    Fantastic option for Cuban cuisine in Birmingham. After trying to make it here several weekend-starts in a row, I was finally able to give it a go, and was not disappointed at all. My selected dishes included mofongo (pork), an empanada, and rice & black beans, and everything was delicious (with the exception (sadly) of the empanada, which tasted a bit off - almost like the pastry wasn't fresh or was frozen). Considering the taste of the rest of the meal though, I'd hope the latter was just an anomaly and not a norm. The restaurant is on the smaller side and is located in the heart of downtown, so considering that with regards to Friday night dinner crowd expectations, it wasn't very busy; probably a reflection of the location moreso than popularity though. All in all, I enjoyed trying it out for the first time, and am looking forward to heading back here to try some additional new flavors and dishes.

    Absolutely delicious Puerto Rican food! Was so good I inhaled a third of it before taking a picture to brag to family about this local gem. Leftovers for dinner were just as good!

    The atmosphere is very Much Hispanic. It’s very good dense whole food For desert you must try the Jesus Cake. It’s located in the heart of the medical college and fits in very well. There is indoor our door seating Cafe style My daughter went back for the Sancocho soup and a protein bowl omg this is one of my top foodie places ANS I am a foodie I will most definitely be back amd Chef Luis is a blessing in disguise . Come and support this awesome center of La Culture ! Eso es! Mucho gusto mi Nuevo Amugos

    So delicious and flavorful! I loved it! Me and my friends were in town for a convention and decided to try to eat some good Latin food on a Monday before we head back outta town. I just want to say the front counter girl and the chef were both very friendly! And the food was amazing! Very flavorful!! I had wanted a certain dish to try, but it was still cooking. So I got something else which was amazin btw! And before we left, she brought out a few samples of the first dish I originally wanted, just so we could try it. How awesome is that? Truly a great experience! Great customer service! We will be back at next years convention. So we will be back :) thank you again!!

    This was really great food! Very unique, in my opinion, to the everyday food in Alabama. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious, and the staff is super nice.

    Update 09-14-20 So we stopped by Miami Fusion Cafe today while in downtown Birmingham. Thought we would give them a try. Nice, clean dining room with modern digital menu. Was greeted by the owners daughter who took our order and was very polite! I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak and fries. The steak was moist and well seasoned. Came with generous toppings of cheese, onions, red and green peppers. Bun was warm and fresh. Fries were fried crisp and hot. Wife got the pork plate with red beans and rice. Meat was moist and warm, needed just a touch of salt for my taste. Red beans and rice had nice flavor. Side salad was great!! Not sure if the type of dressing, had a hint of lemon but loved it! Fried plantains were the star of the show! Crisp outside, moist and sweet in the inside. A must have for your visit. Only downside were that prices had gone up $1 per plate due to COVID and food cost. Overall, very impressed, highly suggest you stop by if your in the area! Previous review: Miami café's food truck was scheduled to come to our neighborhood tonight. But they were a no-show. No notice. Would love to try their menu but I guess I'll have to wait until another day.

    This was my first visit here with a friend..she loves the place and I just had to see what the hype was about. I must say this won't be my last!!! Everything about this place is amazing starting with the food on down to the service. There was literally nothing but the bowl and utensils left on the plate..lol..Thank you Miami Fusion for a delicious lunch.

    Very good Caribbean food! The owner had an amazing testimony and he gives back to the community. You need to try his Jesus cake.

    Great local food. Cuban sandwich is good. Mofongo meal is so flavorful. Beans and rice serving could feed 4 people. Took some home to add to dinner. Friendly, local business. Try the Jesus Cake-supports a good cause.

    I tried another restaurant like this one when visiting Birmingham and was greatly disappointed. But Miami Fusion Cafe fixed that craving I had for black beans and rice. The steak and onions were well seasoned, too.

    You must go! Food is delish. Go hungry so you can try the empandas and an entree and dessert too. Recommend the Jesus Cake and I loved the jerk chicken. I want to try the cuban next time. The owner/staff are so great. They're exceeding expectations. Love that we have a spot like this in B'ham.

    I ordered the mofongo and had enough for 3 full meals. The serving sizes are huge, and the food is incredible! It has so much flavor. I can't recommend it highly enough.

    This my new favorite lunch stop in downtown Birmingham. Great staff, and a Cuban that will knock your socks off. And the Jesus cakes are pretty good as well.

    Stopped in for lunch, it was ready in a flash, so so delicious and enjoyed a friendly atmosphere! Don’t miss the house sauce. Highly recommend all the way around!

    Great little place to grab lunch. Their cuban sandwich is good bang for your buck, and tastes great. Makes sure to ask for their red sauce

    I never take the type to write reviews but Miami Fusion deserved a shout out. First of all, the mofongo is absolutely AMAZING ordered as is (I got it with pork and black beans), secondly the owners went above and beyond to take care of me. Just an awesome place and awesome people. Can’t wait to dine in and experience a date night with live music fun!

    My boyfriend & I just had lunch here & it was absolutely amazing. Fantastic service, the owner was extremely friendly. I got the roasted pork plate with red beans, rice, & a salad. It was a generous portion for the low price & im excited to have the leftovers. My boyfriend got the Cuban sandwich & he said it’s the best one he’s ever had (I agree). We finished with a Cafe con leche coffee and a guava & cheese pastry which was a perfect way to top off our meal. Definitely will be coming back very frequently!!

👍👍 This was my first time at Hattie B’s and I can’t believe I waited this long. It was absolutely the best chicken I have ever had! The Pimento Mac and Cheese was fire! The Bacon Cheddar grits were good but nothing too special. The Potato Salad was to die for!!! I made sure to save room for dessert and...
