Montes de Oca Miami Reviews
This place has been open since the 1970, and I used to come to the original location with my parents all the time. When that original spot closed and yesterday we saw this location, I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical. But wow it completely surprised me in the best way. The food tasted exactly like my childhood memories. The same flavors, the same quality, and that comforting, authentic Cuban taste I remember so well. The crema de queso were flavorful and creamy, the Cuban sandwich was amazing, and the Cuban pizza was just as delicious as I remembered. It’s not easy to recreate that kind of nostalgia, but they truly did. So grateful this place is still keeping those flavors alive. Highly recommend!
Since 1981. Love that. Cuban pizza crust is thick but light. Next time I will try the platano pizza. Don't miss the crema de queso.

Best cuban pizza, exelent service
Best Cuban pizza in Miami. Crema de queso and spaghetti very good.
So glad I ignored the negative reviews . I had the most delicious pan con bistek and Papaya milk shake ever! Thanks to Uber and Montes De Oca my 1AM munchies satisfied.
It was so delicious and the crust was so crunchy. The cheese on top was perfectly melted. The place has an excellent atmosphere. There were very affordable pizzas.
Tradional cuban pastas love it ! Garlic rolls with neopolitan spagetti!
My husband and I enjoyed their breakfast and dinner meals. Prices are affordable. Looking forward to coming back.
Try the house breakfast.

Best bambina..around the clock...super versatile great price...love its chicken soup, wings n fingers of chicken...
Amazing pizza, place looks clean but very modest
The Pizza is very good. The service off you have to wait forever.
Clean place,a very extensive menu on Cuban cuisine price kind of high
Pizzas good. Itll fill you up. Would recommend.
Spaghetti, pizza and cheese cream were all great (the cream was a little bit salty) But the place looks old and not taken good care of.
Best steak sandwich
My go to on my days off for a coffee. Food and service is great but can be a little bit better. Very inexpensive and open 24hrs a day 365 days a year. The pizzas need a little bit of work. My last pizza was terrible no sauce hardly any bacon and too much cheese burned as well.
The service was good, the pizza was ok but not grate and the atmosphere soso, there were a guy asking for money to eat during our time to eat.

Great prices for Cuban Pizza
Good place but a little expensive
The food was good but the customer services no that good
Great service. Waitress was great. The food was the problem
The food was hot pizza are personal size and the crema be queso was delicious. Best part it's open late.
Good food, good attention but woman's bathroom is broken. The people around place had not very good appearance.
The service is okay the women working can be a little bit nicer but the cream of cheese soup and the chorizo pizza is the best.
Casual place with Cuban vibes nice atmosphere
Casual place with Cuban vibes nice atmosphere
Place needs remodeling and improvement
Pizza wasn't good, service wasn't good
There was no prices on the menu.
What I ate wasn't all that great. The young lady who worked there was very nice
My sister ordered lasagna for 7 people and it was horrible... the pizza was okay .. Service very slow..
Watery spaghetti, mushy pizza an acquired taste, only when there's no other place open.
Worse experience ever at a montes de oca restauranti order a large pizza with 5 garlic roles for pic up after arriving to pick up i had to wait close to 20 minutes for my pizza to come out.as im about to grab my order i asked for the gatlic roles wich to my surprise had never been added to my order.i told the server to leave it like that since i was in a hurry and ahe said the garlic rolls where quick to make.i payed for the order and after a while of waiting i decided to walk out without any rolls as i had alreadyy been waitomg far too long for a pick up order.mind you there was only one person sitting in the entire reataurant and two servers when i arrived.this was beetween 830 and 930 pm
Place really needs a renovation, paint and cleaning. Tried the "Crema de queso" it was alright...tasted a bit bland. Pizza dough didn't seem freshly made; more like they opened a package and melted some cheese on top. Bit $$ considering its not handmade. The pastries looked like they been sitting for awhile. Popularity amongst Cubans as the name "Montes de Oca" originated in Cuba.
We were cruisin Little Havana looking for a place to eat late-night about 1am. We stumbled opon this place when we saw some people outside and police car in the lot. There was only one staff member on staff and she did not speak english AT ALL! The police started yelling at the people outside in spanish, so we decided to leave before they killed someone. Don't think we will be back there or around the police.
