. Another detail: it plays the Cuban way so very loud, if you are looking for a quiet evening ask the patio at the back. If you want the Cuban atmosphere, stay in the main room.

Very good Cuban food and good atmosphere in Little Havana Miami. I recommend booking and being in the internal garden. There are music shows during dinner. You have to try old clothes, which were delicious. I'm sure my favorite dish. Daisies must also be tested. Optimum quality price for being Miami.

A great place we are in Cuba! There's the atmosphere, there's the cocktails, there's the great food and top-notch staff to make and redo without any problem.

Very nice and characteristic typically Cuban place. Live music and really well cooked Cuban dishes. Very nice staff. Absolutely recommended for a dinner at little havana!

So glad we stopped here before our flight. Everything was so good. We ordered the appetizer platter...so good and a nice tasting. Everything we ordered was so good, we were sad to leave leftovers. Very busy place!

We were in Little Havana in Miami on sad business which we concluded at lunch time. We always try to have Cuban food before leaving the area and there are few places (if any) to have better Cuban food than Southwest Miami. My brother looked up nearby restaurants and Old's Havana popped up with a very high rating, so off we went. Only five minutes away but on a different plane of existence as the area is highly sought out by tourists galore; it was located next to "domino park.' The neighborhood had other restaurants, cigar stores, and tour buses!!! Old's has a parking lot at the rear of the restaurant, somewhat hidden, but accessible and free before 6pm. If you use the lot you can enter through the back of the restaurant and skip the crowds out on the sidewalk; save that for later. First things first. Having lived in Miami a long time and experienced the haughtiness of servers who like to ignore your English we were surprised that almost the entire wait staff spoke excellent English. Didn't matter, I speak fluent Spanish. The restaurant is open air with an air conditioned area up front but not cold. We sat here across from the bar. The restaurant is also known as "La Casa del Mojito." my wife ordered a passion fruit mojito from our very capable, friendly server, Marisabel. For lunch we did not deviate from our usual, Vaca Frita for her Ropa Vieja for me; both dishes can be the standard by which a Cuban restaurant should be judged. Accompanied by maduros (fried plantains) and Yuca con Mojo (cassava with a garlic sauce, some places skimp on the sauce but not here). We shared a flan, a creme caramel dessert and Cafe Cubano (for me, not shared). Word of caution: service fee of 18% was automatically added to the bill. Marisabel's work ethic and easy manner was well worth this and more. We expected so-so food once we saw the hawkers out front trying to get people in but would go back anytime. Not a small place and lots of good food and drinks.

Good was good, service was scarce and they brought out all kinds of items they didn't warn they would charge us for. We asked for water to drink and they brought us a bottle of sitting water for the table and didn't mention charging $7 for it. They asked if we wanted fries with our sandwiches and didn't mention charging $10 for the fries. To cap it all off there was a 18% service fee added to the ticket. I expected a $100 meal for our family and it was $130 without tip. If you're going to charge for these things, you should make it clear to the customer. I'll never go back not recommend it.

Little Havana concentrates a street with civets that we were not able to visit because we arrived at the end of the day and they were closed. There remain the numerous restaurants in the street and this one attracted us by the musicians who immediately immersed us in the warm Cuban atmosphere. There was a queue but we were taken care of quickly and found a table on the covered terrace at the back of the restaurant. Unfortunately we could no longer hear the musicians so clearly the best part seemed to me to be in the small room at the front but I must say that we still had a very good evening. There are a lot of choices, even too many choices, I felt a little lost! As these are typical dishes, it was difficult to understand what it really was but I was not disappointed with my choice. The price is very fair and the waiters are rather smiling and friendly but the service was very long!

