HABANA VIEJA RESTAURANT – Spanish
A Douglas Road fixture that has been feeding Miami casual Cuban food for decades without ever asking for attention. Lunch through dinner, seven days, with a weekday early-dinner special that bundles soup, an entree, two sides, dessert and a glass of wine. The vaca frita is the dish people argue about in the best way, crisped and citrus-sharp; lechon asado, steak milanesa and masitas de puerco with rice and black beans hold the rest of the menu, and tocinillo del cielo closes it. Diners return for the value and the staff who remember them. Unshowy, consistent, Cuban.
