Looking to take a load off after walking around Little Havana we stopped into El Cristo for some lunch. It was a must to have Cuban food and the menu looked good. We were a group of five, three of our group ordered full meals...and my hubs and I ordered sandwiches. I mean, I had to have a Cubano Sandwich at least once on this trip done right and El Cristo did not disappoint. The server recommend the Pan Con Lechon sandwich to my husband, saying it was better than the Cubano in his opinion and he did really like it a lot. The sandwiches do come with these potato sticks that are like tiny fries, so you really do not need to order fries -- although we did order a side of fries not knowing. Oddly they came out cold, a few were actually still frozen! They immediately took them back and made it right. Everyone enjoyed their meal, the prices were reasonable in my opinion all things considered in today's inflated economy. Our service was good and so was the food!More

Ate at the bar on Sat. Nov. 12. Watched the bartender who served us, return the bread, that he served to us, that we did not eat, but did touch (!), back into the warmer to serve other diners. Hard to believe, but we watched...him do it. Should perhaps only give one star?More

Our Miami Land and Sea tour had a brief lunch stop in Little Havana and we chose El Christo! I had the LECHON ASADO/ Juicy and tasty Roasted pulled Pork and sautéed onions and my wife had the ROPA VIEJA / Authentic Sautéed Shredded Beef...with onions and green peppers garnished with red peppers and green peas. Both of thought the food was delicious and the service fantastic.More

My family really enjoyed our lunch at El Cristo. The place was clean and well-lit by the big picture windows at the front of the restaurant. There were two waitresses working and both were very attentive and friendly. The food was great and was not...overpriced. We even got complimentary bread to start with. This place seemed to be a go to lunch spot for the locals as opposed to some of the other restaurants on the street that were trying to lure tourists in so they could charge double for lunch. I would eat here again.More

We were visiting Little Havana in the morning and we were looking a place to have brunch. There weren't many places open that early on a weekday morning so we ended up coming here. The place is very simple. It looks like any other diner....There weren't many people so we were seated promptly. After looking over the menu, we ordered a couple of appetizers and some sandwiches. The food came out quickly and after a few bites, we knew we picked a winner. Great food and great service! Would come back again to try other things on the menu.More

Stopped here on the way to MIA. We had Sandwiches and home made Lemonade. Wonderful tasty food with friendly service. For desert we had Coffee - Cortadito. Loved it and kept us fully awake queuing at the Airport.

Great Cuban sandwich. Good service, Jason was friendly and attentive. Clean, nice tableware. They have outdoor and indoor seating too.

Great service and good cuban food. Have tried several of their dishes, and all of them taste freshly made. The atmosphere is local, relaxed.

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Started with a large glass of sangria. Delicious skirt steak with a wonderful chimichurri sauce. Very nice salad and wonderful fried yucca. Also had delicious ox tails with yellow rice and beans. We were served tasty garlic bread. Dessert was tres...leches cake which was excellent. Patrick was an excellent server who was very helpful with everything we ordered.More

We happened on El Cristo while walking along Calle Ocho. Our Cuban sandwiches and maduros were perfectly made. Service was great. I didn't love my Sangria, but did love my Cuban coffee. I would certainly recommend El Cristo.

Have visited a few times over the years as El Cristo was my favorite stop for a Cuban sandwich. This time, not sure what happened. 2 in my party had to excuse themselves to ...... (how to put it politely?) lose their cookies within an...hour of eating here....actually while still there. Service was extremely slow although most tables empty. Not a good experience and will no longer recommend.More

We ended up in this restaurant when visiting Little Havana, following the recommendation of a local person after buying him a Guayabera. Food was good as they offer a dish for two person with typical Cuba food. What was not good was the Mojito I...asked to be well prepared but they didn't (very very diluted).More
