My husband was very pleased and our friends were amazed with the quality and fair pricing.
We highly recommend Floridita of Kendall as a charming family place to enjoy fresh seafood, a huge selection of wines and the unbeatable friendly service by a Cuban staff.
We are Cuban Americans hospitality professionals who lived in Spain and enjoy our traditions deeply. El Floridita de Kendall is a must for anyone who enjoys our flavors and a quality service.
Hoping to be there again pretty soon,

Woah. That was the best blackened salmon I’ve ever had! I went to El Floridita Seafood Restaurant for dinner after a quick visit with Lujan Motorsports. If you’re ever in Miami and you like seafood, I highly recommend Floridita! (They have three locations)
The atmosphere is warm and inviting, almost like a neighborhood spot where everyone feels welcome. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out just right.
If you’re craving seafood that tastes authentic and satisfying without being overcomplicated, this is definitely the place to go. Great food, great service, and the kind of experience that makes you want to come back again soon. And almost forgot the prices are awesome !
Located in Kendall with two other restaurants in Miami are, El Floridita has an extensive menu of seafood and non seafood items also offering a reasonable number of vegetarian options.
We arrived a little before 7 pm and the place was mostly empty and were immediately assisted by the establishment very efficient and polite staff.
Patrons can look and pick the seafood of their preference which is displayed with plenty of ice. Our server also brought me the red snapper I chose so I could check the freshness prior to frying.
We ordered a Duckhorn Sauvignon Blanc for our wine of the night and mussels seasoned with garlic for our appetizer. It was good.
Our dishes came just a few minutes after that: a whole fried red snapper, largo filet and penne pasta with lobster.
The fish dishes had Cuban black beans and yellow rice as sides. The rice was ok and the beans were delicious.
My red snapper was excellent and as I’ve also tasted the other dishes I can say it was a standout of the dinner. Flaky but with a touch of firmness and seasoned to perfection.
Pasta lobster was very good as far as the seafood component and its sauce. The pasta itself (penne) was al dente but not memorable.
We had cream brûlée and a bread pudding as desserts. Good closing items for our meal.
The atmosphere of the establishment is simple but inviting. Place look spotless clean to my eyes and kid/family friendly. Near our both a table with a family was celebrating one of their children birthday. The staff made sure to bring her cake and sang happy birthday.
I give El Floridita 4.5 stars and recommend the establishment for offering fresh high quality seafood and for the efficiency of their staff.
The problem though is the service and atmosphere. There is no clear entry into the restaurant and approaching the group of employees outside resulted in a “sit anywhere” and a shoulder shrug, after a long wait, someone from inside came to ask for my drink.
Then me asking which beers were on tap got confused with ordering tapas and resulted in unnecessary frustration, just to be told all beer is in bottles. That seems strange for the image they present with their waitstaff, they should have beer on tap.
My food came in a timely manner but the serving of beans ended up being mostly a cup of bean juice. When serving a dish with such a nice piece of fish, why skimp on 20 cents of beans? The server did attempt to fix this but the next bowl of beans hardly had anymore than the last.
In my opinion, this place just needs to figure out what they want to be. They have $15 dishes on the same menu as $100 dishes. $3 beers served by waiters in formal attire and poured like wine for you. A plethora of fancy looking waitstaff and then subpar service. If this would have been an order at the counter and take a buzzer kind of place, it would be a 5 star review. But the experience I received does not match with what they look like they’re trying to be.
I tried the Lunch Special. I had a tomato soup, fried rice and natilla for dessert. Everything was fresh and delicious!
Carmen took care of me and she was delightful!
