Estefan Kitchen

I think this restaurant deserves a five stars because it simply managed to amaze me. The food is towards the Cuban style but its excellent and the live show is original. Even some of the waiters can surprise you with a song or dance. It looks like very casual and unintentional but at the same time, it can fill the most pragmatic heart with joy and Cuban rythm.

There's Cuban fare in Miami, but until you try any of the items in the menu at Estefan Kitchen you haven't really tried the excellence of the modern Cuban cuisine that still follows the rich flavor of its most traditional recipes like Ropa Vieja, Pulled Pork, and others. One of the food I reccomend is "Chino Cubano," a dish I learned is a recipe created by Emilio Estefan himself. It is a very interesting combination of a Chinese fried rice with infusion of Cuban delish like maduros. I also tried their pulled pork and I honestly tell you it was the best I ever had. It was served on a bed of boiled yucca with Mojito cubano (a typical marinade made with garlic, oil, and lemon) Of course, you can't finish a Cuban meal without trying the most delicious dessert in the world: a Cuban flan.

Although the organization could have been better, as our courses came out of order, and there wasn’t enough cheesecake to fulfill our tables order, the food was delicious! The New Years band was terrific, and drinking and dancing between courses was a blast! We arrived 3 hours before the new year and hung out for over five hours. (Thank goodness for ridesharing apps) Happy New Year!

This place was so fun! Everyone loved it, including my 7 yo. The food was out of control good. The table ordered a bunch of apps to share. The ham croquettes (croquetas de jamón) were some of the best I've had in Miami. All of our entrees were amazing. The atmosphere was fun and lively and fun. With live music at night, it was like a party. Which was good, because we were there for a birthday.
