“ Highly recommend the traditional Cuban sandwich and the croquettes! It is expensive but comparable to prices at other airport restaurants, with better quality food than surrounding places. Service was quick and friendly, and the food is made with high quality ingredients. My husband is used to authentic Cuban food and he liked it so much we got it on both of our layovers through Miami recently. ”
“ Such good food! Reasonable airport prices and the friendliest workers. Love!!!! ”
“ I had time to spare before my flight out of MIA. Lots of food to choose from. I decided I would have some regional food before heading home. Best thing I did, I had the Ropa Vieja Bowl (pulled pork with peppers, black beans and rice. If I get back to MIA I will enjoy this Cuban food again. ”
“ Fantastic place to hang out in the airport! Food was delicious, service was very welcoming - Andy the server and bartender was really very fun and thoes Mojitos are soo good! Once I'm there I will definitely stop by for food, drinks and fun! ”
“ There should be a long line because their freshly baked empanadas are scrumptious!!! It’s not a restaurant and they have several tables outside but they totally worth it!!! We also tried cuban empanadas that are sold in “Farm2air market” near gate G11 and the dough was not delicious and more expensive (they don’t bake it themselves and the empanadas branded “Sergio’s”)! I was so bummed that we couldn’t get to gates D to have eat at the Estefan Kitchen! They also have vegan flatbread with plantains, veggies and plant-based cheese that is delicious (lactose intolerant friendly). Thank for being inclusive and catering to everyone, good for groups who eat different diets! ”
“ One of the best meals I’ve had at an airport—flavorful, healthy, and truly felt homemade! It’s rare to find food this good while traveling. Alejandro was incredibly kind and made the experience even better. Highly recommended! ”
“ Not sure the low reviews but mine was excellent. After standing in customs for 1.5 hours and most of the restaurants were closed it was open and the guy was welcoming. He told me to get the ropa viejo. I’m really glad I did. It was Amazing and better than Cuban restaurants I’ve been too. Decent amount of food for 20 too. I only wished they had Maduros to go with this delicious meal! Definitely coming here next time I have a layer over in Miami! Thanks! ”
