There are a lot of bad reviews of Asia De Cuba so I went ready to be disappointed and was pleasantly surprised. We went earlier than normal for us for dinner - around 6:15 instead of the normal 8 or 9 dinner time so perhaps this was why our experience was so nice compared to others...? We were seated immediately, service was wonderful, they had good wine choices and our waiter, James I believe helped us a ton with the menu. We ended up only ordering about half of what we initially thought we would need and he warned us of the HUGE serving sizes and helped us avoid not eating half of our food and also helped to keep our bill to a much more reasonable amout than it would have been for a ton of wasted food. Everything we tried we really liked. Some of the dishes were actually a little too rich for just us, it would have been better if there were one or two other people eating with us to share, but that being said - rich taste is always nice. I was very happy with our meal and hope to be returning soon.
Pros: good service, beautiful decor, yummy food
Cons: pricey - but that should be known before even walking in

Primo Patio has been one of my favorite little restaurants in South Beach. It's a cozy neighborhood joint that looks like a hole in the wall from the front but actually opens up to a nice size patio in the back. They serve great Caribbean cuisine at very affordable prices (lunch for 2 about $25 incl tip). You have to try the calamari, the jerk chicken and the jerk steak, and the "primo" sauce that they serve with everything is ridiculously addictive. Everything we've tried has been a winner! The owners are super friendly and passionate about their business. It shows in the food.

I took the worthy journey to Primo Patio and enjoyed a wonderful exotic lunch! The sandwiches are filling and delicious; their ingredients are fresh and the outdoor patio transforms the "everyday city experience" to a "colorful Caribbean-themed world"! Prices are reasonable and that sauce they serve on the side (tastes like thousand island) is bloody delicious! Adios!

I come here everytime I am craving Peruvian food. My family doesnt have time to make great Lomo Saltado, or Paella, or yummy alfajores (dessert). The service is good and the food leaves you in awe!I have taken profressors to eat dinner with a few friends of mine and they loved it. It's great to be Peruvian in the Bay and actually say that this restaraunt makes me feel like I'm in Peru!
Pros: Home-like feeling, nice waiters
Cons: Difficult parking, crowdede Fri/Sat nite

I love this place. The food is wonderful comfort food. Simple and good. Fruitlandia is not a place to go when you are in a hurry - go with a few friends, enjoy their conversation and have a leisurely lunch or dinner. Be sure to have the plantains and the chicken soup.
Pros: Food
Cons: Ambiance

This place is absolutely delicious. Hidden away in Duboce Triangle, it's the most authentic Cuban food in the city. Guacamole, Yuca con Mojo, and Bistec Empanizado with black beans/rice and sweet plantains. It's never busy, which concerns me since I don't want them to ever go away.
Pros: Amazing food, not crowded, neighborhood feel
Cons: Not crowded enough

I really liked the food here- it was delicious. Service was fast and hurried at times. Not much for atmosphere, but hey - the food is good and quick. Give it a try.
