La Palma

A Miami staple, La Palma is totally worth the experience even if you don’t speak Spanish. Lol. Seriously, though, the food is authentically Cuban, the portions are decent and the prices super reasonable. This restaurant also has THE BEST churros and hot chocolate in Miami.

So we decided to finally review this place. The service at La Palma is always great. We got there right before it started to get crowded. Our food came quickly. We ordered potaje de chicharo (not pictured) and frituras de malanga to start off, delicious. Then we ordered the La Palma steak w/ fries and rabo encendido. I liked both but my wifey was a little disappointed in the rabo. In her opinion it was less seasoned then she expected but super tender and just a little oily. It is the only reason for the 4 out 5 star we gave it. The rest of the food was so good though. Try it out.

I wasn't really feeling hungry so I ordered some vegetables and I'm pretty sure they were frozen and well cooked and flavored with some butter and possibly salt. I ordered some French fries and they gave a huge amount and they were quite tasty. My favorite thing was the rice pudding ???? absolutely tasty ???? One person ordered some roast pork,with rice and black beans and he seemed to enjoy that and the meat appeared tender. The other person ordered the beef, like chuck roast and that looked good and was tender. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food and the bread basket with Cuban bread toasted with garlic and butter.
