Las Palmas Restaurant

My boyfriend and I found Las Palmas while walking around Miami during a layover to Salt Lake. After walking around downtown for several hours, this place was like an oasis! The food was warm and fresh, our server was friendly, and the location makes for a great stop while in the city. I would definitely recommend stopping by!

My first escapade in Miami- and this is the first place my friends and I got food from. A tiny hole in the wall joint with a friendly staff- I have to recommend the Cuban coffee first and foremost. So good! The Steak Sandwich I ordered for myself was huge! Reasonably priced and filling with a big handful of fries on the side. I had to box up half of it and finish it later. My friends got the Midnight and the Ham & Cheese Sandwich. While the Midnight did have good flavor (especially with the pickles!) I'd say mine won. We didn't try the fresh squeezed orange juice- but that looked very good too. Another shoutout to the friendly staff!

This little cafeteria I know since they opened. It is a simple, authentic, and affordable place. I had my steak again and again it was as I liked it and had it over the years. I have not been in a few years and yet my wife and I were immediately recognized. This would be a spot where I could hang out every day. But I live in Bradenton :)

I had a very disappointing experience with the management at this restaurant. An employee was unfairly charged for a meal due to a manager's mistake. It's completely unacceptable to hold a staff member financially responsible for something that was not their fault. This situation reflects a serious lack of professionalism and ethical standards. I cannot recommend a place that treats its employees this way. I hope the management reconsiders how they handle these matters and starts treating their staff with the fairness and respect they deserve.

My favorite restaurant, staff is always amazing. Food is amazing, truly the best spot to get breakfast. Any 1 star reviews are absolutely false or they have the wrong spot, only love shown from this establishment.

Great little breakfast and lunch joint. We had very friendly service and good food at a great price. I was disappointed they were out of ingredients to make the Cuban sandwich, but the vaca frita and the colada were both good.

Best Cuban breakfast spot in Miami! Steak and eggs with a Cafe con leche was delicious and the orange juice was freshly squeezed. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone.

In downtown Miami you have a contrast between the new high end glitz and the old school. Las Palmas represents the Old School in a Cuban sort of way. There you can get a Cuban coffee for less than a dollar and at that point you realize you have found a pretty cool place. Certain nothing is fancy but there is something awesome that this place has survived.

I walked into the restaurant and waited about 15 minutes before being approached to place my order. When the gentleman at the counter asked what kind of coffee I wanted, I said a colada. He then asked if I wanted it with or without sugar. I simply replied, "A colada isn't a colada without sugar," and confirmed I wanted it with sugar. To my surprise, this seemed to offend him, and he refused to serve me. He even refused service to the person standing next to me, someone I didn't know, simply because they were nearby. I'm not sure what kind of customer service this is, but I want others to be aware of this disappointing experience

Because 4.5 stars is not an option, and the service deserves 5 stars... A very small tucked away place, quiet and simple... as opposed to the few restaurants across the street. The little grandma was so friendly and sweet, and was kind enough to refill my coffee mug with extra milk. And she even steamed it before refilling for me! That's the kind of service you don't really get anymore without either paying an arm and a leg or just have to go without these days. The food gets 4 stars because the hash brown could be a little less oily and the palmas steak could be a little more tender. Otherwise, the flavor and the amount is amazing... The prices deserves 5 stars in this economical climate and I'm shocked they can be this cheap in this neck of the woods but I appreciate it nonetheless. My only complaint is actually the mosquitoes... I got 6 bites in the 30mins while I ate there. I didn't dock off any stars for that because it is Miami with an open front, but beware if you are a mosquito magnet...

Las Palmas in downtown Miami is a hidden gem--so tucked away, you might pass it twice before realizing it's the spot you've been searching for. The food? Excellent. The staff? Warmer than your abuela when you finally return her missed calls . Their food is always great. And on Fridays? The have a smash burger on their menu, which is the top smash burger I've had in Miami. You would not expect this from a Latin restaurant. All of their other food is great as well. Highly recommend!

