La Cubanita | Cuban Restaurant & Live Music

La Cubanita brings Cuban comfort food, paella, and steaks to the heart of Collins Avenue in Miami Beach, just steps from the sand. The menu spans Cuban sandwiches, ropa vieja, whole fried snapper, and a family-style paella habanera crowned with lobster, alongside churrasco and a 42oz tomahawk for the table.

Outdoor seating along Collins Avenue puts guests in the middle of the entertainment district's energy, while live music on weekends adds to the lively, colorful atmosphere. Happy hour draws a steady crowd, and the bar turns out mojitos and other handcrafted cocktails late into the night.

Open daily from 8am for breakfast through to midnight or 1am on weekends, it works for a casual lunch, a festive dinner, or a late-night bite. With moderate pricing and a menu built around shareable Cuban and Latin dishes, it suits locals popping in after the beach and tourists looking for an authentic taste of Cuban cuisine in South Beach.
