El Nuevo Siglo

My friend's boss took us here, and I'm glad he did. This is a true gem on Calle Ocho in Little Havana. It combines the convenience of a food market and a cafeteria, plus has a Bakery and deli. I had a beef empanada made with puff pastry, and a fresh eclair. Not to mention, a fantastic selection of wines. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends. They have great service and friendly staff, and really reasonable prices

I’ve lived in Miami for decades. El Nuevo Siglo is my favorite Cuban restaurant in Little Havana. Food like your abuela (grandmother) made it. Reasonable prices, unpretentious, and a cool vibe. I invite my out of town foodie visitor friends here and they always dig it. Good neighborhood bodega/market too!

Produce is excellent. The items at this store that cannot be obtained at any other local establishment. They have very high quality products for argentina. Stop. The exception of the lady that works in the bakery are always helpful and willing to go the extra mile. To find an item for you if they don't have it on the shelf.

Great place if you need gifts for foodies or just the usual groceries. There is a small café bar and restaurant inside this bakery and grocery store. Recommend grabbing some of the Dulce de Leche in the dessert case in the back of the shop.

First time in decades I had a Cuban style breakfast. The Giajira omelet was fantastic. The Cuban bread came nice and hot with butter. Cafe con Leche brought memories of my Mom. A jewel 💖 in Little Havana. Laritza was friendly and great waitress. Made my Saturday.

Went on a morning walk and was recommended empanadas from El Nuevo Siglo. They are baked and have a wide variety of flavors. Empanadas were good. They are $3.25 each and were fresh and hot. This is in eighth Street in the tourist district, they have a market with Latin products, bakery, meat service and a sit down cafe. We took out.

I went yesterday had one of the specials. Carne con papas score 8 Arroz i frijoles Colorado score 9 Yucca score 9 Tostones score 5 Overall I'll definitely go back.I haven't even mentioned the pastries in the back.

Enjoyed a great lunch here at the counter within the grocery store.

The prices are unbeatable, making it a fantastic option for anyone looking for great value. But what truly sets this place apart are the delicious, huge meals they offer. Each dish is packed with flavor and generous portions, perfect for satisfying any appetite. Whether you're in the mood for a quick bite or a hearty meal, this spot delivers every time. Highly recommend checking it out!

We visited Calle Ocho-Little Havana with our friends who are locals. This food was very authentic and well-seasoned. The service was great and our friend ordered for us in Spanish. The restaurant was inside the supermarket and surrounded by grocery products. I wanted the Ropa Vieja, but they were out, so I ordered the Vaca Frita with rice and beans. It was very well seasoned, but the meat lacked tenderness. It was a filling meal for a good price, and it was a good experience. They offer a variety of desserts in a bakery.

Tan rico!!! Thank you Yelp, for helping us find this place!! This is a very "home cooked" type of in-market eatery, you will probably have some communication issues if you don't speak Spanish! Lucky me, my husband is Spanish, and he had fun talking with some of the Cubans living in Little Havana here! We were visiting from NC and weren't very familiar with Cuban cuisine, but many items are also popular in Spain, just a different version. They were all out of Ropa Vieja, so I decided to get the Rabo (oxtail) - mmmm so so so good!! It came with a choice of rice - I chose Morado, which was also mixed with beans. The Rabo was such a treat - so tender and also a bit indulgent with all the fattiness My husband got the Mariscos (I think?) which was a grilled fish fillet with veggies, rice and beans. Also the Maduros (plantains) were super delicious too! We got two per plate.

Their rabo encendido is 10/10. This place is amazingly good and has good flavor. I'm from California and it's really hard to find good authentic Cuban food.

