Esquina Cubana

Esquina Cubana sits on the corner of Washington Avenue and 7th Street in South Beach, a few blocks from the sand, serving Cuban and Caribbean seafood dishes in a small, charming corner setting. The menu leans into Cuban staples like ropa vieja, lechon asado, Cuban sandwiches, and paella, alongside shrimp ceviche, avocado salad, and calamari, all paired with well-known mojitos.

Prices run casual-to-moderate, roughly $20-80 per plate depending on what you order, making it approachable for a quick lunch or a longer dinner. The space is casual and cozy with both indoor seating and outdoor tables for people-watching along Washington Avenue, and it draws a steady mix of Miami Beach locals, tourists fresh off the sand, and groups looking for Cuban comfort food with a side of live salsa energy.

Dog-friendly outdoor seating, a full bar, and a kids' menu make it workable for families, couples, and solo diners alike. Staff frequently earn mentions for attentive, warm service, and the kitchen stays open late, making it a solid option whether you're grabbing breakfast, lunch, or a late dinner near the beach.
