Las Dos Palmas

I love this place! Authentic Cuban food for a great price. I work next door and eat here multiple times a week. You can get some quick easy things like coffee or empanadas at the window or go for one of their daily specials. Those are usually the best! The staff is really personable and friendly. Definitely recommend them!

Grea Cuban food, home cooked feel. Black beans, pan con bistec and vaca Frita are yummy! Service is great, orders arrive promptly, accurately and warm. So only bad thing only open till 6 so order early!!!

I’ve been coming hare for over a decade, mostly for breakfast. It’s great for a good quick meal. The chicken soup is awesome.

Love, love, love this place. Every time I’m in Miami, I go to Dos Palmas for breakfast. This is where I took my fiancé to get his first taste of Miami, and I’m glad it was a good one.

I’m happy to have my studio just a stones throw away from this place. Best Cuban coffee in South Miami. The staff is friendly and the coffee is made quick and delicious. Definite fan (:

Service is usually really bad and the cleanliness of their utensils is questionable but the food is always awesome.

Looks busy all the time so lets try it… Service is good, price seems ok. Pan con Lechon was salty and dry, Croquette sandwich was all fat! Too bad because we love Cuban and are so close. Might try again some other time…

Decided to try this place out after driving by it everyday. You could tell immediately that service was going to be an issue just by the lack of acknowledgement when we sat. After waiting several minutes we decided that we’ll just get something go. Here too was a problem, after standing in front of the cashier for over five minutes waiting for her finish her phone conversation, we just decided that it would be best to go somewhere else.

I’ve been going to Las Dos Palmas for a while now, but their service has worsened recently. The staff is not very friendly, and there are at least a couple of helpers/​employees who can’t speak English well enough to take an order. After picking up my to-​go orders, I’ve started to discover that their portions are smaller and often tacano with the pancito. Sure, the food is good, but I’d recommend somewhere else where they are likely to take greater care with your order.

Dos Palmas is about what you would expect for a Cuban diner serving the blue-​collar workers in the industrial area near the Falls. It’s definitely not fancy but they’ve got all the Cuban standards. The inside has a lunch counter, tables, and there’s the obligatory outdoor counter as well. The staff is friendly and they go the extra mile during lunch rush to make sure that no one ends up waiting. Portions are generous and prices are pretty good compared to other Cuban restaurants in Miami — $ 8.50 for Pollo Milanesa, $ 4.50 for a Media Noche, etc. Realistically, I probably wouldn’t go way out of my way to eat here, but if you’re in the area looking for a quick lunch of some good quality Cuban food at a reasonable price, this is the place for you.

Good Cuban food.

My favorite little Cuban restaurant/​café! I learned about this place because of my last job, all of the customers would order take out from here & my managers would also cater with them from time to time.
Anyways, their food is amazing! Authentic Cuban food at very fair prices. I have had several items from their menu and I never had any regrets about anything I ordered. My favorite from them though is the Sopa de Pollo :) yummy.
Their prices are so much cheaper than Casavana or Sergio’s, even with the delivery charge. They are kind of hidden, you have to really look for them, you wouldn’t see the place unless you were lost or looking for it specifically.
But all in all I would 100% suggest that you make an effort to eat there at some point, there are so many Cuban restaurants here in Miami but it’s not too easy to find one with great food, amazing prices, and really good customer service! (coming from someone who speaks no espanol.)

So here’s the deal. You want coffee, no you need coffee. And now. And you are so sick of the same old rip-​me-​off Chai Latte at Starbucks, and you can still taste this mornings Supersized Iced Coffee from McDonalds. So that’s where Dos Palmas comes in.
This place is before the Falls and tucked away by some warehouses off of 132^nd next to a hidden Publix. You really won’t see this place or go here unless you are driving by and you pump the brakes like «Woah! Is that a little café in the middle of nowhere?» or ya know… someone could mention it to, like this here review on Unilocal,and you stop sometime in the future when your caffeine gas tank is low. Otherwise, you wouldn’t find this place and will continue your life Dos Palmas free.
I usually grab a $ 2.50 Grande Café Con Leche to help keep me chugging on like only the energizer bunny can. It’s a large cup and perfectly sweetened, not bitter and also not mouth cringing sugar overdose inducing. Parking is right in front, run up and your done in less than 5 minutes, no make that 3. They’ve got pastries too if you need something more cause you may not have had enough sugar yet.
Otherwise, I don’t see why anyone would really go here to be honest. If you aren’t in dire need of caffeinication, I don’t see why you’d bother eating here. It’s right next to Publix, don’t be silly — grab some groceries and make dinner instead!

The food is amazing and the service is great.
