Latin Cafe 2000

Excellent service and food. Eating outside is a must. So relaxing. Had brunch with steak eggs Benedict and it was tasty and filling. Passion fruit drink is tasty!!! Don't hesitate, eat here!

My partner and I stopped at this restaurant for dinner. Its concept is similar to a classic American diner, but with Latin vibes and a Latin-inspired menu, which I really liked. The restaurant has a large indoor space, plus an outdoor terrace with many tables. In addition, there’s an open takeaway window on one side, where people can buy Cuban coffee and other small items. We decided to sit inside. The restaurant was very clean, and all the furniture looked to be in great condition. Two waitresses came to take our order - one didn’t speak much English, so the other translated for her. This was totally fine, as both ladies were extremely nice and sweet. The Spanish-speaking waitress was super attentive for the rest of our stay. She was always around, checked on our food and refills a couple of times, and brought the bill right when we asked for it. Great service! The restaurant menu is large and offers a good variety of food - mostly Cuban dishes. We wanted to try a few things, so we ordered four tapas: Beef Empanada + Ham & Cheese Empanada, Croquettes, Yuca Fries and Shrimp Ceviche. All of the food came out at once and pretty fast; we waited only about 10 minutes. The ham croquettes came in four pieces, served with a sauce that had a sweet flavor, somewhat similar to BBQ sauce. We liked the croquettes, and the sauce paired well with them. I had the ham & cheese empanada, and my partner had the beef empanada. We both agreed that the empanadas were tasty. By the way, I originally wanted the beef empanada too, but I asked if it had olives, and since it did, I skipped it, as I don’t like olives. The yuca fries were very nice, and the portion was big! They came with garlic aioli on the side, which was very tasty. Last but not least, the shrimp ceviche was super delicious! Out of all four tapas, it was definitely my favorite. The ceviche had so much flavor! The shrimp were super fresh! The portion was generous; they definitely didn’t skimp on shrimp. It also came with banana chips on the side, which was a great touch. To drink, I ordered watermelon juice, and it was absolutely fantastic - so fresh, flavorful, and tasty! I felt extremely happy drinking it. Our final bill for everything was $41, which I thought was reasonable. I especially want to highlight the $8.99 shrimp ceviche - an amazing deal for a large portion of fresh shrimp! I highly recommend ordering the shrimp ceviche as a starter; you won’t regret it. Overall, the menu prices were very affordable and reasonable. Another plus of this business is that there are plenty of parking spots around the restaurant. But the only downside for me is the location - it’s quite far from Miami center (where I live). The only way for me to get there is by driving, and from Midtown it’s at least a 15-minute drive. Because of the location, this isn’t a place I would visit regularly. Unfortunately! But I definitely wish to return to this place soon and eat there again. And I 100% recommend everyone visit this restaurant at least once. I’m sure you won’t regret it!

If you're seeking a culinary gem in Miami, look no further than Latin Cafe 2000. This restaurant is a true celebration of Latin flavors, with a special focus on Cuban cuisine that hits all the right notes. My recent visit was nothing short of spectacular, and I can confidently say they hit a grand slam! From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the vibrant and welcoming atmosphere. The setup is beautifully designed, perfectly complementing the lively spirit of the food. The outdoor seating area is a lovely touch, allowing patrons to enjoy their meals while soaking in the Florida sunshine. Now, let’s talk about the food – it was phenomenal! Every dish we sampled was a testament to authentic Latin cooking, bursting with rich flavors and fresh ingredients. The menu offers a delightful array of options, and I could see why so many customers were raving about their experiences. It truly felt like a taste of home cooking, with familiar flavors that evoke warm memories. Our waitress, Ailed, was a standout! Her friendly demeanor and extensive knowledge of the menu made our dining experience even more enjoyable. She was quick to recommend her favorites, and her enthusiasm for the food was infectious. The service was impressively fast, ensuring we never had to wait long for our delicious dishes. To top it all off, the coffee was the perfect closing note to our meal. The coffee bar station is a wonderful addition, offering a variety of brews that truly embody the essence of Cuban coffee culture. Overall, Latin Cafe 2000 is a must-visit for anyone in Miami. The combination of phenomenal Latin food, excellent service, and a warm atmosphere creates an unforgettable dining experience. I left with a full stomach and a smile, already planning my next visit!

