You pay 3 to 5 dollars more average plate versus other Cuban restaurants "however" the plate sizes are larger here and every plate is a resounding 10 out of 10. Flavors galore ! On Saturdays they arry the Cuban Roast Pork special which is the best I've had... More

For my first time in Miami, I happened to stay nearby to this place. Having never been exposed to Cuban cuisine, I thought to give this place a try. I'm glad I did. I explained to the waiter that this was my first experience and asked for suggestions. When he mentioned fish in a garlic sauce, I couldn't resist! I... More

Our seat mate on the airplane asked if we liked Cuban food. She recommended La Rosa, as she is Cuban. Well, if you like food don't go there! What a restaurant! There were four of us and we all were very impressed with our meals. The Osso Bucco is without a doubt the best I have ever had. The seafood... More

Had not been here in quite a while. I was very impressed with the quality of the food. We had Fufu de Platano (Smashed Plantains with Pork Rinds) and Frituras de Malanga (Malanga Fritters) and both were some of the best in a long time. We also had the Crab Meat in Creole Sauce (Outstanding) and the Fried Pork with... More

We were fortunate to find out about Rosa's From an acquaintance. From the wonderful dining room to the waiter to die for, we were charmed. The Grouper with garlic was excellent. Be sure to have a mojito it was superb!

The plantains and skirt steak were very good. The piano music in the background and the oveall atmosphere are a very nice change from the usual chain restaurants. This... More

We enjoyed a good snapper dish and a salad which were plenty for two. Okay wine list. Enjoyed the lady at the upright piano and the cheerful crowd. The place was close to full on a Monday night with a mix of English and Spanish speaking patrons. A good call for a stop between flights.

We took a group here in FEB 13 for a business dinner. They accomodated us well for a group of 20. But - the bathrooms were not working or being renovated so outside was a port a pottie. The whole outside of the building smelled of urine. Also - there was no hand sanitizer or sink to wash up -... More