While taking a bus tour of Little Havana, we stopped for Cuban coffee, snacks/ food. 2 buses went into 1 establishment and we looked up where else to go eat. Once again Yelp did not disappoint. Reviews praised the authenticity and high quality of food here and I would have to agree And highly recommend. This little gem of local fair is located within a supermarket and had fantastic looking food, based on what was delivered to tables around us. Bread basket with Big slices of fresh, soft bread for dipping in over easy eggs, gravy on your plate and is also used for a fantastic classic Cubano. Sandwich was substantial for a larger appetite and could easily be shared if you wanted to try another dish. Grilled bread gave good crunch while still soft and yielding with every bite + sopping up juices/ Mayo/ mustard. Seating available at counter, taller tables and standard height tables with enough space for a w/c to dine as well. We were told that we should allow more time for food, anywhere- even McDonald's) as there is a general "Island Time" atmosphere/ lifestyle in Miami community. However, the staff acknowledged us in a pretty timely manner to order, bring us waters and approx 7-10 minutes for our food. The Cuban coffee took the longest, I must admit I wondered if she forgot, but she came mid meal. Maybe that's how they do it? The staff were always hustling and we waited patiently for the tab and our server gave me the universal "one minute, I'm coming" gesture while multitasking and getting patrons in/ out. Total came to a little over $12.00 for 2 coffees and sandwiches! There was a bakery in back but we didn't browse. There were restroom facilities available but they were in use the 2x attempted, so cannot comment.

This place use to be a gem. I'm not sure what's changed but the food quality has diminished along with its portions. If that isn't bad their prices have also increased significantly. The quality and ambience is definitely not worth the price.

This place has my heart in Little Havana! The servers are wonderful in this small in store speak easy, great food and they make you feel el calor de familia. Cuban sandwiches are perfect. A la guapa, siempre seria mi vida.

We stopped by El Nuevo Siglo for a quick lunch after walking around Little Havana. We'd been told it had some of the best Cuban food in the area, and it didn't disappoint! The restaurant is located in a supermarket, and we had no trouble finding table late in a Sunday afternoon. The ambience is super casual, and the service is super friendly (and accommodating of people looking for food recs). All that said, I can still confidently conclude that the food was the star of the show. The maduros and arroz con pollo were great, and the incredibly juicy and flavorful ropa vieja was out of this world. I've thought about it a couple of times since leaving, and I'll be back for more as soon as I can!

What a great little place! Went looking for a lunch spot in Little Havana and came across this unusual restaurant nestled inside a small grocery store. The place seemed to be frequented by locals and not a tourist trap at all. They had one of the best Cuban coffees I've ever had. The food was great and you definitely will not leave here hungry. I ordered the fried steak and it didn't even fit in the plate! I would highly recommend!

I was walking to another place and limited in time, so I stopped here. I arrived a little too late, and they only had a few items from their daily special. I got the picadillo, plantains, rice, and black beans. The black beans come in a different plate, soup style. They tasted amazing. The beans were well seasoned and even had the onion slices, which I loved. I haven't tried a picadillo as good as this one in a long time. Even though I was undecided about trying it, I will probably keep coming back for it. The service is excellent, and you will see a lot of locals coming in and out. There is also a supermarket inside. Great! Because that's my next stop. I haven't even had my dessert but I needed to leave my review before I forget.

Sometimes the best dining experiences come when & where you least expect it. We were visiting Little Havana & came upon El Nuevo Supermarket. Lo and behold there's a small restaurant area within the grocery. There was a table of Miami Police Officers seated and taking their lunch break. Cops definitely enjoy their food and if they were eating here then so were we. The Wednesday special was roasted chicken, rice, plantains, green peas and a beef based soup for less than $6. Can you say Wow, color me impressed... The meal was excellent, with quick service. The price was obviously phenomenal. Fine dining it was not, but who cares because it was a hometown Miami dining experience if there ever was one. The experience will be a positive memory of our first visit to Miami. The food

Theee place for real cuban food in calle ocho. As soon as you walk in the smell of sofrito and garlic hit you and you know its going to be good. When tourists ask for a local place to eat, this is the place i always recommend.

Local gem We stumbled upon this restaurant hidden in the El Nuevo Siglo supermarket just outside the touristy area of Little Havana. It seemed to be full of locals, the food was very simple and authentic and the prices were very reasonable. The staff were really friendly too!

If your looking for a Cuban sandwich this is the best one in Miami and I've tried soooo many! This is homemade and has the authentic taste that is soooo good! Service great and staff even better!

Hi friends. I absolutely love this place. Today I ordered an order of ternilla, pollo asado, and a media noche sandwich with extra pickles and mustard. The portions are amazing. Service is quick. Food is savory and tastes like homemade food made by grandma. Thanks to the staff here that make me feel like I'm at home. Highly recommended. Thank you. Five stars.

