Exquisito is conveniently located across the street from Azucar Ice Cream Company, a perfect afternoon involving tostones at Exquisito and then sweet plantain ice cream at Azucar.

Where you can taste the purest Cuban coffee at it's best. Highly recommended. It's located in Little Havana along the highway. You don't want to miss their cuban coffee.

If you come on a Tuesday, be sure to try the Tamal special. It's in soup form which is a little different from how most people eat them, but it is just as delicious.

later in the day or evening, order the vaca frita, and ask for a side of malanga, a type of root vegetable, served with mojo, a tangy uber-garlicky sauce.

Genuinely great place, super friendly and local, a real gem within little Havana. Try the Cubano. I look back on this place with fond memories.

We tried the medianoche sandwich which was good, and some appetizers with minced meat that were not very tasty. Needed to add lots of salt & pepper to make it interesting.

We had the pork and skirt steak all really good with sides of beans and rice, plantain and yukka . Worth a visit - better than expected!

The food here was Exquise ! 👌🏻 The meat was dry but it's a matter of taste so not judging it. I would definitely recommend !

El Exquisito is only few places that offer Hatuey beer on menu! You must try real taste of Cuba :)

Little hole in the wall place next to the Tower theater. Pollo empanizado is great and A LOT

They have an award-winning breakfast but don’t let that make you overlook their “tostones”, “crema de malanga” or “bistec de palomilla”.

Good and unexpensive cuban food. Had a great shrimp and lobster combo. Try the famous sandwiches.

Nice cuban place. Hatuey ale and Vaca Frita (marinated beef) are must!
Alfred LuiDecember 28, 2013
I thought I know fries but this place proved me wrong. The yuca fries here are just phenomenal.

The chicken & rice is amazing!!! My husband loved the Exquisitto Especial

I was told this was a typical cuban place. It's simple but I don't think I ordered the right things, I need to go back. Churros were good

This is my home away from home. My favorite Cuban food in Little Havana. We have a #CubanFoodTweetup the 3rd Friday every month here at 8pm.

Don't order skirt steak it's a weird cut of meat. Very tough and has no flavor. It not really authentic Cuban food, more of a tourist trap. If you don't speak Spanish you won't get good service.

This is my favorite Cuban place in Little Havana. Try the crema de malanga.

Try the Crema de Malanga here @ El Exquisito. It's uncommon, delicious, and good for body and soul.
Mirosław FlorekJuly 16, 2014
We have tried Vaca Frita ($10.50) and Lechon Asado (9.95). Meat was not very good – dried and not very tasty. The only thing we enjoyed was Maduros. I do not recommend the restaurant.

Empanadas are awesome. Served with a side of fries

The waitress was rude and told us that unless we eat there, we cannot have only coffee. Take it to go or go somewhere else. The place was empty at the time.

Chicken sopa was great. But service was absolutely the worst in the world. The manager was fine, but boy was the waitress mean to us for no good reason.