They said 15 minutes and I am waiting in the restaurant with an Uber and 2 other riders for over 40 mins. Just tell me you’d take this long from the beginning!
To expensive and the service sucks. The place is quite awful but the food is tasty
Used to be very good as a former customer im very sad to say its terrible now . I had a friend that worked here that the owners made her pay 3 times for orders that were left or not picked up which is illegal to charge an employee for food someone left when she spoke up about it she was fired and not paid. True or false not sure her words Also there was a manager named alexis that always made sure the orders were right if not he would have the cook make it again hes the one that opened this location. So many years ago.

Nice service, bad pizza
Took 50 min for a carryout order, and pizza had a bad smell. Skip this location do not recommend it.
Only 1 person serving and she was attending the phones. Waiting for 5 minutes, no acknowledgement. We left the location.
Horrible service can not order by phone unless you pay Never Again
Waitress was rude service was very bad will not return had to even ask for a refill on water
Terrible pizza, rude waitress that stands by you and watches you eat. Not offered drinks, just water. Bland nasty pizza.
Lady hangs up on for not speaking Spanish when I wanted to place an order
15 minutes waiting at the table and the waitress never showed up.
This place sucks. They can’t take an order in English to save their lives. Service is slow and you have to wave the waitress every time. The food is OK at best. Wouldn’t recommend this place
Lasagna is made only with picadillo meat, I expected at least some sauce inside, didn’t like it! Nobody asked me what kind of sauce I wanted inside.they should ask the costumer what they want inside the lasagna, no excuses for such a bad plate.
Really bad place, people were rude, they don’t know what we asked for, they brought other orders. It was a nightmare. Besides that 4 of the 6 got sick with food poisoning after eating there. A friend of mine later today share with me the info that they were close sometime due to insalubridad. Don’t go please!!!
I've never had such horrible spaghetti's in my life. The pizza was horrible . Chicken wings soggy & Customer service was not at its best. First & Final time I bring my family here .
Worst pizza and garlic bread I have eaten. The pizza barly had sauce on it, and crust was soft. and the garlic bread was hard and dry. The dishes were dirty and the waitress was inattentive. 1st and last time, I eat in this restaurant, which! by the way needs renovating.
I've never been here so i decided to give it a chance since i heard its like Reys pizza but i heard wrong,this place was terrible.first service, there was no service. after we sat ourselves down it took at least 15 min to get our menus and water,waitress didn't even offer drinks. there were only 2 customers plus us so the service shouldn't have been so bad.now the food, i mean wow. we ordered 2 spaghetti plates, one personal ham and cheese pizza and garlic bread. the spaghetti sauce and chorizo were flavorless.the pizza and pasta were terrible. the garlic bread was just dinner rolls with Parmesan cheese not a hint of garlic at all but yet my bill said garlic bread on it lol , i found that hilarious. Do yourselves a favor and skip this place. I recommend Reys pizza 100%.
Came to get a quick breakfast just some empanadas and pastelitos . Took forever for it to be ready and then the empanada meat was FROZEN. When we told the lady she said there was nothing she could do about it because already bit it. Her solution was frying the same empanadas and giving them back to us. How sanitary is that! Theres 1000 more places that sell the same things that actually give you hot food.
Horrible customer service! I ask for vegetable pizza, I was served onion pizza, when I mention this to the server she told me in my face; that was a vegetable pizza but they Were out of mushroom. I insisted and she change it! She never approached me after that!!!! I will only come back because of the pizza! But your customer service sucks!!!
Horrible food. Im cuban and this Montes de Oca is so bad and nasty. $8 for spaguettis with really bad taste. Pizza was so hard and had an acid taste. It looked old. Just really bad.
Worst service ever... the owner is a dirty Cuban old lady very nasty...she canceled my order because I didn't want to leave my driver license number on the receipt... ladrones ese negocio va abajo sino están lavando dinero..
