10Best Says

Situated all over Miami (with locations in Kendall, Little Havana,Hialeah, Doral, Miami International Airport, plus several others in Broward), this Cuban restaurant's versatile cuisine and convivial atmosphere keep patrons coming back for more. A hearty breakfast can be obtained at basically any time of day or night, and while lunch and dinner are also quite good, we highly suggest their breakfast, where you can easily obtain large portions of steak, eggs, Cuban toast and hash browns, complemented by organic, freshly squeezed orange juice and bold Cuban coffee. For lunch, try the Pan con Bistec and finish it off with their creme brulee.
