Adjacent to the American Airlines Arena in downtown Miami, this high-energy venue re-creates “Old Havana” style with tropical décor and live entertainment that encourages patrons to hit the dance floor between courses. The lunch/dinner menu features Cuban classics such as ham croquettes ($5), Cuban sandwiches ($8), and entrées such as shrimp with garlic sauce ($19), Cuban-style skirt steak ($19), and Bongos’ famous shredded chicken ($14): a twist on vaca frita (shredded beef), which is also available. Keeping with Cuban tradition, the desserts include a rich rice pudding ($5) and a three-milk cake ($6) that’s so dense and sweet you will need a cortadito ($2.75) to wash it down. A family-friendly venue with vegetarian options and a full kids’ menu, Bongos is a great stop for any pre- or post-arena activities. The views of the bay from virtually every seat in the restaurant are a bonus.