Stumbled around this little restaurant while searching for lunch for a day in Miami. We wanted Cuban food and this was perfect. It was lunch time and the place was actually empty so we were skeptical but gave it a try anyways. Definitely looks like a family owned and family-run restaurant. The menu has a lot of choices. I believe the main dishes were only available for dinner so we went with the breakfast and lunch option. Steak, egg, toast, coffee- hubby got this breakfast special and the portion was huge! Look at the plate. It was a big slice of steak, 2 eggs (scrambled) fries, a side of bread and a cup of coffee. We could have totally shared the one entree and be full for 2 people! The price definitely beats the portion. Steak sandwich- I got the sandwich which was also big in portion. It came with chips fries on top. The sandwich had onions and lettuce, tomatoes. It may not be the tastiest meal but it def satisfied our belly and our wallet. The service was great. The guy who took our order was very nice and the lady seems like she didn't speak a lot of English. The food was not salty so more on the bland side so you can definitely dress it up with sauce. We would definitely stop by here again if in town to try their dinner menu. Price definitely is great for budget friendly people :)

this is the kind of local small hole in the wall restaurants that yelp helps you find! It's a small place in the heart of downtown Miami Brazilian family run business. You don't come here for the ambience, should come here for some dang good food! We started with some café con Leche, and then got a Cubano with fries for our meal. It's good of a Cuban sandwiches you'll find anywhere! Small place with grapefruit food and great service. Give it a try!

It's very local restaurant downtown. A Cuban deli is best described it. Got thr cubano sandwich was excellent.

Food and service was good, good for a quick bite to eat. Try the colada ! The eggs and hashbrowns were a good price

Best Cuban coffee friendly staff good prices awesome gran and go or quick good meal super convenient in downtown and also a great pan con bistec (steak sandwich)

I will not be returning to this restaurant. The customer service is disrespectful, and the food is unsatisfactory at least 90% of the time. I've given this place multiple chances since it's close to my job, but I cannot recommend it.

I was surprised my the 1 star reviews as I've never had issues with ordering or service here. They have a great breakfast special that my coworkers and I like to take advantage of. If you order ahead on DoorDash you can essentially skip the long coffee run line in the morning, lol.

Miami is changing and Las Palmas represents the old downtown past but in a good way. I ordered a Cuban coffee with sugar which was a mere 90 cents. That is old downtown Miami. The Cafe certainly is not upscale but it is a place to find some Cuban nibbles and you do not want to pass on the Cuban coffee.

Cafe cubano was excellent! Would definitely recommend stopping here for a coffee when in Miami

Had errands to run,saw thisvlittle place just asking me to have a seat.great service hot food. Incredible price and my new favorite Cuban

Randomly popped into this hole in the wall and let me tell you - their pan con bistec was the best I've had in a long time. It was juicy and tender and made to absolute perfection. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! Will definitely return!

Great place for lunch. They close early between 4:00 and 5:00. My wife and I had exactly what we're looking for. Bryce and beans, steak sandwich and a chicken sandwich. Both extremely tasty

Delicioso! From the moment we wakes in I was greeted with warm smiles and immediately felt at home with fresh baked Cuban bread wafting down the street and led us into the cafeteria style café with counter top seating. Mario a really cool guy working the counter helped us shuffle through the menu and we trusted him by ordering everything he suggested. Started with a cortadtio of course then we all split the beef steak sandwich, cuban, and a hearty plate of perfectly cooked beans, white rice & chicken. Yum!They were also super helpful in explaining the menu us & being patient with a group of hangry girls.

Visiting Miami for the first time, hotel recommended this restaurant . Good food and good service at fair price.

The food it's very family orientated unbelievable plate large volume very well made atmosphere family service. Unbelievable service and the food you'll enjoy it

Great place to eat if you don't have a lot of time but can sit down for a few. I had the breakfast sandwich with bacon, eggs and cheese on wheat bread. It was cooked just right. The bread was toasted just right. The Cuban coffee was superb! I also took one to go! The staff were efficient at getting the orders right and back to the kitchen. They came out rather quickly. I had a nice experience with little to no crowd in the morning around 10:30 am.

Love Cuban food, I'm really glad this place exists because there aren't many Cuban spots on this block and we live in Miami! The Cuban sandwich and steak sandwich are really yummy highly recommend.

Little hole in the wall spot with authentic Cuban coffee and great food options. We popped in here after arriving early for a work conference and are happy to have found this spot!

Horrible service and experience. Was never offered drink after sitting for 20 mins. Overcooked palomilla (Thin sliced sirloin) after asking fir it medium and and undercooked rice. Must work for the tourists who really don't know about real Cuban food.

