Little Havana is wonderful. It's an old beauty, classic. People are nice, great stores, with Guaveras and cuban hats, etc.. but the food is just incredible. La Carreta is where you go for awesome Cuban food, at a good price. Versilles is more expensive, but also very good, I wouldn't consider it better then LA Carreta, but they do have... more

I have been to Little Havana on several occasions. I have never felt as if I was in any danger there at all. I have only been during the day, however. The first time I went there, about 3 years ago, we just walked around and absorbed the atmosphere. We ate at a little restaurant right on Calle Ocho called... more

I was looking forward to going to Little Havana...but was left wondering why it is an 'attraction' at all. I thought maybe there would be some little restaurants with walk up windows to eat or something...but it's just like any little area of a city...but here no one speaks English. The only good thing was the cigar factories. It's neat... more

Calle Ocho is a can't miss attractin in Miami's historic Little Havana. The district has made a huge comeback and the restored, art deco Tower Theater shows eclectic films, many in Spanish with English subtitles. Grab authentic Cuban food and cafecito at one of the nearby restaurants on SW 8th Street. more

I spent 3 days in Little Havana before a cruise in January 2004. After reviewing various hotels, I found one place in Little Havana - Miami River Inn - which is (I was told) the only bread and breakfast in Little Havana. It's historic and the rooms are huge! The people who work there are so very informative and it... more

Stay away from this part of town. My vehicle was broken into on a main street in the middle of the day while visiting Little Havana. The people explained to me I was in a different part of the country and this was a normal occurence. In other words if you are a tourist they are going to take advantage... more

While there is very little shopping there, some of the best Cuban food can be found there! The best I found was at 42nd and Flager. Good service, staff spoke English as well as Spanish. Parking lot in back, is attended. Well worth the time to visit. more
