Before and after going to Havana we decided to try the Cuban food in little Havana and we came accross this brightly colored chain of Cuban restaurants that seemed to have a location every where. It was clean and the food was appealing and separated by category. Prices were not apparent, but it seemed like a fair amount of food for the amount paid. Tried chicharones for the first time and it was interesting. It is deep fried pig belly that they stick in a paper bag and as I have heard you can eat it like popcorn! Kind of greasy but nice and crispy. The oil is evident on the bag but hey you only live once. Nice contrast to steamed pork belly in a Chinese restaurant, which may be a little bit healthier, but who cares? The food is placed in a styrofoam take out container and you choose a starch, rice and beans or plantains or yucca, choose a meat and/ or choose a vegetable(rarely sighted). Can't eat here 2 days in a row, unless you go to the fish category for a change. Food seems very hearty/rich so best to try different things if you go more than twice per week. Have a dessert area and fresh juices(juegos) which add to your meal. Dining area is sort of out doors but shaded. It's a treat and the food seemed better than what we got in Havana the following week, although it was more at tourist restaurants that do not seem to serve rice and beans or plantains, the staples of the Cuban people. We also wanted to try Haitiian food while in Miami, but presentation seemed better at the similar Cuban restaurant, so my wife and I chickened out after some efforts to find a good place. Maybe next time.This wasn't Fine Food, but for good stick to your ribs Cuban food, it fit the bill. Ropa viejas is good too!

A few years ago The New York Times' restaurant critic had an article on Cuban food. It began "If you are looking for great Cuban food you will find it in Miami, not necessarily Havana"; then proceeded to review a handful of Miami restaurants -amongst them La Rosa. While time and popularity have taken a toll on some of the other restaurants (yes, those are busloads of tourists at Versailles), La Rosa has retained what made it famous in the first place. It has been a favorite with the locals since it opened back in the 1970's. Not a big dinning room but a good place to enjoy authentic Cuban cuisine not too far from what abuela used to cook. Good sized portions at reasonable prices (the lunch special menu is extensive and very affordable). An adequate list of wines and beers. Linen tablecloths, cutlery, glass and china. A nice, casual place to take a date or the family. Friendly service glad to provide suggestions from the day's specials -and to bring you not bread but a bowl of fried plantain chips. I have visited the place a few times through the years and gladly recommend it.

Was there for a business lunch yesterday. Food and service was excellent. The "executive lunch" specials are well worth it otherwise you are talking about $50 per person without drinks. Only issue I have is that tables are very close together and while it wasn't a problem for us since we were there early, I suspect noise level and privacy could be compromised when full. Will go back for dinner.

Staying at the YVE Hotel and asked several people where we could get a good Cuban sandwich... 3 different people immediately said La Carreta! Had a traditional Cuban sandwich, white bean soup, and dessert... EVERYTHING was delish and the wait staff was very attentive.

We had a great evening with friends who live nearby and recommended Versailles. Because we were enjoying the companionship I didn't worry that much about my food. My husband enjoyed his Seafood Casserole Au Gratin, but commented that it was a little heavy.I had the Classic Cuban Sampler (White Rice, Black Beans, âPicadilloâ Ground Beef, Roast Pork, Sweet Plantains, Ham Croquette, Cuban Tamale, and Cassava with Cuban Mojo) because I wanted to try a little of everything. I will say that everything was lukewarm. But all the dishes were flavorful and interesting. None of us ordered an appetizer or dessert.We shared a pitcher of the red Sangria. It was OK, but a little odd . . . not much fruit in it.Service was a little ho hum, but the food was served promptly and we were enjoying ourselves too much to worry about a server who was less than charming.

Have been coming for years- its always the place to go for typical spanish food (croquetas, quesos, paellas, pulpo) and spanish wine (house wine changes often so you can try different things). I went for a quick work lunch and had croquetas, some cheeses and the octopus. I highly recommend it when you are craving spanish food in miami. The waitresses are sooo educated in wine it a pleasure to chat them up and hear their thoughts on which wines to try!

Went for the Saturday evening dinner/flamenco show. The flamenco performance was fabulous but the food was so disappointing!Started out with croquetas and garbanzo frito. Had to wait a long time for the appetizers to come out. We all ordered the seafood paella as the main course. We were served a watered down paella that had no taste!!!! And we all suffered from stomach issues the next day!Service was confusing.Go for the show and only order drinks and maybe tapas. Dear Letty,I appreciate you took the time to share your dining experience back on June 29. We are glad you enjoyed the flamenco show. We actually just open a new show "Verano Flamenco" every Friday at 8:30 p.m. featuring the best flamenco artists of Miami!I am Claudia, and I personally took care of your table. My husband Sergio and I are the owners of Bellmont and we take pride interacting with our guests and taking good care of them from open to close. I am sorry that you didn't like the paella. However, I am also disappointed that neither you, your husband, nor your daughter and her boyfriend complained about the food when I asked several times how was everything. I trusted your positive answers, and I was pleased to remove empty dishes from your table, including the four paellas. If you would have been honest with me, I would've tried to compensate your disappointment in several ways. Sadly, you didn't give me the opportunity.I hope you visit us again, and try many other dishes in our wide menu. I also want to share with you and all the readers of this review that this week we were awarded as the Best Spanish Restaurant in Coral Gables by the prestigious Coral Gables Magazine.Sincerely,

The food was so good we went back two days later for more! The menu is so extensive that there is certainly something for everyone. We ordered Paella, which was deliious, salmon in orange sauce, gorgonzola chicken, avocado chicken, a steak and a burger, all of which were praised by those devouring the delicious meal. Portions are big and delicious. Staff was very attentive to our every need. And on top of everything we ordered desert. Be forewarned that you need to plan desert into your meal as the deserts are huge and delicious! We landed up leaving the restaurant on both occasions with lots of take out containers and we did enjoy the left overs for lunch the next days.

In my opinion this place is average because the portions for the tapas are not generous and it is very loud, hence the name "bulla"...Having said that, every time I drive by the restaurant is always packed with customers having a good time.

At Bulla we value the opinion of our guests, please share with us your telephone number, we would love to have the opportunity to reach out to you to get more of your suggestions.Looking forward to your kind communication,Elizabeth [email protected]