It seems to be in Cuba with typical live music Cute Tr Good food Try the chips d fried bananas And drink a mojito

This place is one of my go to for Cuban food and (unpopular opinion) I prefer it over Versailles. So this place does not require reservations only and PRO TIP: it’s large enough with a big outdoor seating area (with fans - because hello MIAMI) to accommodate you. The location starts with all the authentic vibes like a bunch of domino players just a few feet from The restaurant. The fact that most nights you can catch live music. Most of the staff are Hispanic. And of course location location location in that it’s located in a historically Cuban area with other fun spots to check out. For food: start with the Classicos 1) empanadas 2) Croquetas 3) Tostones Rellenos (add the shrimp big dawg) 4. Masitas De Cerdo Fritos (fried pork chunks) All four starters were packed with flavor, came ready to order, and a great introduction to the main course if you make it there. For the main course: 1) Vaca Frita De pollo (crispy shredded roasted chicken) 2) Lechon Asado (traditional marinated roasted pork) Pro Tip: I recommend for sides to do rice and beans, sweet plantains, and you can never go wrong with fries. The food speaks for itself because I’ve been back several times. #Havanamorefood

We went on a Wednesday for lunch Arriving about 11:30. We were seated in the back in a covered outdoor courtyard. The person who took our order was very pleasant and accommodating. We ordered the classic mojito for our cocktail (it was the best mojito I have ever had), two chef empanadas which were filled nicely and did not skimp on the filling. The ceviche and tamale for appetizers also. They were both excellent. We also ordered the Cuban sandwich which was loaded and tasted wonderful. Servers would bring food as it was ready. For dessert we had coconut flan and the tres leche. They topped off our lunch. Service was great. Food was great. The ambience was great. We really enjoyed our visit here. Our bill was $98. As part of the bill there was a service charge of 18% which was the tip for the server. If you read the menu 100% of the service charge goes to the employees. Usually, I would have a problem with a restaurant, adding the tip on, but the service was impeccable. .

Of my favorites! I've been with friends several times. There is parking on the back of the restaurant. Whenever I go it is full, and although I have not made Reservation, the wait is few minutes. The service is exceptional. The mojitos are glorious and the food is exquisite. Prices are also super accessible. The atmosphere is very welcoming. You have so much fun you don't want to leave.

Great atmosphere and service. Delicious food (my friend had the Cuban sandwich) and mojitos. Mojitos are expensive though - with tip they are $20 each.

Food and drinks were delicious. I Loved the back area with the cute tables and lights that were set up. Location was perfect for friends out looking to have a great day/evening

This Cuban restaurant is very good. In addition, from 3 to 7 p.m. they have Happy hour with discounted prices for tapas and drinks, which is very good. There is a children's menu of breaded chicken with fries that is very good. It also has mojitos and a very good cuba libre of rum. The service is excellent and the price is very reasonable.

Charming place and good Cuban cuisine in Little Havana. Good attention from the waiters

Emblematic restaurant in the Cuban district, we are immediately attracted by the musicians playing music A magnificent courtyard welcomes you at the back of the restaurant. Typical food at affordable prices for Miami with dishes to share. To do if you are passing through!

The atmosphere of this historic venue on Calle Ocho is certainly pleasant, with live music in the evening. As for the food, although good, it is not at the same level as other Cubans in the area, or at least the dishes we tried. Price around $80 per couple.

There is live music and a surprisingly big and nice terrace in the back. Service by waitress Sandra, who help’s explaining and shows pride in telling about Cuba, was good. And the food is just great! Highly recommended.

It was a very nice place. Very busy throughout the day with very polite and friendly staff with customers and ready to respond to customer requests. Very special and delicious menu with Cuban dishes. Acceptable prices. Highly recommended!

This was my second time going there,I like the place, nice Cuban food, atmosphere and most of all live music,and of course there drinks. Definitely will go again when I'm in town, highly recommend to pay it a visit. During busy times you have to wait for a table,but it's worth the wait. There service was still good dispite it been very busy. Good job to everyone.

Excellent food, nice place, very cozy and very good treatment from the beautiful waitress Katy, very attentive and everything very good and everything in general very nice and special treatment from the waitress Katy and very nice place

We have been disappointed with Cuban restaurants in the Miami area until now. We had a great lunch in a location with a fun vibe. Jessica provided good service with good humor to folks unfamiliar with Cuban foods. We got a nice wine and two of our party got martini's that were some of the best they have been able to get in Miami. The menu had items somewhat different from better known Cuban restaurants, and the difference made the meal more interesting. When we return to the Miami area, we will seek out this restaurant.

