We passed by this restaurant, but something grabbed our attention to look back and check out this restaurant later. The coziness and great hospitality of the people there made us sure that we made a right decision. The food was great, and I ordered a hot sauce comes with my Guacamole Burger it made it super good. The Avocado salad was smelled fresh and tasted delicious as well. Patrick the manager, is an Argentinian man that carried on his warmness and fun and energetic behavior to Miami. We enjoyed our time in here, also we had a little birthday surprise also.

Very unassuming small little restaurant but with flavors that can stand up against any other! This place truly deserves an entire 5-star rating. From the appetizers to dessert, everything was packed with flavors. Appetizers: Ceviche - This was truly the center piece of the appetizers, and probably of all the dishes. Great presentation and great flavor to back it up. Empanadas - Delicious and crispy. Three per order: chicken, beef and cheese. Patacones Rellenos - Three stuffed tostones, chicken, shrimp, and shredded beef. Very good. Super filling. Can easily be a meal. Entrees: Camarones al Ajillo - Served in a tiny Dutch oven. Plenty of large shrimps in butter and fresh sliced garlic. Served with rice and ripe plantains. Great taste. Mild balanced garlic taste. Very good overall. Tacos al Pastor - Good size and great taste. Served with salad. Ropa Vieja - Shredded beef in creole sauce. Tasty. Served with rice and ripe plantains. Desserts - Tres Leches - large piece enough for two or three. Very creamy and tender cake. Whipped cream topping. Mango Cheesecake - Good taste. Not too sweet. Plenty of egg custard flavor. Overall, the menu is small but with really good choices. I was very impressed with the taste of everything and definitely recommend this place.

The place is a vibe! The owner is dancing and singing and it's a sight to see. Once the music is on then you have to sit down for a few drinks and amazing food.

The atmosphere of this little cafe was adorable. I ate after sundown, and chose a table outside. Normal, crazy traffic, with the smells weed every now and again. I personally enjoy people watching, so it was the perfect spot for me. If you want a quieter atmosphere, the inside dining looked intimate and was most likely a good buffer from the street noise. The entree was delish. I ordered the Cuban Mojo Chicken. The chicken was cooked perfectly with a delicious glaze and sauteed onions on it. The rice was great. And the red beans were flavored wonderfully. I couldn't resist ordering the mango cheesecake. However, my expectations were not met with this dessert. The consistency of the cheescake and the presentation was amazing, however it lacked flavor from the mango. It was still good, just not the intensity of fruit flavor that I expected to receive. Overall, this is a really good spot, and I'm tempted to come back and try out their breakfast sometime since the service and dinner food were satisfying.

If you want to enjoy very exciting and excellent food. Why don't you stop by and stuff yourself with those delicious dish dishes? This restaurant delivers an unforgettable best taste of Cuban and Colombian food. And, Ms. Lupe is a very friendly and great staff

A lovely latin restaurant located in Washington. There was seating inside and outside and although the restaurant isn’t very big the space is decorated with lots of unique items and colorful pieces from Latin America and Colombia. The menu is really easy to navigate and they offer a lovely variety of dishes. I was really impressed by the tenderness of the meats and the overall flavor of the food. For the appetizer ordered the Chicken Tacos, and they were excellent. Fresh ingredients and tender meat, I didn’t added any of the side sauces, really enjoyed the side salad. As main dishes we ordered : The Bandeja Paisa, everything and more of what we were expecting of the dishes. Fantastic presentation, delicious meat, beans, sausage and a special comment about the rice and the arepa they were phenomenal. The best bandeja Paisa I have eaten in South Florida. The Ropa Vieja which is a very traditional Cuban dish. It was served with white rice and plantains, delicious dish everything about it was savory and perfect. I usually never drink juices but I was curious about the homemade Passion fruit juice, it was pretty good And refreshing. As dessert we ordered the Mango cheesecake, it was phenomenal. We were wowed by the presentation and taste. Very creamy and delicate flavor really enjoyed it. I would love if the music was a little more diverse but everything else and the overall experience was great. A fantastic and welcoming service in one place. Somewhere to revisit in the near future!! Ps. There is parking available around the area. Guide yourself by the lovely decor and enjoy!

I had the Ropa Vieja and Empanadas. Both were delicious! The staff was friendly and attentive! I would definitely visit again!!

A buddy told me that Casa Latina 1986 was a newly opened spot on the beach and after a crazy Saturday I decided to pay them a visit for a bite. A very inviting and fun Guillermo (management) welcomed us as we took in the fun quaint decor depicting a couple of Latin American countries. We had the shrimp Ceviche appetizer (ok, I didn't check the reviews first... That presentation caught me of guard, and I liked it) which was pretty great. We had the Bandeja Paisa and the Churrasco for the main meal. Meat was perfect, the beans were some of the most flavorful I've had in a bit. Capped the night with a tres leches and an espresso. Thanks for being a solid authentic latin option in south beach. We definitely needed one more.

Absolutely a great experience. Small and tucked away. Great service and delicious. The only thing is they didn't have coffee and the Cuban Sandwich. The menu has a small selection and the price is a bit moderate to high so when they don't have an item on the menu it doesn't reflect well for the business.

Food is delicious, good environment, nice and polite employees. Main entrees price is reasonable but we(2people) were charged 21$ for water!!!

Environment of the restaurant was amazing! Authentic and all. Poala was the one who served us for the night an she was amazing with making sure we were good an giving us recommendations on what to get.

OMG! Drinks and food were amazing! We could have literally shared a large mojito but he love pineapple and i wanted passion fruit! We tried the octopus appetizer which was amazing. The vibe was great. This place is good for date night, family, friends and dinner parties.

The tiniest restaurant I've ever been to but it packs a punch with delicious food and great service. Pricey but worth it.
