Reviews for Havana Vieja | Cuban Restaurant in Miami Beach in Miami Beach, FL

We were down in Miami for my wife’s birthday, came across this treasure via Yelp. It was by far one of our favorite... restaurants we visited while we were down there. Our server Pedro was absolutely fascinating and very hospitable. He checked onus throughout our dining experience and there was never a time we needed anything due to his attentiveness. The coconutMojito’s are a must try in addition to the octopus and empanadas! If you’re in the south beach area do yourself a favor andstop by, ask for Pedro, you will not be disappointed. Read more

Great service, great ambiance, and the food was inspiring. Claudia my waitress was accommodating and took great care during my... stay. I had the snapper and old fashioned mojito. The drink was delicious with the sugar cane to finish the drink and thesnapper was cooked to perfection! Do yourself a favor and stop in, you won’t regret! Read more

Had a solid meal here with friends. Sat by the bar - be aware there is only one bathroom to my knowledge that is shared with the... hotel attached it seems, can be a little limiting. The paella was good but a bit overpriced at $36. Cubano was excellent as wasthe guacamole appetizer. Also had the Hemingway cocktail which was light and refreshing but not something I would order again,tried it out. Staff was pleasant and friendly. Read more

A lovely morning Miami experience. Delicious Cuban coffee and Cuban sandwich (enough for two meals). Javier was friendly and... accommodating— refreshing compared to the usual Miami service. I felt taken care of and happy! Fun music and atmosphere.Decorative and breezy. Recommended :) especially if staying at the Chelsea hotel behind the cafe Read more

Fantastic meal and drinks, all priced very nice. The classic mojito and margarita hit the spot. We ordered everything that... Agustin \"El mejor\" recommended and it was all delicious. We had pork, beef, and chicken. Great atmosphere and great service. Read more

I ordered the Paella…. Filled with peppers I felt like I was eating rice with peppers. Change the recipe…. It was watery and... the rice was not cooked well. The fried steak churrasco was good but nothing amazing. we got to the restaurant there were manyopen tables but our seating attendant put us by the entrance. I didn’t feel welcomed and should have left except my friendwanted to have Cuban. People don’t only pay for food but ambiance… lower the prices if you are going to sit by the entrance.We spent 139$ which is not much but to put someone by the entrance is wrong. We came on a Sunday so instead of asking us forreservations when clearly you have open tables is ridiculous. The waiter was nice and honestly the only good part…. Realpeople are better than fake people Read more

This place was amazing. We loved the guacamole with the use of plantain chips instead of tortilla chips. The drinks were tasty,... strong, and well crafted. Our waitress Julianna was the best!!\n\nCheck our reviews at #T_vfooduniverse on Instagram. Read more

Great food! We love Cuban food and we’re no experts on Cuban food but this location tasted pretty authentic. The restaurant... itself looked very cool, tropical but also homey. The food is really filling and you really get full from the amount of food youeat here. Seasoning on all the food is great and a nice mix of everything! One of our favorite spots to go for Cuban food inMiami Beach! Read more