Place was good years ago but the last 2 times I've gone you really notice the old owners are not there anymore . I used the bathroom and saw how dirty the really is in the back . Don't take my word stop by . The palomilla steak was over cooked and dry and the beans had no taste . I'm surprised dirty dining has not investigated this restaurant. Ask to use the bathroom and u will see the filth . I am Cuban and I see the fake reviews on here this is far from Cuban food .take a look at the reviews all good reviews are from out of the state where people don't know real Cuban food but owner has a. Excuse for everything including roach found in food .

Terrible service . Terrible food . Terrible costumer service . I don't recommend this place . I had the worst experience eating here I ever had and I have been in the best Miami places and I thinks you should improve this place a lot even if is a cafeteria. Terrible servicio. Comida terrible. Terrible servicio al cliente. No recomiendo este lugar. Tuve la peor experiencia comiendo aquí que he tenido y he estado en los mejores lugares de Miami y creo que deberías mejorar mucho este lugar, incluso si es una cafetería.

The restaurant is located in downtown Miami. The service is quick and the food is good. The prices are super cheap too. If you are looking for a fancy location, you have come to the wrong place. This is a hole in the wall type of place, but don't let that fool you into thinking that is sucks because it doesn't. For such a small location, they have plenty of seating. We sat at the bar, but there were a few tables that were opened. We liked sitting at the bar because the TV was where no one would block us as they walked by. I think that one of the best things about this place was the close proximity to Biscayne Park.

Staying at a hotel nearby and decided to try this little cuban place for breakfast and we're so glad we did. The service was perfect and the food (cuban sandwich and egg sandwich) delicious. Loved our cortaditos and large freshly squeezed orange juice too. It beats by far in price and taste our fancy hotel breakfast options.

Come here for the cheap food and cafe con leche. Breakfast for 3 was under $15 and it was good! Small joint. Busy place- no bathroom. Affordable and clean

Had chicken steak with congrí and yuca fries. The rice and beans was COLD. Asked for a warm serving and the server explained that they cooked it at the moment and walked away. I was like, ok great. Did not even offer to warm it up. Yuca fries were not hot either. Portions are small too. coffee was good. That's it. Would not return.

So happy my friend brought me to this cute little Cuban spot for breakfast while I was in Miami. It's a small shop but some people are in and out so if you want to sit down and eat then you can do so at some of the tables. The breakfast here is sooo good and extremely affordable. For around $4, I had eggs, hash brown, sausage and a bottle water or coffee. Literally just $4. That's like a steal, especially for someone who pays that price for just a bagel in nyc. The service was extremely quick so I'd recommend stopping in for breakfast when you have a few minutes to spare. I also has some refreshing fresh squeezed OJ to cap off a fulfilling meal.

Tostadas are on point! The Cuban sandwich is tasty also, and they don't over stuff it to the point that it's overwhelming. The Cuban coffee is good, ladies inside the store are very nice. I'd recommend!!

Great local cafeteria for a quick snack. Good food and amazing pricing. Can't go wrong.

Cockroach infested ! Beware ! My coworkers always order from here... till today! Just look at the picture (look closely).The craziest part is that when they went back to show the roach in the food, the owner came out and said " that happens, it's normal they crawl in there"!! What??!! Sorry, that's inexcusable. A better response would have helped the situation like " I'm so sorry, we will make every effort to clean the kitchen properly". We also checked at the health inspection online and it's been previously closed for rodent activity- GROSS

I ordered an empanada which was pre heated and soggy. I also had a guava and queso pastelito and it was served cold and mushy and we had to have it microwaved. We ate the pastelito but sent back the empanada after a bite each because it really wasn't edible. We tipped on the full bill just didn't like the food and felt our honest clear feedback should've been respected but for some reason wasn't.

All in for great authentic Cuban food! Great prices, great service and very solid food and super sonic coffee! I come here every time I'm in Miami

Hole in the wall spot. Mostly for Cuban coffee. Seating is limited but it's never full. Service is fast but staff is not too friendly. We get cafecito there every day. Two coladas and two cortaditos are around $7. Tip the coffee makers, it makes them smile .

A classic place! I was having a weight meltdown and ordered a salad of all things from an iconic place like this! It was delicious! The staff was super friendly! My husband had the breakfast special and loved it! We both had the fantastic Cuban bread and Cuban coffee!

I was starving from a long flight and I decided to get something quick before my check in at the hotel. The cafeteria was pretty dissapointing. Food was okay 4/10. I had the Especial Cubano and it was pretty bland nothing special. Costumer service was pretty bad. Not recommendable, will not be coming back anytime soon. They have good coffee though but I'd suggest you take it to go. Owner had a nasty attitude.

