Ciboney - Miami Lakes

Ciboney is a fantastic restaurant! Their Cuban food is exceptional, and I highly recommend the Pure De Malanga — it’s absolutely delicious. The Natilla Catalana is also a must-try; it's to die for! For appetizers, they offer tasty little chunks of chicken and pork. Their chicken soup is incredible too; I love to pour it over some white rice. Plus, on Fridays and Saturdays, they feature live music, which adds to the great atmosphere!

My husband and I stumbled upon this restaurant today. It was sooo good I forgot to take pictures. Our server was AMAZING, thorough and attentive. We would highly recommend and certainly will visit again when we are in town!

Authentic family Cuban restaurant in Miami Lakes! A pleasant surpise for its friendliness and authenticity. I had lower expectations based on previous Yelp reviews. Ciboney easily exceeded them. Lots of character and personal touches to the interior--for example, the ceiling is covered with coffee bean sacks. Artwork adorns the walls. Colorful and welcoming The plantain chips were excellente! Fresh--the best I've had! The menu has lunch specials every day. I had the Ajiaco Criollo on a Sunday. It contained a beef base, corn, chicken, and beef. It was decent, and really not a bad price at under eight dollars for a large. The churros were good with plenty of extra sugar in the plate. For laid back, reasonably priced, family friendly dining, Ciboney is worthy very option!

The food is great and service is good too. The ambiance is a bit outdated, but cultural.

I ordered the yellow rice with chicken (arroz con pollo) for two, and the portion size is perfect for sharing. I recommend placing your order in advance, as it takes about an hour to prepare. By the time I arrive to pick it up, it's always ready, and the food is consistently delicious!
