Spectacular experience! Fun and lively music where even the bartenders will grab an instrument from behind the bar to play along. The mixed drinks are top notch being very flavorable and balanced. Everyone that works there is super happy and friendly (you can tell they love working there). Great ambiance!

In the Miami area looking for a good Cuban experience, look no further. Yes, definitely plan on dinner here, as the cuisine is delicious and there are traditional Cuban offerings. Definitely dive into the cocktail experience. A mixologists approach to the drink is taken as fresh ingredients are used and prepared in-house. Cocktails are deliciously well balanced and pair well with the food options. Perhaps make reservations, just in case. Stop in and enjoy an amazing staff, accompanied by great food and drink. I'll see you there, cheers and bon appe'tit!

A friend recommended this place to visit while our friend was in town and as we were looking for 80s music and it turned into a club after hours. We all met there and when we arrived our friend had a big table by the stage. The place was packed in a Sat. Night and we enjoyed the live music. They even had the bartenders dancing 🕺 and waitresses. At midnight the 80s club in the back came alive and we danced till it closed. I love that we knew every song and the entire place was filled with adults that really enjoyed the music. I don't usually go to Miami at night but loved this little place. This was a great experience and I'll be back with more friends in the future.

Café La Trova is the absolute heartbeat of Little Havana and a masterclass in Cuban hospitality. This isn’t just a meal; it’s a time-traveling experience to pre-revolutionary Havana, complete with live Trova music and a high-energy vibe that is unmatched in Miami. The collaboration between Julio Cabrera and Chef Michelle Bernstein is a match made in heaven. The "Cantinero" style bartenders in their crisp white jackets are true artists—the Daiquirí Clásico is a must-try. On the food side, the Hand-Cut Steak Empanadas and the Jamon Serrano Croquetas with fig jam are game-changers. For the main, the Lechón was incredibly tender and packed with authentic mojo flavor. The service is impeccable—fast, professional, and genuinely warm. Whether you’re here for the world-class cocktails or the elevated Cuban comfort food, you’re in for an unforgettable night. It’s no wonder this place is consistently ranked among the best in the world. Don't leave Miami without coming here.

This classic Cuban restaurant is a Miami institution. Now in its second generation the staff are friendly and the food is solid. We started at the bar with a mojito and empanadas. Our bartender entertained us with stories and laughter. Music starts at 7pm every night. An entertaining and enjoyable evening all around.
