We ordered a sandwich and a salad with additional chicken. Both was unfortunately not spiced in a good way. The Quality for the price were not enough. Couldn’t recommend this place, also in front of it could park who wants and hear extremely loud music.. no atmosphere to have a relaxed dinner

Matilda’s Kitchen is now serving up breakfast and brunch daily! ☀️ ️
Enjoy bottomless Mimosas & Bellinis, plus pitchers of Margaritas, Sangria & Mojitos to keep the vibes flowing.
The food? Absolute fire! Brunch was on point with a live R&B & Hip-Hop DJ, creating the perfect atmosphere. Add in poolside vibes and a crowd full of beautiful people—this spot is a must-visit!
Highly recommended! ✅✨

i got the Cuban sandwich here, which came with the relatively standard set of ingredients that you’d fine – mustard, swiss cheese, pickles, ham & pork
One thing I found odd was the bread didn’t seem to be your traditional Cuban bread – it seemed to be some other sort of bread that was heavily grilled on either side.
Probably the only good thing about this sandwich was the portion size. It was really large, and half would be enough for dinner on its own.
Also, the drinks were pretty decent as well
That’s where the good things stop with this place, though. First of all, the cheese didn’t even seem like it had been near light, let alone melted. It was a cold block that felt like it hadn’t been touched since it was out of the fridge. The same goes for the ham. The pork was slightly better, but not much.
Also, the entire sandwich felt incredibly dry. While there should’ve been pickles, there were essentially none to be found. Also the mustard was pretty nonexistent as well
While this place advertises itself as a ‘Cuban Kitchen’, please don’t go here for actual Cuban food. It’s for tourists that don’t want to walk too far from where they’re staying on South Beach.
Overall, a dry and boring version of an iconic sandwich. 5/10

A tourist trap. Many of the high scores are fake reviews. Be careful. Below average everything. Food is below average as service is very bad. Just keep walking and find something else. If you are already stuck and ordered, be careful as the place is a rip off and will over charge you

Party of 15. 1 order served and 1.5 hrs later we were still waiting. When we arrived we were told that we could only wonder from BRUNCH menu. BUT coul not order shrimp and grits because there was no shrimp. Jerk chicken was with added rub only and sorely overcooked wings. All French fries were COLD. 1 waiter for our party who couldn’t speak English welll so didn’t understand our questions. Really bad bad service and food.

We were there and ordered 2 appetizer and 2 drinks and ended paying $138.22. They took 20% of tip when the drink didn’t taste like caipirinha and we ask for napkins 3 times because they didn’t bring it and the meat didn’t tasted good. We ask why we pay that much and the server named Erick told us that we are in south beach. Never again, bad service, bad drinks and bad food. I don’t recommend this place.

When having dinner the waiter brought out the wrong side. The food was OK, a bit below average. Way below average if factoring in price. The drinks were bad, the mojito mostly tasted like sprite. Then they charged more for the drinks than the price listed. Also the service was very bad. The male server in particular spent their entire time as a salesman instead of bringing food, drinks or the bill timely.
Overall there are way better options all around. The only bad experience we had in Miami. Others were much better.

The environment was decent, but the service and food missed the mark. We waited about 10 minutes before a server greeted us. When our drinks, a Mai Tai and a Miami Vice, arrived, they were oddly both pink—not quite what we expected, but we shrugged it off. However, our food order was also incorrect; we ordered shredded beef empanadas but received taco-style beef instead. To top it off, we didn’t see our server again until I had to get up to find her. Overall, disappointing, and we ended up looking for a better spot.

We had the tacos de carne and the spinach and cheese empanadas, accompanied by a Latin margarita and a mojito. Good and drinks were great and our server, Sarita, was outstanding.

Good times when gratitude was based on service quality, not a fixed obligation of 20%. If a place wants to do that, it should at least ensure the service is good, which was not the case here.
Nevertheless, the food was also simple. So overall, it was not worthwhile.
