Great place to have GREAT Cuban Food. We were seated outside with a beautiful view of the ocean. Highly recommended.
Wonderful service, amazing food. This is my wife and I’s favorite place to eat for lunch together. Clean, safe area and all the workers are very nice! Thank you for the nice experience
The Cuban sandwich seems simple. Maybe thats why so many restaurants add it to their menu. However, without great bread, perfectly prepared pork (lechón) and organized ingredients pressed perfectly in a sandwich press, so many people miss.THIS PLACE DOES IT PERFECTLY!A Cuban sandwich in Miami, made RIGHT. All of the tastes and textures hit you at once, and it forces a smile on your face. DELICIOUS!The mariquitas were good, the mojito was on point and of course, the cafecito is a necessity and was delicious.HINT: Please note that an 18% gratuity is already added to your check. When we went to sign our receipt, we noted that it said additional tip and verified.
Good restaurant with interesting food choices. Service was good.
Horrible service. Online reads 7 am, come to restaurant and rudely told opens at 8:30. Return at 8:30 and ignored for half hour. No one understands English. You order and they yes you to death and the order comes out wrong 2 and maybe 3 times. Finally ended up cancelling the runny egg breakfast that I advised 2 times were over hard/well. The service is horrible. Much better places to go to in the area where you are treated as with respect and not scorned for asking them to take the food back and cook as ordered twice. Owner is Raul in case you have the same bad experience.
I had a pretty good experience here. The food was delicious, but took over 45 minutes to come out. We had to flag down the waiter several times to get his attention because he hadnt brought us the water we had asked for in the beginning. He also took forever to return to the table to bring the check. We went to the restaurant around 5pm on a Wednesday afternoon so it was not too busy to say that it was peak restaurant time. I give the restaurant 4 stars because of the food. The service could have definitely been better though!
This is a chain of restaurants. The food is decent for the price but the lack hygiene during this time. The staff is friendly.
All good except the windows are better tinted down a bit, the sun reflection really hurts our eyes, our group of 5 all agreed on that; hope their management can see this review and pledge, really.
Bait and switch with a smile. We were greeted with a warm smile which quickly disappeared once we were seated. We were then given lackluster service. More importantly the food was simply not good. The price is far too high for such poor service and low quality food. I even ordered the special. One would assume that something they specialize in would be at least somewhat decent... One would be mistaken. I added the second star to be generous because my Long Island Iced Tea wasnt terrible.
Just ok. A lil salty for my taste. Very friendly service.
My only food joint choice. lovely music and best overall meals
Our waiter was super nice and helpful,we had to sit on another place that only served drinks because there was no more tables at the latin american section but they said it was fine and brought us menus so we ended up ordering drinks from the place we where sitting at and food from latin american so it was great, the food was really good and the drinks too.
I celebrated my PhD yesterday in this excellent restaurant. I am glad to say that we passed a pleasant evening and the venue was absolutely one of the reasons for the successful evening. The crew cooperated in a splendid way, the cooking was extremely good and my friends were extremely pleased. We shall definitely visit again for more celebrations. Thank you very much.
I admire this place! They give high quality food, their menu is nice, The chief cook in that place is well trained, I love very much eating all their dishes. The food is consistently fresh and tasty, the attitude towards the customers is agreeable. I go often to this restaurant and I not even once was unsatisfied. Highly recommended.
Nice venue, average food.
Very good food and service
In Florida, or anywhere in the United States, it is almost impossible to find Real Cuban food.In this place you will find the original taste. The food was delicious! I would definitely recommend it.
Great place for a tasty food.Meals do get you full and probably leave you with leftovers. The staff are friendly and tentative.The food was very good and affordable. Went there twice in a four day trip.
Food and service were good. View was very nice. Great place to people watch and we were not rushed to pay bill after our dinner.I only wish I could have had 15 minutes with whomever made our Mojitos... They could use some work.
I certainly loved the food and customer service, excellent area very close to my residence. The employees are always very welcoming. Will come visit again.
Really good food.thank you.