Super delicious authentic tasting food. Great friendly service. Best tasting meal we've had in Miami :)

Hidden treasures come in the form of low-key markets. Cuban food doesn't need to be served in overpriced restaurants for you to enjoy the cuisine. Rather, El Nuevo Siglo is proof that even a street market can serve up some hearty delicious food at very reasonable prices. While a majority of the supermarket serves the local community with produce and goods, we went straight for the dining area on the right. There sat a couple of local patrons chowing down on dinner plates watching the latest game on the ceiling TV. Perfect! The menu features multiple daily specials so it's worth it to look through and see what you want. Most plates average around $8 and often come with plantains, beans, and rice with your main entree. I eagerly chose some fried cutlet in their Milanesa and went with all three of the sides in order to try everything. The pounded fried piece of meat was delicious and complimented with the soft plantains, bomb black beans, and delicate white rice, it was a feast for a king. I happily chowed down on everything and did not leave room for any dessert. Fortunately, we hopped on over to the market side to grab some popsicles to go once our stomach made room. After you're done eating, you take your check up to the cashier at the supermarket and they'll ring you up- simple as that. I enjoyed my experience here and would recommend anyone looking to try some Cuban food for cheap to explore this option.

This cafeteria has been in the "hood" for a number of years. They're open from breakfast thru dinner. This is not a fancy location but the food is spot on and very authentic. Almost as good as mom used to make. The best part is they are very reasonably priced. You're not in a five star but definitely a five star "cafeteria" wher the food is very good and you feel like a true local. Not many of these spots still around so I'm glad they're doing well. Warning during lunch be patient as the ladies get overwhelmed. The bickering is part of the ambiance and almost feels as if you're home and siblings are going at it. Enjoy this hidden gem if in the area and wanting authentic Cuban food in a laid Mach environment.

This review is not for the food, but for the sanitation problems. The one singular toilet for employees and customers does not function. Door does not lock, but don't worry, the toilet doesn't flush either. And soap? What's that? Seriously. I didn't even finish my meal at their diner I was so disgusted. And to think the employees have to use that facility... Makes you think twice about eating from their prepared foods deli/bakery.

What an unbelievable gem. Copious amounts of incredible food. Got the snapper fillet which came with rice, beans, yucca, and sauteed onions/peppers. Fish was so flakey and well seasoned - couldn't believe how good it was. Yucca was the best I've ever had. Had to save the rice & beans for the next day. Husband got a solid cuban (it comes with pulled pork on top!) and the tender beef soup (for just 6$ it was an entire quart - leftovers for 2 more days). For a total of $24 this place was feeding us their genuinely delicious food for days. This is the real deal, and it feels like such a great secret hidden in a grocery store. Loved the ease of ordering takeout via yelp, it was flawless. Free parking in the back too.

We had the best Cuban pastries at this supermarket. The bakery is in the back. Very fresh. PROS: Bakery Prices

Heard about this spot from some local store owners nearby. Don't expect for a fancy spot but the food is amazing! The food here is like eating what your grandma makes for you so authentic and great. We all ordered the Friday Special Tender Beef Pot/ Tendilla. This was amazing! The beef was so soft and tender and almost melts in you mouth.

This is authentic Cuban food in a supermarket. No frills or tourist trap but great foods and Cuban coffee. We ordered the tender beef and lamb shank. Great taste and juicy soft. I can tell they have a lot of local regulars here.

This place is great. It's actually a supermarket with a cafeteria in the heart of Little Havana. Very casual. Great for a wonderful and inexpensive home cooked Cuban meal. I had the special which was Carne con Papa (Beef and potato stew) with white rice and Yuca (Cassava) all for $8 (shown in picture). They have multiple specials. They also make amazing beef empanadas at the back of the market. A must for a casual Cuban dining experience.

The food is great and I'd love to give this place a higher rating but their online menu has all sorts of issues. Wrong descriptions, missing parts of menu and item availability. Also, there is a 50/50 chance they get my order right. Probably because of the problematic menu. I assume in person it may be a different story. El Nuevo Siglo: if you need help let me know. Happy to help for free. I'd order a lot more often!

vivo en Kendall acabo de comunicarme para comprar pan de miga . llame para ver si tienen disponible . y la pabota que contesta no puede ni preguntar si hay disponible . horrible !!! pongan personas que de verdad quieren trabajar !