Ordered a tuna sandwich and after 15 minutes I receive on a plate tuna out of a can still wet with water it was canned with nothing whatsoever in it no mayo no onion nothing at all just stale bread and canned tuna ..trust me I don't mind the canned tuna but prepare it correctly and don't be so lazy ..its a very simple sandwich ...very disappointed this place sucks
Very disappointed, got charged an extra 2.50 for breakfast because I came before 7 am ..And the cafe tasted old and as well as the Cuban bread was hard and would crumble in a million pieces when bit into it .. thanks but no thanks ... I have gone to other montes de oca and this has never happened
Terrible service, food way off price. They will never see ne there again!
Over the phone service the worse, the lady seems like she was mad and was very rude and unprofessional. I gave them 1 star because was the least available, a 0 is more accurate. Took forever with my order and service very unpleasant, people working there seems very miserable. Would never go back there ever. Don’t waste your money or your time, they will treat you like you don’t deserve any respect. 😡😡😡😡
The most unpleasant experience and the lousy attention. We ordered breakfast, which in the letter says that after 11 in the morning they would charge 2.95 more and the clerk told me that they did not cook eggs after 11. Then we ordered 2 sandwich at midnight and after 10 minutes she apologized for only I had a midnight bread. Then I asked for bread with steak and after 25 minutes he came again to apologize because he did not have lettuce. Is incredible.
This place sucks we got there at 10:30pm on a Saturday and we were told it had to be to go that they were closing. I should her the website that said they closed at 1am and the girls said yeah but no.
I do not like leaving negative reviews but I can't let this restaurant get away with such inedible food. I truly believe they are getting away with it because of their name from back years ago. I ordered a personal pizza with pepperoni and extra-chorizo. What I received was a raw dough 1 pepperoni per baby slices and exactly 7 miniature pieces of chorizo! I also ordered a napolian spaghetti. Wow, if I got cheese it must of been heaven sent. All in all..... Quality of food is horrible. It's unfortunate because the workers are really nice just a really bad cook.
Ordered my pizza around 2pm so I could pick it up after work. Didn’t pick up until almost 4pm! It was three small pizzas! They kept telling me ‘10 more minute’, ‘it’s getting packaged’ and ‘we’re almost done’ but wasted over an hour! Wish I had paid AFTER getting my food because I gave these people a tip for a garbage service. And no, the restaurant wasn’t busy. I had come in when the only two people eating left.
This Montes de Oca pizzeria, they should close it, they give you half the food you pay and discover that you can't eat it when you get home, the spaghetti without cheese and the sauce did not come included, everything is bad, attention to the owners, they may lose prestige for that pizzeria, I think the supervisor should go more often, to see if they can work seriously and professionally, they are the real disappointment.
the lady at night karla has a real attitude with me a customer that goes every night n tips her she is very unprofessional and lazy and rude to md and ungrateful im not coming back ever!! she needs to be fired!
The worst customer service. I call at 10:18 pm asked if they are open. The lady took my order and asked if the order was for dinner in or delivery. We went to pick up the order 15 minutes later ( she gave us 15 to 20 minutes to pick up) and the lady in the front refused to open the door. I called her and she said the kitchen was closed. She said any manager or resposable for the shift was there
Honestly I’m sorry but the food is a no. Not only did it take so long for us to get the food but the food was raw, tasteless and their just wasn’t a good organization in my opinion feel free to come and try it out for yourself but for our first time here sorry it’s a No.
Avoid this disgusting place!! I went yesterday and bought a soup.. I have been vomiting, diarrea and stomach ache for more than 12 hours now! I was poisoned!! I am not feeling well at all and I am considering going to hospital. I have been vomiting all night and morning. This place must be inspected. That soup had to be months old to get me how it did.
One star is too much for the horrible service received this evening. The lady did not even place water on the table. The food was cold and not appealing at all. After waiting 30 min the girl brings the menu after another 20 min she places the order. The kids ordered the strips and the food was overcooked with dirty oil. 2 hours and 80.00 bucks later a very unpleasant experience. Substandard service substandard food.
Ordered a personal pepperoni pizza, went to cut it in half for my son and there was a stand of hair going through the middle of the pizza. The server was unapologetic and took long to tend to us to begin with
