Very nice place with some great food. Even have a Cuban dancer that comes out and goes around the crowd. Only downside with sitting outside is that the street is really loud and the people walking by like to stare at you while you eat.

The music is spectacular my friends started the party by dancing salsa lol. Definitely going back and encouraging everyone who wants to get to enjoy the Cuban culture, music, food … highly recommended ✨

While visiting family in Fort Lauderdale we decided to stop by here. My husband has heard a lot of great things about the restaurant. Only issue we encountered was a gentleman from the back where we parked in the handicap came out and told us if we were eating here at the restaurant and we said yes thought nothing of it, He then walked inside and came back out and said we couldn’t park there but my son who is autistic has a disabled parking pass. After my husband asked for the manager he proceeded to say you could speak to him when you go inside so we did and she was very friendly and understanding. We had a great time the food was delicious our favorite was the eggs and steak! Drinks were very good not to strong or sweat! Flan was amazing it was a perfect flan and the cafe con leche was perfectly made. They were able to honor us the brunch menu since it was only a couple minutes late. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive. We will definitely return and eat here again. Thank you!

We got the Yuca Bites for appetizer and the Pan con Lechon Sandwich as an entree. A little bit expensive for the amount of food you get (appetizer was $12 for only 5 small bites, and the sandwich was around $20 but only had like 3 plantain chips for the side); you do get complimentary bread, and despite the portion sizes it all tasted really good. We came for lunch and it wasn’t that busy but it still took a while for the server to get to us and get our food. Drinks were ok, the Classic Mojito wasnt sweet or minty enough, the Passionfruit Margarita was great!

Visiting Fort Lauderdale for work and my colleagues brought us here for authentic Cuban food. The place was nice but I wish it was a Friday or Saturday to experience dancing.

Stopped by here for lunch with a friend and tried out the passion fruit mojito, empanadas, and ropa vieja. The food was delicious, staff was very friendly, ambiance was great… but the prices are just out of this world… in what world is it okay for two cocktails, one order of empanadas, and a small portion of ropa vieja to cost $91.78 with tip DURING LUNCH? Food was delicious but they can’t be charging Michelin star priced food for what this is. You can get this at any low key cafeteria in Miami for 1/10th the cost.

I went with some family members, about 4 of us, we did not wait a long time to get served, the tempature was right, food tasted great (don’t remember the name of the dishes, the server was pleasant and professional. Nice little vibe.

Amazing place and great vibe! I came for the first time on a Saturday night after a friend recommended it. I had made a reservation for 8;45 but ended up arriving at 8 and they were able to get me a table without having to wait. Both the service and the food were fantastic. This was such a fun place to visit as a date or to hang out with friends and family. They do have a kids menu as well. Prices are a bit in the high end , but is expected for the location. They also charge you a 3% on every bill to “off set” inflation.

An old acquaintance of mine. Whenever I have the chance, I visit this restaurant; whether in Orlando, DC, or Philly, I know what I’m aiming at: cheerful ambiance, delicious Cuban-influenced cuisine, Latino music, assorted mojitos, picturesque setting, and friendly service; and Cuba Libre always deliver!!!

Interesting interpretation of Cuban food at Cuba Libre. They have a wide selection of dishes from Cuba and other Latin American countries, prepared with a unique fusion twist. The inside is lively and fun. The decor is well done, and reminiscent of old Cuba, with local signs and such. The service is top notch, as the servers were attentive to our needs. The drinks are flavorful, though not terribly strong. We tried a few dishes including the paella, plantains, empanadas and one of their specials. The vibe is very much like South Beach, without having to drive and find parking a mile away.