Located on 13 Ave and calle 8, this is way more than a market. The front has a Cuban cafeteria with reasonable prices for this area, and the back has an Argentinian bakery with all kinds of delicious sweet and salty delights. Empanadas (I got the chicken and also the beef. Outstanding), milhojas, medialunas, alfajores, tartas de espinaca y de alcachofas, etc. Empanadas are filling and well priced at $2.25. I also got a very filled arrollado de dulce de leche at $4! This is basically a caramel roll. So so good!

Great cafeteria inside the supermarket which you were never think to look for. Hidden gem and inexpensive.

My girlfriend is living in the area and we decided to go for breakfast close by, searched yelp and found this place. I was a bit concerned, because it says it is a supermarket, but having so many positive reviews I trusted yelp and it did not dissapoint. It is a bar style eatery inside of a small supermarket with a few high tables around the bar area. The lunch menu is very limited to cuban traditional staples only about 10 items and sides , and breakfast is only eggs, bacon, pancakes and toast. Service was slow but very attentive and the environment is good as it feels isolated from the market area. I'll definitely be back!

While it's not as vastly loaded as other nearby Hispanic supermarkets, this spot aims to please in a different way offering morsels of comforting Cuban food embodying that Calle Ocho flavor serving the locals in the area with reliable food served in heaping portions packed to the top in their respective containers as the cafecito brewing every few minutes fills the market with a reliably nostalgic scent. Yes, I ordered white rice, a fried egg, french fries, and puerco asado to go as I quickly browsed the aisles and brought home some adobo por si acaso. I al malt for the quarter chicken but it was too late so I'll save it for next time. Everything is juicy, inexpensive, home style, and casually served. I mean, you can't go wrong. Plus, I ordered a croqueta for good luck and you know they gave me lime and a saltine cracker to properly assemble it. Calle Ocho came through with this spot...

We had a really excellent pastry here. It had a bout a thousand layer of crispy buttery crust, segmented with milky and sweet dulce de leche carmel. This was all topped with a quarter inch of solid chocolate. For $2.50. It was an awesome treat. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you're on Calle Ocho/Little Havana. Also note these guys had some Cuban food that looked insanely good. We were too full to get any, but I'd give them a try for sure if I was back in the area.

Easily one of Miami's hidden gems! A restaurant/cafe inside a super market. Where the food is consistently good and the service is genuine and great. It's a Cuban spot so it can be loud at times but it's all part of the experience. You even pay for your food with the cashier through the grocery line. 'La guajira' is very delicious breakfast item! It's scrambled eggs with onions, green peppers, ham, tomato with black beans and slices of avocado on top! I'm drooling writing about it... SO GOOD! The servers cook your food so I suggest you don't come in with an attitude... Enjoy!

Hometown little Havana place to have a quick meal during lunch. I meet up with friends periodically for a quick bite and the biggest challenge is parking but not a big deal. Again and again you may run into some typical neighborhood issues outside but that's a little Havana thing. They have daily specials with typical Cuban food staples and since the cafeteria is inside the supermarket you can always grab some stuff to go if you're short on items at home.

In the center of little Havana, the food counter at this market serves up delicious and authentic dishes. I've been here a few times over the last decade, always for breakfast; they're fast, consistently good, and inexpensive. On my last visit I had the Guajira, which is a Cuban style breakfast that includes eggs scrambled with Virginia ham, onions, and tomatoes, topped by black beans and avocado slices... A hearty breakfast that also comes with French bread tostada (made like Cuban bread tostada, but chewy in addition to the crisp crust), and cafe con leche. All this for $7.50. In addition to good food and service, you get a real authentic taste of Calle Ocho! Only Spanish is spoken here (always good practice for me!). Across the street you'll find the Jose Marti Memorial in the median of SW 13 Ave. In the massive roots of the central banyan tree, it's not uncommon to see paper bags rolled closed at the top... These contain Santeria offerings. There's also a small Christian statue of Mary which attracts flower offerings. Of course, the food counter is only one part of El Nuevo Siglio Supermarket... Don't miss browsing the market!

