Chez Le Bebe

Stopped by here on my way back to Tampa. The griot was honestly the best thing I had. The legume was not what I expected, but it was good. Service was ok and our food came out promptly. The rice and peas was ok as well. The bathroom was not the best and had no soap to wash hands. Overall I would return for the griot. It was crispy, juicy and well seasoned. Serving size was also fantastic. One plate could feed you for a few days. With some minor changes, this place would be top tier.

One of the best haitian foods I've ever tried, gotta try it for yourself. Spent under $15 for this plate that filled me up. As a bonus the food is fresh, so it's worth the wait. Local or visitor looking for haitian food that's affordable, check this place out.

Ambiance: There is none, located in the heart of little Haitia in Miami. This place is mostly for pick up. You could eat there but there is no air conditioning so on a hot summer day it becomes hard to sit and eat there. You order and wait (no table service). Food: Fried Chicken: comes with kidney beans rice, salad (lettuce, tomatoes, and carrot), fried eggplant, coslaw, and this red sauce. The chicken was somewhat dry. There was no seasoning. The salad had no dressing and the coslaw was drenched in vinegar. It's a good thing that they gave the red sauce because without it, it would be really hard to eat. Fried Goat: (same as above) but this was actually seasoned well and tasted good. The meat was tender. Service: we waiting a considerable long time to get our food. Overall, this is a place you go just for food but know what to order.

The food is not worth the money there was a lot oil in the sauce turkey instead of giving meat they put a bunch of bones I’ll show pictures

We went all the way from Miami South Beach for lunch to Chez Le Bebe and it was WORTH it!! My first time to try Haïtian food! We had ONE fried chicken and shared with my friend - it was a big portion for only 7 $. The side dish of brown bean rice (riz grains) was delicious - I will search the recipe and try it at home. The restaurant was packed with people after, apparently, their Sunday mass (beautifully dressed) mainly to take away. Delicious food, good vibes, nice experience.

Chez le bebe... Authentic Haitian food in miami, i ordered the fried chicken with rice and beans, kept it simple and it was surprisngly amazing. The chicken cooked perfectly and juicy and the skin was crisp. The rice and beans were incredible gotta admit it might be my favourite new side dish. The people who work there are about as chill as all haitian i've met, they don't stress. If you swing by little haiti you gotta stop there it's great. FYI it is cash only and they start serving pork/beef/chicken after 12:30

This place is a hole in the wall but the food is wonderful.

Good food, got the oxtail 2 days in a row

The food here is quite delicious. It's a takeout spot even though there are a sufficient tables and chairs to dine in. We ordered the Griot complete and the fried chicken. The portions are PLENTIFUL--enough for 2 to share or one person to eat off 2 or 3 times. The chicken is not breaded/floured but indeed fried and tasty. I liked the cabbage salad/slaw which is vinegary/peppery, but not too spicy, and a small portion--I wanted more of that! We also got a fried plantain and lettuce side with our meal. If you don't speak kreyol--no worries. CASH ONLY.

Stopped by Chez Le Bebe soon as lunch started and ordered a griot konplé which means griot complete. Griot is pieces of pork shoulder that is marinated, cooked, and then fried. Griot simp is just the fried pork and fried smashed plantains, where as the griot complete(konplé) comes with a mound of rice. Getting back to the review the food was great. The griot was fried to perfection, it wasn't too soft or hard and it was filled with flavor. The diri kole(haitian rice and beans) was awesome, it was cook just right, not gummy or hard, but filled with flavor. The bannann peze was super fresh, lightly salted and hot. All in all the food was great, my only complaint is that I sat in to eat my food and the restaurant was hot. Those ceiling fans got to go. Time for some central AC.

