La Mulata Latin Restaurant Miami Beach

We have an absolutely incredible meal at this restaurant! On a Saturday night, we were fortunate to get seated right away. Emily, our waitress, was kind and extremely accommodating! We had the paella and a seafood parillada for two as a family. We had just enough food for the three of us, and everything was prepared to perfection! There's usually terrific music playing and a positive ambiance in everyone. I strongly recommend this eatery!

I recently dined at La mulata, and it was an extraordinary experience! From the moment I walked in, I was transported to the vibrant streets of Havana. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with colorful decor and lively music that perfectly sets the mood.The menu is a treasure trove of Cuban classics, and every dish we tried was simply outstanding. The Ropa Vieja was tender and bursting with flavor. The highlight of the meal was the Vaca Frita, which was succulent and seasoned to perfection.The service was impeccable--friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Our server Flavia made excellent recommendations and ensured that our dining experience was top-notch from start to finish.If you're looking for an authentic Cuban culinary journey, La mulata is the place to be. I can't wait to return and explore more of their delicious offerings

Review #1,500!! And I couldn't think of a more deserving spot than La Mulata! La Mulata is a local, traditional, family owned Cuban spot sitting at the corner of Española Way and Washington Avenue in South Beach. On our first night in Miami, we of course were scoping out Latin/Cuban spots that were within walking distance of our hotel, and La Mulata popped up and became the spot! Yelp certainly did not steer us wrong with this one. La Mulata is a small spot, possibly more seating outdoors than indoors! They have a small bar you can belly up to in addition to a few two and four tops inside. Outside, the sidewalks are set with the same variety of tables but are covered and spaced out with fans to keep those who are brave enough to eat outdoors cool. We opted for an indoor table by the window, so we got the essence of outdoors with the comfort of indoors. To keep in theme, La Mulata has an old Havana style in decor from floor to ceiling. Lots of vibrant colors, artwork and even a clothes line draped with clothes draped from window to window above the tables. To start our experience we tossed an order in for chicken empanadas and a round of mango mojitos. Both were phenomenal, especially the mojito! For dinner we went super traditional with a Cuban sandwich on one side and the ropa vieja on the other. Both dishes were expertly prepared, hot, fresh and delivered to the table within just a few moment. To make a long story short, it was delicious!!As if the food wasn't good enough, the service we received from entry to exit was next level! Lany, our server was beyond friendly and an absolutely pleasure! She was kind, funny, and easily the best waitress we had while in Miami! Overall, we really enjoyed our experience at La Mulata. It certainly made the recommendation list, along with the "must return" list!

What a great little place!We stopped in for breakfast and had a delicious meal!Started off with a cappuccino and it was so good!Ordered guacamole toast and a guava smoothie. All was delicious!Our server was very sweet too!Great ambiance

Yadira took care of us. The food is delicious we had the chefs special meats which it's for 2 but all 3 of us ate. I was surprised when my mom started complimenting the food. The food and the service is very good. 10/10

Located on the corner of Washington and Española Way you'll find La Mulata Cuban. The dishes are authentic and flavorful! Dining options are indoor or street side patio seating under a covered lighted umbrella. The only unfavorable table happens to be the table we chose...it's right next to cross walk post with continuous "beeping". Dayliñ was our lovely server! Her service was prompt and they are happy to have you dine here. We tried a few things. Salmon Tartare, Churrasco Steak, Grilled Salmon, plantains & flan! Plantain chips come with the water service. The rice and black beans are fantastic! The flan is amazing! The salmon was grilled to perfection with a nice crisp to the sear and everything else was very good.

Arrived at La Mulata and were immediately greeted by an extremely friendly host. He gave us a pick of seating and introduced us to an equally nice waiter. The interior of the restaurant is very festive with Latin music playing. We shared a plate of beef and cheese croquettes to start and they were delicious. We then ordered 2 plates to share- paella and half a roasted chicken in a savory sauce with rice and beans. Both were fantastic and we left nothing on the plates. There are only 3 items on the dessert menu and we had the flan and tres leches- both were phenomenal but the flan was exceptional. A very good dining experience

This review is just for the dessert, but know this spot has the best flan on Espanola Way! My friend had never tried flan before and wanted to get flan and tres leches while we were in Miami. We found this spot on Yelp. I'm so happy we did too! It was a cold night, so we were really happy with the heated outdoor seating. The space smelled delicious and the bowls of paella we passed looked and smelled incredible. The service was a bit strange, but we were happy to be given the time to sit longer and talk with each other. The tres leches was pretty good, but I've had better. I haven't had a flan that good in a long time. I loved the presentation of both desserts. I highly recommend stopping here for a flan.

We had the chef's special with so many yummy varieties of meat and sides galore. It was phenomenal!! Valentina was our server and she was incredibly attentive and an absolute sweetheart. She made a delicious meal an unforgettable experience!!-Nic & Mark
