Larios on the Beach |
820 Ocean Drive
Miami Beach, FL 33139

Larios on the Beach, Gloria Estefan's lively Cuban
eatery, is more tourist-driven than most of the Cuban restaurants
embedded throughout South Beach. However, with large platters of black
beans and rice and a mojito recognized as one of Ocean Drive's best,
even locals can enjoy a change of pace from the
overly-chic-eclectic-fusion crowd every now and then and indulge in
something a little more kitsch. With a large selection of food, fast
service, and salsa music booming over the Spanish / English
conversations lingering nearby, it's a great place for vacationers or
the native south Floridians who find entertainment in the spectrum of
Miami's culture.

Review: This
is where my husband proposed to me. The food is always good not to
expensive which is great. It's really nice to sit there and relax and
what the people walk by. Would recommend it. |

Review: We
are frequent South Beach visitors and dine at Larios on every trip. It
may be the best bargain on South Beach. We love the pork chunk
appetizer, the marinated chicken dinner, and always have the maduro
plantains with black beans and rice. No Larios experience is complete
without a Mojito. It is great for a casual lunch. If you are going for
dinner, check with the hostess for the nights with live music in the
dining room. Once again- perhaps the best bargain on the beach. After
dinner go next door for dessert at the News Cafe. |

Review: We
visit South Beach every year and have a list of favorite restaurants we
always visit when we're down. Larios was new to us this year and as a
result of your write-up, we decided to give it a try. Bottom line...
It's on our list. Atmosphere was great, our server made excellent
recommendations, and the food was terrific. This will definitely be one
of our stops next year. |

Review: When
I visited South Beach I actually visited this restaurant twice. The food
in Larios is very good especially the shrimps were delicious. The wait
can be a bit long at times and they can also make some improvement in
the service. But overall I definitely recommend this restaurant. |

Review: Vaca
Frita was too soft, and had no flavor-the Chef needs to know what "Sason
Completa" is and get with the program. I also believe they BS'd
the bill - 2 bowls of soup, 1 tamale, a 15.95 entree for Vaca Frita &
black beans (Separate) plus two sodas = $58 !! wow! |

Review: On
mother's day we chose to go to this restaurant and we were very
disappointed. The server was rude and careless and seemed in a hurry at
all times. Our appetizers came literally 60 seconds before our entree.
The food was warm and not as tasty as we had imagined. At this
restaurant it seems the servers treat their co-workers with more respect
and attention then the people their serving. |

is the best Cuban experience you can get in south beach. The mojitos are
awesome and the bartenders making them are beautiful. Everything about
Larios is amazing- don't miss it! |

Review: Live
music, real sangria and authentic Cuban food - we loved it all! I was on
business this time, but I have been here before with my wife and I've
had an exceptional experience each time. The food is a little heavy -
it's Cuban after all - but the Tostones are great. My associates and I
had a a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to returning to South Beach. |