Located inside the Bayside Shopping Mall, the restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. Service was prompt and our server was helpful in deciding on sides, but there were enough employees to have had better attention. Nice views from the outside seats, but one is exposed to the passing crowd if on the inside of the walkway. Very pleased with the food which was well prepared, well presented, and arrived within an acceptable time period. A service charge of ~ 15% was added to the bill although only 2 in the party - check your final tab carefully. 2 people w/o alcohol = $38.
Great sandwiches! Mine was a Cuban. The Miami and steaksandwich were great too from our table. Generous portions. Well done Latin America 😁
Cuban sandwich is the bomb.
I have been here several times. Pretty consistent food. Plenty of waitresses to help you order. Moderately priced selections that wont break the bank. Overall...Nice.
This was a perfect place right after our cruise,it was about 10a.m. and everywhere else was closed and was in the mood for a Cuban sandwich and it hit the spot.. the freshly squeezed orange juice was also great.. definitely gonna come back here...
Great spot for some authentic Cuban food. Excellent and quick service. Recommend the shredded beef with onions.
The chicken sandwich I ordered was tasteless and undercooked. They also charge 18% service fee automatically, probably because of the nice view, but that’s more than what I would have given for the service and the quality of the food here.
The food was excellent. The atmosphere was excellent. The bill was not excellent.. between 10% tip, taxes, and our 18% service charge for a group of 2, our bill was doubled!
Absolutely the worst restaurant I have ever been to. If I could give them 0 stars I would. We ordered Mariquitas (fried plantain) and Calamari. Both came cold and looked like it was microwaved. We had to give the calamari back because they were super dry and the mariquitas had a brown lining on it (which I’ve never seen in my life). The calamari came with old lettuce and the sauce they gave us (which was in a packet) was expired. We also ordered black bean soup and chicken soup but I couldn’t finish because I was so grossed out. The staff in the kitchen seemed like they were goofing off and eating at the same time every time someone opened the door. The hygiene was terrible and the food even worse. I will never be coming back to the Latin America Restaurant at Bayside in Miami, FL.
This place is the perfect blend of affordable and tasty as hell. Waitress was a sweetheart who battled through our broken Spanish to get us what we wanted. Super strong drinks. A great choice and superior to the Havana chains dotting Miami.
Food was good but service was very poor. Place was quiet and were ignored by a dozen employees. They acted overwhelmed by two tables. Need to overhaul the staffing.
The food was pretty good and a very nice view of the ocean and boats. They do have a wide variety of choices as well. I cant say forcing to pay a 18% tip does suck however.
Great coffee, good prices. Best stuffed potatoes Ive had since Mama Diazs. Empanadas are amazing too.
The price is perfect even when they hide the service charge. The food was good and portion size large. The place was full and had to wait for seating which is a good sign. But the service was very slow as some waitress were eating their lunch at the bar…?!
Cuban Sandwich was very bland. Cuban Sampler appetizer platter was awful - meats were extremely dry and seemed to be reheated from a week ago. Do not go - you will be disappointed.
Cuban food at this spot - super good. Got there near five, it wasnt very busy. The place has an awesome atmosphere. They have so many great reviews for a reason.
Wasnt open on a Saturday afternoon...
The food was great, but the service was not as amazing. Our waiter kept forgetting things we ordered. When I ordered my meal, there was some confusion, and I tried to make my self clear; He seemed pretty satisfied after I explained again. When everyone got their food and my meal was missing, he came back to retake my order and I waited for the kitchen to make it. Instead of asking for clarification, he must have ignored it.That being said, my goal isnt to rip into the staff of this restaurant. There was somewhat of a language barrier, and I would have been happy to clarify any questions the waiter would have. I dont speak Spanish but I am half Hispanic, so I understand the waiters difficulty 100%. I had my leftovers for lunch the next day, and I craved them all that morning.long story short: food was amazing, and youll want leftovers, just clarify your order with the waiters before they head to the kitchen.
Must remember! Service charge is 18%.The fried pork was dry.A pitcher of lemonade was 16 usdWaste of money.
