Exquisito is conveniently located across the street from Azucar Ice Cream Company, a perfect afternoon involving tostones at Exquisito and then sweet plantain ice cream at Azucar.
Where you can taste the purest Cuban coffee at it's best. Highly recommended. It's located in Little Havana along the highway. You don't want to miss their cuban coffee .
Genuinely great place, super friendly and local, a real gem within little Havana. Try the Cubano . I look back on this place with fond memories.
We had the pork and skirt steak all really good with sides of beans and rice , plantain and yukka . Worth a visit - better than expected!
If you come on a Tuesday, be sure to try the Tamal special. It's in soup form which is a little different from how most people eat them, but it is just as delicious.
We tried the medianoche sandwich which was good, and some appetizers with minced meat that were not very tasty. Needed to add lots of salt & pepper to make it interesting.
The food here was Exquise ! ???????? The meat was dry but it's a matter of taste so not judging it. I would definitely recommend !
later in the day or evening, order the vaca frita , and ask for a side of malanga, a type of root vegetable , served with mojo , a tangy uber-garlicky sauce.
Great and authentic cuban food . Without the great and authentic cuban smile… But great and authentic cuban food !
El Exquisito is only few places that offer Hatuey beer on menu! You must try real taste of Cuba :)
Little hole in the wall place next to the Tower theater . Pollo empanizado is great and A LOT
They have an award-winning breakfast but don’t let that make you overlook their “tostones”, “crema de malanga ” or “bistec de palomilla”.
The BEST Cuban food in Miami! Excellent prices too!
Good and unexpensive cuban food . Had a great shrimp and lobster combo. Try the famous sandwiches .

Nice cuban place. Hatuey ale and Vaca Frita (marinated beef ) are must!
The chicken & rice is amazing!!! My husband loved the Exquisitto Especial
I was told this was a typical cuban place. It's simple but I don't think I ordered the right things, I need to go back. Churros were good
I thought I know fries but this place proved me wrong. The yuca fries here are just phenomenal.
This is my home away from home. My favorite Cuban food in Little Havana. We have a #CubanFoodTweetup the 3rd Friday every month here at 8pm.
Empanadas are awesome. Served with a side of fries
Real good Cuban food . Try the roast pork !
The coffee is so sweet and good, the service is fab and with a smile :)

Happy Birthday Abuela Nena.
Try the Crema de Malanga here @ El Exquisito. It's uncommon, delicious, and good for body and soul.
Decent enough Cuban food . Service was slow, but all in all, good lunch spot .
We have tried Vaca Frita ($10.50) and Lechon Asado (9.95). Meat was not very good – dried and not very tasty. The only thing we enjoyed was Maduros . I do not recommend the restaurant .
Don't order skirt steak it's a weird cut of meat. Very tough and has no flavor. It not really authentic Cuban food , more of a tourist trap. If you don't speak Spanish you won't get good service .
Try the Cubano .
Come to the Cuban Food Tweetup here @ El Exquisito Thursday, Nov. 18 @ 8pm. Mention "PALO!" and get a free beverage or dessert with your order.
The waitress was rude and told us that unless we eat there, we cannot have only coffee . Take it to go or go somewhere else. The place was empty at the time.
A bit touristy , but good.
