“ Very delicious. Came here after finding it on Google while visiting Miami. Amazing service, quick food, 10/10 food. I got the oxtail with sweet plantains and rice. My friend got the red snapper. We both had a great experience. Highly recommend ”
“ Authentic, flavorful Cuban food in a cozy, homestyle setting. The Ropa Vieja and Cubano sandwich are standouts, and the Tres Leches cake is a must-try. Friendly service and generous portions make it feel like you’re eating at Abuela’s. Way better than the touristy spots—this place is a true hidden gem. ”
“ Happened to be passing, and hungry so gave it a try. Going to be going back. Place is clean, service was fast and efficient. Food turned up quickly, staff attentive. And the food quality top notch. Started with a red bean soup. Perfectly seasoned. The croquettes had some dipping sauce I've not had before that took them to another level. Had the pan con bistec with fries. Must have been fresh oil too, the fries were very light and tasty. Cafe con leche was a bit too dark for my taste but they brought over a frothy milk to add to it. All perfection. End up picking wife up from nearby and taking her there. I'd only been gone 10 minutes before they saw me again, and wifey loved all her food too. She also had the red bean soup and chicken vaca frita I think it was. Only slight issue was going back again, heard the same musak again on loop, poor staff. Great place, will be back ”
“ I LOVE La Casita. I’ve stopped by two years in a row during my trips to Miami. The food is perfection and the service is wonderful. Their vacation frita is the best I’ve ever had and everything from appetizers to dessert is truly amazing. Their flan is also a must have! This restaurant is clean and the servers are so kind and attentive! ”
“ Last bite in Miami before the flight home, came here for lunch. The parking lot was limited for parking but the restaurant was very clean, bright and comfortable. The food was delicious! The service was friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend a stop if in the area. ”