Great drinks, food and atmosphere. Get the sampler! Best empanadas and croquettes I've ever had! Get the coffee! Great entertainment!

Everything we asked for was very good. The attention has also been ten. I would return to this place safely.

We had a wonderful experience at Old’s. The BEST Cuban Sandwich, nice cocktails - try the spiced cubalibre. The service was great. We sat on the back patio which was pretty and had a nice atmosphere. The negative here is that there was a large table of men all smoking cigars which can ruin your appetite. Fortunately the left just as our food arrived. Overall we lived this place!

We went here with friends and it did not disappoint! We sat in the patio in the back. It was a cute courtyard with trees. We each had a flavorful Cuban sandwich, accompanied by soup or fries. The cocktails were fancy and tasty. The best top off of the meal was the Cuban espresso! Wow! Super delicious.

The food was terrible. The steak was poor quality and served lukewarm. This is a tourist trap for those that do not know the difference between this and actual Cuban food. The service was even worse. We waited 1hr and 15 minutes for our food and we were with young children. The cocktails were decent. In sum, bad food and terrible service. Tourist trap for tourists that do not know what they are eating.

My wife and I had lunch prior to the Miami Marlins game and were very glad we had made a reservation as the restaurant was packed. We ate outside on the back patio. The tables are very close and it was quite warm. Our server was friendly and had some excellent suggestions on drinks and food. My wife had the picadillo and I had the lechon asado. Both dishes had lots of flavor and were filling with the side dishes. We enjoyed trying some different flavor profiles and my mojito was tasty on a warm afternoon. Parking was a bit of challenge and the overall Little Havana area is crowded and certainly an experience. We would happily eat here again.

When we arrived at Old's Havana Cuban Bar & Cocina, we weren't hungry, but we wanted to sit down and soak up the atmosphere. So we ordered coffee and cocktails. It was truly a great experience. Good drinks, great service, and a fun atmosphere with live music in the background. We'll definitely be back!

I am a huge fan of Cubano Sandwiches and a recent trip to Fort Lauderdale left us super close to Little Havana. We had to go to Old's Havana and it was incredible. The Cubano was the best I've ever had. Our appetizer plater was incredible. The Mojito was spot on and everyone at the table loved everything they had. Strongly recommend.

Stopped by for lunch. This restaurant is busy which is always a good sign😄. I had the best most tastiest Cuban sandwich ever🏆💪, wife had the equally nice Salmon. Both were big portions. Had the Cuban coffee which was sweet and lovely. First time we have had Cuban food and this will be one of our great memories in visiting Miami. Look out for bar tender Cauilo B who was brilliant and check out his Mojitos😜. So if in Little Havana make sure you check this place out. If getting off the red bus tour it’s really close by. Believe me you will love it🏆

We went to dinner at this restaurant that is noted as a good restaurant in the area of little Avana in Miami. Good decoration and live music. After sitting down the problems begin: 01. We ordered crown beers that came without Lima. After ordering 3 times, we went to the bar to pick up. 02. We ordered a gin tonic. Trouxeram gin sem tónica. We had to ask another employee. 03. The first dish arrived. And after 10 minutes of waiting, I asked our employee what was going on. If it was normal to bring the dishes at different times. After another 10 minutes they apologized and said that dish wasn't ours... 04. There are 6 more dishes and one is missing. We waited another 10 minutes and called the employee to say there was a dish missing. 10 minutes later came the last dish to which everyone had finished dinner. 05. Food. We were named as one of the best Cuban restaurants of the Little Avana. If so, in my opinion it is not worth spending time and money in this restaurant. Achei fraco. Restaurant to fool the tourist...

We are a group of 4 Spanish friends. Excellent place to eat and have some beers. An excellent environment. We ordered plates to share and then individual ones. The excellent chilindrón. The delicious empanadas. Isabella's treatment and attention was EXCELLENT. Thank you. Don't miss the opportunity to visit this site.

This place is a perfect must if you visit little havana. This is a popular place it boasts live music, even the bar men play an instrument. Food great as is the friendly staff. Happy hour cocktails are only 6.95 dollars and they are strong. We just stopped by for a drink then walked around the shops ( its not a big place) then back to little havana for dinner.