If you want good Cuban food minus the tourist trap frills you'll want to come here! It's awkwardly located inside of a supermarket and it's definitely a locals spot. Absolutely nothing fancy about this place, but the food is excellent. The prices are exactly what they should be for Cuban food. Don't ever let someone tell you that Cuban food is "cuisine" IT'S NOT! It's Cuban food! Rice and Beans are poor man's food. The service is up close and personal and anything you need is just a holler away. The portions are huge and everything was just delicious. They also offer free parking. I'd definitely recommend.

Tourist in Miami. Don't speak a word of Spanish. Walked into El Nuevo Siglo and saw mostly older men sitting at the bar and no one spoke English so I knew this place was going to be good! Staff was so kind to us and the food was beyond incredible. It is sooooo flavorful and cooked to perfection and is very affordable. We got the fried chicken with rice, beans, plantains, and yuca. Definitely my favorite thing I ate in Miami. Highly recommended for sure!

This is a hidden gem! It is not a classic restaurant actual it is a supermarket but has a restaurant inside the food simply is amazing ! We enjoyed the food first time so we came the second time if you are in little Havana must try ! The first time I had the beef pot and it was heaven second time I tried the oxtail and it was delicious I am topping of with Cuban coffee and flan :)

Favorite Cuban restaurant in Miami. Did I get your attention with that? I will tell you a story that will help you understand why this one is my favorite at the end of this, another long review. Sit tight. I found this place by walking into every restaurant in Little Havana on Calle Ocho trying to pick one, based on the look of happiness the consumers were wearing. I would not have known that this market had such a charming restaurant inside, had I not walked in. Have you ever noticed that many a good restaurant find themselves tied to an adjacent market? I have a theory. Could it be that these restaurants have such available fresh produce to be passed on to us? -Just a theory. I enter and spy the sleek bar to the right of the market, sold out of seats by Cuban customers who are sitting in front of steaming, glossy plates of gorgeous-looking traditional Cuban meals. All eyes are closed. Have a seat at the bar, and your server will offer you a glass of ice water. Or. Go and pick out a beverage from the market's refrigerators. Your server will just add it to the bill. I tried an exotic sugar-free soda that I had never seen anywhere else. I didn't love it but I do love to try new things! I dined here several times during my Miami visit. I loved everything. The specials are written on a chalkboard behind the bar in Spanish. You can ask for a menu which lists everything for you in English and Spanish. There are specials which change daily. I promised my good friend Valerie C. that I would order oxtail stew in Little Havana. I made a note to return Sunday night when it is the daily special. I sat at the bar with my drink and said hello to my neighbors with a smile and a nod. I started with chicharos. Not to be confused with chicharron! Chicharos, means split pea soup. Holy smokes the split pea soup is good here! A meal on its own. $1.50. I ordered the grilled fish, (pescado) which came with two sides. I chose white rice and sweet plantains. ($8) The presentation was contemporary, beautiful and clean. Totally unexpected at the bar/counter of a small Cuban market. Phenomenal. The fish (snapper) was perfectly cooked. Perfectly seasoned. It was aromatic, tender and light. Topped with grilled onions and a fragrant garlic broth. The sides were also excellent and suited the fish perfectly. (5 solid stars) I returned a couple more times. On Sunday, every table was taken. I snagged the last seat at the bar. Everyone ordered the same thing. True to my promise, I also ordered the oxtail stew. Oxtail stew is also a nostalgic dish in American soul food. Oxtail soup is comfort food to South America, West Africa, China, Indonesia and Korea. Oxtail stew is cherished by Jamaica, Trinidad, West Indian cultures, Southern Africa, American and Cuban soul food. Look how many of us can agree on what good is! Now let's get together on the rest! Here, the oxtail is cooked in an aromatic garlic and tomato broth. It falls apart like a house of cards. It comes second to one other Cuban restaurant's version. In Vegas. It was simmered in tart green olives. -Yum. But I was so glad to have tried this dish here. Ordering it here made me feel part of the family that is comforted by this dish every Sunday.:-) The ambiance, the food, the convenience, the value, the location and the delicious food are all part of what ranks this my favorite Cuban restaurant. But being a solo tourist has me in love with eating at this bar in particular, where everyone is made to feel like part of the family. Why I love to eat at the bar of a nice restaurant comes with a story. I was once jealous. Years ago. I let a girl crash at my house when she was down on her luck. We became good friends. She had many a boyfriend buy her various things. One paid her cellphone bill, another bought her New Year's eve gown on Rodeo. I bought mine at Macy's. On sale. "She must be so much prettier than me!" Or so thought. I worked very hard for my income & Independence & still do. Then one day. I caught my boyfriend and this girl together. I was so sad. I got into my car and drove. To a fancy French restaurant that I had always wanted to try but thought out of my price range. I ordered champagne, a beautiful meal and. Cried my eyes out. When the bill came, I took cash from my wallet and paid. I was 21. It dawned on me. I didn't have to "ask" a boyfriend to buy me this meal. And I didn't want to! It was my first time dining alone. First time I noticed eyes on me. In a good way! I'm oblivious! I dried my tears. made the boyfriend an ex, told the girl to find another place to sleep for free. She did. Now. I LOVE taking myself out to dinner solo. Bar seats rule. -It makes me feel like a beautiful girl. More than make up could ever. Ladies, beautiful independent girls, (& guys) who pay for their own. Dine here at the bar. It's great! & never be jealous. Of anyone:-)