I am completely baffled how this place has such low reviews when the food tastes like someone's Haitian grandmother cooked it for you with all the love on the planet. If you've ever had proper Haitian (Caribbean) food you'd know this place is a hidden gem. It is ALL and ONLY about the food as the place itself is not where you'd take a date you'd like to impress however, let's just concentrate on the food. I have been ordering from this place for Many years and I have yet to have a bad dish not to mention that amount of food served can easily feed 3 Regardless of wether you live near or are just in the area or simply passing through I highly Encourage you to check this place out. I promise you will not be disappointed!!! My faves and generally what I always order are the following dishes - The GRIOT (unctuously seasoned fried pork) is a signature dish and is the best in town! - The OX tail is extremely tender and Ohhhh Soooo Tasteful! Each dish comes with deeeeelicious Haitian Rice and Beans and greens Plantains though you can request sweet plantains if you prefer. If you like spicy food (which I suggest trying) make sure to ask for the "pikliz" (pickled cabbage and carrots made with spicy Scotch bonnet peppers) Guys PLEASE DO YOURSELVES A FAVOR A CHECK THIS PLACE OUT! You won't be sorry you did! Oh Yeah - They ONLY accept CASH

Delicious Haitian cuisine One of the best Haitian food in north miami. It will make you enjoy another side of haiti! The best is the griot.

Hands down THE BEST restaurant oxtail I've ever had! They were tender, flavorful and the spice level was perfect. Upon entering the restaurant there were already 3 people ahead of me. Soon after 4 others joined the line and I see why. Parking is limited however I was able to get a spot right in front of the building. The rice was dry but the oxtail and plantains outshined it. 10/10. I definitely recommend.

The best Haitian food in Miami. I've been going here since 2014 and they only get better. Look up the menu before to know what you want because the lines are long. Also bring Cash

Horrible experience with the food purchase. Definitely not what I was expecting, considering a Haitian restaurant in MIAMI, FL

Sak passe! Good food. Fast service. Reasonable prices. Cash only, so be prepared. Side options are extremely limited, but I respect the realness. I would describe as a divey (cheaper) chef creole. 2 botanicas across the street so you know its real. First time so I stuck to the classics and had the grio (fried pork). Not overcooked or to dry with a good ratio of meat to skin and fat, and seasoned suprisingly well - mild, not too heavy. Personally I like it with more spice #hotboysummer. Sauce and picklez on the side (not pictured). Sauce (grio broth based) and picklez (fresh pickled spicy cole slaw mix) came in clutch since spice level wasn't as high as I prefer. 11/10 would reccomend.

Chez Le Bebe = authentic Haitian food in the heart of Little Haiti. First off, let me preface by saying I LOVE Haitian food. I've been jumping around little Haiti looking for a good spot and for a while I was stuck on Chef Creole, however the lines there are so long and the wait time can be up to 30 minutes at times. If you're looking for a fancy spot with excellent customer service.. ehhhh.. this might not be the spot for you, but if you're looking for really great food at a low price without the wait, step on in! The sign in the front is barely legible so pay close attention when you're trying to find the place! There are many tables to sit and eat at but you have to order at the register first and then pick up your food. I ordered the Griot with rice and peas and tostones. The food was ready in 5 minutes! When I got home I was delighted to open the container and find a whole heap of griot! For $10 this was such an excellent deal. The Griot was an excellent mix of fatty and crispy pieces. The rice and peas were cooked perfectly. Not too dry and not too mushy. The flavors were excellent. I would definitely say the Griot here is better than Chef Creole. They also give a huge amount of food and don't skimp on the pikliz. Yay for great food!!

Sometimes the wait is a bit long but the food is always worth it. I haven't tried anything other than the griot so I guess I can attest that it's good. Crispy but still moist. I love the fatty pieces as well. The plantain and rice is also delicious.