Not great food was cold and steak was tough and chewing rice not cooked. Shoved in a corner, very hard to get waiters attention gave up and just asked for the bill So tempted to just walk out so we could pay and leave to get attention

Tourist place. They rip you off and give you bad service. The musicians play a couple of fake Cuban pieces and then take a break. They are unprofessional and listless We went there because Ball and Chain across the street was closed but we regretted it almost immediately. Not recommended

Old's Havana is like being in Cuba. The ambiance is very much like Havana. Being Cuban I would know. Well, this trip was just amazing. Visiting this Cuban was just the perfect thing to do. The food was just like home. Laura Fuentes (the waiter) made us feel like family. The food was the right temperature and I loved the flavors. Thank you again.

We decided to head to little Havana at night to listen to music, have dinner and possibly smoke a cigar. We walked the street to to just decide spontaneously which restaurant called out to us. Immediately the liveliness of this place drew us in. The music and energy of this place was the standout element for us. The wait staff were absolutely wonderful too - my travel partner made an off hand comment about me not liking my drink, and our waitress insisted on changing it, even though I did not mention it to her, as I was perfectly happy to finish it. We had a super fun night listening to wonderful music .

Great place to visit. Good food, good cocktails, good music and great staff. Outside seating area is quite large and has its own live music but can be susceptible to the odd thunderstorm! Well worth the visit!

Excellent food and entertainment. We had the house special which is slow cooked lamb. Delicious. We went on a saturday which included live entertainment

It was like visiting Cuba but in MIAMI.The ambia was great ; life music,great service and delicious food!! Best MOJITOS!!

First off, let's start with parking. Avoid any problems and park behind the restaurant. Public parking. Upon entering the restaurant, they immediately got me a table in the garden area. It was nice and quiet, and a nice atmosphere. Like being at the islands. The waitress, Daniela, was quick. She greeted Mr and gave me some really nice suggestions. I ordered the Palomilla steak, rice and beans, and a side of Maduro. While I was waiting, they brought out a little basket of crackers. Not the garlic bread that is usual at cuban restaurants but still nice. There's music playing softly in the background. Nice. My plate arrived.The meal came out quickly. So I didn't have to wait too long. A nice piece of meat, rice and black beans. I couldn't wait to dig in. The first taste was wonderful. Just as I expected. The food was great. This was a nice find. Right in the Calle Ocho area. Domino row. A nice historic area. I love coming down here and it's been a while since the last time I was in this area. Many little restaurants and places to hang out with friends. So, good food. Good service. Parking available. Nice restaurant. I definitely recommend this place and I will be back, for sure.

The atmosphere was great with nice music. Liudmila service was very attentive and friendly, the food was quick and very yummy. With a nice mojito a, very enjoyable experience!

Bar, restaurant with musicians, beautiful Cuban atmosphere in the Little Havana neighborhood. Mojitos are delicious, especially the coconut one. Pretty nice tapas. All well advised by Ari, a very gracious and friendly French speaking waitress.

VERY mediocre sandwiches. We were really hungry so we split one of them, but the other we just left uneaten. I hate food waste, so that's how bad it was. Fairly quick service but she kept trying to upsell us, which was weird. They were playing loud music while the live musicians were tuning so it was an awful cacophony. Really unpleasant all around. Couldn't wait to get out of there.

Plain and simple, this is a must-stop when in Little Havana. As to the physical layout, the front of the restaurant is indoors, narrow, with the tables very close to each other. There is live music in this area as well, which is great but the noise level overall in this part of the restaurant can be pretty high. The back half of the restaurant is outdoors, mainly covered and shady, although a few tables were in direct sunlight. As to service, I want to start with Karla at the hostess stand. She was so patient and friendly dealing with all customers, and promptly accommodated our seating request change. Our server was Sadys, who was attentive and friendly. And now to the food. We had Cuban sandwiches and the lechon asado with moros as a side. Everything was so delicious that we are still talking about it. Throw in a mojito and you have a perfect meal.

