La Mulata | Cuban Restaurant Miami Beach

Outstanding service and wonderful food! Yadira was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly kind, polite, and professional, always smiling and making us feel genuinely welcome. She took the time to talk with us and share insights about her culture when we asked, which made the experience even more special and personal. The food was excellent across the board. We especially loved the fried plantains, the chicken and beef empanadas, and the avocado salad, everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Yadira truly elevated our dining experience with her warm personality and outstanding service. Highly recommended, and we would definitely come back again, and this is the second time by the way!

Had the opportunity to go there twice for a little small lunch and for breakfast on a Sunday and overall experience was great. They have a good selection of American food plus some Cuban favorites. We got the combo appetizer and if you want to try a lot of different stuff, it was a 10 out of 10, very freshly fried great flavor. In my opinion just needed a tad bit of salt. We went then for breakfast 2 days later and it was also really good food. We had authentic Cuban dishes, but it wasn’t as hot as I would expect it to be so still good but not you know 10 out of 10 worthy. Would recommend the tostones for the app and for breakfast as they were a highlight and the lechon pork was juicy and delicious so add that to anything and everything and you won’t be disappointed.

Bertha helped us with table service, introducing Cuban food and drinks. We enjoyed the Cuban plates and special drink (Havana Club Mojito) that she recommended. The atmosphere is excellent and more like at home cozy place. This becomes one of our favorite place to stop for lunch and casual dining. Thanks Bertha for your hospitality! We really appreciate it!

What an incredible experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting — dim lighting, great vibes, and plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. Our server Yadira was absolutely amazing — one of the friendliest and most genuine waiters I’ve ever met. She made us feel right at home and gave great recommendations. The manager even surprised us with a free flan, which was such a kind and thoughtful gesture. I ordered the Braised Flank Steak (Vaca Frita a la Campesina) — it was unbelievably tender and full of flavor, one of the best Cuban dishes I’ve ever had. My wife ordered the double cheeseburger with bacon, drenched in glorious melted cheese and surrounded by a moat of crispy fries — pure perfection. The bar has a big variety of drinks to choose from, maki

We decided to try La Mulata across from Havana 1957… and WOW. This isn’t even a close comparison. From the moment we walked in, the difference was clear. The servers were genuinely warm, attentive, and professional. Not rushed. Not dismissive. Just polished, welcoming, and on point. The hospitality alone set the tone for the night. Our waitress Falvia was SUPERB!! Just wow! 5 Ave serve! The vibe? Elevated Cuban elegance. Classy live-style music, beautiful ambiance, grown energy. It feels refined without losing authenticity. It’s what you expect when you want the full experience — not just dinner. Now let’s talk FOOD. The rice and beans had noticeably more flavor than the competition. Perfectly seasoned, rich, and layered — you can taste the love in it. It doesn’t feel basic. It feels i
