Havana Vieja | Latin Restaurant Miami Beach

Pedro was our sever. He was polite, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to have serve us. While I would say this a bit of a touristy place, the food is actually extremely good. Very good authentic Cuban. The Lechon and the pulpo are amazing. Give this spot a try. Would definitely come back.

Havana Vieja on a Monday at 3 p.m. was quiet in the best way. Paula, our very friendly server, welcomed us and let us choose any table. We ordered ropa vieja tacos, empanadas, a corn tamal, a kiwi mojito, and tres leches. The clear standout was the ropa vieja tacos—packed with flavor and honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. I immediately regretted not ordering the full ropa vieja dish. The empanadas were very good, just overshadowed by the tacos. Tres leches followed as the next favorite. The tamal was good, just not the highlight. The restaurant has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and being in South Beach makes it easy to find. My hotel gave me a 15% discount card, and while there’s a 20% service fee, Paula’s great service made it feel well worth it. On the pricier end for a

Best empanadas I’ve ever had in my life and I’ve eaten them in many countries.. Augusto is a great server, being both friendly and attentive. I had the empanadas (1 chicken, 1 beef) and the Churrasco Steak meal. Both were absolutely delicious. I also loved the Spicy Pineapple Special Margarita. But I wish it was blended as the photo showed on the menu.

Wanted some delicious fish and after a google search stumbled upon this gem! The service provided by Gise wasEXCELLENT. She was very attentive and went above and beyond! The ambiance and setting was intimate and the food was very delicious! Highly recommend the red snapper! P.S. the super coconut margarita did not disappoint!

Highly recommend the Ropa Vieja (so flavorful) and the Flan (thick and creamy with whipped cream). August was the best server! Upbeat, attentive and accommodating. The food came out fast and was delicious. You can’t go wrong!