We had lunch here. It was very busy and we had to wait for a table. Despite that, service was efficient and quick. Food was great. What's not to like!

Cuban atmosphere guaranteed! Nice choice to eat. The waitresses are super friendly and in a good mood. A beautiful terrace is at the back it is really nice:)

Best Cuban sandwich I have had. The bread was fresh and the cheese was excellent. The other food was good as well. The prices were not bad considering it is located in Little Havana. They add some kind of service charge that runs the bill up significantly. We will definitely be back.

This was on our list of musts for Miami on a recent pre-cruise stop. Old’s is amazing!!! We were seated on the patio on a lovely evening. There is a Cuban band playing out front tho and worth a listen. We started with ham and cheese croquettes and empanadas - both so savory. We had the best mojitos I’ve ever had. The Sangria is amazing as well as the Pina Coladas and beers. I had the deep fried port belly (cicharones) And my husband had the pan fried breaded fish. We had rice and beans, sweet plantains and fried sweet potato’s as sides. I can not stress how slap your mama good this food was - it was soooo amazing. We had caramel covered flan for dessert - soooo good. Drinks, food and especially atmosphere and service were all top shelf and we will be back some day!!!!

Excellent discovery! In the evening on weekends we feasted with these Cuban dishes. Very efficient service! Dilapidated atmosphere with a live Cuban band! The decoration is also great with lots of vintage details We were in the first room bar side it was top!!

Excellent food, nice place, very cozy and very good treatment from the beautiful waitress Katy, very attentive and everything very good

A pub that is a lot of fun. The waiters were all super friendly and the food and mojitos were very good. Plus good live music - what more could you want? We liked it so much that we went back the next day.

This restaurant is located right on one of the main street of Little Havana area. There was a long line of people waiting during the lunch time but the line moved fast. After getting seated, the service was great. We got drinks and ordered an appetizer and 4 entrees. Yuca fries were our favorite and the entrees were great as well. Cocktails and mocktails were great as well. There was a live band playing near the waiting area, which made the wait much easier. It made us fall in love with cuban food.

The place itself is also nice, a little touristy but nice... we intended to order a fish starter, it's fried and so we did, unfortunately the fish starter costing around 15 dollars consisted of 3 boiled shrimps and some vegetables underneath vinegar in a mini cup, the fried food in 6 mini potato balls... a beer and a mojito to drink for a total of $64 to make you hungrier than before

I will definitely visit again ✨ ,this place has all ✨ taste of authentic cuisine , great atmosphere , loved the vibes and aesthetics as well. Loved the warmth and the happiness of everyone there. Live band is great I sat at the bar , was blown away by the mojito Camilo made for us , hard to have just one 😄 Will forever keep coming here ! Great place , 20 out 10.

I went with my husband to eat and had a super good atmosphere and attention. I had a great time, Luzmila, a red-haired girl, treated us wonderfully, the best mojitos I had in my life. I had never tried Cuban food and we liked it a lot, we ordered a variety of starters and ropavieja which was brutal. Recommended 100 x 100. Thank you for making our vacation happier

My wife and I found ourselves in Little Havana at lunchtime and gave Old’s Havana a try and it did not disappoint. Everything from the empanadas, to the black beans, and finally the Cuban sandwich were perfect. The black beans may have been the best I have ever had and I know my black beans. One last thing, this place was making Mojitos like they were going out of style. If you are in Miami give this place a look. She will not disappoint

Bad service they cheat people with drinks offer you something and then it's not what the managers are offering instead of helping the customer are part of the scam

An acquaintance recommended it to us and we went for lunch and it did not disappoint us. Typical Cuban tavern with a very good atmosphere, good service and good quality of food. We ordered a Cuban snack and it was enough, very well served and accompanied by very well prepared mojitos. Live music and good service. We will be back

Good culinary option, excellent care by Alejandro, good drinks and good gastronomic option with live Cuban music!! Recommended

We tried a few different Cuban places whilst in Miami, but this - the first we went to - was definitely the best. We opted for the outdoor seating in the back of the restaurant, which was really nice. Service was great, and the food, cocktails and Cuban coffee were all delicious.

