La Casita

La Casita, one of the Best Cuban Restaurants in Miami, is a member of a small chain of Cuban eateries owned by the Vilario family, whose beginnings in hospitality go back to the first half of the 1980s. La Casita doesn't skimp on tradition; even the time-consuming lechón asado is frequently featured. The menu is primarily Cuban with a few Spanish items and healthier meals, like grilled seafood. Service is cheerful and you won’t need to brush up on your Spanish to eat here; there’s generally an English-speaking employee around to help you order.

The Vilario family has owned and run a small series of Cuban eateries since the early 1980s, including this Coral Gables treasure. Its name translates from Spanish as "little house," and that's exactly the impression you get when you walk in—that you're dining in a person's home. Expect head-sized steaks, garlicky yuca, and more seafood options than you would find at other Cuban restaurants along with that. You won't hear any complaints from the finicky eaters in your group because the menu is extensive and appealing to a variety of palates.