I took my whole family of 6 to that Latin American yesterday Jan/02/2020, and we could not use the restroom, they had 2 chair at the door like it was out of service, they told us to go upstairs, even after I told the lady that I was a customer. ( the restroom was working) the service was not that excellent, why you may ask. well once the tip is included in the bill people dont get good service.
The lunch we ordered was house specialty but very roughly cooked! Everthing was black! Black rice, black bean, black banana and black pork meat! Taste so so.
It is located inside the Bayside market place. It is a good place to visit if you want to taste some Latin American cuisines. We tried the Cuban platter and it was really good and also the place is not very expensive. Add to that the general hustle bustle of the market and the live latin music and it makes for a very nice evening.
Great food, no hostess or anything, just grab a seat and hopefully theyll notice you soon enough!
We were in Miami this past weekend and wanted delicious latin good...this is The spot!!! The food is amazing! Its so fresh and authentic....if youre in the area it is a MUST 😍 the prices are very reasonable too!
Went today and the food was not the best. My husband and I would have left it at but they put their own tip on the bill as a serving fee. Ok, we were willing to overlook that too if it wasnt for the fact that THEY SERVED OUR CHILDREN RAW CHICKEN. I really hope this place gets shut down.
We had the Cuban Special sandwich which was so good. The plantain chips accompanying it was the perfect accompaniment. I had the delicious pina colada to drink. My wife had the mojito which was strong. We enjoyed watching the boys come and go in the marina as we ate.
I waa skeptical because it was in the Bayside Market area but the food waa authentic and amazing. The mojitos were excellent as well.
All so oily. Forcing 18% tips. Drink is great.
Good food. Friendly servers.
The service was very good and the the food tasty. The waitress made good recommendations and even suggested to ordering a separate salad as all the meals came with two sides. To drink we took a pitcher of juice which was very refreshing. At the same time very reasonably priced considering its on the bayside.
Before I had went to Latin American Bayside Cafe, I had never eaten Cuban food. It was really good and the service was just as well. The view on the outside seating was great looking onto the Miami Bay.
Great atmosphere to eat with family! We payed $45 for 3 adult meals. Had the best cafe con Leche I have ever tasted... The Cuban sandwich was very tasty and the flavors are excellent... First time here and would recommend this place to everyone!
Short stop before our flight back to Atlanta, probably the best Cuban food Ive ever had. Just tried the Cuban platter which was Pork Tips with Rice and beans, Plantains and Yuca. Pork was phenomenal, plantains were exceptional. Service couldve been a little faster but other than that, with a view of the bay it was an excellent dining experience.
Nice place with very good food and good prices. If you like the latin food you should to go there!
Good Cochran food. First time eating Cuban, so have clothing to compare to.
Excellent!
Yummy food. Pricey. But what do you expect at the airport right?
Two stars as they didnt give us food poisoning but the food wasnt great. Server decided to take it join herself to change my order when they didnt have what I had selected. My companions food was what he ordered but not very good. Service was pretty good, all the servers seemed very attentive but we came to eat and left still hungry as half our food was overcooked and inedible. Dont really recommend. The daquri shop next door was amazing though.
The borda wouldnt ley me eat
Food ok.....waitress unbelievably rude....after we were about (ABOUT, not yet finished) to finish our sandwich, waitress threw menus on the table and stood next to us, waiting.....circling...reaching over our plates to grab a sugar tray to ??? Fill maybe.....it seems that the only things she did not do to make us finish and leave is fart or vomit next to the table...there are plenty of restaurants in the Bayside, choose another! You,and your family, have been warned! Expect and demand better, even though the prices are reasonable for the Bayside.
Great place and the people were friendly. The prices were more affordable compared to what else is around
Great food with music
The food here was amazing! Staff were nice too. Highly recommend the eggs, bacon, and hash browns.
Food and customer service was horrible.. would not recommend
Great views. Great spot, but they take short cuts making Cuban food
Loved loved loved the authentic taste of the food. Freahyl preoared with presentation being EVERYTHING. They have a great staff here and the management team walks the floor to make sure all are satisfied.