This place was an absolute gem! Make sure to visit whenever you’re in Miami. I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance while on a coffee tour. I wasn’t too impressed with the coffee next door, but I’m glad I decided to give this place a try. The food was amazing, and the coffee was excellent! I had a perfectly made Cuban.

Just a walk away from the Hotel, where breakfast is NOT complementary, this is the place to go for your morning meal. The price along should be an eye catcher. Latin Café offers Cuban style breakfast with the options of classic American style.

The place was wonderful. The tamales were unique and delicious! The miami sandwich was very good, too. Our waitress, Jovanna, was friendly and gave us great service! Definitely recommend!

Very chill very relaxing. Compared to New Jersey in New York, this was a very calm environment. The food was good and overall no complaints. The prices were not terrible either for the quality of the food.

The food is delicious!!! The people are amazing!!! The atmosphere is great!!! Coming from Texas I ate here almost every day for two weeks because of how good their food is.

I've come here a few times and have tried a few different things on the menu, it never disappoints. The food is great, service is wonderful, and I love sitting on the patio. Some of my faves are the croquetas, queso frito, churrasco, and mango citrus salad. I will say that the flan and the cheesecake are just okay. There's something about the flavor that's lacking. Overall, this is like comfort food in Miami. Standard, you know what you're getting, and it's delicious!

Latin cafe is solid. One of my favorite spots to hit up after arriving home from a flight. Prices are fare and food is excellent. Sevice and staff are always great.

Very nice server. Spoke English, and was helpful. I felt like it was a "Latin" Denny's Food was just Okay Potato tortilla was not seasoned and very dry and overcooked. Shredded Pork was a little greasy, from being fried crispy.

Unbelievable food! Great service and cool vibe. The prices are great as well! The pork and white rice was top notch! A walk from the Marriott hotels around the corner made for an easy meal. Bonus info! The churros are delicious! I want to come back already!

What went well...everything!!!+The service, the food, the ambiance was nothing less than outstanding. We arenout with our travel buds and decided we wanted cuban cuisine prior to the next leg of our flight. We decideded on Latin Cafe based on suggestions from our hotel. We are a part 0f 10, and upon arrival no tables were set up to accommodate our group...No problem, we were seated and additional tables added seamlessly. Water and table utisels arrived quickly followed with placement of our order. Food came quickly....all I can say is " there was love in each and every plate". Truly an experience worth repeating. The waitress Ahled, was superb, working our table alone, she did not kiss a beat. What a treat......

When I come to Miami, this is one of the first places I come to. Their food is alway good. I had the breaded chicken, pollo empanizado, and it was fantastic. As you can see, plenty of food. It's so good. I also come here for breakfast. That is also so good and priced just right. The coffee is a must. Especially in the morning. Come eat here. Easy in and out, well kinda. I recommend it.

Stopped by after some cocktails for some cafecito and dessert. Love the outdoor patio area that makes you forget you are literally sitting feet away from Le Jeune! Palms, striped couches & misting fans feel comfortable & tropical like a lil oasis en la 42! We had Cafecito Cubano & split a Flan de Coco. Perfect way yo end the night & we loved our adorable waitress Cici!

Speedy service (thank you Sandra for your attention and professionalism), the avocado toast was fast and tasted great. Wife got the "revoltillo con queso suizo" which comes with toast and Cuban coffee. The vibe was mostly local and family. They have a menu with colors which is a nice distraction for little kids.

Fantastic dinner tonight with friends prior to our cruise in the morning. Food top notch and our waiter Julio was knowledgeable and attentive. Cleanliness and ambiance was great!

Our little Cuban spot in the south. Food was good, we go every time we are in south Miami , service always nice the Cuban ladies are very Friendly, we had chicken breast with salad and the Wednesday's special arroz con pollo and they were both really tasty. Good Cuban food for a reasonable price.

El servicio siempre es 10/10. No tengo ninguna queja sobre ello. Mi pareja y yo las últimas veces que hemos venido es de noche y la comida es divina pero justo hoy vinimos por la tarde y notamos ambos mucha diferencia, siendo mejor la comida de la noche, por su calidad y frescura y sazón. Suena extraño pero pensamos que hay dos turnos y los de la noche cocinan muchísimo mejor. Todo lo demás está excelente, amamos venir aquí. Es de nuestro restaurante favorito.

