My girl and I were craving good cuban food so we googled "Best Cuban Food in South Beach Miami" & the first name that came up was "Puerto Sagua". We live for good food so we had to check it out. When we arrived it was crowded but the line moved fast & we were quickly seated at a table in the back. The Yucca appetizer was lightly fried & came with a phenomenal citrus dipping sauce that was very flavorful. I tried the fish soup which had nice chunks of fish and a nice broth but it wasn't a must. We also tried the pork & chicken croquet appetizer which are like deep fried hush puppies. They were decent but nothing special. For the main courses we had the traditional roast chicken with yellow rice, black beans & plantains and shredded beef with white rice. The chicken was moist... not nearly as crispy as I expected it would be but good. The yellow rice was a little undercooked but the white rice was spot on. It was lightly buttered & tasty. The shredded beef was slightly bland but the onion, green & red pepper sauce that accompanied it gave it some flavor. Thankfully the meat & chicken dishes weren't too spicy so you could really taste the natural flavor of the meat. The plantains were soft, sweet & served as a nice side dish for the main courses. The black beans were a bit bland. The sangria was fine and what we expected. If you are looking for some authentic Cuban at a casual restaurant for a good price, this is the place for you.