We had lunch one afternoon in this crowded and very lively restaurant. It's a little expensive but the setting is nice and the mojitos are good... the service was a little long. Our waitress was very nice, however the one we asked to order, as it was not her table (we didn't know) was not friendly at all. Nor the Mr at reception who tells you if you can come in or not. They don't care, the tourists are lining up to get in. Food wise it's good but nothing exceptional

We visited with our 7-month old puppy to get some lunch, and it was great! We needed a dog friendly restaurant where she wouldn’t be in the sun and they accommodated perfectly. They brought over some water for the puppy too! We all got Cubans which were excellent and the mojitos are to die for! I got the mango one and I 10/10 recommend. It came with a delicious stick of sugar cane to snack on!!

Brilliant night out in Downtown Miami. Life music, great food and cocktails. Got seated even though we hadn’t booked. Highly recommend (all the other bars and restaurants in the area were empty).

Stopped here for lunch before heading to the stadium. Four of us ordered something different and our lunches came out hot and as ordered. I tried the chicken sour and to my surprise, it reminded me of the soup my mother made. Service was great and we were not rushed. Will definitely return.

Great hopping spot for lunch! Wait is worth it! The food was delicious, drinks good, and awesome place to people watch! Great vibe!

Great location in little Havana in the mythical calle Ocho Cuban music from wine a good choice of menu but the quality was in the norm. Quite fast and attentive service

We were there with 5 people aged 53 to 7 to eat. Cuban and also available as a gluten-free option. Delicious cocktails and a good atmosphere

We went for lunch, not in the garden, nice atmosphere, live music at the right volume. Excellent moJito. I took a simple chicken breast with rice, black beans and vegetables, you could really feel the soul and taste of Cuba. My wife the Chevice Highly recommended Adequate price for std Miami.

Karen was amazing 👏🏻 A place where you can eat, have a laugh, super nice Karen, and efficient at their work, my favorite place without a doubt

Great restaurant/bar! The food was excellent. Large portions and a very good Cuban selection. A beautiful equipment you really feel at home in Cuba with great live music (at least during our visit). Our special highlight were the mojitos which are available in different versions, my insider tip is the Coconut Mojito!

They took away our plate of food before finishing it completely, inviting us to leave the premises as soon as possible because there were more people on the street waiting. A good business must look after its customers above all else, both for those who are yet to come and for those who already are.

Arrivals without reservation at 19:00, settled quickly, terrace at the back, great.Better terrace if you can, because the air conditioning is strong in front as often in the places in Miami.Numerous coktails, varied menu of dishes, meats, fish, super efficient and attentive service of Gaby.Correct prices ,versus miami beach for example.Live music in the 2 parts of the restaurant

Small Cuban restaurant on calle Ocho where you can enjoy a very good Cuban sandwich emblematic of Miami. You can stop there.

This establishment charges a different price to what is on the menu, we ordered a beef for $18.50 and a chicken for 15.50 and an ultra beer, you have to pay $77.00 be careful I will leave photos to prove it...

We took a visit to Little Havana while at the 2025 FOP Conference and folk...I am glad we did. Had some really good food and enjoyed a couple drinks and good cigar. Enjoyed some time outside of the Miami Beach area.

We had an incredible time in this restaurant Sitting at the bar we missed nothing of the cocktail preparation and the communicative good humor of the bartender thank you for your kindness

This place was jam packed with tourist which explains our one hour wait for our food…the waitress and manager were very apologetic. We forgave the wait when we received our food which was delicious all around…We received complimentary coffee at the end of our meal. The meal for 5persons with no alcohol was $120 including tip which is automatically added.

Great Cuban food in a comfortable and typical setting. Prices are average in the area and maybe even slightly lower. Live music makes the experience truly unique!

The live show, the food, brink, and service were great. We had a great time when we went to visit Little Havana.

A very nice place, great, I loved it, I was served by a beautiful girl named Katy, very friendly and exceptional service. I really liked the food and the treatment at the Katy plateau.