One of the best culinary experiences of my life. The service was incredible, the food came out quick, and everything was delicious

Restaurant was right across the street on our layover in Miami. Very nice place with a very nice service. I go the fried pork and my wife the lechon. Both were delicious. For sides we got black beans and rice mixed, tostones, and yuca. All were perfectly seasoned and delicious. Great place for dinner on our unexpected layover.

Food is good, Service is quick, and the prices are very reasonable!! I love the Vaca Frita Sandwich!!

This is a classic whole in the wall by the airport. The food was surprisingly really yummy! We ordered the snapper + it came with 2 sides. We chose arroz morro + vegetables. Surprisingly the fish + arroz morro tasted very fresh, made that day, + tasty. I do think it's a little silly to charge $1 for basically reheated frozen soggy vegetables when other sides cost more. The food tasted pretty authentic but not completely but the chef gets the gist. The service SUCKKKKKKKKED :x. The waitress literally left while she was in the middle of service WITH US. At least she left after we placed an order of 2 plates. We watched her walk away with her bags + leave + left us. We waited about 15 mins to then call the attention of the manager because we hadn't finished ? It was so strange. Nothing was comp. incase anyone is wondering. However, this will be a place I stop whenever I come into town - which is pretty often.

I was craving good cuban good and was in the area! Satisfied my craving and was pleasantly surprised to learn that they allow dogs in their outdoor patio!

Worst food and even worst service Take your money else where Management has the IQ of a cricket.

I can recommend you to try the chicken soup, the yuca, and the flan because they are delicious. I ordered the fried chicken pieces and the tostones, however that dish won't be my to go plate there because the chicken was dry and over-fried and the tostones were bland, it feel like I was eating crunchy carton but I was impressed by our server Yadira, she was splendid and so candid, she explained the reason why they didn't tasted fresh and suggested to try the yuca instead. I'm honoring the wonderful service and the pleasant location and ambience of this restaurant, the patio is really nice and the music is lovely!!

My food was cold, but this was good! I just came from the dentist nearby after work and needed to eat something cool and soft. My waiter last night was Julio, and I appreciated his attention to detail.The mashed potatoes I enjoyed was a good texture and not that dense. Likewise, I like the fact they have tortilla de plátano (Spanish style omelette with sweet plantains). I was able to satisfy my sweet tooth (pun intended) with a generous helping of plantain, and he had the kitchen keep the eggs runny to make it easier on my circumstance. Besides yesterday, there's a reason I keep coming to this chain. Whether an extended Friday lunch with coworkers on their patio (they even have beer, don't tell HR lol) , Uber Eats of the Cuban classics (milanesa, plain grilled chicken) or a quick cafecito on their ventanita Latin Cafe 2000 is a tasty and reliable spot when I need my Cuban food fix.

Prices are fair, service is great! Food is delicious for a great price. Their cafe con leche was delicious!

This place has parking, near the airport, fast service, large menu, indoor and outdoor seating, and good prices. This isn't the best food I've ever eaten so if that's all your after it won't be your jam but the rest of things I mentioned were what I wanted today.

Amazing service and all of our food was delicious!! Cant wait to return to Miami. Kid friendly.

My husband was starving and this was the closest restaurant by the car rental place we had just visited so we decided to stop for a quick Cuban breakfast. I usually get the breakfast special that comes with eggs, home fries, ham, Cuban toast and cafe con leche (latte). My husband ordered the croqueta preparada. My food was pretty good. You honestly can't get eggs wrong unless you are a lousy cook. They were over easy just how I like them and the bacon was crispy. It included bacon, sausages and ham. As well as a big serving of home fries. I wasn't too thrilled about them. They were kinda mushy and the taste reminded me of Thanksgiving stuffing. But not as tasty. I've never had home fries with chunks of celery. I'm not a fan of celery so that was a negative for me. The other thumbs down was my tostada. They brought it out super quick and it seemed like it was NOT freshly pressed instead seems like it had been sitting there in the kitchen for quite some time. It was very soggy and not how a Cuban tostada should be- "toasty". My husband had the croqueta preparada and he said it was good. Not the best he's ever had, but not bad either. The fries he loved. Very crispy just how he likes them. Would I come here again, not really. Would I recommend? Only if you are starving and can't drive a bit further down to another spot or any local bakery!

