La Cumbancha

7 Restaurants Where Your Parents Can Dance

"Here are actual scenes from our last dinner at La Cumbancha: a spontaneous conga line forms out of nowhere, sucking our staff writer into its gravitational pull like a vacuum cleaner. A toddler stands next to the live band with a toy guitar (no idea where he got it from) and pretends to play with the band as a squadron of tías root him on. Dinner at this Miami Lakes Cuban spot feels like a family reunion even if you're related to no one inside. This makes sense since it shares ownership with Cafe La Trova. The food is fine, but the cocktails are tremendous and the house band is excellent. There’s not much of a dance floor, but, as our writer learned, the entire restaurant can easily become one at a moment’s notice. " - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