Bring Ca$h! Bring patience! If you think for one minute you are going to place your order and have it come out quick, save yourself and go to a drive-thru! The food here is prepared and cooked! I loved eating an authentic Haitian meal. All the locals were eating here and that's when I knew I found a gem! After being in South Beach for a few days, I was beginning to feel like eating a home cooked meal. Besides almost going bankrupt in SB, I'm glad this place has meals under $10! To get all this food for under $10 is amazing! So why not 5 stars? ... You lost a star for brining back flashbacks of when I lived in the Caribbean. Giving back the wrong change, obviously having it work in your favor is not a good look. My friend was over charged and I was short changed. COUNT your money!

Baby Miami doesn't owe me a thing!!! The best Haitian food I have EVER had in my entire life EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING was amazing, I got on the plane crazing this food. The food is authentic flavorful and cooked with plenty of love. The staff was decent and show good customer service, the place is small but the food is worth the trip. When I get back to Miami Florida, I will be back for some delicious food.

Great food! I've been coming here for years. The food is consistently good and always fresh. The only thing I don't like is that they're not always friendly and It's hard to order sometimes if you don't speak creole. I suggest learning some words to communicate what you want.

The food in this Haitian restaurant is very good but the ambiance leaves a lot to be desired. The oxtail is really really good. The id parking in the back although because of the neighborhood I prefer to park in the front on the street. The service can be a little slow only because they are filling so many orders for take out.

Food was absolutely delicious. I have southern roots so I like to describe it as Haitian soul food. Everything was so full of flavor and properly prepared. This was some of the best food I've had in Miami, if not the best. We ordered the stewed goat, steamed fish, stewed chicken & legumes. All fire.

First time in Little Haiti, and this place was deserted. Covid did it. Wanted to go to the welcoming center too, but nothing to really see. I stopped here for oxtail peas and rice. Bought a plate. Had plantains, and salad for a side, with the rice and meat. The gravy was outstanding, and as well as the rice and peas. Plantains was dry, and I was looking for cabbage instead of a salad, but this is Haitian cooking. Although mostly derived from Africa too. Had better at a Jamaican restaurant, you can really tell the difference.

I thought I discovered a local hidden gem, but I was thoroughly disappointed. I'm half Caribbean so I get cravings for some good island flavors from time to time. I also love supporting local businesses which is why I wanted this to be my go-to griot fix. This place is off the beaten path of a more popular Haitian spot and had some positive reviews so I figured I give it the benefit of the doubt. I will not be coming back. The first problem is that they don't accept credit cards, even though this Yelp listing says that they do! Maybe it's the young-timer in me, but cash is a thing of the past and if you are a cash-only establishment, you are missing out on a generation of foodies that want to embrace Haitian cuisine. They have no signs stating such and I only found out when it was time to pay. I had to walk to Walgreens down the block to use the ATM and the neighborhood is not exactly the safest. Secondly, the food was average... in the sense that it tasted like home cooking. Perhaps that's the desired flavor profile for some, but when I dine out, I want food that I can't cook myself. Bannann was dry, oxtail was just ok, but I'll add a star for the griot which was tasty and moist. Overall, the experience was almost too authentic for my liking... hot ambiance, disorganized, rudimentary, and bland.

This spot has fairly good food but terrible customer service, I literally just walked in here and when I got their attention to order, the lady rolled her eyes, this could be better with better staff

I only had the oxtail dish and fried pork which both came out good. Anything else here is not so great. They are not friendly at all. You will get a stare upon reaching the register like you are not worth of their business. You can be in front of them and wouldn't even say a word if you want to order or need help. Came here to experience authentic creole cuisine but left with a not so great experience. Also, since we are the only one in the whole establishment that doesnt speak the language, we noticed how they prioritized other patrons than us that literally we are the only one left that has not been served yet. I was even polite to them that I returned the tray after eating only to get another stare down. I am not a local but I do come back a lot in town and will most likely not to include this establisment for future visit.

