La Esquina De La Fama

Went here as part of a tour. It was early and I had breakfast just a few hours prior. I wasn't too hungry, so my wife and I ordered one Cuban sandwich and asked for two plates. We both loved the sandwich. The ambiance was good and the staff very helpful and attentive.

This place looked like traditional Cuban food so we decided to give it a try. I got the Cuban Sandwich: Dry, flavorless, pork not trimmed well, not recommended. Wife got the Lemon Honey Chicken: Didn't come out with any sauce, just plain bits of fried chicken pieces, bland, dry. Asked for some sauce and the server brought out a very small bowl of the sauce that should have been on it, but not enough to cover everything. Daughter had the shredded chicken: Juicy, but bland. Service was bad. Never refilled waters or asked if we wanted another drink. Had to flag down the server even though we sat right next to the server station and she walked past us around a dozen times. When we finally got the bill it had two 18% service charges added. I finally flagged her down again and asked her about them and she said it was normal and was on the menu. I asked why two and she said it was normal. I said I understand in Florida you can add one for service, but not the other. She finally agreed to remove the second charge and apologized, but it really seemed like it was intentional and maybe a scam they do to tourists. I really hate the fact that they add an 18% charge automatically, because there is no incentive for them to give good service for a tip. They know we were tourists and will likely not be back so they don't care. Skip this place and go somewhere else.

We stopped here for a drink while attending the Calle 8 Carnaval. The place looked small but climate controlled.There was a sign outside saying Corona beer for $4.I thought that was a good deal...but since I am not a Corona drinker, we decided to get a Modelo beer instead. I did not ask how much it was, so it was my fault that we ended up paying almost $20 for two beers. The menu price was $7, but after they add "service charge" and taxes, they were almost $20.There are two rooms, one in the front by the main door and the bar and one in the back where an old stage is located. Some people next to us got some food and it looked good, but looking at the menu prices, this place is not cheap.

Went here april 12, 2024 around 11am. My partner and i sat at the bar after talking to a man who greeted us after we stood at the door for a long time! We were completely ignored at the bar! No waitress or bartender ever came over. We left after about 10 minutes. I really wanted a mojito & some guacamole or salsa and chips! But we didn't get to try anything because the staff wasn't on top of things! Terrible

The tour guide recommended this restaurant for good home cooking.This was definitely a tourist spot. The restaurant was extremely crowded. Some of the wait staff did not speak English and my Spanish is below average.The presentation of the food was good but kind of dry. Not sure if that was a norm. I asked for any type of sauce for my food and finally they brought out a garlic sauce which was very helpful.The presentation of the drinks were awesome. They had a lot of flair to the drinks. We only had 45min to eat so I couldn't sample a lot of stuff. I was pleased with my tostones with chicken, beef empanadas and Cuban sandwich.This is not a bad spot in a little Havana.There is a small restroom in the back and it can be a line to use it.Also the restaurant added 22% gratuities to your check so you don't have to worry about tipping unless you would like to give more.

Excellent food, almost a week later and I am still thinking about the steak& onions and the rice&beans. I would pay to fly back to miami just to eat here! I would have tried their cool unique looking mojitos but club e11even the night before was enough alcohol for a hot minute. Staff is great. Love this place so much, you're forever in my thoughts.

They really do have the best mojitos! Great customer service and great live music. They have great food as well.

Service was great. Atmosphere was good. Food was not great but was good. Lounge singer in the dining room was hilarious.

me encantó la comida , la atención es excelente. recomendado al 100 x 100

This place is authentic Cuban food. It was absolutely amazing as I had the Cuban sandwich and it was on point. The Cuban coffee is just as expected all and all a great place to eat. The wife and I split the sandwich it was huge.
