La Cañita - Kendall

This is my favorite date spot to go with my wife. No other Cuban restaurant I’ve been too in over a decade captures the spirit of the culture like La Cañita does (put some respect on that ñ 🤓) . The food, superb offerings with a modern twist to some dishes but if you want something more traditional, they got you. Happy hour menu is outstanding , my only recommendation to the spot is to add some healthier options , most of the happy hour menu is fried. The service; upscale , professional, you don’t find service and personality like these folks even at Capital Grille. Our bartender got up and sang which was awesome ! Now… the atmosphere … the live music is soooooo authentic and just makes the entire experience perfection . You’re gonna pay a little more than most Cuban spots but it’s more th

I went for the second time because my first experience was not bad at all. Unfortunately, I can't say the same this time. I decided to order a couple of strawberry martinis, which were not all that good, but drinkable. Once I received my check/tab, I noticed that I was charged an extra $2.00, for the Martini mix and an extra $2.00, for the tiny piece of strawberry 🍓, on the glass. "Totally Rediculous." When I asked the young lady serving us about it, she responded: The Martini mix is extra and the Strawberry 🍓, is also charged extra for the flavor. She volunteered to call the manager for me. So, I decided to pay the extra charge and will not be returning, due to such a Rediculous act. BTW, I do have to say, the band plays excellent.

Was there Saturday 2-28 a party of four and had a great time like every time we have been here, the food, the music, the atmosphere and the service was excellent, especially our waitress Juliette did an excellent service. She was very attentive and sweet and explained all the different plates and was very patient and polite. I highly recommend this restaurant and we will come back soon

La Canita has been on my list of restaurants to try, given its connection to Michelle Bernstein and I really wanted to like it as I have never been disappointed by her before. But there is a first time for everything, as I was disappointed in several ways. We had the fish ceviche, which was excellent, especially given that this wasn’t a Peruvian or Seafood restaurant. The fish was firm and fresh and the leche de tigre sauce was perfect. The Lechon Asado was a huge disappointment, and maybe the worst that I have ever had. Instead of moros, it was served with boiled yuca, with no substitutions. The pork was soggy and tasteless and lacked seasoning. The mojo de ajo was maybe watered down by the water from the boiled yuca. The only good thing in the dish was the chicharones, that was excellent

We had such a great experience at La Cañita, and a big part of that was because of our waiter, Juliette. I have dietary restrictions, and she was truly outstanding—very thorough, informative, and attentive. She made sure my food was prepared safely and that nothing was cross-contaminated, which gave me so much peace of mind. The atmosphere at La Cañita was also incredible—great music, a fun vibe, and an overall amazing energy. Plus, their happy hour from 5–8 PM was such a nice bonus! Thank you so much, Juliette, for taking such great care of us. We’ll definitely be back!
