Temper your expectations. AFAIK there are no good authentic Cuba ln sandwiches in the city. Wiley Gunters has a decent one, little Havana has an ok one (don't let the name fool you most of their food is pretty far from authentic but some is passable)

Little Havana had great mojitos. The food was always meh but also not the point.

Yeah I love little Havana. Just don't go there expecting an authentic dining experience. It's decent bar food with a great atmosphere

Idk what these snooty booty high falutin redditors are eating in their daily lives that they think little Havana is garbage lol. It’s solidly good food for a very reasonable price, and the view is spectacular.

Yeah lots of hate but I've never had anything bad there. Mediocre sure but that's a long way from bad.

And in light of the topic of this thread, the cuban is the most consistently good thing there

All the hipster Hampden dick riders on this sub act like anyplace cool kids went in their 20s is horrible. I went there after kickball and flag football at Riverside plenty of times, had a bunch of Cuban sandwiches to go with my Modelos, they were never bad.

I went back to Little Havana last month for the first time in maybe 10 or 12 years and it was absurdly bad. In the 00's it was a passable brunch/day-drinking spot for twenty-somethings, but today its Cuban sandwich is complete garbage. Don't waste time there, OP.

little havanah is basically there for drinks with a view of the harbor. food is honestly pretty shit if you want authentic. I've been to miami a good deal and work with hispanics in restaurants. like food isn't shit on its own and i will eat it, it just isn't near authentic tho from eating there it does seem like a bit is microwaved.

Little Havana has the worst food known to man

This feels a bit hyperbolic.

as someone that works in restaurants. most of their food seems microwaved tbh..... it isn't the worst, but like it really isn't even average.

Little Havana’s food is garbage and always has been. The food isn’t even “passable”, let alone edible