The only thing I will say about this place is that this is where you'll find the best, most delicious, authentic Cuban food in Little Havana, no questions asked, period.

If you're looking for some really homemade Cuban cooking gen you found the spot. We had a palomilla, vaca frita, puerco asado, and a breakfast. Amazing! The yuca was perfectly done! Like if your Cuban grandmother made it. Everything we had was great and the perfect tostada! The staff is very friendly. The girls taking your order are also the same who cook. Overall this little hole in the wall is a "must go to"!

Great prices pretty good cuban food, quick service no fuss. Fresh food always on point! Must order in person for take out but we'll worth it. Potions are huge!

Stopped by before our flight for a quick meal. We got there around the lunch rush but we were seated quickly. There was a slight language barrier, but with the Spanish my gf and I knew, we were able to order food. We got the skirt steak and fried fish filet. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare and the fish filet was crispy. The black beans were delicious as well. We also got the ropa vieja to go. What we spent on lunch was MORE than reasonable. Amazing little spot, will for sure visit when I'm back in mi

I was in Miami for a week on a business trip and I've been to Miami over the years several times. On this trip, I was determined to seek an alternative Miami and happy to say I fell in love with the city all over again. Enter El Nuevo Siglo Supermarket in Little Havana. Intimate Cuban diner in a small grocery store with a bakery in the back. Delicious food. SUPER inexpensive. I met a really friendly and sweet local. We had a great conversation about his meditation retreat in India and he showed me pictures of his time there. All of it made for a 5 star review. Keep doing you, Supermercado!

Excellent hole in the wall Cuban food, this place delivers every time for all the staples especially black beans and rice. Food is cooked to order dinner style by the servers and Cuban coffee is excellent. Highly recommend

This was a fantastic find! Very authentic and delicious Cuban food, plus it was so inexpensive! I would definitely return here the next time I'm in Miami!

Glad I stumbled upon this place in Little Havana. They have a lunch counter where all the locals go and they have authentic Cuban food. In a grocery store so everything is fresh and reasonable prices. Highly tec

Really enjoyed the food and the ambiance. For a tourist who wanted to taste Cuban-American culture, this was a great place to start. Seeing Cuban Americans in their element in their grocery store with an attached restaurant was great. The stewed beef, white rice and black beans, and fried plantains was a truly delicious meal. My only problems were we couldn't get a doggy bag for or leftovers and with as busy as it was it took a significant period of time to get our check. We will be back!

We wanted to try a good Cuban place. This place was recommended to us. Very good service and the food tasted great.

The best cuban breakfast in the Calle Ocho area. For less than $8 you get a Tostadita, eggs with jam or bacon, Cafe con Leche. What a Steal!!! Oh and dont forget the food, get your basics like Pancakes if you want a more traditional option. Come here every Sunday after a long night of Partying

The food here is spectacular grandmas cuban kitchen. If I had a Cuban grandma. Reminded me of visiting my friends homes when I was in high school and eating dinner with them. Awesome! I will definitely make this a place to bring family and friends when they come to Miami to visit.
