★★★☆☆ 3.0 Kris T · Jan 2026

It's a place with great atmosphere and vibe. The staff were friendly and polite and Mabel made us feel great. The oyster shot was great. The house salad was just very dry, with a few cherry tomatoes. The steak sandwich was a little thin with dry bread and a bit of souse and onions. Very basic like taste and experience. A bit surprised by the very high rating of the place, but our experience was more on the average side.

Alfredo, the entertainer was very friendly and created a fantastic atmosphere dancing in stage and welcoming us in. I ordered tge chicken soup as a snack and it was amazing. Full of flavours and bits. The Cocktails taste twice as nice at half the price at happy hour on a Friday. Great atmosphere, we stayed linger then expected. The live singer and band great too. Love it here

While visiting Miami, we wanted to try some authentic Cuban food so we ventured out to Little Havana and found this spot. Alexis was our server and was amazing!! I asked for recommendations and his picks were delicious ‼️We tried a couple appetizers (the empanadas were superb), our main course and several mojitos. The flavors of each dish were bold and complimented each other perfectly. The live music and dancing completely transformed the meal into an experience. Very impressed with the food, service, atmosphere and entertainment.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience, and Alfredo and Mabel truly made it unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly, and their hospitality immediately set the tone for a memorable visit. They were not only welcoming but also infused the space with a genuine Cuban charm that made the atmosphere feel vibrant, inviting, and completely authentic. It’s rare to encounter hosts who make you feel so genuinely at home, and Alfredo and Mabel did this effortlessly. The atmosphere of the restaurant was delightful—cozy yet lively, with a touch of Cuban flair that felt both festive and comfortable. You could tell that every detail was thoughtfully considered, from the decor to the music to the overall vibe. It created the perfect setting for a relaxed meal with friends or f

★★★★★ 5.0 Maria M. Mendez · Feb 2026

This is our first time coming to Sala’o, we decided to come for dinner and drinks. Sala’o food and staff is amazing. The atmosphere is lovely and we happened to be there with a band playing every 30 minutes. The food is amazing, and the Cuban flavors and spices add an Incredible taste to the food. From their tostones rellenos, vaca frita and don’t forget their famous dessert, el Fanguito. Alexis, our waiter, was so attentive, great smile and he makes you feel at home. I would definitely come and try this little piece of Cuba on Calle 8.