Be open to venture into Miami's Little Haiti an area rich in history and culture!! Miami being primarily Latin, surely you've tried various dishes from throughout Latin America. Well this is no different if not better than most!!! Here's where I suggest more of that open mindfulness. You're going to have your order taken from one non-English speaking individual and another who does not have the best attitude in the world. Hey you're not taking them out on a date you're just ordering food so whatever. (No worries) So you order your grub and walk to your seat cause they definitely will not show you the ropes. lol At last !! You're order is ready, How do you know?! They scream out "GRIOT/FRIED PORK". So you walk up and grab your bag that has a container full of tropical goodness. You open the bag and there is Pikliz (Hatian spicy cole slaw), some semi-spicy sauce for the pork and an overfilled container that can't close correctly of how much food is jammed inside it. =) When you get this container out and open it you see the abundance of food you just payed 10 Bucks for. Rice with Beans, Salad, Banan Poise (Smashed Fried Plantains or Tostones). Kudos if you can finish it in one sitting but you might be compelled to after taking the first couple bites. This comfort food is exquisite creole goodness as if you were invited to a Hatian home for a meal. The're some places in this city you will overlook service because the food is so good!! This by far is one of them. (Fair warning, lol)

Authentic Haitian food. I usually call in before I go so I don't have to wait to long on my order

Let me start by saying, one more time, that if my favorite Haitian restaurant wasn't out of business, I would not come here at all. Yes, I am here only for the food. Chez Le Bebe's decrepit interior didn't get the lift they were hoping for when they repainted the place in a dull mustard yellow. It didn't happen, either, when they installed a flat screen TV next to the restrooms, anchoring Headline News as free entertainment. The result is a restaurant that looks messy and unkempt, with a divey feeling that is pernicious on both its customers and its employees. Consider this restaurant to be an strictly take-out place, that is, if you are able to order. If you are wondering why the sarcasm, it is simply because the ladies at the take-out counter are a disservice to Chez Le Bebe, and have been for the past few years. Not only are they unintelligible, they are also nonchalant, moody and sometimes even rude. Ordering food at Chez Le Bebe could be more disastrous than a trip to the DMV or a day at the courthouse. These ladies allow people to skip the line, take orders wrong, leave orders sitting on the counter for five minutes, hold on to your change forever and you're still waiting for your drink. To think that a restaurant only handling eight items on the menu could offer such poor service, with so many mistakes, is unnerving. The only thing these ladies do consistently is upsetting someone every fifteen minutes, regardless of sex, race, creed or nationality. If you think that being Haitian, creole speaking, or a regular will cut you some slack, you are hallucinating or you are nothing more than a hopeless dreamer. These ladies excel at bipolar behavior. They are happy and courteous one moment, bitter and vicious the next. Still, the food is delicious and abundant per serving. If you have ever heard someone say that food is better than sex, it was either someone eating at Chez Le Bebe, or someone ordering testosterone online. Haitian food is about flavor, taste and culture, all palpable in a plate of food from this restaurant. No dish on their menu will leave you unsatisfied. What is the cost? Patience, lots of patience, and some dollars. You will need it to overcome the worst service in Little Haiti. I still give Chez Le Bebe four stars for providing great food, but if service doesn't improve patrons won't come. This restaurant is a 2 stars if you include service, but I won't allow witches to take down Chez Le Bebe. The food is too good to forgo, and the simple solution is to have the service issues fixed, or bypass them. One more thing, if you are coming here for the fried pork chunks (gryot), come around noon. Since the pork is fried in batches, the pork chunks sit in a steel bowl until the kitchen runs out. If you get there late, and there is pork left, you will be getting a re-fried pork chunk. Needless to say, it will be hard like a rock.

Opens late - useful to know if you're wanting a more authentic Haitian experience than Tap Tap. PROS: + Tables and chairs inside + Affordable prices + HUGE portions (and the rice w/ beans was tasty) + Pig feet was actually good here + Inside kept clean. CONS: - Fish was dry and "fishy" - Tostones can be improved. But the typical Haitian spicy sauce was perfect for it. - Location a little run-down. More fitting for quick casual meals. - Many menu items run out by the end of the night - meaning the earlier you come, the better. - Not the best Haitian around. I think I like Chez Rosie a little more (if it's still open) and I plan to try out Moca soon. Will return to try out the "goat head" soup that is served on Saturday mornings and is popularized by the Food Network's Andrew Zimmerman's Bizzare World.