The steak is out of this world Service was just ok, some of the females have better customer service than others. Ambiance is small and quaint. Parking is tight!

I asked the front desk receptionist to recommend a place to eat. She said Latin Cafe was good and I always go with recommendations of the locals. Let me preface my review by saying I asked for someplace close to the hotel. So this is one of those times I should've checked the Yelp reviews. The food was ok, not bad, just not as good as every other Latin place I've eaten. The chicken was dry, the rice overly crunchy and the plantains were ok. When I got my plate the food wasn't hot, just like the dish it was like warm. It is possible that ordering the special of the day wasn't a good choice or after a long drive my taste buds weren't ready, it may be a different experience for you. The staff congregated at the front entrance, they didn't guide me to be seated. I was actually pointed to a counter, I think they thought I was doing a pick up(?) Once I got the attention of my server, it wasn't crowded, she came quickly, took my order and it was out in 5 minutes. If she spoke English she didn't let on so I had to rely on my basic Spanglish. It's not a place I'd return to, but again, your experience may be different.

Fabulous place right next to the MIA Airport. I was a few hours early to pick my daughter up from her flight and was recommended this restaurant as a place to go waste some time, safe location , free WiFi and great service with amazing food choices! I highly recommend the grits white cheese app , the rice pudding and they have outdoor or indoor dining

THANK YOU.. I just screwed up a delivery order I placed and a female manager helped me making the correction. More often than not, it is the small things that make the difference. We have enjoyed Latin 2000 for over 25 years and we hope to continue enjoying their food and quality service! Thank You! Carlos R.

Tldr; All dishes were too salty. Placed an order here for pickup after seeing how many reviews they had, and was really excited for the food. They had so so many options which made it actually quite hard to pick. My fiance and I order dinner and also a second meal to have as lunch for the next day. Filete de Mahi I asked for the blackened. The fish was cooked really well and had a really good seasoning as well, but it was quite salty. A good portion size on this though. Vaca Frita de Pollo This was shredded grilled chicken breast with onions and some garlic sauce. I saved this for the next day as a lunch and was really surprised by how huge the serving amount was! Very very big amount of chicken there which would have definitely been a good thing, but it was too salty! I tried to cover up the taste with some of the plain steamed vegetables on the side but it was just too much. I had to throw some away and I felt really bad but it was just too salty to have. Filetillos de Pollo This was the chicken strips cooked in a Cuban sauce with peppers and onion. Another one with the big serving size. The sauce was really good and flavorful. Even amount of chicken and peppers and onion there. My fiance had this dish and he really loved it. Kind of salty again here in my opinion. Churrasco de Pollo This was a good little chicken breast which was supposed to come with a chimichurri sauce but we didn't get that. A little disappointed with the missing sauce but the chicken was cooked just right and this was a good dish overall. For the sides we both ordered side salads and steamed vegetables. The salads came with a really nice mango vinaigrette and we absolutely loved this! Arroz con Leche and Tres Leches for the two dessert items we ordered and they were both really good. The rice pudding was perfectly sweet and came with a little bit of cinnamon on top which had a nice kick to it. Even the Tres Leches was so fresh tasty!

Had an amazing dinner here! Love the outdoor area that has fans and a cool mist for those hot summer evenings! We started with some white sangria and a beer then ordered some queso frito to start. The server was super sweet and very attentive, he even brought out some plantain chips and toasted Cuban bread to munch on while we waited for the mains. For the mains, we got the Snapper fillet and the Bistec Empanizado - Breaded Thin Cuban-Style Steak & chose the A La Milanesa style - Topped With Ham, Housemade Creole Sauce & Swiss Cheese. For the sides (you get 2 per entree) we got fries, veggies, rice & bean mix and mashed potatoes. We were so excited to dig in! When they arrived the portions were hugggggeee! And the flavors were on point! Our faves were the Snapper and the mashed potatoes. We even saved room for some Tres Leches which you gotta get here. I'll be back to try breakfast soon!