Went here as we thought based on reviews this woukd be great. And maybe it’s for some but our experience wasnt great. Sat in front of several fans and the noise of the fans along with everything else just was too much. When we left the restaurant and got to the street that seemed so much more relaxing and quiet. I do like a good sports bar or Something like that but this one was more fans and couldn’t tell to the person accross the table. Wife and I both had a Cuban sandwich. Hers was really good, mine was all dry and break crumbling. Soups were amazing. Just expected more fine the reviews.

Situated in the center of the commercial area of Little Havana neighborhood, this restaurant/bar delivers on many levels but unfortunately underperforms on food quality. There is live music in the front area where the bar is located, as well in the back area which is a semi outdoor garden. The wonderful music masks the unspectacular food which was mediocre and generally overpriced. The fried fish Cuban sandwich, a staple of the county’s cuisine, was bland and served on an unremarkable bun. The shrimp “stew” was disappointing and overpriced, the black bean soup, ordinary. Old Havana is known for its drinks, the many varieties of Mojito do not disappoint… you would be better served to go visit for a cocktail and the live music and choose one of the many restaurant options close by for lunch or dinner.

Visited this bar last night and it was totally unpleasant starting from bartender and also the people who was around the bar. The moment I stepped in with my female friend, (we are from Europe )we get so unpleasant questions if we are Russian. After serving the drinks from bartender, who didn’t speak any English with us , he never approached to ask if our drinks are OK if we need anything else, we were totally completely ignored as a guest , as a female! It’s such a shame for a place like this. Specially if you want to feel a Cuban culture in Miami.

We attended a welcoming party on the patio the day before the wedding. When we arrived, it was confusing as there was a long line outside with no one telling us where to go. We walked through the small dining room out to the patio. It was not as private as I think it should have been with a bar and people not in our party out there. The red robe really doesn't do much. Food was pretty good, although some of the group didn't feel well later that night. My husband and I were fine and enjoyed the offerings on the buffet. Drinks were good. Not sure I would return. It was OK.

To truly experience Cuban Miami, you will need to have a dining experience. We chose to eat our last meal of the vacation here while visiting the sites of Calle Ocho. While there are several great places to eat Cuban food, this is the best combination of food, drinks and music in the heart of Little Havana. The restaurant is a small building adjacent to Domino Park. While the building is small with a bar, stage and some 2 top seating, there is a courtyard behind with ample seating. We got reservations for 6, largest party at 11:30 and quickly had our table. When we were then helped by a great waitress that help us find the best things on the menu and everything was good. As soon as we sat the meal started with mojitos, the best of our trip with a piece of cut sugar cane in them. We then had the appetizer sampler as well as grilled octopus that was amazing. For the main entree, I had the Tasajos with sweet plantains and it was incredible. Everyone enjoyed the food and drink. It was a great meal and better Cuban experience. I highly recommend.

On a tour of Miami and was hungry for an authentic Cuban sandwich, unfortunately they don’t serve the Cuban until after 3:00pm, we were there for lunch. We settled for the sampler appetizers and it was very good. I’d love to go back sometime for the Cuban. I noticed some post about too many tourists in the area, I was one of them. They treated me like a local and I speak very little Spanish. voy a volver

This place is the best, the best experience in all the services, I would go again whenever I can ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Waited 1.5 hours, food arrived cold and mediocre. Poor service, bad experience. Paid $250 for five, overpriced and disappointing. Not recommended.

We came for the cocktails which were delicious and stayed for the enchiladas and live music. A great evening with brilliant staff

Hands down the best spot for Cuban cuisine out of the 3 my family and I tried while visiting Miami for 4 days. As an aficionado of Cuban cigars and food and visited Havana for several years I was impressed by the lack of Americanization and authenticity to the Cuban flavors and traditions. Great service and suggestions from our server Elizabeth and mouthwatering vaca frita and the seafood stew. I definitely recommend it even if you are not into Cuban cuisine.

Superb restaurant, very good Cuban cuisine , assured Cuban atmosphere , really it deserves only good reviews , to be redone

I had a great time, the best Cuban food in Miami and the service from Miss Cynthia was magnificent, I recommend this place 100%

Slow service wrong order came out Food was cold for all 4 orders service was slow and rude to correct the order will not be back