I had all intentions to actually try the food. But two things stopped me from doing so. Well may be more than two. One: I was in a hurry and no one in the restaurant (if you can call it that) was. There were several people ahead of me and it looked like no one was be waited on. It was a saturday afternoon, 2pm. Two: The selection of food was limited and I wasn't in the mood for anything being offered. Three: The parking is very limited as is seating inside. Four: Call me paranoid, but I felt like everyone was looking at me from the time I walked in to my quick exit. Five: The area the restaurant is in, wasn't the best. But I have been to worse. I will try to go back and actually try the food this time :)

Must get Haitian food in Miami. That griot (fried pork) was so delicious. I could eat this on the daily. Wait wasn't as bad as I thought it would be (maybe 15 min) and it's cash only. Great flavors, delicious gravy. Love, love, love

Mezanmi! If you're in Miami drive to this spot and they are open late, the food is good and the portions....make you feel like you at your Momma's house. Today 9/8/13 the debit card machine was down so bring cash.

This place should be labeled as legendary because the food has been the same for decades. I started coming here when I was 8 years old which is almost 30 years ago it was located on NE 2nd ave inside the little efficiency area. We lived across the street in Sabal Palm I always ordered the Lambo which they no longer sell I'm wondering why but then we just wanted the fish, legume and world famous griot NEVER COME TO MIAMI WITHOUT STOPPING HERE

I have eaten there enough now to warrant a review. I moved into the neighborhood a little over 2 years ago and I was very skeptical about the restaurants because I can cook darn good Haitian food myself. One day, about 8 months ago, I got hungry and with a craving bad enough to venture into this place. Haitian food takes a long time to make so it was either take out or nothing. I'll cover the great, the good, the bad and the ugly. Great and good: The food is consistently good. Portions are HUGE. I don't enjoy the stewed chicken/chicken creole but I see plenty people ordering it, I just prefer mine (I had it several time before deciding this for myself). The Legume=stewed veggies is delish, doesn't always taste the same but it's always good, I'm writing my review as I'm eating some and it has more carrots than usual. Do note that the menu doesn't say so but it's not a vegetarian dish, it's has PORK chunks in it. The stewed goat is very very good. I love white rice with stewed beans and every single color bean I've had there is yummilicious. Rice and red beans together I only get when they run out of my faves. It's pretty good. The griot is excellent if you love deep fried pork LOL, I have my moments. My current favorite they only serve in the morning. It's a mix of ground yellow corn and red beans served with cod fish (bacalao) in an spicy onion tomato sauce "mais moulu" on the menu. It's written as grits in English but it's not white hominy corn and the consistency is that of polenta. It warms up really well so I get it around 8 AM and keep it for lunch or dinner. Try the "jus grenadia" = passion fruit juice mix - a little sweet but very nice and tangy. The bad and not so ugly: They run out of certain menu items on random days at random times. Haitian food take a lot of time to prepare (read 2 days for some items). Be prepared to order something else (like I did tonight). Between 6-8PM it gets hectic and you will wait up to 45 minutes for your order. They don't always answer the phone so you can't always order ahead. I believe the debit/CC machine is out of there for good. Bring cash. If you're looking for a place full of Haitian art, playing kompa with quaint little tables and perky waitresses taking your order with a creole accent, keep walking. This is as authentic as it gets, crabby order taker she's there to work not to make you feel good about yourself. She'll get your order right and make sure nothing is forgotten. I always the change usually $1-$3, they don't expect it but are very appreciative when you do. If you're not going home to eat, make sure you have suitable eating utensils with you. Theirs are flimsy plastic that either breaks or bends under the weight of the food. Bon Appétit!

