About
Latin Café 2000

Bringing authentic Cuban flavors to Miami since 1998

Our Story

Our journey from humble beginnings to becoming Miami's premier Cuban restaurant

In 1998, the vision was to create a unique market niche for an upscale restaurant featuring Latin-American cuisine. We succeeded in obtaining broad market appeal and strong repeat patronage by serving high quality food at very reasonable prices in a pleasant, upscale environment with a distinct look and enhanced quality of products and service.

The number "2000" that you see at the end of our name, signified a new era of Latin Cafeterias. We wanted to develop something bigger, something better than the small Cuban Cafeterias scattered around Miami. We believe in serving only good, high quality, food, at reasonable prices along with a friendly warm greeting every time you walk in the door.

We created an authentic eating experience, by offering everyone a taste of our Culture... a little Taste of Cuba™. We were so excited by the success of our first location, on LeJeune, that we opened up two additional locations in Hialeah and Brickell! We were ready to evolve our concept into what we hoped could bring a fully immersive Cuban experience to Miami.

Our Concept

We've been serving authentic Cuban cuisine since 1998, and we're proud to be Miami's premier destination for Cuban food.

Since 1998, we've been Miami's premier destination for authentic Cuban cuisine, growing from one location to three.