My dining experience at Latin Cafe 2000 was a true taste of Cuban culinary excellence. The vaca frita de pollo I ordered was a symphony of flavors, with tender, marinated chicken that practically melted in my mouth. Each bite was like discovering a hidden treasure trove of seasonings, making the dish more mysterious and delightful than a lost weather balloon deep in the Cuban jungles. Latin Cafe 2000 truly knows how to elevate traditional Cuban cuisine to a gastronomic adventure that I can't wait to embark on again.

I was in the area for work and wanted something different than American fare. I ordered the red snapper with chorizo sauce with black beans and veggies for my sides and it was delicious! Would 100% order it again. I did t eat in but looked like it would be a great place to eat at as well. Has both in and outside seating.

Stayed near the airport for a night and fell upon this gem of a restaurant. Authentic very reasonably priced Latin/cuban food. Great atmosphere, service

By far the best link in the whole chain. Do not go to any of the other Latin Cafe's. THIS LOCATION is the best in service, food quality, and overall dining experience. The staff is great, the chefs are excellent, and the management is top notch. Though they are always busy, they maintain a clean and happy environment. We have been faithful customers for long over 10 years. We eat in, order take out, Uber eat, and cater 90% of all our parties from THIS location. Norma and Olga have a special place in our hearts. The "ventanita" service is exceptional, especially if you're in a hurry. There isn't a single thing on the menu we don't like. You can't go wrong. The Vaca Frita de pollo is a fun option that you can't find at most Cuban spots. La crema de malanga is absolutely delicious. And of course, you need to have a local spot to buy Abuela's inspired chicken noodle soup. Oh, and the portion size!!! You will always have left over to take home! Donde comen 3, comen 4! Since it is so close to the airport, THIS Latin Cafe id the first spot we take all our friends from out of town. 10/10 recommend! Update: I'm heart broken. I found something on the menu I do not recommend. I spent $50 on the worst pan con bistec I've ever had. I am a die hard fan of Latin cafe.... I've never been more disappointed in all four of the Pan con Bistec I ordered. The bread was not fresh... dry sponge: you can put dish soap on it and wash dishes. The steak was unflavored and undercooked. So disappointed. And warning: the batido de mamey is ice cream based. Do not recommend unless if you like the ice cream.

Normally I enjoy this place during the afternoon. Solid service, good food over all. But tonight I ordered two pan con bistec y tremenda mierda. For $30 la frazada de piso sabe mejor. Soggy fries and a tasteless steak.

Very friendly staff. Good ambiance, not too loud but lively. The staff was great and took excellent care of us and the food was delicious. The sauces for everything were so flavorful I could have eaten those completely on their own. We picked this place because of its close location to our hotel and we were not disappointed at all!

Great menu , clean and friendly staff. Jovana was great. The food taste delicious and great quality. Quick service and price. Thank you

Staying at a local hotel, we decided to stop into Latin Cafe 2000 for dinner. What A great find. Excellent, friendly staff. Santo couldn't be more helpful. For starters I tried the Cade Bombon (condensed milk, expresso, double shot topped with foam and cinnamon- tasty way to start the meal. Mahi Tacos and Cubano sandwich were incredible! Of course coconut flan for desert was a great way to end our visit.

I ate here 2 years ago and I couldn't remember my experience but I know it wasn't bad. We came here again because we ran out of late night options and sat outside. They really invested in the outdoor patio. It was raining but the weather was perfect. My husband had the pollo a la plancha with black beans and white rice and a side of plantain. He enjoyed it. I think the chicken needed a little bit of salt but black beans were really good. I had the ropa vieja with arroz moros and sweet plantain. I thoroughly enjoyed my food. This place doesn't have a lot of great reviews, but I'm certain you can't go wrong with the ropa vieja if you're on the fence. I plan to eat here again in the near future. Plus, the cafecito was so delicious and affordable.

The truth is this place is great! this is a local spot, and for good reason. they recently remodeled and revamped it. On saturdays during breakfast time they have a live band playing in the pretty outdoor space. Me and my husband ate here three saturdays in a row. because the food, the ambience and the price was exactly what we needed. Service was good, food was delicious, music was wonderful. I am Cuban I know Cuban food. I love Cuban food and this place needs to remain open for my entire life. Thank you.