What will $8 get you? I figured a decent meal, boy was I wrong. I first became aware of this place by a Cuban friend of mine who swears by it. We happen to be in the area and he suggested we stop by and pick up some lunch. I had never eaten Haitian food before and being always curious when it comes to food, I did not hesitate. I figured the gamble wouldn't be too large given that Haiti is next to the Dominican Republic, hence the cuisines most be similar. We walked inside and ordered the Griot (fried pork chunks). It took less then 10 minutes for them to gives our food and be on our way. They have a few tables so you can dine in. The dish consisted of rice and beans mixed (think congri), fried pork chucks, huge fried plantains, and a small salad with a nice spicy sauce. Also the dish weighed a bit. i decided to weigh it and it came in at 2Lbs 8ounces. Man that is a lot of food. Basically it's enough for 2 people, not bad for $4 each plate. The pork was great, the rice was perfect and the salad was addicting. I wish there would be more salad with that spicy sauce. Next time I'll ask for a side salad, can't get enough of it. I definitely will be returning and trying the rest of their menu.

The food here is not bad at all but the service here is terrible. If you get grossed out easily, you will not order food here. The service is terrible and the place is not clean.The representatives are extremely rude. If you are hungry and you want your food quickly, DO NOT COME TO THIS PLACE. The representatives talk about you when they think that you dont speak the language. If you have a lot of free time, patience and you desire to eat desent Haitian food, then this is the place for you.

I must admit they believe in 'the plate runneth over'! Like REAAAALLLLY! They have to put your food in a bag because the Styrofoam container won't close! The ONLY reason the didn't get a 5 was because of the service... Maybe the lady was having a bad day, but her and another lady behind the counter, were just talking away while I was standing there... And I the lady seemed a little miffed when I asked for more Picklees..

I'm a big fan of Haitian food so I know of all the good spots to go to. I happen to crave some Haitian food and decided to stop by here to pick up my favorite dish, rice and beans, griot and fried plantains. Every time I come there's always rude ladies behind the counter looking as if they don't want to be there. They need to work on providing customer service especially when we are the ones buying food which pays their paycheck. The food is always delicious which keeps me coming back to this location rather than Chef Creole. The prices are cheap for the amount of food you get. Definitely filling and I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

A place for everyone to come try, despite the surrounding neighborhood, the parking lot, and the appearance of the store. The friendly staff made me, a first time customer, feel welcome. I should have read the window to see that that have the best fried pork (Griot) in town, but I ordered the Ox-Tail and my friend ordered the Goat. We ordered the meals to go, which came in containers that looked as if we just got catering for a party of 10. The entree came with a great portion of rice and beans, fried plantains and a small salad. The food was well done and flavorful, enough to get me to come back again and try the Best Griot in Town.

Talk about bang for your buck!! I don't think any place in Miami gives you as much food for under $10. I ordered the griot (fried pork), which comes with rice and beans, plantains, a small iceberg salad, and a spicy slaw. Everything is delicious. And more than plentiful. One order of griot (which will cost you 8 bucks) could easily feed two people. There is no doubt in my mind that I will go back. Often. When I was there (on a Sunday early evening) most people came in to order take out, and there was a constant flow of customers. In the 10 minutes or so that I was inside Chez Le Bebe I think about 25 people came in to order.

I was staying for 5 minutes next to the bar\cashier stand and thought someone is gonna pay attention on me and take an order, guys were too busy talking to each other and I had to even interrupt them to ask about dishes, decided just to leave, what the hell just happened to me lol

Worst fucking service I ever seen in my life.They will sit on there phones on Facebook while you standing right in front of the counter and won't take your order or say anything to you. Act like your bothering them. Placed a order and still wasn't ready a hour later.

