El Prado Restaurant & Bakery

Great food. Very friendly but bring an interpreter the staff doesn’t speak English. Little Havana great hole in the wall spot. Happy to go again for Cuban coffee.

The service is quick and efficient. The portions are perfect. We ordered a Picadillo with chicharo, white rice and avocado. My boyfriend inhaled it it was so good, almost wasn’t able to take a picture of it! Lol! I had a ham and cheese croissant with mayo, lettuce and tomato. I’m addicted to it. I get it often. I totally recommend you come check this little gem out. Usually places like these have the yummiest food and this one is no exception.

The atmosphere really Cuban the service is good. but the food taste like a sh… it…not even close to Cuban food

Cute little Cuban bakery in the little Havana area. The baked goods were very yummy but the only problem was that NONE of the staff spoke any English so figuring out what to order was a bit of a challenge with my mediocore Spanish. I’ll definitely be coming back for more

Today was our first time here and we loved it!!! Breakfast was so so SOoo good!!! Mmmm can’t wait to come back and try their lunch menu. Everything looks good in this place!!!

This sketchy shopping center might scare you away, but this bakery is definitely worth a try.
This review is more for their restaurant service rather than the bakery. I would definitely recommend this for a great, hearty Cuban lunch. The portions are large and you can’t beat the prices. Although, their breakfast is so-​so and I would just stick to café, tostadas, and pastelitos.
I also had an experience ordering Lechon for Christmas and it was really good for the price. It definitely wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, but it was very last minute and they were very accommodating.

This place is hit or miss, but there’s really good service and I’ve had decent food here. Some of the pastries are great, some not so much. Just depends on the look of them that day, I guess. Bakery aside, I’ve had food here also. The burger was actually surprisingly good. I’ve also had the churrasco, which was excellent. However, I did feel kinda sick afterward so something there, whether the meat, the chimichurri, the maduros or the avocado they serve it with wasn’t up to par. It wasn’t full on food poisoning, but I felt uncomfortable enough to notice and it was the only thing I had eaten that day.
So, all that being said, this is a great place to pick up some coffee and a pastry if you’re in the area. The menu food was good as well, but… well, you’ve already been warned. I would eat there again, though, without hesitation. It’s way better than the other options in the shopping center (Winn Dixie and that terrible excuse for a bakery that’s in front of Party City).

I love the Breakfast here. I have never been there for lunch, but the breakfast is fantastic and inexpensive. Also the croquettes (croquetas) are some of the best I have ever tasted.

Went here to grab a quick dessert. You can tell it isn’t fresh at all. I got a slice of cheesecake and it tasted land felt like flan. It’s cheap, but you definitely get what you pay for.

I am such a Cuban food lover! This place is so yummy. I am very critical as to places I go eat, but this place deserves five stars. It’s very casual and friendly. The waitresses are very nice. I had Bistec Empanizado with white rice and black beans. The mojo with the mariquitas is great too! The prices are very reasonable. Good for students or a lunch date:) If you are looking for some oh-​so-​yummy Cuban food, definitely try this place out. Oh and they have a bakery there too! I can’t eat too may sweets because I go crazy eating them, but they look super good. My friend had a pastelito and she said it was really good. Last, you have to at least stop by for a café con leche. When I don’t get breakfast before class, I decide to get a quick tostada & café con leche. I love love love it. 5 star Cuban food in Miami! :)

This place seems to get a pretty steady flow of traffic whenever I am in this area, so I decided to check it out since I had to get groceries nearby. Well, it was über cheap at $ 1.95 for a pan pico and a slice of cake, however, the products themselves were just plain bad and no spectacular price will ever make up for that.
The «rum» cake was terrible. It was that weird, spongy, dryish cake with no fluffiness to it whatsoever. The rum flavoring must’ve been on vacation because I wasn’t tastin’ a lick of rum… not even artificial rum. In fact, the pan pico tasted more like rum than the cake. Oddly enough, the pan pico tasted just like cheap rum flavoring. It was either that or super cheap artificial vanilla. Either way, pan pico has NO business tasting like that. On top of that, the pan pico was weird and rubbery. The cake was no stranger to sittin’ around either. That cake tasted like it had kissed stale perhaps yesterday. Obviously, no matter how poorly you make it, pan pico won’t have that texture unless it, too is old.
All in all, everything tasted like horrible, pre-​packaged desserts that had their shelf life stretched beyond their limit. And what a coin-ki-dink…had a realized it before I started my order why the name of this place sounded familiar, I would’ve taken off running. This is the place that supplies Winn Dixie and Publix’s refrigerated Latin sweets. I tried them before and threw the whole box of capuchinos and the brazo gitano away. Again, coin-ki-dink…I spat out the last of two bites of the cake this time around because I couldn’t take it anymore and tossed both the cake and the pan pico in the dumpster. What an utter waste of calories.
Literally, this place left a really bad taste in my mouth.
