About Puerto Sagua Restaurant

Puerto Sagua is a Miami Beach institution that has been feeding locals and visitors alike since 1962. Tucked on Collins Avenue in the Flamingo/Lummus neighborhood, this no-frills Cuban diner delivers the kind of honest, soul-satisfying cooking that keeps generations of fans coming back.

The menu is a love letter to Havana's culinary heritage — think slow-braised ropa vieja, pressed Cuban sandwiches, hearty oxtail stew, and freshly made fish soup, all at prices ($20–30 per person) that feel like a gift given the location. The casual, slightly retro dining room has a cozy, lived-in charm that perfectly matches the food.

Open daily from 7 AM to 11 PM, Puerto Sagua serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, making it a go-to at any hour. With outdoor seating, a full bar, craft cocktails, and over 8,600 Google reviews averaging 4.

5 stars, this South Beach landmark continues to earn its legendary status one Cuban sandwich at a time.