Tap Tap in South Beach has more ambiance (and I'm biased cuz Schmap used one of the photos I took there for its city guide: http://schmap.com/miami/restaurants_southbeach/), but I think Chez Le Bebe has better food. I don't know much about Haitian food, but this place was yummy. My sis and I were the only non-black people there, and I was conspicuously dressed in South Beach attire, sporting gold heels and all, but folks were friendly and didn't stare at us or anything. The menu is simple and all the entrees come with salad (just iceberg and a tomato slice), rice with beans (i love rice), and a couple large slices of fried plantains. They were out of veggies and chicken, so we got the goat stew and steamed fish. It was a ton of food for $20 (goat was $8 and fish was $12) and we were stuffed. Plus the server was really nice.

I've only been to Chez Le Bebe once so far - the food was ok, but not not as good as I had been hoping from some of the reviews here. I had the legume dish, which tasted a bit like it had been flavored with commercial Italian spaghetti sauce -- not a bad taste, but not what I had been expecting. I've heard their forte are their fried dishes, so will have to try some of that next time. The woman at the counter seemed perfectly pleasant, so on the late-Friday or Saturday night that I went by, I didn't experience any of the really bad service that a number of other reviewers have had. (Although it would have been nicer if she'd have let me know how long the order would take and if she would have said that I should pay when the food was ready, rather than having left me standing at the counter waiting to pay.)

Not the best. The plaintains were undercooked, the rice was over cooked and the meats were simply ok.

The fried griots is amazing, i have it atleast once a week. I can't be in the city and not stop by. The rice and peas are to die for. They also give you gravy and their hot sauce.

Wholly molly! I am stuffed! I just got back from Chez Le Bebe a few minutes ago and will stay lounging on my bed for the next 2 hours. The food portions are over the top. Put it this way: they are not skimpy with any portions. You can split one entree with 2-3 people depending how hungry you are. I got there too late for Oxtail so went with my back up plan of fried fish (hey..if you're going to go all out...just go all out) We took a cab from SoBe to Little Haiti ($24 bucks including tip one way)..but found it worth it because we paid $50 bucks for a crappy meal on Lincoln road that was bland. If you have a car, then its cool to head out there. When we were done eating they called a cab for us which was fine. Anyway...i'm stuffed. This is the utlimate comfort food. Just decide what type of meat you want (chicken, fish, pork, beef, etc) and it comes with rice and/or salad and fried plantains. The steady flow of people (non-stop) is a nice sight for people watching. I'm not from Miami...but the next time I'm back..i'll def. make another trip out there...its an execellent bang for the buck. $12 for Fried Fish and sides $7 for Fried Chicken and sides

Excellent food. Great service highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good Haitian food in Miami

Ahhhhh love this place for the price! I went one day while I was in town visiting my boyfriends family. Came here on a weekday, so the wait was not long and was surprised at how cheap the food was for the amount you get. I got the griot platter, which had the salad the dirty rice beans, a passion fruit juice. Man it was sooooo much I finished about 3/4. Despite the griot being a little dry, the food was good for the price you pay.

Never had Haitian food before so I have nothing to compare it to. Got the griot (fried pork) and it was awesome. It actually had similarities to what my filipino dad would make so I was satisfied. Also enjoyed the orange sauce they had on the table. One tip I have is that you gotta be aggressive as there is no line. I also agree with everyone that the portion is enough for 2 light eaters.

The spicy slaw is amazing!!!! I had the Griot which was nice as well. The rice and beans was unexciting but fine. ****We weren't looking for the goat head stew but asked her about it and she informed us they no longer make it*** Just a heads up.

Went to Little Haiti and decided to have some Haitian food. We tried this place. With me being Haitian-American I can never turn down Haitian food. I had the usual Diri kole avek Griot, Banan peze. This us authentic Haitian food and I love it. The only downside is that they don't accept card only cash. So have cash on you when coming here.

The griot was hard, dry, and hurt my mucous membranes and alimentary tract as it went down to my stomach. Griot at Tap Tap was the same. Regardless of whether this is authentic Haitian food or not, I am not a fan.
