Valentina was a phenomenal server! She's very attentive to your needs and extremely knowledgeable about the menu items. I don't normally eat much, and she came by thinking that I was displeased, which I most certainly was not! But I really appreciate that she was looking out for our table. Pictured is a very delicious half chicken that was roasted in a Josper BBQ, which is the hottest indoor BBQ that you can have. It had a very smoky flavor and was seasoned perfectly! Another entree was the Tasajo over Tamal en Cazuela, which was a very tender short rib that was salt cured for two days and then smoked for 4 hours. We had the Maduro Tentacion as an appetizer, which is a sweet plantain that was also roasted in the Josper grill and stuffed with bacon, jam, and mozzarella. Definitely recommend it as a starter! And finally, the flan con queso as dessert. It was a nice, firm cheesecake with the right amount of sweetness! Not pictured, we did enjoy a Cuba Libre cocktail and a red sangria as well! Overall, 15/10 would recommend making your way over & enjoying an evening out there!

It was fine, paid parking. It was good we didn’t have to struggle to find parking on the street, they have a parking garage underneath.
Wheelchair accessibility
I didn’t see any elevators. Although we weren’t really looking for them because my boyfriend on crutches could take the escalator. I will say they were very accommodating considering he was in crutches and put us in a table better suited to his needs.

PERFECT place! There was not a single position we ordered that we didn’t like. Really want to give a shoutout to our waitress Maria, who was just extreme nice and helpful. My husband got Tasajo Over Tamal En Cazuela, and that was an A+ dish! Meat is soft enough, flavors are pretty good an unique. I got Salmon Bowl which was also pretty nice, fresh and delicious, perfect for the lunch on a hot day. For the appetisers we started with Tostones Rellenos Ropa Vieja, and oh my god it was good, crunchy, juicy with great meat inside. We were physically not able to make it to the desert, but I can only imagine how great it would be. 5 stars for everything, great place.

Everything was a 10! We were walking in the mail & got hungry so we arrived honestly when they had just closed. After the host told us they were close, the manager Alejandro came out as we were walking away and asked the kitchen to accommodate us & one more other family. That was an immensely kind gesture and I thanked him multiple times cause I was starving. The apps, drinks, and entrees all came out so quick and tasted amazing. We ended up spending almost $350 for this accommodation but it was well worth it.

Nothing bad to say here. Jhoanna S took excellent care of us the entire meal. I had the 1/2 roasted chicken, which tasted brilliant. Not much vegetables but a very juicy chicken. Our girl had some chicken and rice from the kids menu and was happy. The drinks were great, and the vibe in the room was very nice. Due to a misunderstanding we didn't get to tip the nice waiter and feel really bad for that as she was great. Sorry Jhoanna you were excellent.

The place is very nice on a prime location, service was ok, not the greatest, food was good except for my order. I asked for a medium rib eye and they served it on a hot lava stone that keeps cooking it, by the time i found the waitress and ask for a second plate, the steak was already well done, i was very upset and it wasnt cheap.

Valentina was our server and she was amazing. It was my friend’s birthday and she made it special. The salmon tartare and short rib app were amazing. The presentation of all that came out was impressive. If you like goat cheese the flan is fantastic. Half a chicken and the palomilla steak were made perfectly. Definitely recommend this incredible restaurant.

A very enjoyable holiday weekend meal seated as a solo at the bar. Delicious refreshing red sangria paired with a tasty Cuban sandwich and dessert flan. Friendly service that tended to be unattentive due to handling bar prep duties. I easily recommend this location, which is inside a busy shopping mall. I would return on a future visit.

Cuban Sandwich

Had a quick lunch at Marabu in Miami and was pleasantly surprised! The Short Ribs were tender and flavorful, while the Cuban sandwich hit the spot. Nothing better than a Cuban coffee to kick-start this old machine. Shoutout to Wendy for being such an amazing host. Will be back for sure!

Went to celebrate my birthday! The vaca frita was incredible! It is my favorite dish and this restaurant definitely makes it the best! The Ropa Vieja Empanadas are a must for appetizer and the Marabú Mojito was delicious. Our waitress Valentina was so lovely and she made a lasting customer connection.

Service a little slow, but it seemed like Marcia had a lot of tables. She was very nice & accommodating. Food was good but if you like spicy food, it may taste bland. I recommend the ropa veija both the dish and the empanada form...so good! The restaurant is so gorgeous on the inside. 18% gratuity is automatically added to your bill. More

The atmosphere in here was absolutely incredible, and so was the food. Although there were many options to chose from, I decided to order a BBQ Cuban Burger which ended up being very tasty even though I’m not a big fan of BBQ. Wendy provided me with an excellent service during my time there. 10/10, will definitely come back. More

Maria was great! She made awesome drinks and was very friendly. We were killing time before a flight and she made the time spent worthwhile. We’ll be back!

Marcia was our server and she was fantastic! We got the octopus, boniato al carbon, Cuban sandwich and the traditional Cuban bowl. Octopus was by far our favourite dish of the night, wish it came in a larger portion! The boniato was fine -

Everything was great from the decor, food and our server was wonderful…it was very crowded and hard to get our waters refilled. Our server probably had too many tables but she was super nice. I would definitely go back. More