They've always been pretty good service wise. I order food from them online and will mostly eat in the restaurant with my takeout but maybe order a soda or coffee directly from them. The food is cheap, and you can tell in the quality, but overall they always have customers and are always prompt to help. Coffee is legit. Much better than walking down to any trendy shop and paying 4x Update: my words were harsh. The Owner is correct. Food is cheap, and a great value for what you pay. I did not at all mean it was cheap quality. Just don't expect champagne on a beer budget.

It's slightly overpriced for the quality of food. It is one of the better cuban places you'll find in downtown. If you're willing to drive, you'll find better places around town. The best part of this place was learning about guayana soda (however, you spell it). I usually don't drink soda, but that brazilian soda was delicious! I got the cuban sandwich here and it's typical. Nothing special, so I'd say you can get it anywhere and slightly less pricey. This place does the job to get your cuban fix, but it's not my go to cuban place.

Best breakfast I ever had. We ordered their breakfast special scrambled eggs with toast, Cuban coffee with milk, grilled chicken sandwich and flan. Everything was really good. Specially the coffee was delicious. It's a small place, nothing fancy. The service was fine.

Love this restaurant is amazing and the food is delicious the staff is always friendly and nice they are the type of people that if you are a regular they know you by name. Their price is really affordable and the place is really a nice The Cuban food is delicious and the coladita is amazing they are one of my faves when me and my friends are around we go there to eat and have coladita definitely a great place for a taste of Latin food would recommend to all my friends.

Authentic hole in the wall Cuban diner. Fast service, good food, and decent prices. Would highly recommend for a quick breakfast or lunch

We ran out of Cuban coffee in the office and i couldn't make my world-famous coffee, so I decided to go on a little exploration trip around the downtown area for some. I walked by Las Palmas and saw that they had pretty good deal for a breakfast special advertised and popped on in. This place is very hole in the wall-ish, but lets be honest, what good Cuban cafeteria isn't? For five bucks I got myself some scrambled eggs with ham and cheese, hash browns, toast and a café con leche. Talk about bang for buck! It really doesn't get better than that. The food was very good. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the has brown was crispy as hell. The Cuban tostada was lathered with generous amounts of butter, just how I love it. The coffee was pretty on point too. I definitely reccomend this place if youre looking for a good breakfast in the area before work.

What to find the real deal? Go here. Nothing fancy, but it's authentic Cuban. Rewind to Miami in the 1980's where you can sit at a counter or booth and have cafe con leche (or two) and a fantastic sandwich Cubano. Worth finding it!

Some of the nastiest food I've ever had. I order the scrambled eggs with bacon. The bacon taste like oil.. which means they don't change there oil much. I asked for bacon that wasn't crunchy and I received a response like I had three heads. The nice lady did say should would change it for me but gave me back the same bacon. Like literally I threw it in the trash after a few bites. The cuban bread was nasty not flavorful and buttery. Most hole in the walls are gems but this one just throw it all away. I should've just went to Whole Foods and got some cereal. I would never eat here again and suggest anyone to do so. But I will say the orange juice and coffee was good. PS.. to the manager a pandemic wouldn't effect the cooking of the bread.. that would be solely due to the person that made it FYI

This is the Ben's Chili Bowl of Miami. For non-DC people, Ben's is probably the most iconic place in Washington, authentic DC flavor and food. My friend and I needed a relatively quick place to stop on the way out of town and wanted authentic Cuban food. It's the real deal - the cubano is HUGE and yummy (although for me I could use a bit more pickle). Plantains were perfectly fried. The people working behind the counter were lovely and the service was quick. The best thing about Las Palmas is the vibe. It's legit, no frills, and affordable. ($16 for two huge sandwiches and two orders of plantains). Loved it.

We had breakfast here prior to our cruise. What a find. The space is very small; this is the type of place only locals would venture in. Nothing fancy. The prices are dirt cheap; actually less than dirt. I ordered a ham/cheese omelette with potatoes and toast. My wife had the grilled cheese and egg sandwich. Both were awesome! I would come back here in a New York minute!

Great Cuban food , the freshness and price is almost unbelievable. A must stop for Cuban food .

Like a fresh highly affordable fish lunch in downtown Miami, go here. Went twice had their tasty fresh white ? fish with sautéed onions on top, with sides black beans and white rice, small fresh salad. All a great price. Small place friendly service