We were in town for the day after flying in from Atlanta and staying near the airport and had a taste for good Cuban food. The restaurant is in walking distance of a few airport hotels. When we walked up to enter, we were in awe at how vibrant the outside seating area is. The prices are also very reasonable and the portion size gives you the most bang for your buck. The food: DELICIOSO!!! I had the Frita Cubana and it's honestly one of the best burgers I've had! Very flavorful from the first bite til the last. We also got the crème brûlée and.. wow, *chefs kiss* All in all this was a great experience and right what we needed after navigating through crowded airports. Norma's service was also great! We will be making this one of our first stops on our next trip to Miami!!

Always a good spot to eat at when I get to Miami. Location is right next to the airport and they have a very typical and delicious menu for what a Latin restaurant serves throughout the day, cafecito included. Must try the juices and a cafe con tostada!

The food was fairly good for a small chain restaurant. As Cuban food novices, we tried the appetizer sampler and found it tasty. Ceasar salad (needed a veggie) was from a bag. Sangria was good. The service was acceptable but the ambience outside is simply LOUD. Planes overhead and lots of traffic zooming by the outdoor dining is not their fault, and I asked for outdoor seating, so that's on me. If you're in Miami staying near the airport, it's not bad.

Definitely one of the top Latin places to go to, their Pan con Bistec is awesome, one of the top places to go to if you're looking to have an amazing churrasco. The ambiance is relaxed, there are tvs around the restaurant continuously playing the Spanish favorites throughout the day so you won't miss a thing, and the service is impressive, very fast and really nice.

Went again and ordered some breakfast sandwich w eggs and ham and also more croquettes ham coffee w milk and soda. The coffee was amazing and the egg sandwich was so good delicious. Huge n with coffee wow ! Awesome croquettes ham yummmm .

Very well service,food,cleaner environment We recommend this place Fast a service of first class . The prices are acceptable,and the food taste very good

I'm taking his time today to write a review on this restaurant. I believe that good food and good service deserves recognition, especially in a world where all we do is complain and take advantage of all the things offered to us. I love this place! My uncle and I consider this "our spot " we meet every other week to have lunch here This is our spot ! from the moment I walk in we are greeted with a warm welcome. I search for my number one server "Myra"- ready to bring a smile to our table and good service, that's the way I enjoy the delicious food prepared here daily!! Myra is amazing and my go to every time! Yum- E! The presentation is very appetizing. On Saturday enjoying some sweet sounds of Cuban music. Definitely recommend Latin Cafe! Go see for yourself! And ask for Myra!

If I was a local... I would come to this restaurant every week. All the food was super fresh. The entrees came out pipping hot. All the flavors were great. Highly recommend the ceviche and creme brûlée type dessert!

Authentic Cuban cuisine. Unfortunately we had breakfast before arriving so we only got appetizers, some delicious juice and flan. Can't wait to come again. Cafe Cubano is excellent!

Tl;dr food is amazing. Service so far is hit or miss (not sure if the difference is between dine in vs take out). -1 star bc of poor service. Would've minus two stars bc the service sucked but the food is just soo good.. the chefs are amazing!! E X P E R I E N C E sooooo we came back. It was soo good yesterday that literally we've been thinking about this place nonstop. The empanadas. wow. We came as a group of 2 on a Thurs evening at 6pm for take out. F O O D Tostones rellenos picadillo: it's ok. The meat was tasty but the plantains were a bit over cooked and dry. 2 Empanadas carne: just as amazing as it was yesterday. crispy. meaty. Flavorful. Not too salty. 2 Empanadas ropa vieja: amazing. This is the best for sure. Crispy and fried well. the meat is basically marinated pulled pork.. so much more flavor than the beef!! They didn't have any pastries left at all. ): S E R V I C E norma? (Latina lady with super long pointy nails) took our order at the take out counter. She wasnt friendly. And we had to repeat our order 3x before bc she kept forgetting our order.. even though she was literally entering it as w said it. We definitely had a better experience yesterday as the alexandra was so friendly, easy to chat with and very attentive. P R I C E 19 + 15% tip = 22.5 We still gave 15% tip to support the small businesses... The tip was not bc the service was good.
